Why is it necessary to have photons pass through you? Wouldn't be enough that the photons "behind you" (releatively speaking) are recreated in "front of you". That way you could still see but be invisible to everyone else.
Of course it can. A program that takes other programs as input can of course take itself as an input. In fact most compilers are compiled using themselves, the only requirement for that is that the first version has to be compiled by another compiler or written in assembler.
Yes I agree if all you want to do is read email then Outlook is probably simpler since that is what it was designed for exclusively. But as you said it was still possible for you to add that feature into to the mail template, I seriously doubt that you could do that in Outlook at all, it just shows how flexible notes is.
Unfortunately it seems that since IBM bought Lotus it has been trying to kill of notes (IMHO) and doesn't fix obvious usability issues with the mail application and stops any killer features from being implemented, like JSP, Java UI classes, Servlets, XML parsing, Web Services, DHTML views etc.
It allows rapid development of groupware applications. Notes is basically a complete platform for developing and running groupware applications. Comparing it to Outlook is just plain silly since Outlook is just mail/calendar application, in notes the mail/calendar is just one of the applications that comes with notes and there is nothing stopping you from modifying or creating your own mail application and using that instead if you don't like the default mail from Lotus. Modifying and extending the applications is easy since they have the source open, try doing that in Outlook.
The security access in notes was created from the ground up, so it is very powerful, you can have very flexible access control down to the field level.
Comparing Outlook to Notes is like comparing a bicycle to a Boeing 747, sure you can use both to get across the country, but using the plane is much much easier:)
Ok so that means all the sites that are being built now are using Firefox broken standards. Which means when Firefox finally (ever?) passes Acid2 no one can use Acid2 features because sites have to be backwards compatible with older Firefox browsers.
This is Internet Explorer broken standards all over again.
or take a regular XBox add mod chip replace the GPU fan with a heatsink and replace the case fan with a silent one add XBox Media Center application and you have the perfect media center, it even plays games too:)

Lotus Notes has been available since 1989, but of course that is IBM.

Yes and No, I would think that they would have produced maybe 10 copies of each "skin" for the terminator, and then deploy them at the same time in different cities. That way you could keep the cost down:) but still be able to surprise the humans.
So the second Terminator was just a left-over copy in the factory.
I was a huge lego fan when I was younger and once I built a lego gun that could shoot small legos (1x2) about 20 meters or so. I used a mix of normal legos, technics and rubbers bands. It had a firing pin that had to be pulled back to arm the gun, and was held in place by a trigger mechanics, it also had a magazine with about 20 "bullets" that would automatically go into the firing position when the pin was pulled. The real secret of the gun where the 2 rubber bands that I used, which I got from a Marine Engineer, aparantly these were used somewhere in the engine, and where extremely durable and tight. It was so powerful that I had to glue it together so it wouldn't break apart when I fired.
I used to terrorize my brother with this gun, getting shot at close range stung like hell:)
I finally disasembled the gun, after the gun jammed and the firing pin broke off and hit me in the head, I had a red mark on my forehead for a few weeks:)
- No multiple inheritance. None. Which means you either klidge your design, or use aggregation. Neither of which is pretty in a case where multiple inheritance would work best.
Removing MI is actually a good thing in a programming language, for example
- If the same type appears as an ancestor more than once, should all or some of its data components be duplicated, or shared? If any are duplicated, how are they referenced unambiguously?
- If the same-named (including same parameter/result profile) operation is inherited along two paths, how is the ambiguity resolved? Can you override each with different code? How do you refer to them later?
- Memory management. If you have a larger application, with complex processing, the memory manager can stall your application for hundreds of milliseconds during the full sweep garbage collection. They still have not solved this satisfactorilly. If your application has tight time contraints, this can be a severe problem.
I have never experienced any significant stall from the GC, unless of course you are trying to create a realtime app in java, in that case you are using the wrong tool for the job.
- The finalize method of dervied classes must explicitly call the finalize method of the base class. Why in the hell did they do this?
I would think so that you could override it if you wanted.
I remember when some programmers used to talk about how C++ was slow and the only way to program was in assembler, now everybody talks about C++ being fast and java slow. As we get faster processors the speed difference becomes insignificant.
They have been talking about how the robot will
surpass us and be smarter then us for the last 50 years, and so far, these robots don't even have the intelligence of a small animal. I predict that maybe after 500 to 2000 years we will have robots that may have the intellect of a small animal. I mean it has taken us 50 years to create barely functional computers.
Wait a minute they are using cloning. I thought there is a problem with cloning in that way that the cloned animal cells have the same age as the real one when it is born, so for example Dolly the cloned sheep, will have much shorter lifespan than the real sheep. Anybody care to confirm or correct this?

Some of the busses in Reykjavik are hydrogen powered, I believe this station is for them. I don't think any citizen here owns a hydrogen car yet.
Yes and what about the copy/paste bug? That bug has been there forever.

Try spurl.net it is great. I have moved all my bookmarks to it.
There is also zniff which searches in the bookmarks in spurl.net
