The problem is that if they don't plan then we'll just have a comission looking into why they don't plan it. These are emergency plans.
As the article states, elections have been postponed in the past due to terrorist attacks. It's just never done at the federal level because there are no agencies that can do such a thing.
We're talking about laws that'd have to be passed and such.
Wal-Mart has been running with 13-digit codes for almost forever now. Amazon does likewise.
To the best of my knowledge, I don't know anyone that works with strictly 12-digit codes on any mass level. Perhaps it's just the mom&pop shops with their possibly custom software that runs with 12-digits only.
My father works for a non-profit organization. They don't need too many MBA's. They do need PhD's. He's got one. He makes $150k (a little shy of that actually) with is PhD.
The trick with the PhD is finding companies that can fully use your PhD instead of companies that simply see PhD as better than a Master.
This could be very handy for medical purposes. In normal uses, you can do whatever you want. But sensors inside the wearable can pick up that you're having a heart attack for example and provide the appropriate display on the wearable, eg. "I'm having a heart attack, call for help" etc.
If you suffer a grand mal for example, it could give life saving instructions to people around on how to assist you in such a scenario.
vFolders isn't a linux thing. It's an XEmacs VMail thing. It was a concept popularized with Linux via the Evolution mail client which borrowed heavily from the earlier work of VMail and it's approaches.
Fair use is never mentioned in the Constitution (not even mentioned in any copyright law until 1976). Rather, it originated in the courts during the nineteenth century as a means by which producers of intellectual property could make limited use of the work of others (and allow somewhat freer use for nonprofit educational purposes).
Online bill pay also doesn't tell you where your assets are.
Stock market tanking? That's bad right. What percentage of your finances is in stock? 5%? 10% 50%? Online bill pay doesn't tell you any of this. At best, all it can do is tell you what your bank balance is.
-When I retrieve an Object from a Container it is a java.lang.Object instead of the type I stored which totally negates the advantages of static typing
I't s retrieved as java.lang.Object but that's just typing (is-a relationship). The object still retains its original typing information; hint: cast it.
That's factually incorrect. The FreeBSD group is a Sun licensee (not big bucks). They simply lack people to work on the beast. I'll give you a hint. If you actually looked at the FreeBSD page I linked to you'd realize they have a whopping *1* person working on it.
Java 1.3.1 is pretty solid on FreeBSD.
As for compiling Java, there's a language spec out there. I've taken code and compiled with IBM, Sun, and MS compilers and it went just peachy. All the code I wrote since '97 compiles clean on IBM, Sun, and MS compilers. And amazingly they all work the exact same way on the different platforms.
Bottom line: Licensing the JVM code doesn't cost you big bucks (see also, FreeBSD). Using different vendors doesn't require you to do anything fancy with Java source code or run time environments (see also, Apache Org.)
The TCK is not available to licensees and there is not a cost to developing JVM's. Case in point, Kaffe is a clean room JVM implementation. They pay nothing to do development. They can't call it Java until they pass TCK but even they agree they lack key features of a fully implemented virtual machine.
Do your research. Gosling is a crreator of Oak. It's true that Sun bought out the company that built Oak but Gosling was the visionary behind the entire concept.
Organizations building web applications will pick a technology (Java, PHP, Perl, etc.) and then the OS to support it. No one in their right mind picks the OS then the web technology. That's just nuts.
Wal-Mart for example went with Java and Linux for their website in their early history. It's on Java and Solaris x86 today. Now what is it about Solaris x86 that could convince a cost-conscious organization like Wal-Mart to make the switch?
With Java development, the OS is completely marginalized. The question is which OS is the operation group in the organizations in question willing to support.
If you actually read the article you'd know that there are $500 rewards for turning in people with camcorders. Now unless someone is overlooking the $500, this would make sense. But there's a good incentive for someone making shitty wage to rat out the camcorder monkeys.
Have you seen the demo for OS X Tiger? It has a few concepts from Looking Glass. Things like angled panels with reflection (new iChat u+3 interface) and configuration/preference panels on the "back" of windows (Widgets).
Concepts that seems useless from Looking Glass are making their way to real products with very innovative approaches.
3D is not strictly limited to desktop applications or games. It's very useful in biological research for example. Some of the people working on that sort of thing do full 3D rendering of very complex molecules and interaction of molecules.
Massive rendering of said molecules from huge chunks of data can be done on very big iron boxes.
Heck, movies could be rendered. You don't think desktop boxes render the frames for Pixar do you?
Server side java applications using 3D libraries. That's where the good stuff will eventually end up like all the other Java stuff.
This is entirely off-topic. Maybe it's on topic. I don't know. Maybe I'm just karma whoring.
A few years ago I was trapsing across the country for kicks. I stopped by a truck stop in the middle of Wyoming to fill up on fuel for the vehicle and fuel for me. I chatted up with a trucker while we waited for our orders.
This guy was hauling ass from Florida to Montana and he only had days left. His destination was getting back home. His daughter was graduating from high school. He didn't feel like he was going to make the ceremony, but he was trying. I don't know if he ever made it.
But really this effort isn't going to do anything. Truckers live their life away from their family and if the gentleman I had lunch with that day is any indication, their goal is to drop off the payload and get home to their family. The stuff in the middle might seem cool to the rest of us here. Our lives aren't 90% away from home missing our kids childhood. Maybe our angle is all wrong on this.
Thunderbird can only do simple string searches. The more complicated ones involving word stemming is still out of its reach.
The real success of Gmail

The success of Gmail is not the amount of space. That's called a gimmick. The success of Gmail is its searchability.
In the long run, having a gig of mail is pointless if you can't find what you're looking for. Assume you can have all the space in the world and you didn't delete a single email. How will you find the email sent sometime ago that you can't remember from a girl you can't remember who conversed with you on craigslist but you did remember her fantasy about being your naughty bukkake star?
While that doesn't necessarily say Java is faster than C++, neither does it say that C++ is faster than Java but this algorithm is faster than the other one.

It's aboot time people recognized this. Ootsourcing is better done in Canada. At least you can understand what people are talking aboot.

vFolders isn't a linux thing. It's an XEmacs VMail thing. It was a concept popularized with Linux via the Evolution mail client which borrowed heavily from the earlier work of VMail and it's approaches.
And if you knew your history, Evolution didn't originate vfolders. vfolders came out of VMail application that runs in XEMacs.
A lot of people have been using the concept of search query defined foldering for a very long time now.

Java 1.5 addresses this issue.

+5 insightful to parent if I had the mod points.
People who lump C and C++ together have a shallow idea of how those languages work.

Future? How about present?
Puzzle Pirates is a Java game title. It's available now. Apparently it's fun. I tried it. It wasn't my cup of tea but I suck with puzzle games.
You're thinking inside the box.

You can't! Not without search.

The current java compiler for java from Sun is written in Java. It's always been written in Java.
