no elite or FUD here, but if you read the specs for the java vm found in pre-1.4 it indeed uses a 32 bit address space for its internal pointers. IBM and Sun have released the 64 bit (internal) JVM, but I've yet to hear they are production grade. You might also be interested to know that while Sun boxes with UltraSparc 1 chips were 64 bit capable, the Solaris 2.5 and 2.6 were not true 64 bit OS (I have an Ultra 170e which triple boots 2.6, 7 and 8, btw). Not until Solaris 8 (which includes both 32 and 64 bit kernel you have the choice of booting) did they get *most* of the 64 bit issues ironed out, and you can read all about the remaining problems in their online doc site.
sure, the JVM will *run* on a 64 bit machine, but within the JVM it's a 32 bit world: it's a 32 bit animal. there is a project to develop a 64 bit JVM ongoing
Java relies on the good will of Sun, which recently has entangled themselves with Microsoft even more. The 32 bit space & allocation limits of the JVM might limit some applications, and the JVM is still a resource pig.

that's interesting, but are you doing the in-memory TPS benchmark or one that also involves disk? How different are the other parts of the hardware besides CPU?
yup, kudzu grows so fast we can just put these fuel cells in all our household appliances, and plug in the end of the kudzu vine like a power cord. Then owners manuals could say things like "this 20 amp shop vac requires at least a 14 gauge kudzu"
simply swimming ....in the middle of the Mediterranian Sea...in a storm...so far from shore experienced fishermen in a boat were sure they would die...riiiiiiiight
there is even *more* danger of patented code leaking into closed-source code. The main thing is to keep careful track of contributers. At least with open source everyone can see what's there. Closed source is the real danger to proprietary code.
They might be taught to read by such a device, though I don't see any reason such a thing couldn't exist for $50 or less each if produced in huge enough quantities. Heck, if they're $250 now they'll be $25 in less than 10 years
My IBM thinkpad 22 blue screens on about every 7th or 8th boot with windows XP. Interesting code & IRQ error number is given: all 0's!!
I've worked with Windows for over 10 years as admin and programmer; it's bloated unreliable garbage.
oh no, no...there is a world of difference between an employee/employer relationship and a contractor/client one! Consider the topics of changed scope, income tax, intellectual property, expenses, breach of contract, benefits to name a few. And it doesn't matter if my client corporation is large or small
yes, work for yourself. Consulting and contracting are the way to make big bucks now. Those 3 to 8 month projects aren't the best candidates for outsourcing. Learn to save money for the lean times, and learn how to write off everything possible for taxes.

you mean where Asok lives, who has taken Dilbert's job in his home country
cool, a BEA solution - but having no Itanium servers I must wait for UltraSparc and AMD production grade solutions from Sun, IBM, etc.

large mirrors for telescopes take years to grind and polish
don't forget about conducting electricity too. Graphite is also metallic and conducts well.

Soon most of the computing world won't be under U.S. or European or Canadian law; no one will give a crap about our patents then

and then it will be some boring pointy eared guys with no sense of humor and alien chicks who are never in the mood

I'm sure the java enthusiasts will post plenty of proof that it's no longer slow. It's just a resource pig on machines fast enough to run it.

of course, people really prefer to stick with their doctor once they find one they like, and will gladly drive 5+ miles to continue being a patient
for that matter, what 17th century English scientist wasn't? All the universities were founded as theological as well as natural learning centers.

no, you will sometimes get back socks that aren't yours, with overall conservation of parity (left/right foot)
