You have to admit that that is not a typical setup - I imagine that the typical desktop they were providing had a more mundane combination of applications.
Oh boy, you did it too. In a short while you'll hear footsteps then a few loud bangs on the door from the police, delivering your life long ban from the land of the free.
Can you wait a moment? Someone is knocking on my door...
You on the other hand, don't like to login, do you?
But seriously, there is so much noise surrounding the information on the internet that I too like that information as usable as possible. No prose, no fancy opinions but usable facts.
Now I'm off arranging my "get off" signs in a sensible pattern on my lawn.
It's quite simple - his new job at Oracle puts him in a position where he will be violating HP trade secrets. He simply cannot work as the CEO of any large US IT company without attracting such a lawsuit.
Imagine all the mission statements, videos of sexy consultants and powerpoint slideshows he'll bring with him. I'll bet next year HP will lose 57,256,744.25 USD of its revenue while Oracle will magically increase theirs by the exact same amount, thereby surpassing HP... Yeah, right.
He should plead incompetence, irrelevance or ineffectiveness. But since those kind of guys pay themselves millions to work or stop working - this might be very hard to prove.
Still, glad to see all those tech companies so obsessed with innovation and competing for their marketshare...
The entire JFC exists in the java.* and javax.* packages.
JFC is mostly a synonym of Swing. What you mean is that the standard libraries (mostly java.*) and extended libraries (javax.*) can not be expanded by anyone except Oracle/Sun/JCP.
Concerning the sun.* packages: these are VM specific implementations - nobody should be using them directly.
Read the title of the post you replied to. It's THEIR computers. The equipment belongs to them. Me monitoring my computer is completely different than me monitoring your computer. Therefore...I don't see what you're getting at with you're sarcasm.
It is the employers computer, and the employee's privacy, e-mail, Facebook account.
By your reasoning, every ISP has a right to read your e-mails/chat/... since you use their equipment. Oh boy. Privacy matters. Look at North Korea, Iran etc. and see how they suppress opposition.
You're correct that somebody who gets paid to do some useful (or not so useful) stuff required by an employer shouldn't be doing something else instead. Would you like your employer to get access to your home to look for things that might make you less productive? Like too much bottles of wine? Of course not. Instead, they have to keep an eye open for detecting people that are drunk or sleepy.
Better still, monitor performance not what they do. Who cares you handle 5 private mails during the day when your productivity is 20% more than average?
When you start sending your employees the message that they are paid for being present and not for being productive, your productivity plummets.
The term 'intellectual property' is designed to confuse us about patents and copyright concepts. Basically you can not own ideas, but in the interest of stimulating innovation and sharing ideas, lawmakers provide a temporary, exclusive right to your ideas via patents and copyright. As opposed to land and other property that is for exclusive use in perpetuity.
Besides that, the problem is not what they ask but why they ask it. Basically Oracle thinks Dalvik is an illegal copy/clone/implementation of Java and Google doesn't. In my mind, Oracle is wrong.
The Android SDK transforms java classes that make up your Android app into special Dalvik bytecode.
The tools in the SDK are Java programs. The compilation output is not Java or Java bytecode.
If Oracle goes after this, what prevents them from going after annotation enhanced classes used in Spring, Hibernate,... that basically do the same stuff? E.g. Hibernate transforms Java classes into SQL-statements that run on a DB instance. They can even sue themselves because they did those things before buying Sun.
I fail to see how this will benefit anybody - especially Oracle - in the long run. It would be smarter to join Android, try to get their Java brand on it and profit from the free publicity.
Sun sues Microsoft over Java = GOOD? Oracle sues Google over Java = BAD?
This is an over simplification. As I understand it:
Sun vs. Microsoft: Microsoft did an 'embrace and extend' omitting required implementations like RMI and adding stuff not available on standard VM's, making sure a lot of incompatibilities would make the Java platform ineffective on the internet (Applets), desktop (AWT, JFC vs WFC) etc. MS's intention was to kill Java.
Oracle vs. Google : Oracle uses the fact that the Android code is written in a subset of Java and crosscompiled to some other format (Dalvik bytecode) as an argument that Google made an incompatible Java/VM/whatever. Googles intention is to use Java knowledge as leverage to provide a richness of Android apps - ultimately this is to the benefit of Java, the Java developer community and probably Oracle too.
Yes, but when it isn't, would you like your network to die just when your closest relatives did the same? I mean: how would you tweet and facebook that?
There are more likely situations... e.g. suing Facebook or Google for privacy violations... or Toyota for automotive failure... oil companies for spills...
Why not sue everybody who doesn't show up, for lost income? It's like the Minority Report...
Their security advisor is probably a Zimbabwean member of Al Qaeda with a deep sympathy for the Taliban due to his Afghan roots - but only since he lost his communist party membership in the USSR when it was abolished.
Besides that, he probably has only the interests of the UK in mind.
Oh right, for some reason it's seems to be an impossible task to develop suitable Government IT systems for any government even though companies seem to do it everyday.
Don't underestimate the stupidity of (large) companies.
I don't really care how Java does it but I would expect they wouldn't always require one thread per socket. This quickly becomes a bad approach on a server application that has more than a few connections.
Short answer: java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor it is available in the Standard Edition since Java 5.0 - very simple to use.
Support a community well and it will pay you back.
Yeah, that worked out great for Sun, didn't it?
Their business model worked well until their main sources of revenue - Solaris and hardware - came under pressure from Linux and commodity hardware, i.e. x86 servers.
Until that point everything they did with Java, OpenOffice, Netbeans, MySQL brought them a lot of Solaris business... They simply hadn't answers for changing markets.

So, your productivity took a plunge too?

**Sniff** I remember when HP was a well respected company and its equipment was built like a tank
That was when they were engineering products instead of marketing commodities.
Their security advisor is probably a Zimbabwean member of Al Qaeda with a deep sympathy for the Taliban due to his Afghan roots - but only since he lost his communist party membership in the USSR when it was abolished.
