Well, just for the record, wikimedia is very open about their server configurations, and (big surprise) they're LAMP solution is multiplexed across many machines. So, before you claim that a technology won't scale, you should make sure there's not a widely known example of its scalability.
Yes, people can make high traffic sites in PHP. Notice how those sites are incredibly simple, served almost entirely from cache, and could run off of a single machine instead of several dozen that would be required if it was written in Java.
If people can make high-traffic sites that run on a single machine, then why on earth would they want to add the complexity of making it run off of several machines? I fail to see how simplicity and ease of use are design flaws.
As we all know, MySQL databases and the PHP (Personal Home Page) language can't be used for building robust enterprise apps (there's not even an enterprise version of PHP). It baffles me to see people building largereliable websites with these technologies. I'm very tempted e-mail their webmasters and ask them how they are defying logic.
I'm not saying that the executive branch has any right to do what it is doing, just that the failure in the system has permeated all three branches of the government. My point is more along the lines that it's difficult to blame any single person or group for the meltdown of american "democracy".
Each of our branches of government is supposed to have specific and limited powers which are used in in part to further the common good and in part to keep the other branches from destroying our republican system
And although everyone here likes blaming the bush administration for everything, this particular issue was botched by the judicial branch, not the executive one.
AJAX and DHTML are terrible for writing web servers. That's why I write all of my web applications in javascript and XUL. It takes only a small amount of rdf to turn firefox into a full-featured web server, and the pages it serves are pretty much guaranteed to look good in any gecko-based browser. Though, every once and a while the server experiences problems when someone ignores the post-it-note on the monitor and starts using the it to read slashdot.
Sun has already started opening java. It's still loading the standard libraries into memory, but should print out "Hello, World!" any day now. Sorry it's taking so long, but the machine only has a gig of ram.

One two!

Technically, the artists now owe the RIAA money.

Security is not inherent to a platform or language. A brick house is no safer than a straw one if the door locks don't work.

I was joking, actually. If you remember correctly, the population didn't elect bush the first time.
Well, they were pretty much added to make the bill of rights an even 10.
And although everyone here likes blaming the bush administration for everything, this particular issue was botched by the judicial branch, not the executive one.
IANAL, but it probably makes more sense to ask someone who is a lawyer.
To be fair, we at least kept the freedom to re-elect bush.
What if I don't have enough dollars to elect a congressman?
It's a workaround.
There's... something... on... the WING!
troll, funny, or offtopic?
I'm in it for the glory.
Reading about this release is giving me a Woody!

Not if the EFF is smart and goes for the death penalty.
