naa, the advantage of using AOL is the perceived customer support. I thought MCI tought us years ago that large ISPs couldn't provide anywhere near the support of small ISPs. But some don't learn.
Man, I been hearing this phrase for about 10 years now. At first I thought I would pick up the meaning like any slang term I did in my youth (ebonics).
It never happened. Finally I realize its because nobody knows what the hell it means and just throws it in wherever...
Yea, I heard this claim probably 6 months ago. 'Software' algorithms could compensate for the effects of the atmosphere. (probably by using data gather by Hubble)
I'd be more than willing to pay for this if they would offer a money back refund.
but his point is not about distribution. His point is that the derived code belongs to the deriver, and can not be appropriated in the name of the GPL because the GPL lets him keep it.
The point is, if he distributes the work, then the source must become available and useable. If he does not, then the source is his own.
The consumers do have a certain expectation about technology. If a CD fits into it, they think its a CD player. If it don't play, they think its broken.
Pretty simple.
In my experience, people expect more from their high tech devices that they don't understand, not less.
Or Jesus of Nazareth "We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands."
probably because a conventional explosion of that magnitude would be near the practical end of deliverability in a missile. But a nuclear explosion could be ratcheted up much easier.
How about, send messages from one time reference to another? The part I dont get is how anything can cross time references without making up the difference?
The current solid state storage technologies are optimized for cost not use cycles. So while they can take enormous number of reads, they have limited number of writes. This is probably why the palm pilot does not have a replaceable battery. When the battery is dead the life of the ROM is probably over as well.
If you get a flash drive/pen drive/ whatever, don't presume to use it like a harddrive. You will kill it within the year.
Another point i wanted to add is that Netbeans and Eclipse have both botched their GC behaviors. Both seeming to hope the JVM creaters magically create a awesome Garbage collector.
But sun has stated that this is not possible because the JVM can not know what the app or user is really doing and that running the GC should be handled by the application.
For me, its obvious. You run the GC in a seperate thread when all other tasks are idle. If you do not the JVM will run the GC when it gets full and bring your app to a screatching halt! Or you can do what server mode does and run the GC all the time slowing down your app all the time.
Bad decisions makes bad performance. Why Sun cant write an app to take into account the philocophy of GC of their JVM is beyond me...
Platform independence is not a load of crap. Its a Job that somebody has to do. And in the case of Java that somebody is Sun, or whoever writes youu JVM. So while you may have to make some allowances, using Java simply means you have a whole team of people working to make the JVM itself cross platform, and you can easily piggy-back on that effort. Or you can roll your own in another language. Choice is yours.
I'll take CLASSPATH over header files _ANY_ day. Sure, both are just as workable, but I find CLASSPATH issues easier to diagnose than header ones, especially in libraries.
I can NOT disagree with you where the Java versioning is concerned. Sun is FOS. They publicly claim backward compatability, but when you submit your bug report and ask how in the hell its backward compatible with this altered behavior, don't expect a response...
When they say backward compatable they mean the specifications. But they completely ignore the ongoing deviations.
Let us also not forget that Java JVMs are written in C or C++ or objective C or whatever you like, so the whole Java vs. C speed comparison is illogical.

You have to love a system that requires downtime as part of uptime.
Yea, i gotta go through 4-5 hours of downtime every day. And I'm only getting worse...

I see a lot of merchants using yahoo for their transactions. Maybe this is aol trying to get into the same.
Also I know Ford uses this technology for remote logins.

oh, then whats a monologue?

i think he was suggesting that since they intend to block both illegal and legal copying, anti-piracy is not the right term.
Since they offered $5000 for it? LOL

naa, what this will do is ensure only major companies can ever comply with the regulations to run p2p networks. Thus squeezing out the little guy.
Then come the advertisements and fees.
I guess we can also blame it on the media that you think of Nader as the 3rd party candidate.
I was under the impression he was running as an independent. Ignoring his former party the Green Party, and running even against their candidate.
Its kind of like a woman walking down the street naked and me receiving a ticket for being a peeping tom.
I think its silly to ask the law to do something that you can do yourself quite easily.
XM is not in any position to expend any amount of money on law suits or even legal wrangling. They will probably revisit this 5 years out...
Did they ever hang that new satellite?
because the speed of light is the speed of time?

there is a java compiler. you can analyze the java byte codes produced.
with c you have to worry about the OS and the CPU, with java you have to worry about the JVM. same difference.

Typically any slowness has been tied to poor garbage collector usage, and/or poor understanding of Swing.
I believe Java 'appears' so easy to write in, it entices people to write apps that really do not know what they are doing.
Apps I have written in Java going back about 8 years have run just fine and have had no speed issues.
New Java versions are bringing speed because they have improved GC behaviors, but still people need to write good code.

Actually, Java can be just as fast as C or C++ code in the right situations.
Java is exactly as fast as C or C++ because its JVMs are written in C or C++.
Its like arguing that assembly is faster than C. Its not because they are not comparable.
Let us also not forget that Java JVMs are written in C or C++ or objective C or whatever you like, so the whole Java vs. C speed comparison is illogical.
me 2. but my number was stolen through the lax security of Yahoo mail which i had switched my email address too.
yahoo nor icq could give a rats ass either, and they both threatened me and told me not to mail them. Rude loosers. Thats when I stopped using it.
