I completely agree. As many bad client side java and tomcat projects as I have inherited I would looks for something else. Bad or no error messages (does it really take 50 lines to say which class failed). Can be slow if run interpreted so it can almost be multi-platform. I just don't see the appeal of java. Find something else that one of best in the business uses (like Google uses Python)
I mean, this is something Carmack is involved in right? I keep waiting the whole article to read the words "... from Hell". Like "Rocket Racers will use a BFG mounted on their rocket powered craft to stop demons escaping from Hell". But nothing. Oh well, maybe next one.
The telcom immunity blocks civil suits from being made. To be honest, I fully expect the telcos to let a couple of their employee sheep to get locked up in criminal trials with out even shedding a tear. However, if you hit the telcos with a $200 billion civil judgment for their bad behavior (and make sure they cannot weasel out of it) they will think twice before doing it again. No civil trials now. That is why Obama's vote for FISA and telecom immunity was so bad.
Seems like toll roads are just a waste of time, resources, and money. I hope more people continue to hack these systems and it becomes such a pain in the ass to keep them running that they start shutting them down and the companies that lobby the local governments go out of business. They could accomplish the same infrastructure with a gas tax and it would be less intrusive and more effective. Nobody wants more taxes, but it is really the best way to pay for these projects.
Yea, they even have lobbyists to make sure they get more prisons built. They are all about making money. There was an immigration prison in Texas that got shut down recently, because they were locking up whole families and not allowing access by lawyers so they could make a profit on each member of the family whether they could legally hold them or not.
Also, you may have lower intersection accidents from running red lights, but you will replace those with people slamming on their breaks trying to stop from going through a yellow light, because they are not sure if they are going to get a ticket. If they were really concerned about safety, they would just make yellow lights longer and that costs almost nothing.
Only problem is that it actually affects people try to travel. If the US Gov want to be idiots, fine. But if they want to do it in my name like I somehow want this, there is a problem. If they want to treat me like a criminal in my own country for trying to travel in it, I have a problem. If they want to seize my laptop for no reason because I am trying to travel, I have a problem.
I like the idea of having a fly at your own risk airline where you can just "risk it" and not have all these so called "protections". I bet it would put the airlines with the TSA out of business in a week.
Firefox remembers the state it was in when it has a problem and is restarted (or the computer is rebooted). Firefox has a bunch of useful plugins that I actually use and depend on. Firefox is fast. Ummmm, when exactly did the Vista comment start to make any sense to you?
Interesting to see Perl comparisons to C# or other languages that I would not consider to be replacements. I have always thought about software languages like tools in the toolbox and perl has always been a good language for processing text. If people are trying to use it for cad or who knows what else I have no sympathy for them. I have seen poorly written programs in every language and perl's text processing power puts it on par with doing stupid things in ANSI c pointers if you don't know what you are doing. You are never going to have power and idiot proof coding in the same language without sacrificing speed, leaky abstractions (look that up) or something else.
I would love to see the exact same story with his "evolving" position on giving telecoms immunity for spying on us. He voted for allowing it and he should change his position to oppose it and actively purse having this stopped.
Surprised all the events are not being reported won by the Chinese. I mean we all know how open and honest the Chinese Gov is. With them censoring what the journalists are reporting, I am surprised this is not the headline around the world.
Holy cow, what a great idea. In the complete originality and freshness of the idea, I think there should be an equally original and fresh idea for it's name. How about "dump terminal"?
And to continue the complaining about Cuil, I also hate their UI. I mean, when I look at results I don't want to have to scan top to bottom AND left to right. Google got this right in their UI, top to bottom is much easier for me.
You have not really been paying attention to many politicians have you. They are not rocket scientists and for example, not even smart enough to not tap their toe in the bathroom. They will try to get away with stuff and they will continue to get caught. Same as always. The only change will be to how badly they might damage the government in their attempts. I am glad there are still people trying to make sure they don't and I hope more help them.
Even if you loose every battle, a worth while cause is worth doing. Telecom immunity is a slap in the face to the United States. If you gave money to Obama, let me know how you feel about him voting for FISA by hitting him in the pocketbook. Ask for your campaign contribution back from Obama and give it to these guys or the ACLU, someone that is actually trying to represent you.
sequel, prequel, same idea over and over. Take a great script, novel, comic, story and have some unknown hack rip the guts out of it. There is never going to be great success from doing these things, but movie studios like the security of the earnings from something that produced profit before. That is not art. It is not even good business.
EA does this too with video games and now I will not buy anything that has EA on it as I know it will more than likely not be a good game.
When I read the story it caused me to think about watching court tv on more serious crimes. A number of killers who could careless about their victim sit in their chair with no emotion when hearing the gruesome details of their crime, but when they find out that they will have to spend the rest of their life in prison they bawl like a baby. It is a tragically what has happened to this family, but this guy had no regard for other people when he was sending spam so I wonder if this is how this guy worked too?
Man, bad move by those ISP's. Now anything being sent across their network can get them sued. Kiddie porn photo, sued. Illegal wire transfer, sued. I hope they get sued for every kind of illegal activity that is sent over their network. They just admitted they are responsible for it.
I cannot wait to get my ax handle or knife with a warning label and parental lock out control on it. You know it is coming after this. Guess I will have to mail order it from NY though. Anything for the children. Think of the children!
If they really wanted to protect children, they would ban things like stoves, weights, cars etc, because they can and do hurt children or enable the hurting of children. And they are not even just dirty pictures, real actual objects that in the right hands can hurt a child. To be safe a list should be made and all of these things banned no matter what the cost. Think of the children!

Yeah for fish paralyzer!

If the currency continues to fall against ... well everyone else, who cares if they take it away. It won't be worth much anyway.

Or whatever that Marketing driven, but poorly architected solution to a non-existent problem that Customers did not want (Passport).
