Instead of attacking the application, hackers just attack the runtime environment - what's that written in? "Secure" languages are useful only for user apps - that is all. Never for OS or Network layer. This layer simply has to be bug free. Period. There is no "language" solution. It's a development methodology problem.
As far as the secure or fast question, that's up to the user application requirements.
And the boy in the movie represents the "orphan" Linux in recent commercials: Why isn't he coming with us? He has to stay here to carry on the fight...
All the bugs will now be visible and accessible... Maybe they will be forced to allow the "million eyeballs" to fix them. Save Yourselves! GPL the code...
While your comment is insightful, you are forgetting about the rest of the equation - WalMart's customers. When I go to WalMart, I evaluate in my own mind what quality I want and what price I will pay. If the quality is poor, I don't buy. If the price is high, I don't buy. WalMart is smart enough to recognize when items stop selling and respond sooner or later. Companies that can't afford to lose the "WalMart Contract" should rethink thier business...
Comes from our culture and upbringing (or lack thereof). Your TV has images flitting about. Context switches every three seconds at the most... Computers running multiple browser windows --- chatting, googling, playing music, working on that paper.... Not many can do ONE thing for hours on end like the old days. That would take serious retraining.
Unless the patient is bothering others or is dangerous, there's not much to do other than to try to simplify life and get back to the important things like family and the outdoors whenever possible.
Used to be that the raptors got electrocuted by perching on top of utility poles: when their wings touched wires on each side of the pole, they got zapped. Maybe extending the top of the wind turbine to make a perch would prevent some of the accidents?

You are way on the right track here. I don't know if anyone in the professional media can even define "terrorist." Most people use "fear" as a prerequisite. We fear God and He's not a terrorist. The US Armed forces are "feared" and they are not terrorists. National armies under command of National leadership cannot be called "terrorists," sorry PLO.
Being outspoken on any issue does not make you a terrorist. Hatred itself does not make you a terrorist, but it is a driving force. Real terrorists are bent on personal violence, and take concrete steps to act.
Java is only one of the languages that completely prevent stuff like buffer overrun exploits etc. In fact, pretty much every single language except C and C++ do.
He is only correct after the JVM is perfect (or the OS for other langs).
There are still holes. But they will be platform - and version - specific.
As long as there is new hardware being developed, there will still be C and ASM and there's no way around it.
It's fairly easy to gauge that this latest generation of "consumers" are not satisfied with the previous generation's mindset, and, as a result are cynical with regard to "producers" that do not actually "produce", but seem to take advantage of their monopoly position and leverage it against both the artists _and_ the listeners to make the most money. Like a swarm of bees that can drive away a bear, this generation will most likely not slow down, nor stop tearing at the adversary until the value received (i.e. Listening enjoyment) is higher than price paid (Cents/Track). This is the basis of a market economy - get used to it.
When will the model adapt to the market? (e.g. $0.01 per listen, or $0.25 for permanent storage)
A). 2 Years B). 5 Years C). 10 Years D). None of the Above (Everyone will be in jail)
I believe it's an attempt to shed some light on the megahertz myth. It's saying that 2 GHz in Mac space is 2.66 GHz in Intel Space. So, in just basic terms, multiply the GHz by 1.33 if you want to know the relative Pentium Speed... Of course, this totally does not include any AltiVec use, one of the real reasons to use the Mac for scientific work...
I have the AMP version (VGA-7) with the Roland COSM technology. Very cool. It is nearly impossible to tell that the sound is manufactured.
However, a digital pickup would be one upping their system by reason of the cabling - there's a 13-pin connector on the GK input! The digital system might even be able to be wireless.....
You see, I have a Miranda camera. What's that, you say? Well, it's made by a company that refused to license - yep, that's right _license_ their lens mount to third party lens mfrs. Of course, since Photographic equipment is a normal industry - Miranda went out of business for doing that... now if only the same were true of the computer business!...
But, if I want to use my camera as a shovel, or doorstop, or paperweight, I have every right to do so. I can smash it if I want. It's mine - It's not licensed. I own it. Betcha MS wishes they could "license" HW too!
Sounds Interesting --- has anyone considered the requirements _generation_ process? Maybe a slashdot - style web-based system where the process looks like this:
1). Anonymous coward proposes a system requirement 2). Discussions about the requirements abound... 3). A moderator mods it up because it might be insightful (or down...) 4). Requirements with a score of 5 get added to the real requirements.... Those with high karma get raises and promotions....(or respect and admiration with OSS) etc...
Once requirements are in the system, it's just a database - blah. We really want to improve the product and the developement process, right?
Allright, that was a bit pessimistic, wouldn't you say? But I won't disagree with you.
The point to draw out is that the purpose of being in business is to create value (typically in exchange for cash). The idea to help other types of businesses become better through software is really the key. Whether that's through more efficient custom-tuned toaster drivers, or off the shelf widget shifters doesn't matter as much - but make sure to have a plan - and either execute or change that plan. Your product or service needs to be of value to the market you're going after, or don't bother.
Well, It's a little like going off the deep end to be selling desserts, but I think it represents the core idea that to be "in business" you have to provide "value" to the customer - not just technologically marvelous code driven by the passions of the developers.
Passion is great, but don't waste it on something that has little value to anyone (unless you're doing it for your own amusement and don't expect to get paid).
I came from a technologically advanced company and was part of the driving force for a few _really_ cool software technologies (which truly worked as designed). But, the management/customer relations/contracts part of the business couldn't hold anything together long enough to make any project successful and every line of awesome code we wrote drove the company further into the ground......
It's all about VALUE. Now that the "Internet Economy" has illustrated that the there REALLY IS NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH, we can get back to work on REAL projects with REAL impact for the customer - no more "spam-a-lot" boxes.

Yes, Lord Vader, right away Sir...
I was just trying to lighten things up a bit....
The lay, laid, lie thing is a common American "screw up."
I'm confused. Is "sex it up" the same as "screw it up?"
And is it laid or layed, or lied?
Arrghh.

Ignore this idiot. He claims to invent ideas.
You can't invent ideas. You can only get them.
And then please keep them to yourself, unless they are GOOD ideas!

int foo, *bar; creates an integer named foo, and a pointer to an int named bar. Right? Or am I wrong?
:-8
Wrong.
foo is an int.
*bar is an int.

Would they call it Newer York?
And what happened to the plans for the original York?

Don't worry about theses wires on your gopher link, those are "doctor's orders" heh. heh.
