When Oracle buys a company, they keep that company's staff to keep on working on whatever product they acquire. They dont shove that down the hall to whatever commando team. Based on personal observations of 4 companies that were absorbed and whose location merged in my area.
Also, as far as Java is concerned, Oracle has the best interest in keeping Java alive and well, as well as further push it. It's got a sizeable investment in Java for server-side stuff and even some client-side applications.
And from my perspective, all I can say is that more is to come.
Due in part to Sleep Apnea, I never slept more than 5 hours. Since I got that fixed (some 10 years ago), I haven't slept any longer. For a good 20 years now I've not done more than 5 hours.
Screw genetics. A good dose of chocking every night will fix ya.

Does this mean that the lensing effect alters what we can observe from the universe?
How about what we think of the size and distribution of this universe? Or it's "expansion speed"? Could those be somewhat distorted due to this effect and the fact that the solar system itself moves at great speed?
Of course, relative speed from the Shuttle to Hubbles is tiny.
But to match their relative speed from the ground is still pretty hard. Getting the shuttle from zero MPH to 17,000+MPH within inches of the Hubble so that their own relative speed nears zero for a dock is by all means, pretty neat stuff.
For as long as I can remember, Apple has been designing and outsourcing their own chips. Be it in the form of custom ROMs or VLSIs wich Apple is a big user of.
Sort of a weird line coming from my boss whose also on Apple's board of directors.
What I think he meant was to emphasize that while Apple uses Intel and makes it's software (like Oracle), they also design their own chips (more so where the AIM alliance's desktop grade PPC was viable).
Marketing wise, I'm not so sure it's a good idea. Even though it's labeled as "not for everybody", this same group will install it and will have a whole year to complain and destroy any credibility this thing could have had.
I think it's a silly and quite risky move on MS' part.
Many PeopleSoft employees moved into our Montreal office.
As someone whose been through an Oracle acquisition, I can say that Oracle actually handles that nicely. It's a bit of a culture clash, coming from a small vertical market company, but they dont savagely trash acquisition content.
They do get rid of non-essential personnel but they give you a chance to move on to current products, and they not only support acquired products for many years, they also keep staff around to make sure these products aren't just backed by paperwork and a web page.
I believe the whole point refers to the fact that the offering of movies and TV shows on iTunes is really abysmal.
The selection is next to nothing and as far as TV shows are concerned, they only appear once the season is over. If at all.
Compare that to MiniNova where you can generally find an episode the night it actually aired.
I only bought one movie off iTunes, mostly to try out the work flow of the buying experience. Paid 9$ for it, and wouldn't have spent a dime over that because I didn't get an HD format, no extras, no locales (my kids dont watch TV/Movies in english yet) so the whole exercise is pretty crappy compared to buying a DVD.
In the mean time, I refuse to buy new Sony releases in their new combo DVD/BlueRay boxes. I refuse to pay for a format I dont intend to use.
For all the tubes out there, you could have done it with QuickTime, AVI or any other real video format that's not riddled with single-threaded-nes, non-hardware-accelerated-nes, bug-riddened crap.

Oracle has put a great deal of effort into optimizing their server and net application platforms to Solaris.
While Oracle still maintains their "Unbreakable Linux" distro, I wouldn't be surprised should they keep and push Solaris in one way or another.
Mind you, it's totally not dept. So who knows what they'll do.
Disclaimer: I work for Oracle.

It's not quite as Larry put it in a corporate email he sent on the subject.

So, a half black hole is a grey pothole?
Or pedophilia.
I RTFA eyes closed it seems.

I'd like to see that in a vacuum.
Crickey! Criminal or not, I'd accept a one-way trip any time.

There ought to be a law against patent trolling
They can't use it. It's patented.
You obviously are living in the 90s.
Some of us appreciate cross-dissolved paragraphs in emails.
You make it sound as if it was simple.

And for that, I go Oooh.

Actually you have more chance to survice a motorcycle crash than being rolled up in a tin can.
That aside, security standards aren't the same around the world and there are far less chance fo these tin cars to smash against a big SUV in india.
As for the apartments, they beat the slums by a long shot.
right at the Time Travel part.
Coupled with the previews, It just smells lame.
Let me guess. They blew up the ship at the end.

Flash is as proprietary as SilverLight.
Dont get me wrong. I hate Flash and for one am glad my iPhone is not plagued by flash content.
But besides SL being unproven, is no more mediocre or evil than Flash.
I sleep better at night if I have a double expresso about an hour before going to bed.
Makes me sleep faster. I dream faster too.
