and you probably still collect SStar Wars action figures right? Bercasue if you cant see the depth of blade runner, you must be underdeveloped mentally and/or have littler capacity for understanding the big questions.
What book? It was loosely based on a very short story by Arthur C Clarke called "The Sentnal" from which the movie only refers to in the end. By and large the movie is an original work.
Can geeks and hackers of our Ilk be considered credible "cool" judges? Unlikely. Stupid issue really, flamebait. But so long as my uncool J2EE enterprise apps continue to pay me $75K salaries, who gives a fuck about cool.
And one other thing, I also feel you are being derelict in your duty if you do not do the utmost to explain to your clients the benefits of developing for cross-browser compatibility, after all even 1% of 100 million potential users is not a small number of alternative browser users, let alone 5%. IE may have the market share, for now, but it is not the be all and end all of browsers, in fact it's crap, and it's reputation is slowly but surely being eroded away In a few years time when we all finally see the alternatives take over, you'll be wondering where to plug in your activex controls.
Ever heard of cross-browser compatiility? It is possible to achieve, and if you are failing to do that then you are myopic at best, at worst lazy in you approach and I sure as hell would never hire you.
I wanted to let/. know that I cannot see the ads that pay their salaries (due to Zone Alarm). Personally, this agress with me. But do the marketing tools who pay for it know exactly how many of us exist?
The worst thing you can become is a zealot. OOP at least is a broad and friendly enough paradigm to allow for flexibility in design. Just consider how many design patterns are out there. The only real procedural pattern that paid a worthwile salary was Cobol's "spaghetti" pattern.

You seem to be overlooking the important points some people are making..... Lets get to topic people.
>> 1. Collective experience use to be that the world is flat.
This is just not true. It was not widely believed that the earth was flat, however some people did hold this belief, who were regarded as fools, largely. The modern notion that it WAS a collective human belief is an historically incorrect one.
Its plainly possible to retain integer incrementsation (ie i++) regardless of type. It's the same inherent language-level operator overloading as is currently performed using concatenation (eg "string" + 5 produces "string5", so why couldnt i++ behave as it has always?). Remember, an object is simply a reference to an address space, what the JVM does with the contents in that space is discretionary and abstracted from the programmer.

More animal than villain.

Because art asks us to think and discuss. 2001 does that in droves, why else are you posting here?

....well, duh.

the ads are 'annoyances you have to deal with in a free society.' should read: the lawyers are 'annoyances you have to deal with in a free society.'
What in god's name are you harping on about, man?
Go fuck yourself yankee hot-dog eating fat bastard.

What a crap website.
Getting close to that 1000 mark. What's the record on /. so far?
btw, Novak is a dipshit.
Sue me muthaf^%#ER, I'm over here in Sydney, Australia. If I come to NY it won't be to defend a lawsuit, it will be to kick your fat immigrant ass.
This sounds like a job for Lionel Hutz.
Here is the PETSWAREHOUSE DISCUSSION FORUM . I wonder if it's moderated. Maybe a few comments about how fat his arse is might be in order.

The customers will pay more no matter what. 20 seconds up yet?
you pathetic Microsoft Mule.
Yes, but now the RIAA have to be careful to screen all files beyond just the filename: extra effort required - cant be a bad thing.

The IO streams can still be of primitive type, its the JVM at each end that might act as the type wrapper.
