Java is (to me) a neutral issue. What's truly alarming is Oracle's treating of every ecosystem it comes upon as gold to be mined. Not *everything* in the world is a Larry Ellison piggy bank.
That some veterans exhibit a strong sense of morality and liberty is seen as a threat, even a crime by the current administration. Doublespeak has become the lingua franca of our "fundamentally changed" America.
So, as a veteran I have to keep my political discourse on the liberal side, especially if I own firearms? I'd like my old country back now please. No, really..
Speed: Just about any 4-socket or larger x86 box can keep up with a mid-size mainframe on pure compute tasks. Availability: Mainframes are not even in the top tier of availability - HP NonStop is (IDC AL4). IO: Large UNIX systems and some others can keep up or beat mainframes at the IO game. How many MF systems have NVRAM cache? SW: The only reason to keep feeding a mainframe is that you have SW that *only* runs on one.
Add the new Iranian time machine announced today (really, see http://gizmodo.com/5994334/oh-yes-an-iranian-scientist-has-invented-a-time-machine-so-he-says) and you can get very close to omniscience, if not omnipotence. Add to that their new jet 'stealth fighter' and it's not hard to see someone is just thinking shit up to impress Crazy Pants and keep the ministry of weird shit busy.
So, how does the person(s) monitoring this know how *I* learn? Lots of learning and reading styles out there, this is just an effort to give them another meaningless metric to rate students on. Bah.
Cisco *invented* this particular game in the networking industry. How else could they charge premium prices for commodity gear running community standards all these years? They stand to loose their shirt.
Despite the distractions, Autonomy has some real promise in the 'unstructured data' world. What remains to be seen is how well HP can integrate the bits into their other products. Oracle disses the acquisition but doesn't have a comparable product.
I'd like to see a system where graduates could seek financial redress from the university they graduated from if they can't find work after say, 2 years of looking. Why not have the USG seek repayment directly from the school in that case for the federally backed loans given to so many students? Schools would change overnight and they'd focus on 'hirable' graduates PDQ.
Calling the T5 "the world's fastest microprocessor" is akin to saying 1000 lawnmowers is "the world's largest engine." Oracle has optimized SPARC for a 20th Century workload. Time to move on Larry, the rest of the world has.
Camera makers have dealt with this in the US by making grey market items ineligible for US-based service. Not a major factor with books, but certainly a factor with lots of other grey market items. Many companies use this as a way to enforce higher US prices, as they argue the US warranty justifies the higher US price.
The FCC (Uncle Charlie) is really struggling these days. Their structure dates back to 1934 and the combination of ever-faster-changing-technology and scope creep has simply overwhelmed them. Only the fact that the ITU is worse keeps them in business.
Just say no. I've lived without it on the client side for almost 2 years. On the server side, it's only the JVM that's of any use and using the java language on it is now totally optional. The raft of JVM languages means total portability and architectural freedom without being tied to the language.
Stand back everyone! His head might implode if there's a hairline crack in his skull.. Just another stupid politician elected for his looks and how loud he can talk. Happens on both sides of the aisle these days. How about a Constitutional Amendment requiring all political candidates to pass a HS exit exam before they can be on a ballot?

Windows 8 is about as functional as Vista as well. Pretty low bar. If folks had a choice Windows 8 would simply die.
..and in the second year of the invasion, all Internet commerce ground to a halt - stranding most earthlings in their home-offices to starve.

Make one that erases the passage of time then make a movie about it.

Prenda; giving patent trolls a bad name. Man, that's saying something..
This should be renamed "the tax auditor full employment act of 2013." The only folks who will like it are CPAs and the IRS.
Larry kills another one. Are there any "open" OSS projects left at Oracle?

Windows is bad enough, but Windows + Ballmer is a disaster. MS could save itself with some new management.

Ideally, yes. Also applicable for grey market items in many areas and markets. The world just got a little flatter.
If you can't open/unlock/reprogram it, you don't own it.
Kill the US economy and emissions go down. Shocking.

Waiting for the inevitable Apple patent filing claiming no prior art to telling time, knowing the time and alarm clocks. FSCK Apple.
