Is Java threatened in the nearby future by another language?
Yes - C# from Microsoft might pose a real threat to Java and make Sun redundant. By open sourcing it and have both IBM and Sun behind it, these two heavy-weights can compete with Microsoft. Besides it may take the wind out of Mono's sails.
I totally agree with you. I don't want a 5000 MHz Pentium (!) 4. Get me a 10 Watt computer with decent performance (~ 1GHz P3) and I would happily pay the same ammount of money for it.
New uses I have: my one web and file server without the ridiculous energy bill. Currently I find it too expensive to leave my computer online all day.
Not if you would start two operating systemes at the same time at boot-time. The first OS sits in seperate smaller RAM and checks the OS-operations from the OS in the second RAM-unit. The first OS periodicaly checks for new virus signatures etc.
For the protection of a mark the Benelux countries have a shared law called the "Benelux Trade Mark law".
A mark can be a name, drawing, print, a combination of a letter and a number, a shape or the packaging of a good or any other sign. It is required that the marks serves to distinguish the goods from an undertaking. The rights to the marks lapses when the registration is crossed-out, the term expires, and when the trademark is not used. The term of a trademark is ten years from the date of registration, and the term can be prolonged indefinitely with periods of ten years.
In the Netherlands its implementation is called the Handelsnaamwet. It rules the uses of a trade name, which is the name under wich an undertaking is conducted.
It forbids 1) using a trade mark that, in contrast with the truth, suggests that the udnertaking belongs at least partly to someone else; 2) using a trade name that wrongly indicates that the undertaking would belong to one or more persons that act as a legal person, such as a firm; 3) using a trade name that is already used legally by someone else; and 4) using a trade name that gives an incorrect impression of the undertaking and that consequently misleads the public. To my understanding both 1 and 4 are being used by the dutch judge to judge as it did.

You are wrong about not having to use the command line. I agree with your intend that you should not have to touch it for normal desktop uses, but beyond that it's about *enabling* users. If they want to learn, why stop them.
This is where current Linux desktops differ from Windows. In Windows you can't really expand your knowledge beyond the GUI. The underlying system is hidden for normal users, whereas in *nix you can really explore it. Don't hide the CLI, enable it for those that need it.
You haven't paying attention at physics class, even the so called 'stable' elements show a certain amount of 'decay'.
p.s. I guess the fall-out here is the other OSs;-)
Can it also certify the PDF files, something that is a must if it is to be used by corporations or publishers. They need to have this to get something printed by a printing office.
Dijkstra was the 1972 recipient of the ACM Turing Award, often viewed as the Nobel Prize for computing. He was a member of the Netherlands Royal Academy of Arts and Sciences, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and a Distinguished Fellow of the British Computer Society. He received the 1974 AFIPS Harry Goode Award, the 1982 IEEE Computer Pioneer Award, and the 1989 ACM SIGCSE Award for Outstanding Contributions to Computer Science Education. Athens University of Economics awarded him an honorary doctorate in 2001. In 2002, the C&C Foundation of Japan recognized Dijkstra "for his pioneering contributions to the establishment of the scientific basis for computer software through creative research in basic software theory, algorithm theory, structured programming, and semaphores".

So at this point, I pretty much had my hardware working as best it could under linux. I started getting out to get some applications going under linux. I needed some audio editing, video editing I started poking around and found some stuff that looks sweet.
The US themself have treathened Germany-based Bayer Corp after 11/9 for not giving a cheap offer on Anthrax-fixing stuff. They threathened to bypass the patent granted to Bayer, because the "need was high". I think the argument can be made for African countries, where about 20-60 percent is infected with HIV.

This this does not stop innovation, it simply means that you have a standard look. Innovation -- even when the two project would merge -- can still happen in a different tree of the developement tree.
Think of the Linux-kernel. There is a stable kernel, where only updates are done and innovation is done in a developement-tree.
GUI-developement is no different. You could have proposals on a website where people can vote for a certain look&feel. This may lead to evolution, but *does not* eliminate innovation.

Where have you been for the last 5 years?
At first I read:
"Isn't that a cracker from LOTR"
He *is* a student you know.
It was originally linked from this website, but I can't find it anymore ;-(

I bet you have never heard of an "estimated guess" then?
I guess this depends on the 'matrix' you live in ...
Suppose I do https and not http? All webcontent then suddenly is encrypted ...
Maybe it's time for another Tao of Linux?
Never heard of apt4rpm (apt4rpm.sourceforge.net)?
It's real sweet
