Why would they? Sun Java compiler (javac) is the standard compiler but there are others. Sun doesn't make money on javac because is freely downloadable. You can still use javac with Tomcat 5.5 if you want. There are yet others Java compilers around. Is just that Sun doesn't allow others to redistribute JSDK. Tomcat guys decided to include just another compiler to save the hasle, which incidentally may have some enhancements over plain javac.
It seems a little risky upgrade, one have to go with the possible bugs in a new Tomcat version as well as a rather heavy upgrade on Java versión with its own bugs.
Yeah, he just designed the first comercially successful mouse in history and the fool couldn't foretell that people would want another button but are basically the same in every other aspect that those first. What a dick. BTW, what successful design did you popularized?
the more you know to develop your own syntax within your C is the better; to build your own Abstraction Layer....Unix was not supposted to be an Operating System but an actual behavioral API for how code may interact with foreign code upon differing architectures.
Use Java Language (cleaner syntax than C), with the Java Virtual Machine (abstraction layer) and the Java libraries (API that works on different architectures) and problem solved.
If the biological analisis where not very invasive it would put off the need for the psicologic tests on which the plot is based. The idea behind the book was to question what is human and empaty. The movie is based on the book but let it go the empathy concept. If you take the test for empathy off the book would make no sense. The movie would become something like The Thing. You should exercise a little your Suspension of Disbelieve power;-)
Since you don't have the emotional stability required for Jedis you would go berserk, kill all other Jedis and turn to the Dark Side. Oh, and your son will be an ungrateful child that will go for your work position but at the last minute will kill your boss.
In a couple of weeks the radioactive rain would kill you, give you cancer or at least make you sterile if you don't use lead underpants. And yes, it's on the book. That's why people is leaving the planet but in the movie they don't give the reason.
I wonder if you would EVER find any story that could be called SF by you. In fact as soon as a laser pistol appears in scene you would need to disqualify it by your definition of SF.
Do you know that both are based on the written works of Philip K. Dick? Of course Minority Report just demolished the short story on which is based. Blade Runner just cut the most important concept of the book. I just couldn't dare to watch Impostor to see what they have done to it. All in all Blade Runner is a better movie. Minority Report is a show of special effects that don't help the plot and a parade for Tom "one face for all moods" Cruise.
The answer is really very very easy: it doesn't matter. PKD wasn't trying to make a plausible explanation. Just one that supports the plot. Only Hard Sci-Fi fans care about such things. Even so... in the book says -if I remember it right- that only a biopsy of the bone marrow would show the difference. Not something you do in a hurry.
Bonus: 1. Androids may or not dream but their lack of empaty for living creatures would negate the difference between a live sheep or an electric one to them. That's why the test works. 2. Don't dream, they are just machines.
the definition of science fiction basically says "set in space"
That's not a good definition. I'll quote a bit of Wikipeadia on science fiction:
"Science fiction is a form of fiction which deals principally with the impact of imagined science and/or technology upon society or individuals.... The term is more generally used to refer to any literary fantasy that includes a scientific factor as an essential orienting component, and even more generally used to refer to any fantasy at all. Such literature may consist of a careful and informed extrapolation of scientific facts and principles, or it may range into far-fetched areas flatly contradictory of such facts and principles. In either case, plausibility based on science is a requisite, so that such precursors of the genre as Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's Gothic novel Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus (1818) and Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) are plainly science fiction, whereas Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), based purely on the supernatural, is not. Sometimes utopic and dystopic literature is also regarded as science fiction, which is accurate insofar as sociology also is a science."
What about this other case? "In 1985, a DEA agent in Mexico was captured and tortured to death by members of a drug cartel. Subsequently, U.S. agents with the help of Mexican nationals "snatched" Dr. Alvarez-Machain in Mexico and delivered him to the United States for trial as a participant in the torture and murder."
Aoba: No it's taken over Melchior and it's hacking into Balthasar! Hyuga: Fast! Too fast! Aoba: The calculation speed is incredible! Ritsuko: Change the login mode! Change synchronisation code, to every fifteen seconds! Aoba: Roger. Hyuga: Yes ma'am. Fuyutsuki: How much time did we buy? Aoba: At least two hours, I think.
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)) Verbose yes, but flexible and clear. You can make your own filter stream class easily and chain in the same way. I did for encription.
Probably this is because I use the wrong kind Then keep to C. The best tool...
public static void main(String argv[]) is worst than int main(int argc, char *argv[])? I don't think so.
Certainly not its good performance or integration I have seen the first but not able to produce. Advanced Swing hacking is still difficult. And for the second, Swing wasn't made for that, it was made for portability.
Anything that is popular Read popular in enterprise. Hackers just hate that.
Slashdot Mirror
They seem to forgot to update the bug fixes link in the release notes. Usually there's detailed information, even in the development snapshots.

According to sourceforge the Java versión is "mature " (more than stable) and NHiberte is pre-alpha.

I left out Total Recall because is such marginaly based on the PKD short story.
May real life laser pistols could exist, but all that has appeared in movies didn't behave like any laser known to man.

And how do you stop them from intersecting?
If I would be a movie, I would be offended of being compared with ID4.
Also don't forget how unfair was that the Psychlos were blown out by such an inferior race. Hate unhappy endings like that.
The book 2001 of Arthur Clarke is based in his own short story The Sentinel.
I would sugest don't wait for his answer and just kill him... if you agree.
We couldn't begin to comprehend what they were like or how their technology worked.
Talk for you, I'm pretty sure they used... hum... a Zeta... er... ray...ar radiation, yes that's it.

There's no difference because nobody can foretell which fantasy of today may become a science tomorrow. Except for the precogs, of course.
