cool - so can the iraqi population expect a handful of american gi's be extradited for trial in bagdad for crimes against humanity ???
or maybe torture is just not a big enough crime, compared to leeching music over the internet...
a "covert computer" is the type of box you'd be laughed at by slashdot users - so you hide it in your basement. or in a basement at quantico
you "infiltrate" by booting up windows xp on said covert computer and using a fake ID and anon email address when logging into p2p networks... dodgy business, this...
i won't. all my C programs are so fast already, if i upgrade gcc, all i'll be able to see is the vapor trail in my syslog. and since i'm apparently not very cool, i like to sip hot coffee and actually watch what the application is doing;-)
let others read the realtime matrix
the question at hand: why would you want to write an OS in java? why would you want to write an n-tier web app in C?
programming languages are usually specific to a problem domain, where they should stay. i'll grant you that it's possible to write webapps with C, but I'd just love to watch you sit at it and curse. or is that ncurse for the C-fetishists???:-)
overheard in a recent board meeting (industry to be neglected):
CEO: we need to get this mission-critical system up and running - any suggestions
exec1: yeah, we can get a bunch of really cool geeks to code it up for us - it'll be the coolest massive system on earth - probably a clump of C++ includes and binaries that we can never migrate to a more modern architecture or OS. Alternatively, we can do it in just 2 or 3 lines of Perl. nobody will ever be able to maintain it, but heck - how cool are we gonna be?
exec2: or we might use an industry standard and use EJB's to hook in all our legacy systems and deploy them as web services - it'll be scalable, maintainable and complies to said standard - but it's no cool at all
CEO: if you wanna be cool, go buy yourself a surfboard. do it in java...
i don't get it - reading all these comments about "java is too slow, java uses too much memory" - one must thing everyone's got a real-time airline cargo logistics system running on their box. or, their box is too old and too slow... embrace change and step through the gigahertz barrier, people;-)
... and that's just the under-educated, self-centred, ignorant-towards-the-world-you-live-in kind of bullshit the world has to take from the americans.
quod erat demonstrandum -- thanks for that
isn't it cute how men get caught up in their toys?:-)
i'm not a fan of webLogic, and before alext runs me up against the wall, YES, i have worked with BEA and JBoss.
as with everything in this get-exactly-what-you-need-world, there's a solution for every type of problem.
why do people like JBoss? because it's stable enough to work, and free enough to be affordable.
why do people like BEA? because of the reasons you mentioned.
without products like JBoss, and the often-flamed open source software products, many, many people still wouldn't even know what a webapp deployment descriptor even is.
the key to making new technologies work is to spread them, and WebLogic has never been good at that -- BEA used to be nothing but a transaction monitor, and has been turned into an application server, whereas JBoss was always meant to be, what it is.

i wonder how much taxpayers' money is wasted on staff for politicians like ashcroft to write up lines like "permission to pilfer" - come on!!!

you just stepped on your arguments from the original posting... thanks for that ;-)
that may be the reason web-based applications don't really kick off - it requires customers to have a browser installed...

wouldn't most people rather have their clients wait a marginal amount of time longer knowing that this will get them a properly served JSP?!
