What is the problem, really?
The Java VM and language specs are out there. Anyone is free to implement them and released their source as Open Source. So, _ w-h-a-t _ i-s _ t-h-e _ d-e-a-l ?
Gravity is weak. It is weak compared to two other extremely important type of forces: electro-magnetic forces and forces that keep an atome's nucleus together.
Then just implement one-time handshakes in your system. Once a handshake has been used, it cannot be reused again. You have to use another fresh handshake.
You are confusting J2SE and J2EE.
HttpSession APIs are defined in J2EE, which typically tries to limit its dependencies on J2SE.
For example, J2EE 1.3 requires J2SE 1.3; and J2EE 1.4 requires J2SE 1.4 (that's kind of easy to remember, eventough it's actually coincidential since their release cycles are totally independent).
So since the latest J2EE specs -- J2EE 1.4 -- does not have any dependencies on J2SE 1.5, they can't really promote generics in there.
Now, technically, I think it might still be possible to provide a customized servlet.jar file with extra classes -- without touching the existing ones -- and get generics in there. But legally, I am not sure that is allowed.
If you are karma-whoring, you could at least do it in HTML...
(Score:-1, Troll)
Now, honnestly... What's the probability that this flaimebait post be moderated twice as a Troll? Overrated, yes. Flaimebait, yes.
Troll? No.
Or maybe only in the minds of clueless moderators who either worship article mirroring habits (' cause that's how they got their own Karma;-), or enjoy slaughtering someone's user id as a Troll.
I mean, writing a Troll -- by essence -- must be a voluntary act, right? Otherwise, it's just flamebait. Well, then, get this: I didn't mean to troll, I meant to flame.
Now, off course, maybe I am a nature-born Troller and I don't know about it...
Actually, "andros" means a human of the masculin gender. Man/mankind is represented by the word "antropos" in greek, hence "antropology", which is the study of humankind.
See. Your mini-rant is complaining about what pisses you off and you end up giving advice on how to make the system better (i.e. "they need to get over themselves and realize they're not as entitled as they think they are.")
So, you are trying to make the system better by bitching. This is a proof that bitching is a search for excellence, no?
Actually, Sun Microsystems for example makes sure that your IP belongs to a well-known and trusted subnet before it allows you to download code that may infringe on export rules.
If they are not 100% sure of where your IP is geographically located, they will not allow you to download the code. It happens to me once on a T3 line in Belgium. I was running behind a bunch of proxies, which I guess somehow prevented Sun to know for sure that I was a trusted user in an Allied country. I had to use a slow dial up account with some Belgian ISP to finally be allowed to download the crypto code.
MHD Disk is the latest in video encoding for Media requiring a High-Definition format. It is superior to the other formats that are being fought over right now, including certain DVD initiatives that were discussed here recently. MHD is the only high-definition encoding that supports VCR, as the article judiciously illustrates.
The initial prototype comes with a dual-tray system that allows you to load two MHD disks at the same time, and makes a smart use of different color cables to facilitate connections with your Audio/Video receiver.
And it runs BeOS, too.

You don't have pointer either. So, who cares about buffer overflows?

Just wait for him to be moderated "Interesting" and you "Flaimebait". That's the new trend around here, it seems.
You have succesfully scared me away from MySQL...
Next time I start a new project that requires persistence, I am dicthing MySQL.

For those of you who missed it, there is a RealPlayer feed on marketplace.org.
Maybe it is no so easy to hack.
Do you know for sure that they don't use some Public Key Infrastructure? Or 3DES? Or AES with a long enough key?
Overrated, yes. Flaimebait, yes.
Troll? No.

It embeds space in any sequence of charaters that doesn't contain enough white space.
And thanks for the links.

Or imagine -- say -- Georges Bush shouting "Give me an A".
But that's of course ludicrous... Oh wait... Maybe not.
You are confusing two different things.
Woaw, now, that's a helpful comment.
Another piece of advise is to put your computer, keyboard and mouse on the highest shelf in the room. That way, nothing can fall on it.
Now, can't Novell simply ask SCO to stop annoying them, and if they don't stop, just proclaim on behalf of SCO that this one lawsuit is over?
Now, finally, a good test case for the Lie Detector Glasses for sceptical Slashdot readers!
