The DMZ is a wildlife paradise --- hopefully the wildlife is not extinguished by armedbots because the wildlife merely moves throughout the DMZ. I would like to see the armedbots recognize the difference between human and animal before going robocop.
Sure, Sun may gain PR here. But, there may be other advantages.
If a research group hacked and recompiled the JRE to run with impressive performance gains, wouldn't there be a likelihood Sun (and other corps running Java) would take notice?
Overall, this move might improve Java, in some way. What way is that? A way discovered by groups who play with Java under the license (research/universities...).
If you use the code for "Research Use" means research, evaluation, or development for the purpose of advancing knowledge, teaching, learning, or customizing the Technology or Modifications for personal use. Research Use expressly excludes use or distribution for direct or indirect commercial (including strategic) gain or advantage then you have the right to [r]eproduce, create Modifications of, and use the Technology alone, or with Modifications. That's according to the license. If they required certain classes, that's another story, but according to the license, you could change that?
Sounds like you want the PDA dead, regardless of reason?
A person explains he/she uses a PDA extensively in a medical practice and you explain the PDA is, regardless, dead --- he/she uses the PDA as a "medical applicance" --- "when something is changed to accomodate the needs of a specific industry, it ceases to function in it's role for the general public."
Let's take your line of reason and apply it to the PC. A PC is useful to me for software development, I use it day-to-day. The PC really solely accomodates the needs of the software industry, therefore it cease to function in its role for the public. So, the PC is dead?
It sounds to me that miracle69 provide an example of how the PDA is not dead; it is useful.
These are unusual developments because they are not seen between any other OS and Sun.
Certainly, Apple has an interest in Java and, while holding a very small server market share, increasing its server presence. Merely that Apple is not associated with the server market and Sun is, may be very valuable to Apple.
Certainly a relationship between Apple and Sun does exist. How far that relationship develops will be interesting to see.
With Microsoft delayed for 'advanced' local file system searching because of its reliance on.NET, I'm curious what technologies Google plans to use for competing against Microsoft's future plans.
I prefer to go through the difficult installation process Debian is known for - I know what hardware I have and can update drivers in the kernel if necessary, manually.
So has does an installer perform? How about detecting a p4p800 deluxe motherboard with a 3com 3C940 nic? Unfortunately not.
The disadvantage with installer is that users generally become lazy because of the very nature of an installer. It's purpose is to automatically detect a user's hardware - if it does not, then a user will likely give up and not naturally, say, update a drive in the kernel.
Wouldn't the law require the government to reimburse companies for the storage and equipment costs associated with such a mandate? I remember reading something once that the government could borrow or utilize property under certain circumstances and, in doing so, the government is required to provide compensation. I don't see how the same rule wouldn't apply to a circumstance merely because it involves technology.
"CNN is reporting that the Canadian Government is considering a proposal that would force all convenience stores, transportation departments, department stores, ATM vendors, banks, owners of parking lots, institutions of public education, government offices, operators of sporting events, mass transit operators, and others to keep video tapes of the activities of others for up to 6 months, allow police to get search warrants allowing them to find 'bad things' and ban the possession of 'bad things.' Canada and the U.S. have both endorsed this proposal."
After this and Declan's previous article (something along the lines, "there should be a seperation of techies and state"), which seem, well, non-Declan (who is generally a fierce advocate for freedom and is anti-DMCA) I am wondering if this is applicable...

Mary Bingham, of Springfield, was arrested today for criminal copyright violations. Several shoppers at the PiggyMax grocery store witnessed Bingham, a 42 year old mother of two children attending Spingfield High School, flip past an advertisement in Curve magazine.
"She [Bingham] was standing at the magazine stand just reading the magazine [Curve]. When all the sudden, she flipped right past a page featuring an advertisement," said Marv Winklman, a sales representative for a local cable operator. "It was horrible. I witnessed the suffering of Curve magazine... I remember turning to others standing next to her in shock. I had no words. My god, the advertisement was just flipped by. I hope she rots in prison!" Mary Bingham and her attorney refused to comment on this story.
I am reminded of a public service ad which demonstrated how lucky Americans are that reading activities at libraries are kept private. Ads, such as this, were produced after 9/11 to show an appreciation of individual rights.
Ironically, the new government policies for our libraries seem to have, now, deteriorated our privacy. And the ad is, now, an excellent demonstration of how the current administration has run amok.
PSA's ad, "Library" is in realmedia format. And, no. America is no longer America.
This user's wish: I wanted something simple. I was getting tired of the 'stable' Debian release being so out of date, and the 'unstable' distribution being so... well... unstable. I got tired of having to recompile my kernel every time I got new hardware. I got tired of using command line to talk to my PC. It was time for a change.
I wouldn't be surprised if this guy, again, becomes frustrated with his OS because it sounds like he is looking for something that just works, is refined, and has new technology (wanted to use latest unstable Deb, didn't he?). Well, Win XP scores maybe 1/3 of that criteria. However, a Mac seems to fulfill 3/3 IMO. Sounds like a Mac / OSX user.
This is not new. If a person sues a mail order company, where is the case going to be held? The same principals that have historically been found in contract law between two parties who form an obligation in differentjurisdictions should apply to cybercases and I have not seen a compelling argument to demonstrate that Congress and the Judiciary should tackle the Internet CyberHighWay with new laws.

As someone who has done lots of PHP programming, this is succinct.

The taxonomy ('vocabulary') looks interesting for an app like this. Think I'll play and see how many children I can have.

Not sure who was first, but clevercactus has had the same type of offering for awhile.

What distribution would you say has/maintains the latest GNOME packages, without building from source?
I've seen many movie trailers on Apple.com and I'm sure many others have too. Certainly this media is not gentle bandwidth usage.
How does Apple profit? Do studios pay Apple to have trailers on its site?
Curious... I've never heard of them receiving a royalty.

What is interesting is Apple's integration of Java into OS X (into the OS X System Architecture), in addition to cooperation with Sun (i.e., allowing OS X specific attributes into Sun's Java).
These are unusual developments because they are not seen between any other OS and Sun.
Certainly, Apple has an interest in Java and, while holding a very small server market share, increasing its server presence. Merely that Apple is not associated with the server market and Sun is, may be very valuable to Apple.

Was he appointed one by the court?
