Did you look at SWT? Like AWT it uses peered native widgets instead of drawing everything itself like Swing. It sounds like some of the problem that you were having is that a Swing window looks empty to the window manager. All of the internal structure is hidden inside the Java code.
I haven't tried SWT. It sounds like it takes some study to get started. Hopefully it is more compatible between Windows and X than AWT.
Actually, you are right. Bush didn't do the spying. He authorized the NSA to do it for him.
"In the weeks following the terrorist attacks on our nation, I authorized the National Security Agency, consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution, to intercept the international communications of people with known links to Al-Qaeda and related terrorist organizations."
-- G. W. Bush, Radio Address, Dec 2005
Now lets look at that Constituion, shall we?
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
-- Former 4th amendment to the US Constitution (now obsolete)
Oh, and I should point out that "the people" has been interpreted not just to mean US citizens. See Landon v. Plasencia, 459 U.S. 21, 32-4 ('82).
How hard would it be for the DRM program to detect that it had been bypassed, and send an email to Sony? Police don't have to come to your house and search to find DMCA violations. No publishing is required to be in violation. And it has no exemption for software placed on your PC without your knowledge. In fact, the law just says:
""(1)(A) No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title."
I have just started a company called, let me see, Certified Software, LLC which will place our well-known "Safe As Houses" seal of approval on your low-cost software package for only $99. The large enterprise edition puts the "Rock-Solid Software" seal on for $2999. It includes an actual tamper-proof seal similar to the type that prevent you from opening bags of weed killer. Does that make you feel better? Diebold is our first big customer.
And what does the blind person on low income do with their Office 97 braille-accessible components when they download a 2003 document from the government website? Upgrade? Don't know if you've noticed, but the less well off segments of society generally aren't on the latest hardware and software.
Your reply is a good example of what I meant by applying the wrong domain to the question. If what you want are "correct" answers, then you are looking for science. When I said even atheists need answers to these questions, I was including myself. I used to consider myself an existentialist, that life has no intrinsic meaning, precisely because of the inability for science to provide answers to these questions. It took me a while to realize that the limitation is in science, not in the nature of the questions.
Sorry to hear that you were terminated. Monster.com has only ever gotten me recruiter calls, but they're better than no calls at all.
The problem is when people use the wrong domain to answer questions.
When your question is: Where did the dinosaurs go? or Where did all these birds come from? then science gives the answer.
When your question is: Why am I here? or What is the purpose of my life? then science isn't much help. Even atheists have to answer these questions, though, so you can't say that religion is just wrong, or a "convenient explanation" as you put it.
If you don't attempt to connect your life to something greater than yourself, then you could be replaced by a robot. That's why science is incomplete. Everyone feels some attachment to the universal.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
What part of "no law" is so hard to understand? By the way, its OK to yell "fire" in a crowded theatre when its on fire.
Why? An egg is a live human cell, a sperm is a live human cell and the resulting zygote is a live human cell. Is there some kind of magic about conception? Do you believe that a soul is created at that instant? Life is a process, not a moment or a creation with a distinct beginning and end.
Life doesn't begin at conception, its already there.
Most businesses are moving away from interpersonal service to self-serve backed by monitoring. Look at self-serve gas, supermarket checkout, ATMs. I think ATMs are a win, since they reduce lines. In supermarkets I find a human if I'm in a hurry, tho. Databases are replacing the "Mr. Whipple" model of the manager who knows his customers. Now its the database miners who know their clients. Its just automation moving higher up the chain.

It should be trivial to make your own root servers. There are only 100 or so tlds. Then you don't have to care who owns it. Plus you could just leave out the.biz domain and get rid of a lot of spam.

My advice. Never piss on the third rail.
Same DRM? Sony plans to include self-destruct of hacked players. I haven't heard that for HD-DVD.
What about JFrame, JRootPane, glasspane, layeredPane and contentPane == severeHeadPane.

ITYM the US Signals Intelligence Directive. Its only partly secret, its legal and its not morally imperative, just expedient.
So if they are only wiretapping foreign terrorists, then why is it a problem to get a warrant?

Imagine a non-technical jury trying to follow this:
This woman stole our IP.
How do you know?
Because her ISP gave us her IP.
They already have proof of guilt:
"China's online game market brought in $580 million this year"
that's good enough proof for any lawyer to jump at the case.
Cut and paste is more fun this way. Especially if you like to eat the paste.

There was just an article on how MicroSoft fights Zombies. Oh, wait.
