You assumed religions all have creation myths, this is not the case. There is no creation myth in buddhism. Even taken literally Buddhism is not falsifiable, unlike all other major world religions (and a huge majority of minor ones).
MS very often crushes companies for no good reason, remember the anti-trust case? Convicted in a federal court for doing it should sort of tip you off that they do it. Apple however has bought out people several times, with the prime example being iTunes.
Look around for example, you see a pretty flat earth. Science is about figuring out what we know and what we just think we know. Proving what "everyone knows" is just as important, because often it brings up some really nasty surprises, like Einteinian physics.
Look, the reason you vote for culturally similar countries, is that you share taste in music with them. Obviously these former russian nations actually think they're sending something good. I for one think it's crap and I think the contributions from my neighboring countries are superior. Not because I somehow "like" these people, the music is just closer to my preferred style. There are some exceptions though, like the year Turkey won for example.
The court case clearly showed that DeCSS was legal. In fact, in the new draconian DMCA-like copyright law soon to be introduced in Sweden as a result of a EU directive it's STILL legal. Why? Because CSS is a region-protection format, NOT a copyright protection format. It's a tool to prevent direct importing of DVD movies, and thus is a violation of basic principles of free trade.
A standardized voting system with a paper trail, preferrably one little piece of paper for every single vote, is essential. Also not having party functionaries of the party that won last time running the counting is a good idea, as is to smooth out the whole registration mess. If you are registered with the IRS you should get a voting card (just a piece of paper, no fancy stuff that can be remagnitized or otherwise tampered with) and that will give you the right to put a piece of paper in a box. The more you complicate the procedure the easier it is to dupe.
As per usual groklaw is full of shit and spreading FUD. Just look at their "SCO guy talks filth"-story. The guy didn't even say "hell". There was NO swear words AT ALL. Groklaw has overshot objectivity and ended up in the normal fanatical camp where all drooling morons dwell.
The communicators in star trek go over subspace and can carry instantanious signals over huge distances, right through planets and stars. A mobile phone has a range of something like a kilometer and is easily blocked by something as trivial as a mountain.
So what we've got here is something that would create massive tidal waves and wipe out NY if it was released _all at once_. The only way to make sure this doesn't happens is to make sure it happens in small pieces. So I say drop it into the ocean in as big pieces as can possibly be done without any huge risk and as often as possible. Starting 50 years ago preferrably.
The real problem is that RSS is a fileformat, not a protocol. This means that if the client wants "all entries since X" it'll get "the last Y" which is might not include everything it wants or might be way too much. RSS and ATOM needs to be complemented by a protocol. This protocol could very well be based on RSS or ATOM but includes the most trivial feature of specifying what it wants.
There are hundreds of more or less stable languages for the JVM already..NET doesn't have a tenth of the variation in lanugages despite all the hype about the "common language" runtime. Now, Groovy is a bad idea because multiple languages is a bad idea. You don't want millions of bits and pieces of the code written in different languages, it just becomes totally unmanageable. Groovy to me looks like some persons poor attempt at making himself look cool by submitting it as a JSR, I hope this crap gets voted down, but with utter crap like JSF going through there doesn't seem to be much hope.
Last time I heard something like this on Slashdot was when discussing the new "DMCA-like" copyright laws in Sweden. There was much screaming and armwaving about how horrible that is, but of course, no one bothered reading it. You'll have to excuse me if I don't believe a word of this article, considering the past track record of slashdot.
I strongly recommend you look at IntelliJ's IDEA editor for java. It will do the case fix if you make a mistake.

PTS (the department responsible for this law) has a website at www.pts.se and they comply with this law and are using ASP. The reason for this law is simple: organizations are trampling all over peoples privacy rights because it's too damn easy to do so. The swedish law is designed to put the legal advantage at the side of the common man again.
Btw, I might add that I know one of the major lawyers responsible for this law.
The equations that describe matter and anti-matter have identical solutions for the case of photons, meaning that anti-photons and photons are the exact same thing. This is logical since if they were not then what would photons and anti-photons react to create?
I have only heard bad things about struts in all the years of being a regular ops of #java. The way to go is webwork, available from www.opensymphony.com. It's small, it's intuitive, it's FLEXIBLE (very much unlike struts) and it's just plain good. Webwork supports several view technologies too, JSP, Velocity and VoiceML in the official distribution, although basic Swing support is available too. Writing support for your own favourite templating library could be done in a matter of hours.
...is that Brin does not understand, and does not care to learn to understand, Buddhism. He thinks loving someone and attaching to someone is the same thing. This is the lie Buddha saw so clearly that he created one of the biggest philosophical movements in history. Brin should do some religous studying.
I can safely say that you should stay clear of Tomcat and go with a product that is usable in a production environment. The experienced staff of #java recommends resin (www.caucho.com) or orion (www.orionserver.com). For more help, come to #java.

What is it with this obsession with putting "zen" on everything? When do we get Catholic Linux? Sunni Linux? Bahai Linux?
fastutil is what Jakarta Commons Collection should've been: an actually competent implementation of truly type safe containers.
MG4J from the same place is pretty interesting too.

The article is about HOW to finish a game, not WHY.

The bile you linked is just a reminder so no one forgets that it indeed still sucks.

IDEA does exactly what I suggested it did: correct as you type. Maybe you have this turned off?

I am glad to pay my tax, because I live in the EU, more specifically Sweden, and here the tax is used for reasonable stuff, unlike the US.
