Might also account for the widespread notion that probabilities explain atomic orbitals, photons, etc. rather than merely describing them. Anytime a standard model resorts to a probability function (psi - schroedinger, etc.) then it may be a useful equation but it does not explain the science behind it. It only deletes the part of the model that current technology cannot observe or measure at this point in history. The "Theory of Everything" guys hate it when we do not really understand it all yet.
M$FT began as a basement/garage grunge company with smart but not academic nerds who showed the world that you did not have to shell out millions for mainframes to use computers. They brought computing home by building on notions of open hardware for cheap pcs. This made them instant targets. IBM has hated them for totally overturning their big box paradigm. Apple hated them for showing how expensive and elite their product line was. Sun and Oracle hated them for having the gall to allow mere PC's to do the work of "real" servers and "professional" database megasoftware. To top all this off, Gates did not pay megabucks to corrupt politicians (usually of the left variety) like IBM, Oracle, SUN, and HP did with M$FT having being fairly neutral in politics. The shakedown of high-tech companies is well known and Gates just does not take side. This allowed a consortium of those already jealous and bitter about M$SFT's success to work with governing agencies to go after their money and their hard-won business advantages. And once Spitzer, the EU, and other grubbing big-government leeches get a taste for your money, look out. Any quasi ministry has a shot at the pot 'o gold, almost as big as big Tobacco's. I'm surprised that the food police (CSPI) have not issued a white-paper on them yet. Oh - it never had anything to do with Linux or OSFS at all.

The onus is really on those who say the sky is falling and it's because of YOUR 4WD explorer and all those kids you cart around in it. My toyota and my "partner" are not to blame...
terminals and green CICS screens. Every application looked and worked exactly the same. Users did not have to think much, just type and press SEND. HTML/XML, Server-side J2EE,etc. are taking us back to those glory days. I for one welcome the return of our time-sharing masters.

worst thing is, only government and academic projects are ideally suited for very-large-scale (not commodity products like apache) open source-efforts, since for-profit businesses cannot afford a large staff of developers working without a chance of recovering the resource costs. So the very worst engines of ineptitude may well end up controlling the open-source developer careers of many.
They planned and trained for 9/11 during the Clinton years expected a Gore administration. When THEY want peace, WE will have peace. It's not up to us.
State's Attny's General and the EU have gotten enough concessions from Big Black recently to enable one to reasonably predict they will go after and be successful at cashing in on Vista in some legal campaign and possibly crowbarring open the kernel. Bet me.
but the Malankovich cycles ARE responsible for our periods of glaciation and we are coming out of a big one right now. So global warming is a very expected phase of normal earth heating and cooling. It also tends to come in fits and starts with temps collapsing and rising in relatively (100's of years not 1000's) short intervals. My 8 cyl Explorer is not this planet's problem, whatever dumba$$ socialists would have us believe.
...the Laity knew their place. We don't have a peoples language anymore - just specialist OO/B&D obscenities like J2EE and.net. Kids today would do better with an Apple II or TRS-80 to get their minds around computers.
More like a new, better J2EE. If they do what you say, they will abandon the J2EE Epic Project for a lot of agile interations. And have a lot more fun.
Ruby, and it's raison d'etre Rails, are so open and free of comittee-paralysis that the thought of having it over-engineered, -documented, and -planned, gives me the heebeejeebees.

Sun has a widely used and distributed, wreck of a language system and they should keep their mitts off of the next generation of tools.
for use as a survivable datacomm infrastructure during thermonuclear warfare. Everything else was just SPAM (tm) and Romper Room (tm). Maybe the originators still think the original scenarios are possible or likely after years of being overlooked.

to say, "Peace Out". Until then, we will crab at defense secretaries....
We have to replace these outdated notions of performance. Slower slugs are actually BETTER for our users. See Ruby on Rails for details.

like the mobile bio-labs?

there goes the impeachment. Not illegal anymore.
that jumping will require advances there, too.

or in five years we all have to program in monoC# or ruby :)
