yes, that's the core problem. But Java also has such problems (not as many, of course), which is why there are some people use template preprocessors (for compile time polymorphism and strong typing) and proposed solutions to problems of containers having to deal with basic types and objects.
but now that he's called you, you no longer need to get any more campaign/fundraiser calls ever again. So get your phone bronzed and mounted, and never wash the ear that heard his voice.
right, we also need a national do-not-survey-or-campaign-or-fund-raise call. until then, be sure to tell every such group that bothers you to never ever call again.
of course, as the article points out, a 30m one like this wouldn't even hit the ground, it'd burn up in air and make a pretty show. Not much to worry about...
My printer I bought new 3 years ago, $75 rebate on $200 Canon Bubblejet. very low power.
The 3 RISC machines are letting me do work for client machines that cost >$1M, and they all cost $250 on eBay. Upgrading to a "newer" single CPU machine would cost over $5,000 each easily even on eBay. I don't give a crap about the power consumption for those.
And the 300MHz Dell GXA Pentium-II with Windows 98
only gets used for Office stuff when required, and Turbotax & QUicken. Not much power consumed due to low usage.
Internet domain on 1U Celeron box from defunct telco, colocated elsewhere. 150W power supply, baby Intel ATX motherboard 1 hard disk and no floppy/CD rom. I'll bet money that thing draws less than 40W in normal powered on state.
Main machine is purchased-new 3 year old HP Pavilion running Linux, may pull up to 3A in startup, but running continuously less than 0.5A
Well, as a for-instance, the $190 Ultrasparc I use for Oracle/C++/C programming and operations procedure testing runs the same Solaris 2.6 and 8 my clients use, but doesn't cost > $1M like their 14-way SunFires. I don't think I'm too nuts. And I only run the thing when I'm working on it, the thing does pull 7A...but I'm making 50-60/hour when I do run it.
SGI revenue last fiscal year $1.3B. SCOX revenue last year $64M........SGI is doing real business on real products.
Also, small 1K blocks of SCOX being traded have HUGE effects on share price. SGI's daily volume is like 7x that of SCOX, with much smaller % daily fluctuation.
Just pointing out SCOX's price is based on very risky hopefulness, while SGI's is based on value of the business. And SGI is taking serious drastic sound business measures to turn their business around.
haha - for my last project, used old Ultrasparc I 170E ($190 on eBay 2 years ago) to run Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris 2.6, to work out client issues in migration to RedHat AS 2.1 / Oracle 9i.
Sell that old crap on ebay! People like me buy it! I've got FIVE used computers (2 Intel, 3 RISC) here that I use to make me money, each running a different OS (plus one more I bought new, I'll never do that again).
heh, actually several translations of the Bible are included in my 200 books. Only one of the ones I have is available on the Internet (King James Version). My wife's Khmer translation of the Bible sure isn't

Oh no, now they're BOTH talking about the Bible!
I really don't think such a thing (use in other countries without including source or attribution) will hurt the Open Source movement. The *control* of open source is by those who openly contribute. The preferred type of software will be that which has available source code. Who is going to get the cooperation and help and support and updates from the OS movement worldwide, the company that steals open source and provides only binaries for their product? A perfect example is SCO. Will the rising young IT people by & large specify & purchase their goods ever again? Will gifted people want to work there? Heck, I'm an *old* IT specifier & purchaser, and I not only won't buy their products, I will actively evangelize against SCO to any of their current customers (which I've already done once already). If I'm again in a position to hire people, I won't hire anyone who's worked at SCO after May of this year (vindictive old bastard, aren't I) I think offshore OS thieves will find themselves in SCO's position as the world get smaller.
isn't on the Internet, maybe 1/1,000,000 of all human knowledge is. Out of the 200 books on the bookcase next to me, 5 are on the net (and half of them are computer/IT/communications texts!)
yes, our money in the bank exists as data in IBM's mainframe OS's, we get some from the ATM which runs OS/2, and we buy goods from a manufacturing plant that uses AS/400 for MRP, and work for companies that often use AIX on RS/6000 for ERP.
Good grief, kids these days think the website is the company's main computer? That the internet is the most important network in the world? That big money is moved via j2EE and XML? yeesh.
that 10 year stuff is useless -- I don't get called by the same bozos twice....I get an entirely new bozo from yet another company bothering me. I'm thinking about disabling the bell for incoming calls altogether and telling my friends and relatives they can call on my cell phone only.
I'd like to know whose pockets these judges are in. It figures, the really slimeball lawyers rise to the top of the cesspool and become judges.
heh, it looks like 2.6 has great new features for all types of machines, but poorer overall performance for the normal desktop PC. The price of being scalable?
hmmm, no photographs, no machine, questionable reliability of witnesses, question of whether flight was controllable....maybe more accurate to say he *might* have invented the airplane, it *might* have actually flown in a controlled manner
Heh, what China does might not have to conform to any standard. The countries of asia (including China + Asia) are so big, with projected market growth so huge, that they could very well tell the world what the standards are . Face it, the western computing/IT/telecommunications world will soon be way, way outnumbered.

the programmer is doing the compiler's job

I didn't know that. For another source on hazard to humans, check this out. Yikes...
heck, I have an even better idea that will save them 90% of the $53M....just send $5.3M to me, and I'll tell everyone.

Too risky; dispose of your illegal materials in your NEIGHBOR'S trash.

so that's 3.24GHz of bandwidth for broadcasting--- the FCC can make a new broadcast band in the 100+GHz space!
