Are they trying to pack more megatons of destructive force into each warhead?
Nope, they're trying to create a massive War-Sim in which nation-heads could raise war for a real deal.
"I'll nuke your a$$ unless you inflat your yuan."
"I don't fear your but I don't want to mess up the houses and railroads I spent three months on. You can get 6 yuan for 1 and you must neutralize a warhead in reallife as part of the deal."
"too late butthead, it has been launched already.Frankly, I just want to see how it explodes"
and buy a lots of gifts for lucky draw. Nothing like the pleasure of lucky drawing.:)
My company will attach some donation forms of charities along with bonus, so that we can remember to help the needed. I'd recommend you attach these two forms:
You're arguing with your wife again. It seems she's missed her spending quota again this quarter. A proud patriot, you have no problem spending 85% and sometimes 90% of your income on consumer goods, yet she can't manage to spend even close to the 75% required by law. It's that foreign mentality, you suppose--that's what happens when you are educated overseas and without the benefit of a corporate sponsor. You have to remind her that if the Internal Consumer's Service (ICS) catches her, she'll be doing time in Philip Morris(TM) Prison like her uncle.
Oh well, hopefully a night at the town's AOL-Time-Warner-Clear-Channel-Blockbuster(TM) Authorized Media Distribution Center will smooth things over with her. That reminds you--you need to have your eye- and ear-implants inspected for this quarter again, otherwise you won't even be allowed in tonight.
You haven't attended church services for a while. Although your wife is a devout follower of God's Customers(TM) and shops in the Church Store at LEAST five tiems a quarter, you're not yet convinced that converting from Consumers For Jesus(TM) was that sound an investment.
Your son Rick has just graduated from the local McDonalds(TM) High School. You want him to go to Pepsi(TM) University like his sister, but he wants to go to Coke(TM) College. Not that it matters--the permits you get at either school are the same. Although he really wanted to attend Stanford(TM), his corporate sponsors rejected that proposal, based on what it might do to his credit rating.
Your youngest daughter just graduated Pepsi(TM) U. It was expensive, but she is all set now, having received a Creative Thought Permit and a Entrepreneurship License. On top of that she's accepted a job at Fortune 10 corporation. Of course almost everyone works for a Fortune 10 nowadays, there being only thirty-some corporations left. It's too bad she had to sign all those NDA's though--you'd really like to be allowed to know where she would be living and how to get in touch with her. Ahh well, it's the price you pay for our corporate security.
Your older daughter, after twenty quarters of employment, was finally permitted to tell you that she is working in middle-management at AT&T. Of course, every job in the United Corporations of America is middle-management. The cheaper--skilled--labor is all outsourced to Those Other Countries, whatever they are called. In ten more quarters, assuming her credit rating remains good and she has attained Shareholder status, she'll be allowed to talk face-to-face (no encrypted channel) with us again!
Apparently, her five year old daughter has been grounded again, this time for racking up a $6000 fine--singing "Happy Birthday(TM)" at a party without a Media Distribution License. She really needs to be taught a lesson--that as a patriotic Consumer of the UCA, she needs to respect the rights of Shareholders and property owners. What a dangerous thoughts she has! She thinks she should be allowed to say whatever she pleases, no matter what it does to someone else's portfolio! No one can get it through to her that terrorist ideas like that will land her in one of those "special" schools--and she'd be subjected to a lower quarterly limit on all her credit cards.
Fax from your wife--she'll be late tonight. Corporate HQ has re-instated fourteen-hour work days until the end of this quarter. It's too bad she's not allowed to quit her job--you could get her a pretty sweet management position any time in your department at Microsoft.
This is such a stupid move. If they want to claim that GPL is unenforceable, then SCO cannot enjoy the 'right to distribute' granted by GPL in their Linux products, effective IMMEDIATELY. That's to say, every GPL software authors can now request billions dollars for each copy of every GPL software distributed. KA-CHING!!!!!!
And since this is a self-proclaimed revocation of right on their side, thus a purely case of refusial of license agreement in the deal, i.e. no need to root-up the entire industry by applying this unique license-violation case to all other GPL users.
When I thought hiring monkeys as programmers is bad enough....lawyers...
First I'm not totally disagree with you so pls take it easy.:)
Been requested to make a maintainable, manageable solution. And yes, this is to say "make it for M$, with M$ tools as much as you can
I don't understand, building for MS platform doesn't necesarily mean you must do it with MS tools.
I actually happen to dislike C++, but on top of that, it doesn't suit my project, because the low-levelness makes it harder to program without errors (e.g. null pointers, memory leaking).
How about a language which is high-level enough to make debugging of said problem next to impossible? How many times do you've to use some external 'fixes', 'workaround' to deal with problems that can be solved by good programming practise, but some unknown problem that not even the vendor can figure out? Note I'm not picking on MS in this case.
So with.NET, M$ introduced a quite nice API and Java language (come on, where are the real differences) into Visual Studio, which at least saved my day; I had found an acceptable programming environment for within Windows..!
Agree. VS.NET is very nice but I think the arguement here is C#, right?:) It's true that C# on VS.NET save your days, it also limited you one development platform. That might not be an issue for you now, but in the future you'd get stuck in unforeseeable upgrade cycle which is out of your control but the vendor you'e chosen.
Since you asked. Java in.NET is not Java. At least it's no way to get J2EE compliant with it. When we talk about Java we really talk about J2EE now, no one really care if you can make nice Java front end now.:)
There's really no need for anybody to pick on C#, long as it's realized that it's just finally a nice programming environment for Windows, and nothing (well, not much) more. (BTW, it's not much different from NeXT (now Apple)'s use/ takeover of Objective C.)
Yeah, for Windows, and nothing else(don't get me started on Mono). Back to your orignal requirements: maintainable, manageable solution for an emergency system, I'd recommend Java. Ease of programming has little to do in mantainable and manageable, it just shorten programming time. Of course, it all depends on the skillset of your crews. You can have a better chance managing monkeys than to get a bunch of MCSE to do J2EE.:)

PHP Scales As Well As Java
·
· Score: 2, Informative
I'll try.
Performance-wise, J2EE decouples major components which would otherwise become bottleneck of overall performance. E.g. most popular architecture decouples frontend(e.g. load-balancer, apache), business logics(e.g. servlets, EJB-containers) and database(e.g. Oracle, Sybase) such that optimization could be done on individual components. Optimization can be ranged from adding CPU/RAM, disk stripping to clustering. Experience told us that this architecture can be very sucessful in improving performance and scalability.
I can't really disgree on the critism on the raw speed of Java, but as you may see J2EE successfully spreads the loading among entire framework, which lead to huge gain in overall performance.
I'm not going too deep into design and implementation issues here, as they might be off-topic this time. However, as you can see, design and implementation can be done seperately on each components as listed above.
Frankly, I'm not so sure if PHP has gone that far.
I've been talking to a senior financial trader early this year, he said SUN's stock price is sky-rocketed to a point that they have to produce at $0 cost and sells for ten years to make up for the hyped value. Which is, of course, almost impossible.
Until recently I do believe SUN has already stuck one foot into its doom. As I speak we've already ruled out Solaris in several enterprise projects in favour of Linux. The cost of ownership is one factor, and the full-range maintenance supports from IBM, HP and Oracle is indeed a killer.
It's true that(don't flame) Linux has much to catch up with Solaris in enterprise deployment, but the market demand for Linux will only cause Linux to catch up fast and thus SUN's products will soon lose their market competitiveness very soon.
Think how many starving children you could feed for $50 million... or how much cancer research you could fund.
All they could thinks how much profit margin they could get feeding starving children, and the return to investment funding cancer research.
I met these guys. They don't negotiate much. People knock their door every day with decent offers in exchange of investment money. If you could make a proposal showing that there's high profit margin in feeding staving children they'd give you money.
Someone will eventually answer when SCO knocks enough doors. I don't think SCO would short of bullets any time soon.
We should really keep watching whether there'd be strategic changes after that. No sane investor would encourage their investees to take on an impossible battle. My guess is that BayStar will suggest SCO to water-down their dispute with IBM and take on smaller enterprise like Redhat instead.
Wait a minute...let see, GDP 2002 is 6 trillions, while military spending ranges from $45 billion to $65 billion for 2002. Let's take the maximum spending we got.....*gasp* only 1.08%? It's even less than we argued over.:D
Estimates of actual spending vary from about 3.5% to 5% of GDP.
Thank you for sending this bit of information to me.
However, do you bother to actually read what you sent to people? In this article:
1989 Military exp./GDP(real total): 2.6 ...
1998 Military exp./GDP(real total): 1.9
Your figure is only up to 1998, while mind is 2002's. Anyway, I think my figure 1.6% is very close to the trend as listed in your article. Nevertheless, never has China in any given time in history exceed USA in military/GDP.
Near the end of the articule:
2. The resources available to the Chinese military have increased by about 75 percent since 1989 (see column 5 of table 7D.5).
Yes, but: 3. As a share of GDP, Chinese military expenditure has steadily declined
In conclusion:
It is unlikely that China's overall military expenditure will exceed 2.5 per cent of GDP for the foreseeable future.
May be I'm mistaken. You sent this to support my view.....hmmm, thanks.:)
(Btw, why do you Americans have to be in such a denial mood when people tell you your country spends a lot in military?)
AND... China spent this money even though large numbers of people in their own country struggle in abject poverty.
This is true. Sadly.
AND...China spends a larger percentage of their GDP on the military than the US. According to the US government docs I could find, the US spends 4% of their GDP on their military. China spends 68-80 billion a year, which, although less money than spent by the US, is a significantly larger percentage of their GDP than US spending is.
but it's really a pleasant surprise for a country's GDP below developed countries standard could send a man into space, way ahead the other Asian countries like India, whose heavily backed by US, and Japan, which has well-advanced technologies and economy, in this regard.
What's so good about yet another country throwing people into space? It shows that the largest country in Asia spends their focus and resources in the advancement of human's benevolence, rather than overwhelming military power, which already undergone huge cut in China in recent years.
It can be seen in India(offical) and Japan's(inofficial) announcement that they're pretty eating sour grape in all this. Think about the plus side! China spends effort on something other than militarily threating your nations. Look at your insane neighbour North Korea.
Here in Hong Kong we've Location-Based Tracking System. On average a person is surrounded by 6 base stations. The system is the calculate the approx. position of that person in these 6 base stations by the strength of signal the cell phone with these base stations. The person doesn't need to be involving in conversation to be tracked and the accuracy is around 10-50m in diameter.
Sounds simple enough, looks like easy to implement; however there's a lot of limitations in the system. First, lesser base-stations around him, the lesser the accuracy you'd get; second, it's totally useless when the person is travelling on the sea.
That can be good to track terrorists when they turn on their cell phone in a dense populate area, but I'm sure it can't catch Bin Ladin.:)

It's your business on which your life is depending. You can't be too safe, you know.
On current hardware we can support only 1200-1500 concurrent logins and scaling up requires a new app server (eg 1 processor + 1GB RAM) and a $20K software license for each additional 600-750 concurrent logged in users
I'm afraid your company must seriously consider other J2EE platform, rather than root up your existing architecture.
First of all, fuck SUN. I'm biased, of course, because I'm here to pro-Linux in this case. SUN's J2EE app server is almost the most expensive among their competitors, not to mention the incremental maintenance cost incurred by expensive SUN hardware. Nowaday big corps like IBM and HP offers enterprise support for J2EE on Linux platforms, and their support are M3(24/7) with at least 3 9's maintenance
Also, you don't pay per user for large scale web deployment, you pay per server license. Fuck SUN's sales multiple timesfor not reminding you of better license terms for your new deployment.
I remember, prior to Java & the like, supporting simple CGI websites with tens & hundreds of thousands of users off of cheap FreeBSD systems, and we didn't have to pay an outsourced partner to do it.
You're just going backward in this case. Existance of J2EE platform is to solve various problems with CGI. One of our deployment just switch from CGI to J2EE due to the former behaved unstable when handling high volume requests. Of course, I've been told of many success with CGI, but J2EE seems to fit in in this case.
Besides, I don't understand why you've scale-up problem with J2EE. Scalability is the major advantage of J2EE. In our most current project, we decouple RDBMS(Oracle), Web-Tier(Apache), App-server(9iAS) and EJB containers(OC4J) into 4 seperated Linux cluster pool and one share storage of SCSI raw disks. We could easily scale up our architecture on various requirements.

This is true. Sadly.

Your figure is quite wrong. According to People Daily. The military budget for 2002 is around 166.2 billion yuan, while their estimated GDP for 2002 is around 10.217 trillion yuan. Therefore China only spends around 1.62% GDP on military.
While US spent US$343.2 billion on military out of US$10.4 GDP, which is 3.3% GDP on military - more than a double whereas in China.

Also, you don't pay per user for large scale web deployment, you pay per server license. Fuck SUN's sales multiple timesfor not reminding you of better license terms for your new deployment.
I remember, prior to Java & the like, supporting simple CGI websites with tens & hundreds of thousands of users off of cheap FreeBSD systems, and we didn't have to pay an outsourced partner to do it.
You're just going backward in this case. Existance of J2EE platform is to solve various problems with CGI. One of our deployment just switch from CGI to J2EE due to the former behaved unstable when handling high volume requests. Of course, I've been told of many success with CGI, but J2EE seems to fit in in this case.
Besides, I don't understand why you've scale-up problem with J2EE. Scalability is the major advantage of J2EE. In our most current project, we decouple RDBMS(Oracle), Web-Tier(Apache), App-server(9iAS) and EJB containers(OC4J) into 4 seperated Linux cluster pool and one share storage of SCSI raw disks. We could easily scale up our architecture on various requirements.
