Even today, people force themselves through the painful pronunciation of "double you double you double you dot" when it's completely unnecessary for almost all sites.
How could you "corner the market" like that? Java has an incredibly strong free software culture around it; making the compiler proprietary (it's free software today) and then even charging for it, would be Oracle Java's death knell and a free fork would take over.
I see what you mean, thanks for the link. So it's a scale between features/convenience/usefulness and privacy. Personally I value privacy higher, and I'm glad I can "opt-out" so to speak.
That's not true in my experience. I have switched from Google to Scroogle (.org) which doesn't track me. I lose the geolocation (hits from my own country first), but everything else is fine.
There's a difference between keeping track of who has subscribed and keeping track of what subscribers search for. Of course, in this scenario, subscribers would have to blindly trust Microsoft.
Properties are more than syntactic sugar. They enforce the uniform access principle, which is handy. When the caller don't know if foo.fraction is a method or a value, the class implementer is free to change between the two without changing the API.
I remember in Norway, many episodes were aired in the afternoon, HALF an episode a day, and only on a quarter of the screen. The rest of the screen real-estate was mindless SMS chat and polls and whatever. Impossible to enjoy.

Dogecoin literally doubled in value the other week.
Among other inaccuracies which others have corrected, you have the blockchain size wrong. It's currently about 64GB on my node.
Oh America, when will you ever learn the difference between "your" and "you're"?
Please, when are you going to fix this cutoff? It's so annoying. Firefox 6 on latest Ubuntu.
It's happened before, but very rarely. Notably it happened for KDE 4.1.
As an Orange-American, I find that highly offensive.

Can you help a poor guy out? What were the suggestions?
This would have been a decent post without all the "sweetheart" bullshit. Hard to take a sexist seriously.
I wonder if Berners-Lee cringes when he sees Cerf described as "the Godfather of the web" :-)
Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance#Comparison_to_other_languages:
Oracle still owns the copyright.
He then later followed up with "SHABOOM!" and slapped his wife on the ass, before immediately pounding a 40.
Scala is multiparadigmal; you can use the functional features when you want, and ignore them and program Java-style when you want.

Heck, Amsterdam even has it in their flag.

Ah! I had an M100 as well. It was great for its time. I later got a Tungsten, which was even better. Have both of them around here somewhere.
Is that you, Rick Sanchez?
I suspect and hope that your post is a hoax. I have not been able to find any news coverage.
