That said, obviously NetBeans is a perfectly viable and competetive free IDE.
I'm with you. IntelliJ is fantastic. NetBeans' saving grace is its Maven integration. I like Eclipse, but it runs into problems when it comes to Maven.
I'd say the biggest problem with NetBeans the IDE is that if you change POM files outside of it, it takes forever to "scan" (whatever that means). IntelliJ overall is just faster and has more features. Of course, the full version of IntelliJ isn't free, whereas NetBeans is.
I've been watching a lot of pro Starcraft casts lately (hooray for Cholera!), and to me it's clear that skill is a major factor.
Using a build is just like using an opening in chess. It helps you make the first, say, ten moves. After that you're in uncharted territory. In fact, Starcraft players have it harder than chess players when it comes to the opening. If the player isn't timely with a scout into the enemy base, and then skillful with microing it, the player will have no idea what build the other player is using. Chess players can just see it on the board without any effort or probe/drone/scv micro skill. If you don't have that skill, you're not going to be able to adjust your strategy to account for the other players strategy.
A lot of the game also depends on your meaningful APM (actions per minute). Pro players have an APM around 250-400. The sheer concentration and quick thinking needed to maintain such a hectic rate of play isn't something that just anyone can step up and do. Using a good build has nothing to do with it. If you don't have good APM one or both of micro and macro will suffer.
Along with APM comes micro. In Z/Z, for example, a single well-placed plague can turn the game. For protoss, micro of a shuttle/reaver combo or of high templar storms can be crucial. I can't come up with a good example for Terrans, but basically in Starcraft your units are only as good as your micro.
Personally I'd take a skill-based game like CounterStrike or Starcraft over a level-based game like WoW any day.
My guess is that they can punish you for not cooperating. In other words, I'd imagine that if they ask you for your encryption password, you'd have to give it to them.
Therefore, here's my best guess at a solution:
Get a smart card that can expire at a user-specified date & time (do these exist? where can you find them?) Before you enter the US, encrypt your data with it and set the expiration a little after you plan to get home. Then mail it home... hopefully it gets there. If you get stopped by customs, they probably won't be able to get your smart card to your laptop before the expiration (they probably need a warrant to search your mail?). If that happens, you will lose your data, but at least the government *probably* wouldn't be able to charge you with non-cooperation because there was nothing you could do about it.
Opinions? Sources of smart cards that expire at a user-defined datetime?
It's simple. The browser should detect self-signed signatures and then instruct the user to verify the SHA1/MD5 hash (fingerprint/thumbprint) with the site's owner. That's all that needs to happen.
This is a fairly new site, but I can vouch for it because my friend is one of the developers who works on it. It's going to be great.

If anybody's still around... can someone explain/give me links about the export restrictions on software with encryption?
Why is it illegal to export such code?

Right?

If I were you, I'd determine whether MS' API uses Navteq data, which is of higher quality than TeleAtlas which is what Google's API provides.

simple answer: yes. if the performance and reliability was comparable to osx on mac.
Sounds like a brute squad to me...
