Motorola's gonna be rolling out their next-gen STB soon, I have a good feeling that it will overwhelm Invidi in the OEM STB market regardless of whatever features Invidi wants to include.
Inertia and reputation, it will take you far in business.
When someone tells you that they hate you, you have two responses that can work.
1) Say, "Oh, why do you hate me?" or 2) say, "Fuck you".
It's a gross generalization to say that the rest of the world hates Americans. I would wager that most of the world doesn't have a conscious opinion one way or the other. The vocal group of people who go on and on about how bad Americans are really don't deserve the first response.
You can only use it if you aren't planning on using it in a business setting.
The DeathRow OpenVMS Cluster operates under the hobbyist program. If you intend to use these reasources for commerical reasons (for example: porting commercial code, or running a company web page), you will be removed. This would violate our hobbyist agreement/license, and we can't afford to let that happen.
Not so. The system only has to be compromised on the rc side to have a network-wide effect.
They are leaving a hole in the system that says to the world "Your wish is my command". *Any* rc client will be able to access *all* rcd servers on the network.
You may believe the system's airtight, but people who hold that belief are often proved wrong.
No, because the devices won't necessarily need the web to communicate. What with all the DRM crap that's going on now, it's possible that a largescale segregation of devices will happen resulting in mini networks of devices that only interact with devices from the same manufacturer. The future doesn't lean towards openness.
your statement assumed that software written in a particular language must be available in a retail store for the language to be alive. That simply isn't so
Perhaps my statement was overly broad, but it did draw out some good criticism.
The point that I was getting at is that Java the language is fine and in use all over the place, but as a technology it has failed on the desktop (it thrives elsewhere). The fact that you can buy JBuilder, which is written in Java, means something. It means that it was meant to be used across platforms, from Windows to Solaris. Internal Java programs don't have the requirement, generally, that they must run cross-platform. They run on the system they were designed for and that's it.
Got any hard numbers to back up your big talk? So far there's been one product named that's useful across multiple platforms. Everything else that's been mentioned has been internal use only and those certainly don't need to be cross platform.
I'll toss out another one for you. JBuilder is written in Java and useful across multiple platforms. Got any more?
I'm sure everyone and their brother putting stupid Java animations on their website and generally bringing poor 28.8 modems to a grinding halt had nothing to do with its poor reception.
I believe that Lamarck was the first to postulate Evolution in the sense that we are familiar with it now. Namely, that if a trait is beneficial to a species that it will be passed on from generation to the next.
Were the voices imitating her voice when she complains that someone let him out of the asylum (or escaped, I couldn't hear it that well)?
I guess that's the point, you lose the ability to discern the real from the 'imagined'.
Mommas, don't let your babies grow up w/o quarters

Isn't saving quarters one of those things that you do in college that you can tell stories about later? How you ran to the student center to get change in your wet clothes becuase you didn't plan on running out of quarters before you could start the dryer...
With credit cards, it all seems too easy and boring.

Earth rocks don't have little labels on them saying "Moon Rock", though.

Many LCD monitors have tough screens that can take a cleaning.
I suggest ditching your old monitors (and whatever laptops they may be attached to) and buying some newer technology.
Don't forget to back up important files, though.

Captain Planet, he's the man
Leading the charge, Earth's number 1 fan!
Check him out, you're gonna see
He's the Mega-mac Daddy of ecology!
Cap's the hero with the gumption
Takes on the "overs," population and consumption
Yeah, he could use a better groomer
Some people say he's got a bad sense of humor
"I'm baaaaaack!"
But when Eco-Villains run amok
Plundering and pillaging, Yuck!
Cap's here to level the playing field
With a Ph. D in sustainable yield
But he's not the only hero for Earth
Gaia's wisdom gave the Planeteers birth
Wheeler's the Fire
Ma-ti's go Heart
Gi's got the power to make Waters part
Kwame's rockin' with element Earth
Linka uses Wind for all she's worth
But still Greedlys and Blights trash our planet
It's up to us to say, "We won't stand it!"
Raise your voice and challenge your peers
Say it's way cool to be Planeteers!
"The Power is Yours!"
Maybe you saw 'OpenVMS' and thought it was Open Source?
Can't speak for the AC, but I did. Thanks for pointing that out.
That is one ugly sub-SUV. The newer Rav4s look so much better.
Is the issue with Kei cars a safety one? Why don't they appear in the U.S.?

So, it's useless as a replacement for anything.

Everything else requires a modicum of face to face interaction.
Not so. The system only has to be compromised on the rc side to have a network-wide effect.

You may believe the system's airtight, but people who hold that belief are often proved wrong.
A system imaging tool like Norton Ghost may be what you're looking for.
Sounds like an invitation to find the vulnerability.
Like web services?
No, because the devices won't necessarily need the web to communicate. What with all the DRM crap that's going on now, it's possible that a largescale segregation of devices will happen resulting in mini networks of devices that only interact with devices from the same manufacturer. The future doesn't lean towards openness.
You can buy the autopr0n.com [autopr0n.com] pr0n viewer App* from me for the low, low price of US$10,000.
Too rich for me, I'll stick with clicking on the links.

One place that no one in this thread has mentioned where Java is really useful is in web apps for stock market trading or online banking.
Small, transient applications like those are very handy and ubiquitous.

So what you're saying is that Java is a niche programming language and not some cure-all omniplatform technology.
I can buy that.
But then, why does the founder of the Java Lobby disagree with you and say that Java is dead on the client?
Name 10 applications written in Java that can be bought at the store.
Yes, Java is dead on the client.
Sorry about that.
