This is the second post I've read in this article's discussion where the author claims you need lambdas in Java because you can't inherit variables otherwise. Try using final and modifying the actual declaration scope (putting it in an object, not the stack) if you need to truly modify something by value.
Anonymous inner classes are a hacked on incomplete poor mans semi-closure that provides just enough to get you almost what you want, but not quite.

Boo-hoo, it is very hard to promote variables to final scope, or, if they need to be modified, as a variable in the enclosing object instance. You want complete elimination of type-checking of arguments? You think that's critical? Ludicrous.
How is Ruby not very functional? How much Ruby have you done? OO features and procedural features are optional. You can operate strictly on lambdas and local variables if you wish.
Language is more than just words and sentences. It is our underlying way of thought that allows for communication. This would probably be an enlightening lecture for you. Hell, it was for me, and I am a language geek: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csE-MsT_NN0&noredirect=1
Ignoring the fact that there's no such thing as "regular sunlight" due to variances in season/geography: LED lights can come in any of an enormous variety of spectra, be combined, or not even be a single wavelength at all and be an ultraviolet light with an LED UV emitter (white LEDs). What meaningless numbers and broad statements...
You mean because an inexperienced child is going to thoughtfully engineer a system to precise real-world specifications in order to bridge the gap between conceptualization/proof of concept and reality?
To be fair, "unlimited rights" does not have the same meaning as "unlimited exclusive rights." It is a shitty summary though, and as with any samzenpus article, I feel dirty by spending more than a few seconds dedicated to it.
You had problems developing BSD kernel code and not Linux? That's amazing. What kind of driver or system call did you work on? I've never heard of anyone saying the Linux kernel APIs are more coherent. Ever.
So what you're saying is that Social Security Numbers should not be treated as a confidential security token, right? Because you can already restrict arbitrary, unknown people from reading your friends list or anything else in your profile by setting the appropriate permissions, and you haven't really mentioned anything else.
Organic compost of plant matter? Just because, in the U.S.A., agriculture has a hard-on for pollution, chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides, does not mean that no alternative exists.
Windows' kernel architecture is quite modern... It's on par with FreeBSD/Linux/Solaris in most areas, and fine-grained capabilities and mandatory access control are not even deployed by default on those operating systems that have them. Features like those and sandboxing don't need a complete operating system replacement to implement.
While I'm pretty confident the Unix kernels and drivers in common use are less buggy than the Windows kernels and drivers in common use, you have to understand that legacy support means you have to slow down and EMULATE when you run apps designed for a different system.
I had an Epic 4G. The upgrades were slim to none, taking almost 8 months to get Froyo. I eventually found ACSyndicate who make great roms for the device, including a 4.0 rom that was very well done minus the ability to use 4G.
I had to dump the device last week in favor of an iPhone though. I just can't deal with the fragmentation in Android devices, the lack of software upgrades, the sketchy nature of custom roms and the horrible device support from companies like Samsung.
Samsung blew it so bad on this device I've personally skipped out on buying their other products, including TV and Blue-ray players. I've also convinced my friends and family to go with other manufacturers because of it. If Samsung thinks their actions have no effect on their other products lines, they are sadly mistaken.
Yet for every one of you, there are plenty of people who do not have issues with their Samsung equipment and recommend Samsung to others. So I think that if you think you truly have an impact on any of their product lines, you are sadly mistaken.

I'm sure there are also testers that think development is like this, a big inevitable slog. You are both wrong.
Definitely. "Oh noes, operating systems attempt to implement feature parity." Yawn.

Using what warrant? Standard crimes must be dealt with in the normal fashion.
Pretty sure "informative" is meant to be "in general."
Don't you think that in the event of a fire, it may have paid off to keep the system intact anyway?
Since when is that the problem with dead code being around in the first place?
Side-effects may include instant death.
I was actually referring to the kernel APIs within the last decade, not from wayyyyyy back in the '90s.

Yeah, companies sure never support FreeBSD.
Oh, wait...

My first thought reading the article was "If I were writing malware, my first goal would to be infect those files!"
Pretty sure that was one of the first thoughts of the designers of this feature, too, and that the design accounts for that.
Then they say, you can keep your files, which also may be infected with malware causing the problem in the first place.
I don't see the problem. You get reinfected in that case, you run the reset again. Repeat until you stop fucking up your computer.
Each user can install their own, complete copy into their home directory if the application is badly-designed like that.

Because people routinely use Java applications on their feature-phones, rather than phone-dialing and call-taking features? Really?
