GWT in Action

Use GWT's Java-to-JavaScript compiler to distill your application into a set of JavaScript and HTML files that you can serve with any web server....provided you have some other server capable of running the necessary services to put the A&X in AJAX, which raises the rather obvious question: what does this simplify again? So it's JSF-lite, except I have to roll my own SOAP services for everything?
All digital signals ride on an analog carrier, be it electromagnetic or etched in stone, ergo, the analog container must by definition carry more information.
To equal the density of Paris, you would have to cram the entire 3.8M population of Los Angeles (city) into the 68 square miles of Washington, DC--on top of the existing 600,000 people--and you'd still be short by a quarter million. To equal Seoul, you'd have to take the entire populations of New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles and shove them onto Manhattan.
You're not even guaranteed 56kbps on your residential "broadband" line. Hell, you're not even guaranteed it will work AT ALL on any given day. When you pay for a T1, what you're paying for is getting every single goddamned one of the 1.544M bits every second of every day in both directions--and the right to do whatever the hell you want with them.
It's about socialization, which obviously has its caveats in all directions.
What we have now is likely skewed too far in the "all are created equal" direction, which is obviously rubbish. However, I'd far less want to live in one of one of Huxley's or Zamyatin's nightmares.
We're raising a generation we don't want to pay for because we now collectively view most of our own society as various camps of "those people" and who wants to pay for/them/?
...provided you were sufficiently developed yesterday. If you were never able to produce memories, you'd never develop a personality beyond breathe, put things in mouth, poop, go to sleep. You'd also likely die a very early and unceremonious death because fire was perpetually fascinating and pretty and large, heavy fast-moving objects are probably easy to stop by standing in their way. Even if you avoided killing yourself, it's pretty likely you'd find assistance to that end soon enough as your lack of learning continued to dispatch those around you who/could/ remember how many deaths to date were your fault.
Besides, a brain capable of emotion without a body through which to express them would almost by definition be sociopathic from day one. That same brain with all its otherwise human potential, having never experienced physical pain, would have no reason to anticipate its own mortality or empathize with the mortality of others and upon recognizing its own condition would likely become suicidal and, realizing it lacked the ability to act on that emotion, would become psychotic.
Short of actually being human, such a brain would probably not be something you would want to give the means of physically interacting with its surroundings.
They could consider themselves Brazilians but it wouldn't change the fact that they are primarily geographically, ethnically and linguistically quite certainly Europeans.
But yes, I grok what Bely was getting at, so can we move on?
The vast majority of the Russian population is west of the Urals, making them Europeans by definition. Most of those European Russians are Slavic, which is by definition also European.
So, you're right, a European purchased a ticket on a European-built spacecraft, launched in Central Asia by the Europeans who were the first to put a man in orbit, were the first to launch a space station and still hold the record for longest orbital habitation, which of course proves that only Americans can succeed at spaceflight.
The first three are ads that Google also paid for to reinforce their relevance. The Dell search appliance is a prime example of co-branding. The concept has been around for quite some time....and yes, I know the last one is a fake, but as nearly everyone has seen it, functionally speaking, it might as well be the genuine article.
I use Citrix to work from my laptop and have a 3G card that sustains about 500Kb/s data, which is plenty for that. If the laptop is dropped/stolen/run over/burned, I've only lost hardware and can just wander over to any machine with web access--and often don't even need to install any client software. Setting up a standard VPN+RDP solution is pretty simple and a lot cheaper (read: essentially free).
Besides, it is not an entirely bad idea to nail into people's heads that their laptops should essentially be blank slates should they be lost or stolen. By working over VPN+RDP, they can use all the resources you have internally without exposing that data to outside threat except for the most extraordinary circumstances (say, MI6 is listening) while requiring only a very modest amount of external bandwidth and everything is backed-up at LAN speed as often as you require.
It almost seems an attempt at sadistic humor that Connector/J on Linux translates camelCase object names to CAPS, but Connector/J on Windows does not, which they've paired with respectively case-sensitive and non-case-sensitive versions of MyISAM.
The fact that some authority asserts that some fancy piece of linen is worth an ounce of gold doesn't change the fact it is inherently worthless. It's still fiat currency unless it is actually made of the commodity in question.
Why should my money subsidize your smoking habit that will cause lung cancer, bladder cancer, myriads of other cancers and disease?
Cancel your insurance and start paying cash.
If you won't do that, you have no business complaining because the only reason people purchase insurance is specifically so other people will shoulder their bills--and a rational person wouldn't purchase insurance unless they thought they would get substantially greater benefit than they paid for. So, if you think you're subsidizing anyone else and you think you're never going to be a drain, by all means, drop your coverage.
I don't really have a problem with charging those who eat more, for instance. But high cholesterol? Come on, that's hereditary. I don't really have a problem with charging those who drink more, for instance. But diabetes? Come on, that's hereditary. I don't really have a problem with charging those who use mind altering drugs, for instance. But mental illness? Come on, that's hereditary. I don't really have a problem with charging those who abuse stimulants. But cardiomyopathy? Come on, that's hereditary.
The point is, there are people who meet every one of the left-hand criteria who cost less than people who meet only one of the right-hand criteria--and there are quite a few people who meet all of the right-hand criteria. Frankly, the people on the left should be charged less for the simple fact that behavior can be changed, heredity cannot.
The Department of Education's budget is $67.2 billion, which per head of population is $224. Not so much, except when you consider that, for instance, the California Department of Education has a budget of over $50 billion. Per head of population, that's about $1,800 (note: university spending not included). Now, Orange County has an education budget of $4.2 billion, or about $1,500 per head of population...but that comes out to $6,557 per student...only 9% of which comes from the federal government and only 29% of which comes from the state--and, again, that's just K-12. So, regardless of the bottom-line dollar value or whether we're talking students or overall population, you're missing somewhere between 60-90+% of the cash....so, about this fifty bucks you were mentioning...
It should properly be a civil matter. The offended party should have to present its case of immediate damages suffered and demand reasonable recourse given all of the circumstances of each individual case, not simply be granted uniform criminal penalties with little regard to intent and prior to any actual damages being suffered, much less be given the latitude a la Canada to effectively mandate tax collection on the arbitrary assumption of future losses.

Hell. No.
The default cannibal virgin sacrifice drums that play at every possible juncture probably don't help the "serious" image much either.
I use Ubuntu on my laptop and always get chuckles when I log in to it at work. They probably think I'm playing Civilization or WoW or something.
