Every nation on earth does not WANT to start nuclear war. Every nation on earth wants to be ABLE to start nuclear war.
Nuclear deterrence is one of the very few basic things that are proven to work in the international relationships.
If Saddam actually had operational nukes he would still be in power. That is why Iran wants them so badly and NK exploded the first thing they could. Just basic logic. Sometimes in the future we will actually cooperate, but for now, just respect your neighbour with a big stick.

I dont know what kind modded you down. I worked for several large Linux-centric corp over last few years and these are my impressions as well.
it is not software as a class, it is the fact that in order to use it you have to agree to EULA that will let the "manufacturer" get away with anything. You do not "owe" piece of software (in most cases), you are just permitted to use it for a while in exchange for sum of money and promise not to sue the maker.
Once more people realize that they do not have to agree and demand different, things will change. Or, appropriate state and local gvnts may want to require certain software products to be sold only if its maker assumes liability.
It became virtually impossible to put a new product on the market without paying hefty advertisement fees thru AdWords. The Google competitors in this space simply do not work so not doing Google ads is not an option. If you dont pay Google for this form of "product placement" - you do not exist and you get zero traffic.
This is monopoly Microsoft could only dream of.
Even one decent bodyguard 24 hours a day is going to cost you some $400,000 a year. And I am sure those guys need gear and gas and expense accounts. I dont think this amounts to much.
and that is why some Google competitors (see my sig, I participated in development of this product) made it a big deal from the beginning to be able to search anywhere - file shares, databases, FTP sites, CD backups, whatever.
If you install jpackage, you can get Jboss via yum today. Plus bunch of other Java software. Plus pluggable, switchable JVMs.
Not particularly suitable for complex project/experienced developers but a nice to have.
Unfortunately Geronimo is not nearly as mature as Jboss. I trust Jboss to run critical stuff and it is solid (with few minor things - HATE Jboss classloader!!!).
>> rails has caused a lot of momentum im the java world
Yep. These days you can get everything Rails can get you (and tons more) in Java by mixing and matching things like Spring, Hibernate 3, Spring MVC, Middlegen,.. and deploy on simple Tomcat (not on expensive app server) with security, unlimited scalability, universe of libraries, etc.
Rails is a good framework and Ruby is an excellent language, nevertheless.
Oh yes, I meant no SHARED state of course. Having a loadbalancer configured for sticky sessions will allow keeping the state on an individual server where your session ended up connected to.
I have been into these kinds of problems for many years. The base problem is that if your servers are actually sharing the state (HTTP session, etc.) as in example you used, it simply does not scale over 2,4,6,8 servers. Great care needs to be taken while programming such system. So if this is the direction this slashdvertized software supports, it is a dead end.
The only truly scalable way for j2EE is to NOT to share sessions between the servers, have them stateless. You can then have a simple load balancer in front (Apache if soft, Big IP Whatever if hardware) and off you go with hundreds of servers.
Great amount of money is made while peddling shared session solutions, but the problem is too fundamental to be solved that way.
My $0.02
your number 3 and the like are largely going on under the radar.
A friend of mine just got new Fujitsu laptop and it came with all the Google stuff preinstalled.
I am not a lawyer, but this kind of thing cant go back in time. GPL and the like dont put time clause on the license. If you (copyright holder) gave me the right to use your creation, that is how it stays. Future versions (even minor improvements) is a fair game though.

Mary Kay distribution center in Dallas had this 10 years ago. Worked on VAXes and 286s.
Well said.
Not to jail but to be questioned. Which seems to be perfectly reasonable to me (if someone in fact matches all of those criteria).
Cool so they will be able to open thing up and type: addr_book | grep "mom" | dial -t
Define: successful. N800 is regularly on the top of Amazon bestseller list higher than Mac laptops.

Forgot globalization, dude. Can't be Jon Katz mocking without globalization.
target.com == Amazon
Sorry but this is total uneducated BS. I lived in Seattle and Amazon hires techies like crazy and pays well too.
.. Amazon S3 as a backend,even for the website.

Just FYI, this is likely to be called exactly once, even before any GUI is init'ed so it is perfectly fine. OP does not know what he is talking about.
Would not that be even worse? A multinational moving in the position of the final judgement on good vs. evil?
