Java Is So 90s

As much as I like to work with java, this really is not true compared to some others languages.
Primitive type are a pain in the ass to deal with (and java 5 only hide this in an horrible way making performance management worse when dealing with collections of those types).
Regarding the AppServer issue you mention, I disagree, there are really good professionnal J2EE servers available for free:
- Apache Tomcat (http://tomcat.apache.org/) Combined mod-jk and Apache HTTPD (and specially with the new 2.2) it really does its job perfectly well for large scale site (lots of our clients use this architecture for very frequented web sites)
- Caucho Resin (http://www.caucho.com/) Useful for developpment and debugging purpose as it recompiles classes on changes and provides detail information on exception. (though with tools such as Eclipse and MyEclipse, I don't use it anymore)
I think this is simply the biggest challenge Apple is ever going to take:
- From a marketing point of view
- In engineering (hardware and software)
- In communication with its partner (it seems it's already a success as Wolfram Research, Adobe and Microsoft are in the wagon)
Don't you think this is due to the fact that you know for a long time how to find the right package/class/method in java, whereas in Objective you have to learn a new way of organizing the "collection class" (frameworks) ?
I mean, I have been told that the frameworks available with OS X are really complete, so i'm wondering if it's you or not:)
Note that I am neither a Java programmer neither an Objective-C developper.
Come on, whatever you can think of RealBasic and all that kind of fast developpement tools, this guy is right when is says it is usually for beginners and that it frequently gives us awfull program!
I have seen too much programs for Mac that could have be done in 50 lines of C with an executable of just a few Kb, and instead are at least 1Mb (minimum size for RealBasic program, as far I have seen).
Look at this example:
FreeSpaceFile X
That's 1.2 Mb for something that could have been done in one line of shell!!!!!!!!! nahhh...
(Though i am sure it certainly has a lot of good way to be used, the fact it is used by beginners to start programming is a really really awfull and not wanted, at least by me:p).
After some research, it appears you are right, Balzac said something like that:
Il faut arriver à Balzac pour entendre un écrivain, triste de s'être laissé distraire pendant quelques mois par une femme, proférer ce mot effroyable : Encore un roman de perdu!
L'encyclopédie de l'Agora: Balzac
It could be quickly and badly translated by:
We had to fait for Balzac to be sad about having been distracted by a women during few months, and said those horrible words: Another lost novel !
With that kind of subscription, their target for this service wouldn't be the same as AMS.
Maybe people that listen to the last hit on the top 10 would like to swap their music very often, I don't.
I have my prefered bands and music style, i wouldn't want to get rid of them.
All said and done, I think the developers of BeOS did a really great job. I recent got the chance to go over the Be File System (BeFS) for class and was amazed by what they did in a short amount of time (less than a year).
I know Bush doesn't give too much attention to that, and i wonder if he will ever know what this word means but just give it a try...
The world won't last long if the US never change its policics on that (Kyoto.. Johanesburg etc...), IMHO...
I don't agreee with all but have a look at Brian Goodwin suggestions:
Accelerating the rate of CO2 increase in the atmosphere by profligate use of Iraq's vast oil supplies, together with the continuing deforestation of the Amazon, will not only turn the Amazon basin into a parched desert but plunge the entire mid-West into prolonged drought, resulting in famine in your own land. History would then judge you as an apocalyptic Burning Bush, bringing the scourge of parching fire to your country and its people.

Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is a technology that puts data from different sources together on an optical fiber, with each signal carried at the same time on its own separate light wavelength. Using DWDM, up to 80 (and theoretically more) separate wavelengths or channels of data can be multiplexed into a lightstream transmitted on a single optical fiber. Each channel carries a time division multiplexed (TDM) signal. In a system with each channel carrying 2.5 Gbps (billion bits per second), up to 200 billion bits can be delivered a second by the optical fiber. DWDM is also sometimes called wave division multiplexing (WDM).
Since each channel is demultiplexed at the end of the transmission back into the original source, different data formats being transmitted at different data rates can be transmitted together. Specifically, Internet (IP) data, Synchronous Optical Network data (SONET), and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) data can all be travelling at the same time within the optical fiber.
DWDM promises to solve the "fiber exhaust" problem and is expected to be the central technology in the all-optical networks of the future.
Please note that you can already travel at 300Kmh using the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, 'High Speed Train'), in France, since since 1980...
Not 400Kmh, but it works very well.

If you consider your data worth it, have enough time and enough money, you should probably re-burn/re-save them to long lasting media.
There was a previous post on askslashdot about this subject.
http://ask.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/08/27/2119252
My suggestion was to use Plasmon "Century-Disc" :
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=914095&cid=24784787
(even though I have never tried it myself)
I woud use the same solutions that have been selected and approved by national libraries.
The "Century-Disc" is the support media used for long time archiving at the BNF (french national library).
Apparently it's a glass CD/DVD media developped by the frenh company "Plasmon". :
It is said to have the following resistance ability
Definitely a choice to consider !

We all know why it is that cheap...
They already have all the nuclear material floating or sunken in the area

Wow...
I've used those mega post it and they are indeed really useful to stick on a wall, windows or anything you can imagine for a presentation.
After reading you... with interest... I thought I had to share this: http://www.spamusement.com/view.php?id=235

This is really good news for the future of OS X considering that BFS developers have been hired by Apple.
