Wow, I didn't realize that the ARM manufacturers had made such impressive gains in power efficiency. I know that I'm seeing ARM cores on a lot of ASICs and FPGAs these days, I guess that's why.
Java was doomed, from the first time anyone ever had to ask the question "which Java?"
It failed on the "write-once, run anywhere" promise, it failed on the security promise, and it failed on the "finally, you'll be free of win32" promise. The ways that Sun screwed this pooch will be the subject of thousands of business-school term papers for years to come.
Changing Sun's ticker symbol to JAVA just tells me that Schwarz has no better ideas than rearranging the deck chairs.
Friedman pointed out in the mid-80's that over the entire history of European settlements in what is now the USA, from the founding of the Jamestown colony to the present, there's only been about fifty years in which we were not running a trade deficit.
This is the kind of Kooksuit that gets tossed at the first hearing. The real issue for the court is whether to sanction the kook's lawyer for filing this action.
And eventually....you just forgot about the rules and told a story, the way role-playing really ought to be.
Ugh. I'm glad I never played with a wannabe fantasy author for a DM. My friends and I made it up as we went along, with the players contributing as much if not more than the DM.
don't suggest that it is somehow the line when it is really just your line.
It isn't just my line. Courts have to decide between conflicting rights all the time, and the dividing line here is the one between defend oneself and recklessly endangering one's neighbors.
The difference between a rifle and a mortar is the likelihood of injuring or killing someone besides an attacker. If someone's shooting at you, the appropriate response is to shoot back at that individual, not to demolish the entire city block he's in.
The line is basically at the point where your arms become ordinance; in other words, too big to serve as a personal defense against armed individuals. I'm fine with you owning a.50 cal browning, but I have an issue with mortars and heavy artillery.
Someone examined the same evidence and worked out another solution that you disagree with, and they're instantly "idiots" without the "capacity for critical thinking."
Dream on, sunshine. Creationists don't examine evidence, they just look for different ways to keep saying "nuh-uh" when shown the evidence of evolution.
stance on evolution really isn't even on my radar for politicians
It's an indicator of their capacity for critical thinking. If a politician purports to be a creationist, he's either an idiot or wiling to pander to idiots. I'm not sure which is worse.

I guess too many people actually were getting the facts, and the upshot has been erosion of MS's server market share.

I don't understand why this is categorized as humor when it deals with someone's pain and anguish.
Because comedy is tragedy that happens to someone else.

No. One is a scientific theory, one is wishful thinking.
