I believe that SG staff doesn't do that unless you submit a set to be considered for application as a model on the site. Somehow, I don't think that Satoru Iwata is gonna make the cut...
You know, microsoft does have a tool that can import java code into.NET and essentially "compile" it into a c# project. I've never used it, but I've heard it works pretty well...

Maybe I just don't grok OO design, but the whole language is really abstract. Nothing seems to tie together to anything else in any sort of logical fashion, and it takes hours to figure out how anything works.
Meh, that's just my take on it. And it would appear that my opinion is officially modded "troll". Oh, well. =/

...and let me tell you, java doesn't have to do that much to "catch up" to it.
Your touchy feely revision of history is an embarisment to everyone who had a hand in your education.
At least I passed spelling, dumbass.... =P
I can't believe everyone picked me apart on whether or not we actually needed to use the atomic bomb to end WWII. I personally don't believe we needed to (*gasp*), but simply included as a point to how we were able to use a weapon of mass destruction without mutually assured consequences. Whether or not we needed to use the bomb is completely aside the point of the original argument.
Sheesh, post back again when you graduate high school.
This isn't the thing that's kept us from using nuclear weapons in the past. The thing that has is mutually assured destruction (or MAD, if you will).
Nuclear weapons were successful in ending the second world war because we were the only country that had them at the time. We couldn't use them in any cold war conflicts because our enemies could use them on us.
Likewise, the development of anti-matter weapons is useless too, because even if we develop the technology to use them, long-range nuclear weapons from our enemies can still be used against us.
Creating more powerful weapons in an arms race is kind of like seeing who can count to the biggest number faster... I doubt we'll ever reach a largest number, and eventually both people will shout out "infinity plus one!".

Oh man, I feel really sorry for you if this is what you've been having to listen to on your iPod... want me to FTP you some pirated music sometime, man?
Completely agreed. The meaning of words is determined by their use and context, and sadly, "hacker" is one of those words that has taken a negative context in the eye of the greater public...
What happens if something like this reaches India or Pakistan, or perhaps one or more of several nations in South America, in which shantytowns with no sanitation and crushing population density?
I agree. I use a 900mhz ibook with only 384mb of ram, and it's fast enough to run both reason 2.5 and ableton 3 with 5ms latency. The latency could probably be decreased some, but I opted to buy a rather cheap external usb sound card, and that's all it can take.
Regardless, I DJ and perform with these applications all the time, and my mac never 'thrashes' or does any other ridiculous shit to get in my way. 512mb of ram would be great, but I never find myself hurting for it...
I'm sure I'm not the only rose student on/., but I'm too lazy to read at -1, so I might as well post here.
I went to a college with an 'open door' policy. If we were in the dorm room, the door was open. If we were gone and at class, the door was open. Gone for dinner; left the door open. In fact, I only recall closing it on a handful of occaisions.
Everyone trusted each other, and that trust was never abused. I lived in the dorms freshman and sophomore year, and we only locked our doors during vacations, when we knew we'd be gone for at least a week. The only times I ever had stuff stolen from me was once over a break when some townies came in and stole about a dozen LP's out of my record box (bastards!).
It's amazing when happens when everyone lives in an environment based on trust rather than, say, paranoia. I live in Indianapolis now, and seeing that it is America, I am forced to be paranoid too and lock my doors whenever I am at work. Perhaps one day I'll have the luxury of moving to a place where people aren't so constantly concerned with their material goods to warrant inherent distrust of their neighbors...
IIRC, the goals going -into- the conflict were as follows:
1. Find/remove WMD from Iraq 2. Remove Sadaam from power 3. Bring 'democracy' to Iraq
Since goals 2 & 3 have been satisfied, most americans already forgot about the first goal. Bush did declare that the conflict was already over, didn't he?

No, that would be The Bare Wench Project you're thinking of.
Speaking as an SG member also, I think it's safe to say that not everyone on /. is a tape-between-the-glasses type of geek. =)
The real question is: Can it use a two button mouse?
There's only a finite number of old films
That's your first mistaken assumption. Haven't you learned anything from Tupac? Old tapes never die... they just keep getting "remastered".
npr.org also has full audio transcripts of all the debates. They also have their own analysis up online to download, too, if you're a fan of that.
I should clarify that I would be willing to pay 40$ for the software to the company, not to the people torrenting it... =P
Who's got the .torrent? I'd gladly drop 40$ for something like this if I can try it out first...

M-O-O-N, that spells "we're all fucked!"
Damn man, mind that restraining order!
Well, I know which option -you'd- be voting for... =P
I think this would be a good ideal for a poll:

Who do we hate the most?
- RIAA
- MPAA
- Microsoft
- Republicans
- Democrats
- Cowboyneal
