  2. Why do colleges proselytize with java? on Will Sun's Java Go Open Source? · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Why not python also ? PHP ?

    I know electrical engineering classes uses java but I don't get being forced to learn one language.

    With all the languages shouldn't there be some choice.

    I doubt your electricity comes purely from private sources without any government oversight.

    Our electric company is a private electric utility but their rates are controlled by the government because there aren't enough competitors. I view this comparable to the broadband situation.

    I think high speed should be incorporated there with water and electrical .

    We shouldn't have handed sole control to private monopolies like the Bells.

    You might as well look at the performance benchmarks too while your at it.

    I think their idea is superb. And i do not work for them.

    Rewriting drivers for each operating system is a pain in the ass.

    We have plug and play hardware. We also need it for software.

    It's a good start if you ask me.

    Did you understand what Scitech has done with SNAP ?

    Your clueless.

    They use something like a virtual machine thats FAST so a programmer only needs ONE driver to run on all operating systems.

    Would be software that would work on all operating systems without having to have source code and compiling.

    Would be nice if there were one standard for GUI and software interoperability for all operating systems.

    You could then use your favorite software on any new operating system. Makes the move easier.

    Emulators and java just don't do it for me.

    Why isn't something like this possible. Instead of having to rewrite software , have a another program that can match hooks into a new operatin system. Kind of like a plug and play software .

    Scitech Snap plug and play. Build one driver that works on all operating systems.

  18. Notice that they don't call it FTTH on Verizon: FiOS Access For Other ISPs in the Works · · Score: 0, Troll

    If they named it FTTH then you would expect the appropriate speeds . I am talking 100 megabits/sec. Are they trying to 'dupe' rich middle class internet users ? I think so.

    Extremetech article on Verizon's $ 44.95/month , 15mbits . And $39.95 for 5megabits/sec downloads.

    Is this comparable to FTTH,Fiber To The Home ? Nope.

    Thats why we need to keep 'PUBLIC SUPPORT' for 'Municpal FTTH' which is real broadboand and not the name hijacked variety.

  19. Lawsuit settlement against JAIN is peanuts. on Dot Con: How Infospace Took Investors For A Ride · · Score: 1

    The federal class-action suit was settled last year for $34.3 million.

    In December, Jain and more than a dozen key InfoSpace officials settled the Dreiling lawsuit, with Jain agreeing to pay $3 million. Others are paying $3.4 million. InfoSpace's insurance, covering executive misdeeds, is paying up to $43 million to settle outstanding lawsuits.

    As part of the settlement, Dreiling, Jain and the former InfoSpace executives signed confidentiality agreements and will not comment.


    That's it. What bullshit. Didn't he make hundreds of millions ?

  20. Another way to share files. Legally. on RIAA Lawsuits from a John Doe's Perspective · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's called the LIBRARY. I know they don't have all the movies or songs but that could change with a little more funding. If we could also 'UNITE' the libraries through internet networking then we could also download or the library could download hard to find movies or songs.

    One point on the Riaa lawsuits . Is it really like breaking into BEST BUY and stealing CDs' and movies ? Aren't these MP3's,Camcorder tapings, Divix, AVI and Mpegs just average to bad copies. If so then how could it be counted as theft ? Shouldn't there be a consideration to quality. Wouldn't you equate this to recording RADIO with tape ?
