As illogical as it seems, this will scare USians into voting Bush/Cheney in this election. I think this is Karl Rove's October surprise and it will have a very distinct impact on the opinion polls across the nation. Unfortunately the impact will almost certainly benefit the Bushites.
Yeah, but only if you're a Democrat... if you happen to be in the Republican party then voting for the bill means you care about Keeping America Safe and if you vote against you're showing your fiscal responsibility to the nation.
International election observers noted several issues with the US election process this year. One of the criticisms in their report is electronic voting without any transparency or a paper trail.
One of their recommendations was also to use open source code software for the voting machines.

Exactly. Most Americans seem to forget that voting for Dubya implies giving power to sleaze like Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft and Rice. Now, it's funny how all those people faded into the background during the campaign and especially during RNC. It's a message in and of itself when Schwarzenegger is chosen to speak at RNC instead or Rumsfeld or Ashcroft. People's memories seem very short when it comes to public figurs.
The chief reason why Poland went to Iraq with the US is that they are scared of Russia and hope that one day when (not if) Russia invades again the Americans will be there to stop it. Of course it's very unlikely to happen as Poland hasn't a single drop of oil but Poles keep deluding themselves nonetheless.
Except that google sends you to java.sun.com which is just as bad as the original link. And that's what matters. most users will type java in google and follow the first link.
One of the most interesting developments in this election campaign that was completely "overlooked" by mainstream US media is the fact that for the first time in history, US presidential elections will be monitored by international observes.
How did America get to the point where the fear of rigged elections (normally something reserved for so called "rogue states") is so real that many feel the neat to bring in overseers from abroad? Is it really ture that you always become what you hate?
Well, YHOO's market cap is at 36B more or less. If you think that it's a fair price for YHOO then 36B for GOOG is probably right on the money (pun intended)
you've confused dynamic typing with weak typing. Python is weakly typed and java is strongly typed. Both languages have strong dynamic typing. Reflection in Java gives you virtually unlimited introspection capability and CGLib and Jassert make it a child's play to do self-modifying code in Java.
You're exactly the enterprise developer he's talking about. Enterprise developers don't do it because they love enterprise programming. You have to be really sick to love enterprise programming.
Nothing like starting your reply with a good ad-hominem attack, eh?
lot of people choose Java, but only a very small number for open source projects
Tell that to the Apache consortium. Most of their new projects are all java. The whole Jakarta, Geronimo all very prominent java efforts. Besides Freshmeat returns 2381 java projects and 956 python projects... hardly the ultimate in testing languages' popularity but it dispells your stupid assertion that only a small fraction of OSS projects are written in Java.
Changing topics: aspects. Aspects are stupid. They make sense in a language like Java that has no metaprogramming capabilities. They are absurd in other languages like Python or Lisp.
Aspects are not macros and macros cannot do everythin that aspects can. Go back and read more on aspects.
Finally, stop acting like an arrogrant asshole. It makes you look very infantile.
you just hired wrong people for the job. Just because Java offers JMS, EJB, Servlets, JSPs, Velocity, Rules engines, Jini, and hundreds of other technologies doesn't mean they all have to be used in every single project. Overdesign is a problem of bad developers and not the Java platform.
The Python integration within eclipse is nowhere near the level of java integration. I also don't get the sense that it is a project with the same amount of focus and dedication as say, AspectJ which is beginning to look just awesome!

This from a magazine that prides itself in being the in-flight magazine of Air Force One.
Of course, just like all other democrats you forgot Poland.

If "con" is opposite of "pro" what's the opposite of "progress"?

Yeah and imagine all the partisans handing out laxatives outside the voting stations...

The FBI reported that the most frequently swapped song on the network was a fairly unknown title "Let the eagle soar".
Why are we insisting on making everything cheaper instead of making it BETTER?

Of course Iraq used to have WMD... because the US sold it to Iraq and Rumsfeld still has the receipts to prove it.
Bullshit! Linus would've just copied the code into the kernel without ID knowing anything about it.
