I rooted my G1 for wifi tether, which I believe is still a root-only function, and to work on a little WEP hacking app.
A stock Android phone is still a ways from a real Linux computer, even on parts that have little if nothing to do with the actual cellular phone functions of the device.
Tethering is awesome, as many non-iPhone smartphone users have known for years.
I used to tether my Sprint Treo with PDANet, when I swore I'd never pay Comcast another red cent. My sister uses PDANet on her G1 to avoid signing up for an internet connection she doesn't use much, and I used my rooted G1 to look up geocaches on the road from my g/f's laptop. The rooting process is pretty painless now, so I'd imagine that it's just a matter of time before the telcos start clamping down with usage caps.
People will read a piece of code more times than they will write it, so it makes sense to optimize for readability. Besides, I end up autocompleting most type/method names in the IDE anyway.
Just look at the pics. Changing the name of the executable changed the results dramatically. The driver is apparently detecting when it's running a 3DMark (or some other specific apps) and switches to some other mode to boost its scores/FPS markings.
Java is still widely used for teaching, but it's turning into the 21st century Pascal: used for teaching but loathed for real work by people who have a choice.
If you're a devout WoW player, they'd rather let you spend time on that, being oblivious and happy, than risk you being pissed off that you can't play.
Cite? It's tough to get a good feel for these things. The hype around Glassfish has been huge, but I haven't seen developers flocking to actually use it. It's kinda moot anyway because most of the places I've worked at use Spring/Hibernate instead of EJB, and can get by with just a Servlet container.
2) IDEs can bring money to a company indirectly. IBM does more than just consult. They also offer a suite of Java technologies. Eclipse is just Websphere developer studio free edition. Eventually, IBM hopes that you;'ll move up the chain and buy their tools.
I think you've got it backwards there. WebSphere Dev Studio is just a repackaged version of Eclipse with add-ons to integrate with WebSphere AS and related stuff that you can buy from IBM. Granted, IBM started Eclipse, but Eclipse.org was spun off and has been largely separate for years. If nothing else, the fact that Eclipse has been somewhat splintered lately should be proof of a lack of central guidance.
3. I agree with what you said about MySQL, but IBM could still stand to make some money. After all, MySQL has always had paid support. Something that IBM likes to do.
Wow. Just...wow. All IBM gets out of the deal is the Java name. All the other assets are basically bogus, which the market has already figured out.
Glassfish is still pretty much a toy, as far as J2EE app servers go. If users want free, they go with JBoss. If they wanna pay money for scalability and features and support, they already go with IBM's WebSphere.
IDE's don't bring in money for consulting companies. Besides, Eclipse has been the standard for Java development for so long and by such a wide margin that it's barely even a debate except among industry wags. Also...Java IDE's don't compete with Visual Studio. Sheesh!
MySQL is great and all, but if someone's using it, they're probably doing so to *avoid* high consulting and licensing fees.

The lack of a Linux or Solaris release is a notable absence.
So if we have an absence of a lack, does that mean there is a Linux and/or Solaris release?:-P
And yes, I don't think I'm not being overly pedantic in noting the presence of an absence of a lack of internal bouyancy in the summary, since that's a term whose inapplicability wouldn't be not out of place in this sentence.
The lack of a release is also a notable absence.
Also, you misspelled "buoyancy".
Please don't think me pedantic. I was worried that your poor spelling would keep people from understanding whatever the hell it was that you were trying to say.
As computers get more intuitive and easier to use there will be less need for tech support. Until then, all users have is experience to guide them.
However, dumb and/or timid people *do* tend to shy away from computers in general, which only compounds the problem. Making fun of them sure can be fun though.
the spam will flow. It's the old "balloon dog" effect. Squeeze it in one place and it balloons in another. The ONLY way to attack this problem is to go after the advertisers who are willing to use spam as a medium to sell product.
I think we need to go after the clowns making the balloon animals!
Here in the USA, just about everyone gets to vote, even the people who have obviously been misled about the candidates. I'm sure that there were plenty of assholes who voted against Obama because they thought he was Muslim. The great thing about Democracy is that it tends to even out in the end. It doesn't always, but that's the idea.
The genius of Bill Cosby's speech was that it was given to the community that it was criticizing, by a member of that community. Obama's going to be leading the whole country soon. It's not his job to give advice to the people whose skin is the same shade as his.
Besides, he's probably got more to talk about with fellow members of the Harvard Law Review.

'Irregardless' is a double negative and is thusly illogical by construction
Thusly is not a word either. Thus is already an anderb, so adding the "ly" suffix to the end doesn't make sense.
People will read a piece of code more times than they will write it, so it makes sense to optimize for readability. Besides, I end up autocompleting most type/method names in the IDE anyway.
And the Internet connection required to make any of that less than worthless come from where exactly?
My neighbor's WEP-protected access point.
There's a lot of speculation that T-Mobile G1 owners might not get the update, which would suck.
Just look at the pics. Changing the name of the executable changed the results dramatically. The driver is apparently detecting when it's running a 3DMark (or some other specific apps) and switches to some other mode to boost its scores/FPS markings.

No WoW has ever or will ever foment a revolution.

Not to be contentious, but I'm curious...
1) Glassfish is now more popular than JBoss.
Cite? It's tough to get a good feel for these things. The hype around Glassfish has been huge, but I haven't seen developers flocking to actually use it.

I'm not sure that the younger generation of developers is going to stick with a local copy of emacs.
I'm pretty sure the younger generation won't know how to spell emacs.
That beats my idea of a data center in a brown paper sack.

A slightly modified design could incorporate a running assist for a soldier to quickly accelerate to 20mph while running for a sustained distance.
