I think I have just found an excellent interview question about security and private member access. Although I won't give away the answer, I hope the submitter and anyone posting about security issues aren't looking for jobs.:)
I was going to reply that there was no way MS would be behind this because David Boies is the lead council for SCO now, but then I remembered how MS hires the best developers from the competition (Borland), so why not the best lawyers?
Polymorphism is a single tool in the belt and doesn't replace switch statements. Although I agree every instance of a switch statement can probably be implemented with polymorphismc some times you will end up with a worse design using polymorphic solutions that haven't placed enough emphasis on encapsulation and connascence. Options are good.
If all of your interfaces are internal then that is probably a valid solution. Unfortunately RMI is a pain in the ass when working with external vendors and suppliers. Web Services using XML work better in that situation.
Internally, we use XML rather than RMI because it's easier for us to document the contract between teams using XML. I admit there is some overhead converting between java and XML, but whenever we have interoperability issues we can review the XML to resolve disputes.
Rather that using the stick, why doesn't the government try using a carrot? Create a better mail protocol and insist that businesses that deal with the govenrment must use the new protocol for email.
My bet is that it would quickly become integrated into mail servers and users would never know.
I have a tough time understanding this argument. What value does the Java brand have? I think Sun's biggest problem is that they have sunk a ton of resources in java but haven't been able to successfully capitalize on it as much as other companies (IBM, BEA).
What additional value does IBM get by "owning" java?
Nobody uses Sun's java products, except on Sun hardware. WebLogic and WebSphere are far better J2EE implementations and I still trust IBM's JVM over Sun's.
You have more faith in systems / sites than I do. How many of those websites with ids and passwords store the passwords in plain text? Do you trust all sites by putting in your master password?
Even worse, lots of people use the same id/password combinations repeatedly across sites.
Too bad this article is so old. I just did a google search on slashdot, and the paid ad to the right is Google, saying they are hiring.
I guess google wants to hire slashdot readers!
I'm not from the US, but as a friend to the North, I have to take an issue with your use of the term "uninfluenced", especially when it comes with "well informed". It seems to me that if you are uninfluencable (how's that word?) then you are unwilling to listen to reasonable debate or alternative positions on important matters.
Perhaps you feel Americans are too easily influenced by television commercials, politicians, etc.?
Saying Europeans are uninfluenced reinforces a stereotype we have that most Europeans are unwilling to keep up with the times and prefer living in the "old days" rather than competing. I'm pretty sure that wasn't your intention.
Java? I agree that some of the extensions have been developed under the JCP but I was under the impression that James Gosling and his team at Sun created Java. Am I misinformed?
Some of these rules may not apply to you. If they do not, you will know exactly which ones do not, and why they do not apply. If you are not sure, then they definitely all apply to you.
I'm sure they don't apply to me.
Perfect for a Friday. Somebody calls bullsh*t and the original caller actually posts a link backing up his claim!
Doesn't he know he's supposed to say - I'm too busy right now, but if you do a google search on Utah sex...
Please try not to ask questions that can be answered with a few minutes' worth of on-line research.
When did slashdot incorporate this standard? Me thinks the editors are starting to be embarrassed by their readership.

Father? I remember reading that he gave birth to Linux, I think he's the mother.
Damn anthropomorphisms.

Dotfuscator comes with Visual Studio 2003.
If somebody can prove that SCO stole GPL code, it might be possible to force them to GPL their entire kernel.
Great more ammunition for MS viral license crap.
Nope.

There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!
Well the parent got it running through my head, now everyone can suffer with me!
Remember, you can never put too much water into a nuclear reactor.
Testing takes time. Does that sound like a reasonable explanation?
Why is the "one computer at a time" line okay? If I bought the software why should I not install it on all my computers?
Thanks, I just woke my kids up laughing too loud. It's too bad that's too long for a sig.

Please, no more roll your own classes for features that have been part of the language for years, especially collection classes.
Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm actually evaluating Small Business Manager for a client.
