The UN explicitly says when military force is authorised (it becomes part of the resolution text), it does not leave it up to member states to decide when they feel like playing global cop.
Exactly. Russell's failure was a major blow to mathematics and a certain kind of philosophy. At the time it was no where near as minor a hiccup as the OP commented,
Alan Cox commented on the fact that Java made insecure programs hard to write.
Given that/. seems to hate Java, perhaps this indicates a clue gap between those who know wtf they're talking about and the slashbot anti-java brigade?
I have it on slashbot authority that M$ are loverly fluffy bunnies who will allow C# /.NET into FOSS code without causing any ripples whatsoever because they are lovery friendly Good Guys. Unlike BAD Evil Sun (boo hiss!!)
The guy is clearly a code monkey and doesn't understand what an education is for.
I mean, FFS! LEARN XML???? Why the fuck do you need to take a course to LEARN XML???
Here's a hint: thousands of people working in IT now use XML without having taken courses in it? How are they capable of this amazing feat of knowing about something without having to have taken a course on it? Because they have a decent education and they've learned how to learn. They have a good theoretical base in the art which makes new technologies easier to absorb and understand.
I repeat: the original article author is a code monkey.
I don't understand how anyone could think HL2 was a good game. It took hours to install and when you did get to play, it tooks hours to load and paused for loading every minute. Even ignoring the perma-loading phenomena, the game was nothing more than a pretty shooter on VERY tight rails.
HL2 Sucks and I'm pissed off I wasted my money on it. I will never by anything over Steam or from Valve again.
I can write java software that has a GUI, networking, database connectivity and port it between different OS's with ease. I know this because I have done it with several products.
You can compile new code while java is running, so it kinda does sort-of move towards "scriptness" on that dimension. It's not *designed* to do that as a core feature, but it's doable.
Slashdot Mirror
Bullshit. 1441 did NOT authorise military force.
The UN explicitly says when military force is authorised (it becomes part of the resolution text), it does not leave it up to member states to decide when they feel like playing global cop.
Quit the historical revisionism.
So? The US pays a lot of money to the UN so it shouldn't have to deal with what the rest of the world thinks?
Yeah. Right. And George Dubyah is completely free from external financial influences.
Look, the UN is the closest thing we have to international democracy. The US is *supposed* to value such ideas.
Don't be so fucking obnoxious.
Who do you think Bungie ARE?
AI presents a class of program which to achieve its goals ought to be able to be self referential.

Given that
People making things for free is fine.
People making patent encumbered things free and trying to shove them into FOSS is a big issue.
Duh.

...for the slashbots to tell us why this is evil - everything Sun does is evil, after all.
Did you actually *read* the article?
For christ's sake, the two countries have a history of long and bitter war. It's not quite the same as the USA-Canada relationship FFS.
hypocrite!
Bullshit.
The language is controled by the Java Community Process. That involves Sun, 3rd Party companies and community spokespeople.
Ant supports other languages - c / C++ is pretty standard. Any new language can be handled via plugins

You lot hate Sun no matter what they do.
"Java on the other hand is 14 years old and people are still talking about its slowness.
C++ was 14 around 1997 and was widely used and known for its high performance.
Doesn't that say something to you?"
Yes, it says that there are plenty of ill informed bigots out there who say such things because they just dont like Java.

Your post is FUD.
Bullshit! Eclipse does more than Visual Studio and is takes no longer to do anything.
What a complete and utter lie.
