What is the realistic likelyhood of someone pulling your financial information from your trash? It's substantially more effecient to just throw your statements out to the street on trash day under your coffee grinds.
Isn't the issue that for security reasons java requires the exact version of the jar linked against to be present and fails if you compile your own modified version?
As I read it the only "problem" here is that the very same version of the jar the program was linked against is the one required to run - sounds like linking to me, and so requires you to satisfy one of 6.a-6.e, where previously you thought you satisfied it through 6.b but hadn't since the late bind is too tightly coupled to a specific jar version.
The solution is to define an interface for your library, and use it, selecting the implementation at late-binding time, which does satisfy 6.b.
But the Diebold machines leave *no* paper trail - there are no paper ballots to check againts. Once the database is tampered with there is no way to reconstruct the voter's intent.
No one should force a sovereign nation to sell their resources. At least let the "freely elected" new government make the choice rather than the invaders. The US has no moral imperative to profit from their invasion of Iraq, they could step out.
And you might want to think that if the US makes the Iraqi people turn in their firearms for safety where their prior dictator didn't that perhaps the dictator was better loved. Not necessarily right, but better loved.
Medical supplies, food, and likely good government, could have happenned in Iraq if the US had actually believed the results of the weapon inspections and allowed the lifting of economic sanctions. But then Iraq might have had a non-US aligned government.
You get a hibachi, a hair blower, a ball peen hammer, and a hunk of steel for an anvil. Drill holes in the bottom of the hibachi, set it in the ground with a "tunnel" under it to point the hair blower at, and start up a little barbecue with some nice charcoal (not brickets, mesqite worked for me). Turn on the hair blower, insert metal, and insert between the hammer and anvil.
That's the advice that got me started. Also look for a great book called "Edge of the Anvil", which is reasonably well available and can get you going.
There is however a very nice approach called shader metaprogramming that makes it possible to write shaders directly in C++ syntax and call them as if they were functions. The basic idea is to build up a parse tree through clever operator overloading, and then compile that into a shader to bind before using it. Clever approach.
If the OpenGL ARB could respond to technology change at anything near the rate Direct3D has managed to keep up, then yes, OpenGL would be cool for games development. OpenGL developpers have to rely on vendor-specific extensions to access hardware features, instead of a cross-vendor HAL.
But all that infrastructure money will go to American interests - according to your linked article a like $140 billion to them. If that's not as good as the gold coming out of the ground, I don' t know what is.
And only 8 billion of that 75 is tagged for reconstruction. Of the 8, 6 billion is already tagged for US companies. As I count it the US is spending 67 BILLION dollars beating someone up and then handing him 2 billion for compensation.
Well, I'm no Iraqi, so I'm no position to say anything about the horse's teeth.
However, re-building is *rarely* a give-away. Most often it comes out as a loan, probably against Iraqi oil. In addition, piles of the money comes with serious strings attached, re-directing the "aid" into the giver's pockets.
The Iraqi people will be paying for their phones, no matter what's being promissed right now by various politicians. Already Bush is asking the international community to spend the money on rebuiding so he can keep his share low.
At about 220 civilian dead now for a country of under 25 million, compared to 3000 or so for a country of 300 million, I'd say the comparison is about right.
Now add millitary casualties that wouldn't have happenned without this warmongery. Hell, you might as well add in the US and British "Friendly Fire" casualties while you're at it.

This tendancy towards living in fear scares me.
Now I *could* understand the debate with .NET signed assemblies....
Then why is there an issue at all? Java's late binding then does satisfy requirement 6.b, making it all kosher.

Is that so hard?
Karma is overrated.
First there was BCPL, which engendered B, then C, named by the next letter in BCPL. Ergo, the next language should be called P Paul

Free to be forced to stage US-style elections (convince me that system isn't flawed)
Free to turn in their previously legal firearms
Free to be shot for not obeying their "liberators"
Fuck. Give us a break.
Jingoism continues to cloud people's thinking.

Slashdot bachelors might not understand this concept.
Certainly I prefer the ones compared to VWs to the ones compared with the Rock of Gibraltar!
Secondary effects are not to be ignored.
Bush needs a war to be re-elected.

Autonomy is a keystone of responsible self-government. These kinds of actions do nothing but rub it in to the subjugated people.

Seriously, GSM phones are the local standard, and any attempt by the Americans to impose CSMA is nothing short than continued imperialism.
To hell with karma.
