Because the code is written faster in Java, runs as fast as C code can (because the JIT does an equivalent job
Since when has writing code quickly ever been considered one of Java's strong points? Personally I'd take stdio over Java's alternative (file wrapped in a stream buffer wrapped in a buffered reader wrapped in an enigma) any day of the week.
Sure, Java manages memory for you, but it's generally much easier to incorporate a garbage collector into C than it is to write java without file I/O.
Here's a crazy idea. Why not offer to sell the video for $80 AND offer to rent it out to people for $15/week? You can easily rent out more copies at once than the other company.
Believe it or not, there actually are talented voice actors in the world. People like Billy West and Hank Azaria who can do a variety of different voices. Hell, there are scenes of futurama that consist solely of Billy West talking in different voices.
Disclaimer: I'm not saying that this GTA guy is a talented voice actor, just that they do exist.
It's a pretty serious problem for this notion, that none of the people Sturgeon claimed to have killed, are dead.
I find it amazing that the Hans Reiser was tried and convicted without a body, weapon, or crime scene, but Sturgeon's confession of 8 murders couldn't be used as evidence because of a lack of bodies, weapons, and crime scenes.
If they are cloning the entire animal, it's still a physically separate organism with a central nervous system that is attached to a cerebrum. It's still feeling pain so I would think all Vegans would be opposed to it.
If the scientists genetically engineered the fake meat to feel more pain than a real animal, do you think PETA would still pay them?
If apple is going to force adobe to rewrite most of photoshop's user interface, then they should port it to a graphical engine that isn't going to disappear when apple eventually gets bored with it. That's why the next photoshop should be ported to X11. The X-windows system isn't going away any time soon and it would allow adobe to more easily port the application to other Unix/X11 operating systems.
Hold on - are you saying that Mac's have a better reputation for security than linux?
Actually, I think it's plausible that Mac's would have a better reputation for security. Not because they're actually more secure, but because microsoft's FUD campaign against Linux.
If apple ever starts competing in the real world, I'm sure you'll see microsoft start smearing their reputation too.
It seems like Microsoft can get much higher revenue from a several-hundred-dollars major upgrade than a pick-n-choose bundle of features.
Dear Sir or Sirs,
It has recently come to our attention that you are running a version of the NTFS filesystem driver that has known bugs. If you continue running this version, you risk losing all of your data. Please send us $200 for the updated driver.
Perhaps more projects should fail. There are times when scrapping the codebase and starting over from scratch is the best option. But most people will resist taking this step because it involves admitting failure. Instead they just continue to throw money at a worthless project that will likely never succeed.
In this particular case, Mattel may have reason for a trademark infringement complaint as well.
That's pretty much all they have a chance it, which is why it doesn't make sense to me that they would pursue this on a highly-questionable copyright claim. Unless their goal is to expand the scope of copyright.
Copyright applies to an expression of an idea, not the idea itself. Scrabble is not an expression.
The image of the board can be copyrighted. The manual can be copyrighted. The logo can be trademarked. But the rules of the game are not subject to copyright.

FDR had polio. I wonder how long before we'll have a president who plays Grand Theft Auto.
How can people continue to deny that climate change is real?

In fact, The X Windowing system had many of these usability features before there even was an OS X.If apple is going to force adobe to rewrite most of photoshop's user interface, then they should port it to a graphical engine that isn't going to disappear when apple eventually gets bored with it. That's why the next photoshop should be ported to X11.

my cholesterol is fine, but the crystals keep chipping my teeth.
I'm going to replace my coworker's mac book pro with a Therac-25. Lets see if he notices.
Perhaps Duke Nukem Forever is going to be ray-traced.

I'm pretty sure Java is the object-oriented Ada.
The developers convinced the management that they needed to use some god-awful platform? It's like you're working in some evil alternate universe!
How did this not make it in to the summary?
The singularity is here!
Patents last 17 years. Scrabble is 70 years old. That would place its rules in the public domain.
