No. About 18% of all code written in 2010 was in Java. That's a huge percentage -- C had only 16%, and JavaScript (supposedly the hot new thing) is at 1.5%.
OH please! How can that be anything other than a shoddy estimate? How do you go about counting ALL the code writting in 2010?? Let alone breaking it down by language. What's your source? Are we talking estimated lines of code? Are we talking about job ads? You might as well pull those percentages out of your backside if you don't quote your sources.
Ever heard of Windows Explorer FTP shortcuts? Or TortoiseCVS or TortoiseSVN?
Their service may be slightly more user friendly, and might be replicated (but then FTP has mirrors).
It's nothing new. It's just "Cloud" marketing. I don't care if people don't want to hear it because it's the current fad, but it's the truth no matter how many buzzwords you use.
Dropbox is several things at once, so I forgive your confusion:)
First, it's a cloudbased fileserver. You can upload your files and it will keep 2GB or more of them on the cloud (S3) for you to access. Not a big deal so far. If you pay money, you get much more space.
However, you can also give other people access to your files. And it will keep all the versions of your files. This is a bit more interesting.
Cloud based? Give access to files? You mean like FTP has for decades? (Or more recently SFTP so you're not sending credentials in the clear)
Oh file versions and cloud based? You mean like a CVS or SVN server.
For fuck sake, this is nothing but crapware with bullshit marketing thrown in. The moment I see the word 'cloud' used as a computing term I assume I'm about to have my intelligence insulted.
If Anonymous is made up of random people who care about the issue of the moment, how do you investigate them over time? I can't see how they would all care about the same things, as it's not like Anonymous hires people to do stuff.
Unless there's some sort of "Anonymous Hacking, LLC" I haven't hear of...
You find anyone that's been involved and pin everything on them then use trumped up charges to lock them up for the rest of their lives. Have you not been paying attention?
MySQL is still just as good as it was under Sun. If you don't like whatever changes Oracle makes, fork it. Make your own. Call it LibreSQL if you wish. Until I hear of Oracle actually doing something bad to MySQL, I'm going to keep using it.
If you don't like your life, fork it! Grow wings and fly away to an island paradise.
For most people, and by that I mean 99.9999% the above is a hell of a lot more realistic a suggestion than forking a codebase like MySQL
"I don't get paid for work I did two decades ago. Why should you?"
A possible response: "Because work that I did two decades ago is still valued and in demand, while nobody cares what you did yesterday."
So you don't mind if your builder's plumber comes into your building and rips up the sewerage? Then you can either be full of shit, or swimming in shit.
Until people wake up and realize that they do not owe copyright owners anything, nothing will change. I had a conversation a few weeks ago with a person who used to work for the recording industry, and when I suggested that there might not be any ethical problem with downloading unauthorized copies of music and movies, he became so emotional that the conversation ended with him demanding that I never speak to him again.
Sounds like a win-win to me. You no longer have to talk to the douche, and he gets to keep his head buried in the sand.
Didn't Amazon say that they would no longer remove books remotely?
Didn't Amazon just admit they've been selling illegal pornography? So does this mean everyone from the CEO down who had a hand in the decision to sell these books is going to jail and on the sex offenders lists?
Didn't Amazon just revoke books paid for by the customer without compensating them. Don't they have ads about taking what's not yours in digital format being theft? So does that mean everyone from the CEO down is going to be tried for theft, not to mention the civil suits that will claim 100x the cost of the book in damages?
They think they're controlling their DRM but they're just fucking idiots. They've just given everyone who bought one of these books cause to never buy another one of their readers and/or pirate content.
Did you stop to think that perhaps he's not specifically looking for someone who has seen adversity, but he is instead looking for the qualities that adversity instills into a person? I for one, think that is rather insightful.
Paint it any way you like. THe reality is that he's looking for damaged goods and enjoys being around a woman who is damaged in that way. It's one thing to acknowledge that as a charactaristic of a partner, or admire their getting over adversity. It's another to go out and specifically look for damage.
Wow, someone who's brave enough to stand up for what he believes in is also brave enough to say what he wants in a woman. We're pissed because sometimes he succeeds, apparently.
Contrary to popular belief on slashdot, getting laid is not that hard, especially if you don't set your standards particularly high. When what he wants in a woman is a chick from a country in turmoil, the guy deserves some criticism. What kind of sick fuck has that at or near the top of their list of desirable qualities.
Do not confuse the argument about whether or not Wikileaks is important with the argument about whether or not its founder is an idiot. Humans are complex. An idiot can still do positive things.
When was the last time you gasped at a car driving next to you? Yeah, people get used to technology.
Night before last. On the way home from late shift, I get the luxury of a cab to get home. One of the few perks of my job. That is until your cabby has a,microsleep and nearly takes out the car next to you. I'm very proud of myself for retaining bladder control.
I know that the most interesting places will be the apartment buildings and other structures where the cold war era artifacts are left untouched. I hope that they stay that way, and don't get sanitised or removed by tourists. The first tour of the area will probably be the best.
Is that because you'll get use to the green glow in a short time, or because it will be your last tour of anything?
ZoneAlarm lost my support as a free Firewall solution in September over the whole "Global Virus Alert" scareware tactic. I recommend Comodo Internet Security now. Very configurable, easy to train, allows manual rule creation down to port level.
I tried Comodo twice over the years. Both times it made my system crawl, and I had issues which were showstoppers (but for the life of me I can't remember the detail).
Pretty easy. Make it standard for all OSs to default to updating/patching *without* prompting the user.
No thanks. I've seen too many "fixes" break much more than they fixed. I'm setting up a laptop at the moment and had to downgrade my version of Zonealarm because it broke my remote desktop, and downgrade my version of virtualbox because it broke network file sharing. Too many companies think they know better than the user then fail to do basic testing. Until quality control comes up out of the gutter, if you take away my ability to decide what is and isn't installed, I no longer have a use for your product. That's true of everything from the web browser to the OS to games to office suites. EVERYTHING.
So the doctor and lawyer would find themselves responsible for a mistrial, possibly a contempt of court citation, for explaining anything to the other members of the jury.
I don't know either a doctor or lawyer that'll explain anything to you without billing by the hour.
Unless you're sequestered (very unusual because of the expense), you aren't "imprisoned", all you're asked to do is not talk about the trial nor gather any information about the matters being disputed. Why is this a problem? Is it so impossible to tell people that you can't talk about it?
Most people I know are too stupid to keep their mouth shut about their OWN business let alone other people's. Everything from breaking the law evading tax or downloading stuff they shouldn't to cheating on their spouses. If they can't keep their mouth shut about that, you've got no hope of them shutting up about a jury trial.
My Oracle support sucks, the damn thing is flash, you can't reply via email only by logging back in and trying to use it. It fails quite often and loses anything you typed in. Plus they do anything to avoid calling you.
It is the worst support portal I have ever seen.
I can fix that for you. Buy a Dell laptop. It is now the second worst you've seen.

I believe that War Games vs Sneakers would be a far more interesting match up.
Admit it! You wan to see War Games vs The Net, because you've got the hots for Sandra Bollocks.
Australia would freely admit that they could be taken down by Anonymous, and therefore Anonymous would leave us alone.
It's only if we were to taunt them that we would be in real trouble...
Sounds like Anonymous Cowardice to me ;-)

How are words on a page illegal?
Words are illegal if your state or country makes them so. There is a difference between legality and morality.

Someone interested in women that are likely to be resourceful, independent and mature ?
No, more likely just damaged, full of self-loathing and hates herself and the world enough to comply with his twisted sexual requests.

That actually sounds like a fairly accurate representation of the man. Honesty in an online dating profile? Whodathunkit???
Honesty != Success && julianAssangeIsAnAss == TRUE
It's called ubiquity. Once something, ANYTHING, is ubiquitous, it is then assumed to be normal, common, and easy.
Sounds like a great film title. "Ubiquity" is much better than "Mundane" or "Boring".

It's like sending your friend shopping with your girlfriend. You start to wonder what they're doing when they've been gone too long.
Your points are all perfectly salient, but this makes me think you need better friends and/or a better girlfriend.
This is slashdot. You built your best friend and your girlfriend. You can build better ones!
I'm not sure a torrent site like that is anything like untraceable...
Also you probably want someone who knows about this stuff to help you remove traces of yourself from the data too.
So use TOR (onion router). As for removing traces, you'd need to do that with any software.
So the doctor and lawyer would find themselves responsible for a mistrial, possibly a contempt of court citation, for explaining anything to the other members of the jury.
