    And then they figure that since Opera was ok, the other apps were overhyped as well. Before you know it, they have cracked their iPhone and are at an alternative app store, having unprotected downloads and sharing files filled with viruses.

    Opera, the gateway app.

  5. Re:"java" on UK Controllers Say Air Traffic System 'Not Safe' · · Score: 1

    I don't get what you are saying here. Java is overall a very good language that is safe, reliable and fast. But it is not ideally fit for realtime systems. Most of the systems you mention would do well with Java. I would rather take an occasional pause for gc than a dangling pointer in unsafe memory or a vb nightmare.

  6. Re:"java" on UK Controllers Say Air Traffic System 'Not Safe' · · Score: 1

    Java can be incredibly fast and efficient if done properly. But it is not by any means a real time system without a seriously redesigned garbage collection system among other things.

    The article does not mention j2ee though.

    Right, its not like every ARM SoC used in common smart phones and digital cameras doesn't come with automatic support for touch screens. Might have to zoom in closer than you are used to get the precision you want, but its very doable.

    No. you are incorrectly believing that monopoly has a negative connotation because you only ever hear about it when preceded by "abuse of".

    Monopolies are not inherently bad. Its just that it puts an entity solely motivated to profit in a position of inequitable power that can be leveraged to further that goal at the expense of everyone else. Abusing that power is negative.

    The only inherent bad quality of a monopoly is in the homogeneous qualities of a monoculture being slow or unable to adapt to rapid change. And that does not necessarily apply to corporate entities in the way it applies to evolving populations.

  12. Re:Excellent! on Bing Becomes No.2 Search Engine at 4.37% · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1: You don't have to be anti-competitive to be a monopoly. You just have to be significantly larger than your nearest rival.

    2: Drastically undercutting your opponents prices in a new market by leveraging profits from a different market to support it can be seen as anti-competitive. Many for profit vendors see google pushing open source products as this.

    You are completely ignoring that your skin and muscle is damn strong, and with the exception of your lungs and sinuses, most of your body is going to maintain pressure through physical restraint of your skin and muscle.

    Your lungs are good at venting gas and your sinuses are mostly non critical. You are still most likely going to die, but you won't be exploding.

    You don't even really need to be able to direct the sail if you can change its surface area. Deploy to maximum at apoapsis and it will slow the craft as it approaches periapsis resulting in a lower periapsis. The hard part (using a solar sail) would be drawing in apoapsis, as you would have to exert thrust towards the sun, you would need use a more conventional thruster and undeploy the solar sail or you will end up increasing the ellipticality.

  16. Re:Marriage Problems in General on Facebook Linked To One In Five Divorces In US · · Score: 1

    I agree with this. but it has to be equilateral. My ex was unfaithful, I had had open relationships in the past. I suggested we have an open relationship as a way of dealing with her actions. She was fine with this until she realized that it meant that I wanted to enjoy it as well. Long story short, cheating slut freaks out, treats my like crap and in great irony calls me the immoral one even though I was always honest and never cheated.

    Now my only regret is that I was too in love to see her crap from the beginning and kick her ass out before I wasted 8 years of my life with her.
