I will not support a protocol where all packets are not created equal. I wish to be treated with respect, not my game of quake slowed to a crawl because its deemed unessential. I fail to see the need.
although a bit more address space would do nicely...
Actually the Terrorists gave specific reasons for why they did what they did. They usually do. I prefer not to ignore their reasoning wether true or not. It at least deserves thought if one is true about his intention to protect the people. When terrorists scream that they did X because of Y, then my protector ignores what they say and says they did it because of some other reason, I question his ability and his desire to protect me.
how does a loan introduce money if it is payed back? I guess it introduces money when its defaulted?

You seem sharp on these issues so I hope this is my chance to get some free education:D
How does one simply print money? Especially if money is a bank owned thing. I had the idea that Money was like stock in the US Government and the US could print more, but that devalued the existing.
1. Exactly how does new money make it into the market? They cant just give it away right?
2. If the banks are private, and the gov't is not 'backing' the money, again, how can the gov't print more and how do they distribute it?
Comcast bans VPN. Personally banning things that are not a burdon to the network should be illegal, but of course since its a private network, they can do as they please.
I sincerely hope they keep removing things. The internet is something we can bring ourselves. I think its time for the people to be the government as it was always intended and do more like seattlewireless and houstonwireless and those wireless groups in Australia, etc...
Have to agree mostly but disagree that socialism does not experience problems with greed. Its more often from socialist governments whereas in US its from corporations AND the government.
Jealousy and ignorance? Modern world? You don't really believe that do you? Several people kill themselves because of jealousy and ignorance. America is modern because of what?
That itself is an ignorant statement. (cults notwithstanding)

Their is a tough contradiction in there. In a cashless society, how does one trade?
You know it is illegal to 'trade' items in America? You may ONLY use cash or some form on money. You may not give me 2 sheep for 1 cow, legally.
So if we go cashless, then how do people perform trades without accounts???
Actually "will not fix" means exactly that it won't be fixed in whatever edition the bug was filed against. Their is no "fix in next major release" selection. So you are incorrect there.
Well perhaps I am actually on page with the article writer then because I agree that 1.1 and 1.2 are not compatable, so would every other programmer in the Java world know this. But I dont agree that 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 would be incompatible. Sun has been consistent in this perhaps 'inconsistency' so It has not been an issue with me. But he is correct in his specific claim I guess, but its a technicality to me.
write once run everywhere NEVER meant on any VM. For a Java programmer the VM _is_ the platform. Once you get it running in the VM you get the ability to run on any platform the VM runs on. Java programmers know this. It is acceptable.
I disagree that you have to test the same VM on windows and then again on Linux. Ofcourse we do, but the BULK of then load of compatibility is on the VM writer, not the application writer. And Java programmers know that for file system issues, and non-default window UI issues you need extra testing.
Sorry, my fault for assuming an idiot has any knowledge. He called Python a scripting language, I personally know nothing about it. But I do know what scripting language means...
seems like if necessary you could launch the rope downward with a propellant. Further you could deploy a geo-stationary platform for this purpose. Of course their are issue. But seems less than trying to build a rigid body to stick into space.
Uhh what? Specifically wi-fi is in "unlicensed" spectrum so which license are you referring to pulling?
Yes you must meet FCC regulations, but This does not affect existing equipment AFAIK which makes the article just plain meaningless. Again I reiterate their is no way wi-fi can be singled out, their are MANY more cordless telephones in 2GHz range than their are wi-fi units, and their will be in 5GHz as well...
I completely disagree. Java's strength is because it specifically does NOT allow procedural hacks.
That ability would allow certain programmers to take short cuts on projects, then as they invariably do when the project is blown to hell, leave the company and toss the burdeon on someone else.
In Java I never fear running into the garbage I see in c and c++. Yes you can write clean code in any language, but its nicer when you are forced to do it more often.
So I disagree that the ability to do proceural hacks is a bonus.
Anyone that compares a scripting languate (python) to a full programming language that also as a VM has no clue. a scripting language has minimal overhead memory requirements because it does not have much of a memory management job to do.
Complaining about 'will not fix' items on an older JRE is dumb as their must be SOME reason for the 1.4. If everything could have been fixed in 1.3.1, it would have been 1.3.2.
Further I personally was told not to rely on the "sun" classes as they change. The article writer suggest that each release of the JRE causes classes to be dropped and added. I have NEVER experienced this and its a violation of SUN's stated practice.
"4. It is not backward-compatible across minor releases." Then this fool goes and compares 1.3 to 1.4 or 1.1 to 1.2 as IF those are minor releases. (anyone that uses java knows the 3rd digit has been the minor one) The 2nd number has so far been treated majorly by Sun's releases and I would NEVER call 1.2 or 1.3 or 1.4 a minor release, they have years between them.
As for large footprints, I stopped complaining about even M$ abuse of memory after the price came down so much. Just go buy some more. Its a valid issue, but I wouldn't mark it as worth of writing a letter.
Finally I'd like to ask why none of his bug numbers appear in the Java BugDatabase on the javasoft website http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/b ugParade/ index.jshtml
I completely disagree. The final outcome is very much less important that how we arrived at it. We call ourselves a Nation of Laws. The Supreme Court violated that.
Gore should have had some damn balls. 1/2 the dang nation voted for his bug. He did not deserve it the way he quit.
makes since the copyright holder can assing any License they desire at any time they desire. that could end any court action that he might bring and waste a lot of time and money.

The task you specified is taxing on the harddrive not the CPU. Not many harddrives can handle an uncompressed video stream...in real time.
Not quite. I'd say he is a wimp for posting on slashdot at 7pm Sunday night ;D

Checks...I was told a bank can post date a check, but its illegal for me to do so by my bank.
I was quite agitated.

I'm skeptical of this letters validity.

If they ARE the law, then youd think they would abide it. Maybe Im asking too much.
If i had know it was an AC post I wouldn't have read the damn thing...
Why not just drop a big ass rope off the space station?

For the English language challenged, Linux would be a "knock-off" not a rip-off.
