And another issue, that Java deals with, is text direction. At the simplest level, this can just be left-to-right or right-to-left, but Java also handles mixing different languages and thus text directions. Think about the hassles of embedding r-t-l text in l-t-r text e.g. A Hebrew quote/name inside English text. Especially, consider text selection as you select from the English text into the Hebrew! Java's I18N package can handle this. There was a good discussion of this a couple of years back in Java Report. This article at IBM's DeveloperWorks looks to be similar to what I remember, and dicusses the Arabic lettering issues.
Well, most of the Myrioids are now at YottaYotta where they once again are doing distributed work, but on Storage Area Networks instead. Ignoring the obvious Beowolf cluster comment, maybe these SAN controllers could generate the heat you need while serving up porn or something?
I had similar problems with my Alienware machine. The full story is here. Short story -- 10 weeks to get the parts. Now they've finally got their ship together, and they're upgrading my system for free.
If you follow those sorts of listings regularly, you'll see that there was no particular change in this sort of activity. He (and others like him: Larry Ellison, Paul Allen, etc.) regularly cash in stock to fund other ventures, diversify, etc.
Trademarks apply to a specific usage of the word or mark. So as long as they are not in similar areas, they should not conflict. Usually it's based on confusion of the consumer.
I just tried doing it again on my NT 4.0 SP6 system and I can't see it. Hmmm. Version differences perhaps, or maybe you've done something smart like not having the Windows Script Hosting stuff installed.
Microsoft has an even better way hidden within this system. The.shs extension (ShellScrap) is executable as a.vbs is, and is never displayed, even if you turn off "hide extensions for known types". There's also an individual setting for each extension that you can set to always show extensions for this type of file, and that still won't make the.shs show up. Brilliant piece of work that. I believe that's how one of the early VBScript worms worked.
At the least, one would hope that they would have acknowledged the other open source solution that provides this: BSD (Open BSD for sure, I'm not positive about others). "Building Linux and OpenBSD Firewalls" by Wes Sonnenreich, Tom Yates is a good resource that explains all this.
As others have said, if the rootpack had a simple "rm -rf/" or similarly damaging command in it's script, it would be a virus
Actually, a virus is not distinguished from a worm by its destructive capability, but rather by its method of propogation. A virus is a bit of code that has to be attached to an existing executable program so that it can be run and thus do its work. A worm propogates itself without requiring a "host" executable.
The ananlog is to the biological world, where virii do not duplicate/reproduce except when they are in another cell.
At this point, I would like to point you all back to an earlier article here on/. about 'advocacy'. Very apros pos, I'd have to say.
Just something to keep in mind while you all exchange pleasantries about whether C++ or Java is the appropriate choice for the problem at hand. Notice that the language was a secondary concern to the original post, as they were really looking for a debugger with good multi-threading support.
Full Disclosure: I have spent the last couple of years programming in Java, but previously did C++ for about 7 years.

That link didn't work for me, but here's another article on the same topic, at Java Report magazine's site:

Ah, but he wasn't discussing what he described. He made that argument about those idiots, and still claimed that "Language Advocacy Is Bad", but I think that all he managed to prove was that "Idiots Are Bad".
But ultimately, in his conclusion, what the author said was:
I don't really hate advocacy. I just hate the way we do it most of the time. We do it in a dumb way.
So I think that was what he was going for.
You're right, advocacy can be good for introducing people to new things (prejudice and bias being what they are). I don't think this is incompatible with the article.

Or "in context" even. Drat.
Hey! Moderators, that was Funny, not Redundant. Usually it's a lame joke, but in contect, that's a keeper.

"Irregardless"? Another favourite. Are you sure you aren't my Dad?
Wrong. Potatoes and potatos are both acceptable. It depends only upon which dictionary you consult.
I imagine we want to keep it to English language dictionaries. Which one did you find 'potatos' in?
I can't connect to that site, but the news is on Akamai's main page.
