It is one of the worst movies ever which is actually good, the movie is cult and probably one of the most interesting movies ever film historywise, because it shows the last materials ever shot with Bela Lugosi.
If you want to see the worst movie ever made, which actually not even is good, then have a look at Gay Niggers from Outer Space, that one ranks the absolute low in my ranking.
No kidding, but there used to be a porn version of snowwhite and the seven dwarfs with disney like cartoon characters. It is still sold sometimes over here in Europe.
Haha good luck Darl, the BSD code has been reviewed in the AT&T case and the code split was under the supervision of a court when AT&T and Berkeley split the code.
If he really found something in the BSD codebase, then it definitely was only code which was sanctioned by the court to be public domain.
The funny thing is, he has yet to prove his allegations against linux and he makes new ones against BSD which even has a court trial gone through and is cleaner than anything else there is possibly, from a legal standpoint.
Actually Netbeans has become a very good foundation with the latest release, and Sun starts to build decent apps on top of it.
Have you ever had a look at the 2.0 early access release of Studio Creator, I was simply blown away by it.
It sort of is like Access for webapps, but without all the problems access has.
Making a database aware webapp with that tool is a matter of hours and so far from what I could see it should be able to scale up to medium size apps nicely.
Ahem, I once delivered a program for an RS6000 and got the first access to that architecture at deployment time.
It ran instantly, all I did before was to develop the program on windows with a Sun JDK, test it on a IBM JDK on Linux which caused me to alter one line of code in about half a million LOCs this program had including all the libs I used and them Deploy it on a Power based multiprocessor RS6000 which I could not get access to.

Well you have to stop thinking for about one minute and 97 seconds before you fire up the command to start the JVM...
Very likely, it is very easy to make ajax ie only, you just have to forget the hooks which are needed for the rest of the browsers (aka the hooks to the ajax javascript object instead of the activex one from Microsoft):-)
Actually an excellent way to find out wheter the browser is standards compliant or not is to request the ajax object, if you can get it from javascript, you can be pretty sure, that the browser adheres to the rest of the W3C standards, if you only can get it via ActiveX then be careful:-)
Yes it can be fast and learn, newer cellphone vms are exactly that. I was there and I agree with the problem of the J2ME, but java is not to blame there, it is more the cellphone makers and the standardizers.
As for windows... system.exit does the job:-)
if you are in a server environment you have to trigger some kind of callback which roots into system exit after cleanup.
Not really, first of all, modern set top boxes can use pretty fast processors, secondly java comes in many flavors and often you dont even notice that java is in there.
There are myriads of digital vcrs and other set top boxes as well as cell phones which use java, depending on your memory footprint and speed you can go different routes on the java side of things, for the user it wont make that much of a difference compared to current solutions, because many of them embrace java already. But it makes things a lot easier for the app developers.
Java for pretty much all purposes which are needed on such devices is fast enough, because the entire codec process is not done in software anyway, and for rendering the ui, providing interactivity, embedded games etc... everything already has been in place for years.
The best example for this probably is the newer generations of cell phones which you can get in Europe and Asia.
Well first of all, the machine is probably open as a standard windows install, have you ever had a look at the home editions? User is rooted with full admin rights per default, full access to every aspect of hardware.
As for breaking hardware, the only case in Linux I am aware of is around two years old and affected one brand of cd burners....
And in the old days you could break monitors with wrong frequency settings over X, but that is a non issue with knoppix and modern monitors.
Correct me if I am wrong.
As for the rest, the user itself who pops in the CD does not breach his security, I trust openssh in that regard enough, the people who let him onto their machines basically break their security, which in probably all cases was non existent anyway!
It all comes down to trust, first of all, Knoppix does not write anything to the users hd per default.
Second, if you dont trust openssh and various other tools, you should probably stay away from computing at all, or do a manual code review yourself.
What the above user does is to pop in a knoppix CD and ssh to his computer, the only security I really see breached there compared to a standard linux distro is, that he has full access to the original machines filesystem, but that is excusable given windows lame default security settings, which are non existent.
If he leaves the cd in after the ssh session it is his problem, but I see no spyware related problem here as well.
10 years is nothing, if you go the public institutions way, storage times of 30-100 years have to be considered, and a file format which breaks after 5-6 years is a do not use it issue.
Actually the easiest way to break compatibility is via ole...
Also try some heavy formatting in between word versions, once the document becomes big enough, or long enough breaking between platforms is a no brainer.
Well, this guy obviously has a problem, if he ever said that, he basically ignores every research paper regarding MVC which has been written for the last 30 years, he also ignores the original intention of html being the a markup language, and he also ignores the mess the microsoft office division has pushed itself into with their doc format, by not doing markup-presentation splitting.
Actually Microsoft already often has broken document compatbility between versions. The classical example for this is to open a dos word document in anything newer wordish, also the breakages often happen on a minor scale, for instance word 97 docs which suddenly crash newer word versions (which often can be fixed by OO), missing layouts missing content etc...
Often the breakage even occurs between the mac and windows versions on the same version level.
As for the works example, this is not rally an excuse of not being the same word proc.
To my knowlege works in newer versions shares the same editing engine as word.
Shortcuts are not really covered by swing, some are, but it is mostly up to the programmer to do them.
As for native dialogs, yes, there are deficciencies in the way swing does the windows print and file dialogs, but those become less and less.
As for the other stuff, I run windows regularily, and basically 80% of the apps, come with some kind of skin. Even Microsoft basically pushes a new skin every year, so that every office version looks feels and behaves totally different than the one before.
But swing constantly gets the beating that it does not look totally like windows native, while 99% of all newer windows apps, come with a totally different skin per default and nobody bothers.
You still have not noticed after around 8 years of Swings existence, that Swing is skinnable since day one. Some skins are ugly, the native metal on pre 1.5, the GTK is god awful, but some are really beautiful, like the native skins on Windows which work on WinXP+, or the Plastik L&F, also Apple does an amazing job, there are a handful of really neat skins around in the wild.
Most programmers are just plain lazy and use the dreadful metal instead of switching it away.
Actually so far it is not like that, all the usability has been done so far in a sane manner.
The insanity of gnome is, that they applied usability for the most idiotic user and thus locking out one good power feature after the other.
KDE follows currently more the approach, make the common features more visible, change design weaknesses, but dont cut off the power user base (which is the core audience) by crippeling the programs. KPDF is the perfect example, it still has no feature lost, and so far is currently the best PDF reader, no matter which OS, there is currently no better one in existence.
That is what I would call applied usability in a sane way.
Gnome on the other hand, has lost many users, with its we dumb everything down for the idiots approach, because most of its users were not idiots, but they feel sort of locked in and crippled in their usage.
Davros was killed about five times in the series so far, I would not even think, that the timelords are gone forever.
One thing with Dr. Who is that the authors can do pretty much anything plotwise without having hordes of screaming fans at their door screaming, that they broke the prime directive:-)
Aw... not only football games, the brits basically are feared all over europe for violence after excessive drinking on holidays...
There seems to be something in the british gene which basically results in a violent mix, once you move them from the island and feed them alcohol. The funny thing is, that they manage to behave as long as they are on the island and are fed alcohol.

Ahem... the plot was taken straight out of several Kurosawa movies, the special effects I agree with you.
It is one of the worst movies ever which is actually good, the movie is cult and probably one of the most interesting movies ever film historywise, because it shows the last materials ever shot with Bela Lugosi.

With static imports in 5.0 that has been resolved once you have imported System out.println should be enough :-)
