Premise #1 relies on a bank that is better at security than you are a target. Since these outfits are 0% legislated at this point, I wouldn't put credence on their assurance that your money is safe there. Remeber, if one bank gets ripped off and stolen, there is literally nothing that they can do to get your money back. Hope you're enjoying the ride.
Who said anything about client-side? Nod.js is server side JS, which IMHO is pretty dumb unless you're doing it for user front facing DSL's (which its awesome for).
Torchlight 2 had dreadfully broken multi-player. I tried with 3 friends several times to much comical and pathetic consequences. They talk about sync in this game, TL2 was Always out of sync (even game hosts were out of sync!)
I don't see white items or even blues at all unless I hit ALT, so maybe you should check the options... it may also affected based on the level you're at.
Fair for most points, but what if you were able to do polarized passive lens 3D on home screens (like they do in theatres). Would that be enough to convince you of watching 3D movies at home? I'm not big in 3D, but there are some movies where is was slightly more immersive than traditional watching, and probably worth the effort if the extra cost was mostly small.
I had enough problems sending 2460x1440 through DVI that I don't have much faith that any old HDMI output implementation will work fine. Outside that, the super high res screens are only relevant on static images anyways. You may be able to see the crisp deliciousness of sill images, but once things start moving, your ability to distinctly identify the details significantly decreases. The human eye can only absorb so much at one time. I think I'd prefer the visuals to look more like natural lighting (like adapting to the area in which it was presented) as a big potential for new displays in the future.
Yup, and houses are precious too! You can't make more land! Oh, I better jump onto the bubble as it crests! I can see all the way to... ugh don't look down, just don't look down.... Oh no, I just looked down. The difference is houses can have SOME value to you personally even when its externally useless, and BitCoins are literally bits on your computer.
Sure, which means getting rid of all income tax, capital gains, any form of 'service' as in no government, so buy a lot of guns, because the robber barons that were politely robbing you blind privately will be shooting you in your face for all those gold coins you have packed under your matress.
Sorry, not all trend follwers are self loathing hipsters with a complex. Some people like something because its hip/cool/cred/cache. Nobody on earth buys a Ferrari and says 'well, the engine performance is just makes the money relevant'. Not they buy Ferrari's because they're Ferrari's. There's dozens of cars that are better suited for racing / etc.. but there is only one reason to own one.
I keep hearing about this breach and that breach, but what I'd love to see are some seriously ambitious groups of skilled security engineers standing up to help encourage good security practices that are widely recognized and standardized. The networked computing eco-system is so intertwined and desperate that how can any Jack or Jill admin be expected to have a fair set of skills in their toolbox to tackle such a hurdle? To expect any or ALL admins to have enough competence to just know the depth and complexity of a highly enabled enterprise is very unlikely.
For a possible first step, lets consider blocking broadcasts by default. All computers fall into 255.255.255.254 and rely on tight enforcement of shared communication as a reasonable start. A second may be for all communications channels to be flagged with security credentials of the communications user (or machines), or anonymous for completely un'authorized' communications and rely on block by default as a sane start. Allow 'users' to reach out to unsecured locations if you like, but make sure that their connection to secured resources are a lot harder to reach (and fully audited when performed)
Anyways, this is a huge problem which is at least in part to why this happens over and over again. I could say X, and 100 experts will give me 101 answers to why its the most stupid solution in the world, so.... enjoy!
"the braindead way of keeping old version of the jdk and jre around."
I don't know why it bothers, but it certainly isn't required. Usually the only time that happens is in major rev's of the architecture, and to be fair.NET and other major lib changes do the same thing.
Oracle was in part responsible when they required Java 1.1 a decade after it was dead when you installed OracleDB locally.
" Every time you boot a java applications it takes a long time for it to get started relative to a C++ applications." And everyone conveniently forgets that glibc / libc++ are almost guaranteed to already be loaded into ram.. Oh well =) But yes, Java apps are slower to start up, but a well cached java app doesn't actually start -that- slowly, its just that it almost always starts dead cold.
I agree that Rails / Python are definitely the more small scale / personal project side projects type solutions out there. Yes they can scale, but I'd argue that they're not good at it.
Java SUCKS for small scale. EE containers are heavy and require a good set of knowledge to even take crack at a reasonable site, but once that painful layer has been passed, adding more and more to the service becomes as trivial as the business domain requires. The extra leveraging from well architected services and API's makes working on larger scale Java systems a dream in comparison to others (Currently working on a Java Web/Services project single deplyment EAR that's over 3 million source lines BEFORE all the libraries and server container features that we're also leveraging).
I'd also argue that outside of hosting, you can easily get Java based web service tools/servers/etc.. for 0 dollars. You can't find much Java hosting in the zero dollar number (Redhat's cloud Jboss 7 or the non-standard Google appengine being a notable exceptions) which may be an issue to some enthusiasts who don't do their own hosting.
So is Haskell and LISP and where is their commercial penetration? No, Java is everywhere because they have developers, and as long as those developers are effective at making things, they'll be in demand from people wanting to make things. Making things easier and cheaper is important. Having lots of people of varying skill levels is important.
Commercial assembly developers may have the absolute brightest people in the entire computing world working on development, but when there's only a few hundred and they each cost a fortune to pay for, it doesn't make much business sense to support the language unless its truly the only solution.
DOTA 2 stutters for audio when the map first loads on Windows as well. That would be an engine limitation when loading in hero textures evidently. Now if you're getting them in-game reliably, that's another matter. I've played a little DOTA 2 through Fedora and Pulse and haven't run into any notable show stoppers, though I have heard minor sound stutters, I'm sure this is more engine related unfortunately. They seem to have a linked main loop that can cause sound buffers to empty before being refilled while taxing graphics / I/O.
You should've encrypted the message payload if you intended to have the message private from external snooping. If I bought you a gift and you didn't wrap before walking down the road, don't blame the the Joans' because they saw what you bought.
PS: Your ISP can/will store messages, as will every email relay between yours and theirs. Who can EVER assume that machines aren't reading the messages (even if only to catch and forward)?
I agree in general, but I'd say any apps that want system access (legitimately breaks out of sandbox protections) should be disabled for self-signed apps that haven't been manually white-listed. The number of Java apps needing system access should be low in general.
"Just imagine how cheap houses would be if banks weren't giving million-dollar mortgages to anything with a pulse."
That's pretty much Canada at the moment.. and we now have a debt service ratio that was higher than the US during it's crash... *holding breath* But at least housing costs are at a record high! No correlation or anything...
Assuming the sandbox can be trusted to do the right thing, Applets are pretty trivial to deal with fixed requirements for JVM versions these days without causing a world of hurt for end users.

I think you highly underestimate a government's drive to get paid. If any form of government is running smoothly, it'll be the tax man.

I don't see this type of shit ever. Examples please.

You used to be able to install self-signed certs into a keychain, and I'd be surprised if they took away the ability to do so in the future.
