A nuclear weapon is an airburst weapon. It is designed to be detonated thousands of feet above its target. If you detonate it on the ground then you drastically reduce the amount of damage the bomb will do.
The simplest explanation is that the JIT compiler will actually compile your Java application to native code, profiling the running of your application in order to figure out what kind of optimizations to make. That's why you can sometimes get better performance than well optimized C++ code.
Just about anything from Samual Adams is good in my opinion. I'm a huge fan of their brewmaster collection and seasonal beers. Blue Moon by the New Belgium Beer Company is good as well as Anchor Steam from Anchor Brewing. Those are the only ones I can think off the top of my head right now.
We see this in firearms accessories also. When the assault weapon ban expired, lots of people on gun boards put in group orders for new 15 round magazines.
Besides the fact that there is already a JVM that implements the Real-Time Specification for Java and is available for free from Sun? There's even a introduction for it to help developers get an idea of just what it has to offer.
Uh right. So, if you're a cop and you discover that the police chief and a bunch of your fellow officers are in cahoots with drug smugglers, you just go tell...who?
I think the FBI would be seriously interested in that case. As for the rest of your post, well, they did make Prozac for a reason.
There is something extremely wrong with their methodology. I've had rounds penetrate more than 18 inches of flesh and bone without shattering using quality ammunition. And considering that a standard.45 ACP FMJ round has a lower muzzle velocity than most muskets, I also find it incredibly hard to attribute any problems they had with higher muzzle velocity.
My development machine for J2EE work is a 2ghz machine with a gigabyte of RAM. Even with JBoss and IntelliJ IDEA running, I don't have any performance issues. This is obviously a troll.
When you play with a loaded gun and the trigger (inevitably) gets pulled you can blame all kinds of things but at the end of the day it comes down the idiot with the gun and the irresponsible manufacturer (originally, guns didn't "come" with safety catches - refinements).
That's a bad analogy. My Glock has three different safeties, none of which are an external lever that will block the trigger from traveling. Yet, the only way my Glock will fire is if the trigger is pulled. Combine that with a 5.5 pound trigger pull and the onus is completely on the handgun owner.
When the military is more democratically run, they might stand a chance of getting useful recruits.
Well, the problem is that democracy just doesn't work when you are being shot at. If you stop to try to form a group consensus, odds are you will be dead.
I will back this up. In about 99% of the cases, this kind of behavior can be attributed to faulty hardware, mostly RAM from my experience. And this is coming from experience with literally hundreds of Windows XP machines.
I just got that from the top command on our Linux box that serves the majority of our websites and handles a good chunk of our email. The server is still responsive, even with close to 98% of the RAM in use. Granted, the server is only serving about 100,000 pages a day but it does suggest that you are doing something wrong on your end.
Stranger things have happened. Sadam did send the bulk of his air force to Iran, which quite humourously refused to return them after the first Gulf War.
One of the biggest lessons we need to learn as a community is toleration for people who do not think like us and willingness to meet them half-way and lead them gently to our way of thinking. Everybody wins if we can just make ourselves be willing to do that.
I'm sorry, but that's not tolerance. That is called "we have the one true way and everyone else that disagrees is wrong" and that view is just madness. For some of us, which platform is used comes down to technical reasons. For me, the majority of the time that means LAMP. The rest of the time means ASP.NET on Windows.
You're missing my point entirely. I was pointing out that MySQL AB is one of Innobase's customers. MySQL AB is also their largest customer, which means the company has at least a little bit of input into what direction that InnoDB gets developed into. Why isn't MySQL AB pushing Innobase to add this as a new feature, especially considering that it would probably cost the company nothing to do so? I was implying in no way that MySQL AB should fork the development of InnoDB. Considering that MySQL AB is paying to be able to dual license InnoDB under both the GPL and a commercial license, that doesn't even seem like a possibility to begin with. Further more, odds are that I can't pressure Innobase to do anything. Just check out the licensing page on Innobase's website.
As for whether or not I'm a paying customer, the answer is not yet:). But I do have a great deal of code deployed with some of my company's clients that uses MySQL as a backend. We can quite easily become worth around $10k a year to MySQL AB if we need help with a problem we just can't solve.
Why should someone sponsor the change when you are already licensing InnoDB from InnoBase for the commercial version of MySQL? Obviously this is something that MySQL's paying customers are probably asking for.
Oracle has been giving back to Linux in order to make it a better platform to run their database software. There was even a/. article on it recently. As for whether Oracle contributes in any other areas, I don't know.
When I was doing PC repair, we handled this by requiring a valid license key that in 99% of the cases is attached as a sticker to the computer. We use our own installation media in the shop. Now, if they lost their media and wanted new ones, we pointed them to buying a new license.
As for the general scene, I think people like you just give it a bad rap because that's what you're used to. All of my developer friends work both windows and Linux, are aware of the OSS alternatives, etc. I've yet to really meet a developer who is completely unaware of the other side of the fence. They may not use it professionally but they at least know about it.
Yes, but how many of your developer friends actually use GCC/G++ for development on Windows? For the average developer, $250 for the standard version of Visual Studio is not a whole lot of money. That's only 10 hours worth of work for me.
That still leaves around 500,000 people that will be returning to the greater New Orleans area. Hell, I was in the French Quarter over the weekend and it looked like business as usual for the most part.
The vast majority of companies do not care about vendor lockin, whether it is Microsoft, Sun or IBM. The application will be written for one platform and odds are it will not move off of that platform. And if the developers can be more productive using something like ASP.NET versus something like PHP as the project gets larger then that is usually an acceptable tradeoff.

The glibc of 10 years ago is not binary compatible with the glibc of today. That pretty much rules out a dynamically linked binary that is 10 years old from running on a modern Linux system today.

The real question is why are they running this on Windows XP instead of Windows Server 2003? The cost is negligable in the real world.

The source code for Java 1.5 is available from Sun for free. . You just have to search around for it a bit.

IE is, by definition a Default & Preset. IE is forced upon you, Firefox and Opera is chosen.
If IE is forced upon you, then why can you use Firefox and Opera on Windows?
