The problem is that your normal user does not know nor cares what a JVM is and that different companies ie: Microsoft implement their own.
I bet my left testicle MS broke the JVM on purpose to make Java look bad, when in reality is their own implementation of the JVM that has the hole, not Java itself! But try explaining that to every other regular user & clueless managers who now will associate security holes with Java applets and Java. Microsoft knows this will happen.
Most of the bottlenecks in php+mysql+apache projects is really mysql. And 80% of the time is bad database design or sql programmer's fault.
One of the sites I develop and maintain gets about 13k-20k visitors per day and on peak times we get up to 200 requests/sec.
It's all PHP + MySQL. Mind you, We use Pear caching..but there were 4 queries that went into a 200k+ records table and were locking the tables and bringing down the whole site! took those 4 lines of code out..and PHP+Apache was processing the requests like nothing.
The moon doesn't need energy to maintain orbit, and we can safely park a nuclear reactor there without worrying about reentry. That power can be used for excavation. This way we don't have to bring our entire living quarters with us. We can make cement structures on the moon instead.
What do you guys think would be some of the security/privacy implications if this was extended to give over the phone voting functionality for those without access to the internet. Maybe using something like VoiceXML?
Maybe this way artists will get off their lazy asses and actually do work and perform! The days when you released a shitty album, sat back, relaxed, and watched the cash roll in, are over! Now they'll need to actually work and preform for their fans and really *earn* all that money.
On a related globe and mail article, we can read and see what we've all been fearing. Techies, specially graduates without much experience are taking jobs that pay as much as a burger flipper at your local mcds.
"The age of the universe has been put at 12 billion to 15 billion years for some time now, but every few months a revision or refinement is announced. Hubble Telescope observations yielded in April an estimate of 13-14 billion years."
So.. what was there before? just black? , nothing? Think about it.
"Absent family will join the celebrations virtually."
Why join us virtually? They should be able to join us virtually becuase they'll "fly" here with their flying cars right?......right?:( I want flying cars that everyone will be able to afford already! , No, I don't care about traffic or people not being able to fly them properly, I want the flying cars I was promised!
I know exactly what you mean. Word spits out complete garbage when it converts.doc =>.html . Microsoft attempted to address this issue by releasing an HTML filter plugin that you can install and cleans up the html word spits out. It does clean up the html but it's still kinda messy.
I love Java and C# for managing my memory, but asking the software industry to adopt VM's for all languages for the reason of managing memory is like asking the automotive industry to make cars out of styrofoam and limit their speeds to 5k/h. You can't really do that, so what we need is concious drivers and a set of rules they must follow. In this case we need concious programmers and a set of rules they should be following to avoid the buffer overflows.
It's sad that now a days the/. community has reached a point in which you have to add a remark like "by the way, before you get a chance to reply with all sorts of snide remarks, i built my two machines and i run linux (gentoo) and windows xp." in order to minimize flames! Sad but true.
It's like saying "nigger" and then saying..... oh, but dont worry, my best friend is black.

It was actually Z1on1010 with a 1 instead of an i.

I've had something like that happen to me but with outlook express and win2k sp2.

I agree with you.

Have you not watched "The Time Machine" yet?
Exchange is known for leaving viruses _and_ junk in your mail.
Makes you think why the notes are relativly so neat for what they were suppose to be.

one word: GOOD!

I thought i saw it somewhere. here
New version of the document thou.
"Girls not goin into CS"
And I can assure you.. the number of CS guys going into girls is far less!
Or their own server is shut down :)
Found these stats, that say that as of December 16 2002, Mozilla has 1.1% market share.
" By the end of the month, some industry researchers were reporting that Mozilla 1.0 had already achieved a 0.4 percent market share."
Anyone knows what is the market share for Mozilla and/or phoenix now a days?

Ok, since these are all we really care about :)

Ha. Although I suspect it will be called You've Got Mailer.
.... "You've got to nail her"
For a sec I read
Here is some more info on the hotspots, including a picture of it!
Here is a working link which talks about the service.
Should be interesting competition for starbucks and the like who wanted to come to Toronto and setup hotspots.
