Or we could just use a giant magnifying lens to focus the sun's rays onto a single location. It's slightly more environmentally friendly than nuking a whole planet.
Perhaps you should have researched the phone before buying it. Hell, you could've read one of the dozens of articles here on slashdot with the words "iPhone" and "lock" in the title.
I didn't buy the damn thing to show it off.
So, you bought an iPhone hoping to use dozens of features that it doesn't support, but don't want it for the one thing it is good at?
I guess I don't see the point in using a bunch of complicated software to write a bunch of complicated code. It seems to make a lot more sense to use a language that allows you to write less code. A small amount of abstract code that solves the problem in a meaningful way seems like it will certainly be easier to read than 10x as much poorly abstracted code generated by some bloated editor.
Why exactly can't you use agile methodologies with Java?
You can try to be agile, but Java doesn't really lend itself to rapid development. If you compare a programming task in Java to the same task in Ruby or Python, you'll invariably find that it takes more lines of code in Java. I don't mean a few lines, I mean an order of magnitude (even more if you include all of the XML that whatever Java framwork you are using requires).
It takes more time to write all of that extra code. It takes more time to debug more code (more places for bugs to hide). And this volume of code isn't just from static typing and an overly verbose syntax; it's caused by a fundamental inability to support more than 1 abstraction.
I'm not saying you can't use agile development with Java, I'm just saying that you can't be as agile with Java.
These linear political spectrums are not only stupid, their single dimensionality eradicate way too many variables to reduce someone's position arbitrarily on the line.
Yes, adding a whole dimension only confuses the matter. We really should be looking at what position each candidate holds on the point.
Slashdot Mirror
At some point during the day, the electric company will speed up or slow down the frequency to ensure the proper number of cycles/day.
You're not supposed to eat the birkenstocks.
We're not the ones with a decade of bullshit promises that we've never delivered on.
You're thinking of Will Wright. The DNF team has been making promises for more than a decade.

This audience uses K for thousand
No, we use K for 2**10, which is 1024, not 1000.
It means that a planet made of rust has an oxidizing agent in the soil. I could've told you that without going to mars.
They built a robotic cougar. Everyone thought it was real and locked themselves indoors.
Also, I need utility from my phone;

But a murderer gets euthanized, like a beloved pet is put down.
I've long been an advocate of bringing back crucifixion.
I want murderers to spend the rest of their lives horribly and end horribly.
Me too!
Seriously dude, how did you managed to get modded troll on this of all threads?
or a flavor of linux
Melon-flavored linux.
"Copy our game and do a better job than us, and we will pay you for it rather than making asses of ourselves"
Fixed that for you.
What do you mean by "unfortunately"?
Foxconn also accuses him of making "idle treats".
I want an idle treat.
C++ may be better than python/ruby/java for certain applications, but it will probably always remain in C's shadow.
Obviously it didn't work. They are still chasing him.

Thanks. I'm always glad to see that my work is appreciated.
And, like Hollywood, They stole the ending from an earlier work
Perhaps this is the reason it hasn't taken off. Many web 2.0 sites strive to be agile and they can't really do that in Java.
You wouldn't write a web app in C++, so why would you want to write it in a language that was designed to replace C++?
Yes, adding a whole dimension only confuses the matter. We really should be looking at what position each candidate holds on the point.
Fixed.
So it continues the major plot elements of the TV show? It's nice to see that Joss Whedon isn't venturing into new territory.
I'm not looking forward to the dreaded winter of Web Me that is going to follow it.
