Java isn't going anywhere for a while. It is a fantastic language for large scale projects simply because its very easy to write maintainable code AND its buzzword compliant. That latter fact alone will keep it afloat years after it is truly dead.
Don't get me wrong, I love Python and I have really high hopes for it in the coming years, but to declare that "enthusiasts" have left Java, seems silly
I always questioned the decision to cancel Futurama, it just seemed so...neutral. I wondered what made them do it. Lust for gold? Power? Perhaps they were all just born with a heart full of neutrality.
Either way, I'd be happy if they brought it back. I do wonder what the new episodes would be like though. The last episode kind of "wrapped" up the series.
.So for $2.500.000 each, they^H^H^H^H everyone will get access to the brightest ideas concerning the internet in the next 5 years... Is it just me or is that the bargain of the century?
Its not the technology, its the implementation that causes those errors. You can misuse ANY technology to f things up. Why should this be any different?
The 38-year-old French patient from the northern French town of Valenciennes underwent extensive counselling before her operation, which is believed to have lasted at least five hours...
While we're on the topic of HTPC enclosures, does anyone know of a company that sells pre-built MythTV boxes? Or would anyone like to volunteer? I'm in the market for one but I really don't want to spend a lot of time getting the hardware to work right.
I think the role of languages that don't rely on a specific platform will become much more important in the future. I write my software in Python and it works wherever Python works (well, not really thanks to GTK+, but its getting there!). As these languages and toolkits mature, I think we'll start to see less of a dependence on the OS
Ahh nerd porn. While the rest of the world is looking at leaked photos of Janet Jackson or Paris Hilton, we're looking at photos of AMDs new processor.
Is there an online version? This seems like the type of thing I'd do on my lunch break or when I need a diversion. Something along the lines of the Python Challenge, would be cool. To me, it seems more natural to do these puzzles in soft form.
RFID chips, including the ones specified for U.S. passports, can still be uniquely identified by their radio behavior. Specifically, these chips have a unique identification number used for collision avoidance. It's how the chips avoid communications problems if you put a bagful of them next to a reader. This is something buried deep within the chip, and has nothing to do with the data or application on the chip.
Ok, so it has a unique ID on it but it doesn't appear that the ID is tied to you or the data. FUD?
Did you read the article? It explicitly states that the UK has a special task force/department for these types of crimes and the investigations get referred there.
Technical slip aside (256bit 3DES?), to those who are complaining about the length of time needed to "crack" passwords or keys, I refer you to this past Slashdot article. Basically they can use information about the suspect to drastically reduce the time it takes to break a key.
Thanks. I looked into wxWidgets but decided that GTK was a slightly better choice. Both have their faults, GTK just integrated better with a library that I happen to be using.
GUI aside, I still need to test other components and I don't have or care to shell out for a developer "kit." I guess I'm SOL

If you count all the spiffy Greasemonkey extensions in firefox for Gmail
Like what? I'm genuinely curious.

Fixed that for you.
From TFA: ...the lab plans to develop an array of Web-based software services that will be given away to anyone who wants it.
Thanks for playing though.
Seconded.
I'm reading Head First Design Patterns now and it is a joy to read.

What are the technical details? Platforms? What apis are available? In what language?
Hehe, reminds me of The Onions article about five razor blades vs four.. Interesting that they wrotes this WELL before a 5-blade razor ever came out

From the no hyperbole dept..
Any chance the Catholic Church was behind this?
I'll be here all week.

So what stage are at in the Apple Product Cycle? My money is on Stage 2.
Its not limited to AOL Software. I received the messages/group on Gaim as well.
I believe US-CERT falls under DHS
Who wants to play Name That Logical Fallacy?
