Annotations have been introduced in Java 1.5, especially for making the JPA more simple.
Thanks for the information. Will take that into consideration.
I was arguing this same topic with a buddy of mine who is in to be presenting architecture guide lines for one of the huge banks. It is his bank's interest to produce code which isn't completely hijacked. You could argue that annotations make your code hard(er) to port to the eventual new prodigy language. Then again, that may be highly academic and when that particular bridge needs to be crossed chances are migration tools will become available or the business code will have become completely irrelevant.
If you had to do J2EE developement prior to EJB3, you would appreciate annotations. Basically a lot of the stuff from XML files went to annotations.
Right now I'm considering JPA for a project of mine. I'm not confined to anything by some architecture dept. so I can make up my own mind.
The main reason for JPA would be that I can "easily" hook up my application to "any" type of database. I will consider annotations but I will shun any vendor specific stuff in my class code and hence in the annotations. But I have yet to study the matter in detail.
For me there's also another reason to use legacy Java version. Some large/huge clients of mine tend to lag about 2 to 4 years on adopting Java versions. Some 4 years ago I had one moving from 1.3 to 5 (no kidding.)
If I can make my code run on Java 5, I will do so. Any higher version I'd have to consider very hard.
Java 1.4.2 was good enough for me to abandon 90% of my Perl activities. Java 5 generics were a very niece thing to have. But the annotations is where it started to get itchy for me. Bleedin' abracadabra I say. If ever I need it, I'll dig into it.
I'd never had anything to desire since 5. So for me 6, 7 and 8 mainly should be backwards compatible.
Our increasingly frustrating politics make it more and more believable.
Au contraire, mon frère. Frustration is a manifestation of development. Development is best attained when multiple views compete, argue and collide. If you care, you argue, you never get exactly what you want and you wind up frustrated.
Need a parallel to your daily life? When a family member mildly behaves like an idiot, you possibly get angry because you're disappointed. When some anonymous member of the public does the same you wouldn't bother, unless you don't have a life and you need that particular thrill fix.
CONFESSION_MODE=ON
I cheated once. 't Was for a really crappy course on business administration during my CS study. Worst teacher I ever witnessed. Multiplied that by the un-interestingness of the subject and you get the incentive as to "why?"
No regrets here. I never needed anything that was mentioned in the course. I'm happy to say that I'll never be the BA god some people can be. OTOH, I'm not too shabby on my CS skills, which is what I wanted to study in the first place.
CONFESSION_MODE=OFF
Mr. Quinn did make a huge effort into securing the required level. He also was more than pretty fair to the students. He has my respect.
Ending net neutrality will result a surge in compressed transport and CPU usage. Higher latency, higher CPU usage. More frustration and more wasted energy.
If we have the technology to make Mars habitable, then we have the technology to fix Earth.
It's much cheaper to make Mars habitable than it is to fix earth.
As a very realistic parallel, didn't you ever decide to completely redesign and reimplement a software system over fixing the current system -which is infinitely less complex than earth-?
So Oracle lets you taste their OS for free but do not allow you to directly make money out of it. They do however allow you to develop stuff for a customer running Solaris and to make money that way. I don't see any problem whatsoever with this. Sure they may have killed OpenSolaris which they probably owned largely.
Whaddya want for nothin? Rubber biscuit?
I myself quit OpenSolaris long ago as the buggy menu-driven admin-tools drove me mad and config file specification were either virtually illegible or incomplete.
You learn, understand, speak or write a language. Or you may loathe or love them etc... But you don't "do" one.
I'm not a grammar/spelling/style Nazi per-se but making half an effort would certainly suit you, sir.
Ever tried being sloppy when programming? Ever tried calling an inappropriate method on an object? Chances are the compiler will be more picky than me here.
This is not your typical Microsoft version 1 product.
Buddy this is an ideal MS bash topic and here you come lovin' them in frank words. That's like drivin' your truck through an Alabama hick town with writings on it saying stuff like "Man love rules OK" or "Hilary Clinton for president". Lemme get the boys...
Passwords as currently known will hopefully become old hat soon. I long for the time when I can own a private key in hardware, where drivers on all platforms are cheap commodity and where all programs and systems will be able to offer e decent authentication interface.
A password can be stolen more easily than the combination password + private key.
So, limiting the time span to the last 40 years,what would you consider good (or great) examples of first-time automotive design?
Ooh, that's a tough one. 40 years for instance rules out most established car brands. I could maintain that the Pagani Zonda is newer than 40 years and doesn't look too shabby. But there's one important difference in that Pagani wanted to sell the design and not the means and methods to produce super cars. So in our context so far this shouldn't count. Then again there's the Gumpert Apollo which tops the ranks of pig ugly super cars. (Try googling for "ugliest supercars" and check for yourself.) The odd thing is that this Gumpert Apollo is frightfully quick -Schumacher allegedly owns one- and that therefore they could have hired the cleaning lady's slightly Asperger nephew to do it better.
As somebody who just lost a bunch of data due to faulty backup disks,
Wrong, wrong, wrong!!! Never admit to have lost data. NEVER!
Always hold your head high and pretend nothing ever unsettles you. Seem so absolutely self-assured to make people puke from envy.
Learn from me, learn.
You could secretly move to a corner to hide and sulk for awhile. It releases tension and you probably will feel better. But the data remains lost forever.
(I might know a person who did exactly this.)
Also, YOU (and I) don't think the Urbee's attractive but tastes change all the time and not always for the better
Yeah, partly so. But the half-heartedness of it all gets to me. Especially when cars are involved. With that technology, the designer's imagination is the limit. And that limit needn't be portrayed so evidently on a maiden run.
I'm sorry but I get carried away with cars and design.
Oh puh-lease! If anything, taste -not money- is the measure of fulfilment in life. After you achieved to secure your daily needs, after you have chased away your daemons, you strive for taste. Life without taste is like the eastern bloc as it was meant to be. Words like yours numb the souls.
Do what you please, be successful, make loads of money and then dedicate life to beauty!
OK, so they're printing these bodies, right? Hence, they could have had at their disposal a vast array of CAD software, right? Hence, they could have easily come up with a half good design, right?
But they clearly didn't. Why?
If I were half as smart as these people seem to be, I'd present more and better pictures of the result and I would attempt to come up with something pleasing to the eye. There seem to be one or two images of this car on the Internet that indicate they are very insecure about the aesthetics. My take is it is a tricycle and that it looks like shit. I also seriously doubt if ever a printer will outproduce a mould.
This technology will however be great for prototyping car bodies. Maybe, some day, even Japanese, Korean and Chinese cars will be designed to look half nice instead of bloody awful.
For the people just tuning in, we're having a fervent discussion about whether an employer should be held accountable for inconveniences with TSA.
Good point about charter. I take you mean private charter and not a chartered flight for cheap skates. I also take that if you are special enough your employer will shell out many bucks for you. Having you on a train or bus will not be much cheaper as you will tyre more, be out of office longer etc... (Forget about mobile offices as they don't really work, unless it is your job to phone people and give them a ruddy good bollocking.)
Now move your context to international and intercontinental flights. Intercontinental charters are freaking expensive.
I'd have serious second thoughts on employees that would come to me and tell me to fix a crappy situation that the elected government did induce and that would suddenly cost huge amounts of money. I mean we're not bankers and we just can't light up our cigars with $1000 bills. You have to do with 1000th of it. It's a tough world I say.
My solution? I don't travel to the US or any other country requiring my scrotum to be fondled or my fingerprints to be taken. I would love to visit the US and Japan but alas. Oh, and I'm owner, general manager and main employee of my own LLC so nobody will push me about.

Modern, cool and therefore hip. Something I could, for obvious good reasons, ram down the throat of my teenage daughter?
How I hate the amorphous drivel coming from the main stream radio stations nowadays.

Would that be the German branch of Intel?
Apologies to all Germans reading. I just couldn't resist.

If they provide enough resources for a lifetime
I'm drifting a bit off, but if you take severe outages into consideration, you'd need a heck of a pile of hard copy pr0n.
Please blame professional deformation. I'm heavily into HA architectures.
So Oracle lets you taste their OS for free but do not allow you to directly make money out of it. They do however allow you to develop stuff for a customer running Solaris and to make money that way.

I myself quit OpenSolaris long ago as the buggy menu-driven admin-tools drove me mad and config file specification were either virtually illegible or incomplete.
I have no desire to do the Microsoft languages.
You learn, understand, speak or write a language. Or you may loathe or love them etc... But you don't "do" one.
I'm not a grammar/spelling/style Nazi per-se but making half an effort would certainly suit you, sir.

Yes, but how does it taste?

Devastation all around ... in the pr0n industry.
During the declining years of cobol
Cobol declining? Get real buddy. I for one see Cobol outliving Java.
And I'm not particularly overwhelmed by its beauty.
Didn't even bother to check the absolute source of truth, Wikipedia. Newbies.
Blasphemy! Merely insinuating being up to par with HP is simply scandalous. Who do they think they are?
You have to draw the line and not pass it! I for one will not exceed the fine and delicate line of a real doll named Hermiony.
So, limiting the time span to the last 40 years,what would you consider good (or great) examples of first-time automotive design?
Ooh, that's a tough one. 40 years for instance rules out most established car brands. I could maintain that the Pagani Zonda is newer than 40 years and doesn't look too shabby.

There's no accounting for taste, including yours.
Oh puh-lease! If anything, taste -not money- is the measure of fulfilment in life. After you achieved to secure your daily needs, after you have chased away your daemons, you strive for taste. Life without taste is like the eastern bloc as it was meant to be. Words like yours numb the souls.

Bored already? Look at beauty from the g[r]?eek's point of view. Shame Urbee apparently developers didn't bother.
