So does this mean that Windows will start shipping with Java again? Or will Sun kick their own nut sack again and counter sue to stop Microsoft from shipping any version of Java (again)?
Please explain why a Dual G5 64 Bit computer running UNIX is not a workstation but a desktop while a Dual UltraSparc 64 Bit computer running UNIX is not a desktop but a workstation. Keep in mind that "cause Apple says so" is not a valid answer. Also keep in mind that marketing does NOT define reality, what a computer was marketed as has no bearing.

"The article implies that Einstein's relativity is incorrect, in the opinions of most scientists. I'm no physicist, but I would say that most scientists are trying to build onto Einstein's relativity and show that it agrees with Quantum Mechanics: Therefore, they think it is correct."
They think that Einstein's theory is in a quantum state, being both correct and incorrect at the same time until they try and apply it to a given situation. Then it resolves into a definite true or false state.
Of course, I could be full of crap. Its been known to happen just after lunch.
Survival kit contents check. In them you'll find: one.45 caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days concentrated emergency raisons; one drug issue containing: antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair a nylon stockings. Ten 30mm propulsion-grade rubber bands. Shoot, a fellah could have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff.
"Perhaps the issue isnt' with control, but with teh fact that Microsoft has shown time and again they will use that control to make your life hell. Apple has not."
They haven't? So they didn't cancel the Newton? They support all the hardware they promised with OSX? Rhapsody was released? YellowBox is supported?
Apple has broken more promises to developers then any other company I've ever delt with. I stopped developing for them just after they told me that all the hardware they had previously told me to buy inorder to develop for their next gen OS would be incapable of even running it.
I have no love of Microsoft or Apple, but at least Microsoft is consistent and predictable in their evil.
There are two good AV programs for Windows that I know of, F-Prot and Command. Both will run you around 25$ a year and both run very light. I've had to turn them off when playing games, but other then that they dont have any problems.

"Actually the company I work for is trying to hire phone support techs and a programmer or two. We can not find them. The programmer we got with a shinny degree did not know what a hash table was. He also did not know what the STL was, or how to program in perl or java. He had a limited knowlege of c++ but we spent months teaching him.
It might just be the area I am in but finding phone techs is not easy. No I am not in India and it is very unlikly we will ever outsource. We find having the support people right next to the programers the best way to provide really good support."
It must be the area. In the San Francisco area (where I'm located) everyone I know save one (and myself) is working a service job (food prep, buss driver etc) since there are no tech jobs anymore. The one person I know who is working has a three moth contract after being out of work for a year, and while I'm working full time again, I was out of work for six months. Its a little better out there then it was a year ago, but its still very grim.
"When I was eXtreme programming, the two of us just sat there and talked about chicks! One of us coded and the other talked about about the chicks we wanted to fuck. That's it in a nutshell. Sorry! We never looked over the other's [sic] shoulder when we were programming."
So in other words, you where not extreme programming. You where just wasting time and CALLING it extreme programming. This is like saying that driving a car to work dosn't work becuase you just sat in your driveway drinking beer.
So lack of a 7.0 to 7.1 update for Macintosh at this moment equates to it being killed?

"Is it, at last, possible to simply draw lines or arcs ? It is pretty useful, so why do they snub such functionalities?"
For the same reason it dosn't serve web pages. It is not a drawing tool, it is an Image Manipulation Program. Not that I would mind if they addedd better drawing functionality.
"I think the best solution is simply the browsers remembering passwords on websites."
This would work if, and only if, there was some strong encryption on the password list. In otherwords, you would need to be prompted for a single strong password whenever a password is pulled from the list. This strong password would be the key for the encrypted password file.
Passwords must be of minimum length 6
Passwords can be of maximum length 30
Passwords must contain at least one (1) numeric character
Passwords must contain at least one (1) alphabetic character
Passwords must contain at least one (1) special character (@,#,$,%,^,&,*,(,),+,=,-,etc).
Spaces and apostrophes ( ' ) are allowed in a password and are counted as a character ("pass phrases" are allowed)
Passwords are case-sensitive
Otherwise a simple path traversal hack/exploit would return your full password list.
So Plam Tungstens have 704x480 screens with hardware acceleration and enough CPU power to do DiVX decoding on the fly? My toshiba e805 with a 2MB ATI video card and 400mhz XScale CPU has a hard time with DiVX at 640x480 (the PDAs native rez'), if this thing does what it claims to do it is very cool. Otherwise its just a toy.

So to combat fraud, you commit fraud? Interesting, sort of like killing everyone so they wont murder each other.
I'm offended that you would think I would be offended by your offensive joke about being offended. Ok enough of that....
Why not use it as a pajoritive? You know, "I need to take a FCC" or "he's a total FCC" or "This is realy FCC right here". Seems to work well enough.

Anything anyone can say is offensive to someone. Expect to see this used against all sorts of things that no sane person would think of as 'profane'.
