Yes, but *presonal* computers didn't exist at that time.
The 4004 and 8008 were indeed *the_beggining*, but they've never targeted personal use. The real breakthrough(for Intel, cause Apple was already there) came with the early 80x86 processors(and IBM of course;oPP).
..wondered if it wasn't Intel's mistake to sell early Pentium specifications so that AMD may launch it's K5 series at the time....
On the other site, a little competition on the market never harms, does it????
Well, this certainly clears some points.
If I understood you well, a transmission can be intercepted, but once this is done, it'll be immediately noticed.
I should agree that this will offer some major advantages for securing protocols......... 10x.
The device could be a key component in quantum cryptography, a code-making technology which, it is hoped, will be uncrackable.
The laws of quantum mechanics dictate that it provides a way to guarantee that no-one has intercepted that key,
Yes, I'm not familiar with this subject, but I just can't accept the idea that something may acutally be unbreakable.
If somebody knows a bit more I'd like to hear a profan explanation on the quantum mechanics laws(it's an auximoron, isn't it????;o))), that assure this. Wouldn't it be possible to do damage with a hardware device, if not on the software level????
When the JVM loads a class, it performs a process called verification which ensures that the class file is structurally sound.
1. The class loader isn't in any case an absolute defence. If I recall correctly there're a number of possible attacks to the calss loader, and new ones are still being discovered.....
I can't find the link for the moment, but I'm I've found somewhere a working class spoofing example(Jasmin & Java)... If I do find it. I'll post it here.
2. There're and always will be problems with "(un)trusted" native methods.(even if that's out of scope of my previous post).
When I made mistakes that generated subtlely invalid bytecode, the classes would fail the VM's verification stage and not load.
It's normal for invalid bytecode to fail executing. That was not my point when I said dangerous.
existing Java classes using BCEL
I would realy like to hear from you how did you found the BCEL package???? I was considering building all my work on it, but finally droped this idea, and now it starts looking more and more that this was somehow a bad decision.
Actually your question does make some sense, but isn't completely right.
The JVM itself is not as secure as its architects would like it to be. When you program for the JVM, you're supposed to use a Java compiler, and actually a lot of the safeguard features come from the compilation process and the specification of the Java language.
However, in the doc it is stated that the JVM may interpret *every* valid.class file, and although the.class files has a lot of restrictions, it's still possible to write dangerous code.
Anyway, this VM guys have an interesting idea...
PS:
I'm currently working on a JVM assembler(nothing to take from Jasmin, but the inspiration), that'll have no practical use, of course, but I still hope that there're some people that'll find it interesting......
...that IE is also interpreting ( or compiling on the fly + executing, I don't know the technical details;oP) this famous programming language....
Of course, if you browse a little the sources you'll see that those are are the *only* text files which IE renders without any bugs....;o)))))
# Haystack does not run as well under Linux in this build; certain features, such as the embedded Web browser, do not function, and the system is much slower.
I didn't see an explanation on why is that????
Suppose it has something to do with the JVM or is it a source code issue???
As far as I could see they don't provide an answer....Any guesses??

Luckily though, they have shitloads of IT jobs.
Fair enough.... I've recently considered an offer from Ethiopian OS Dev. company which was certain to issue the next "Big Thing"... Unfortunately, I refused cause the wage of 1.5$ a day just didn't seem enough at the time(I know, I'm a greedy bastard, forgive me, I'll change...), even after the CEO reassured me that with those money I'll live like a king, I was still unable to accept.....
...At present many third world countries such as Ethiopia, Rhodesia and India have serious problems in that computers are an unobtainable luxery that the ordinary man on the street cannot afford. If we can get free software into these countries..
You don't need to be enlightened, that in many of those third world countries the actual problems is, food, electricity, canalisation, religious conflicts etc.... And *very*, *very*, *very*,(do you want me to name them????) few people give a damn about how we'll be able to *help* them with the GNU idea....
Better, remember that food may also be an "unobtainable luxery"...

Well the heck, what kind of a bug may force Babelfish to totally screw it on the first occurence and correctly translate it on the second one??? It's a simple word with no multiple meaning, or am I wrong????
That's exactly what I'm missing here... How did Babelfish managed to translate it "Their"???? Is the pronoun he wrote down "Their" or "Your"??? 'Cause if it's Your and the Fish translates it Their.... well, hell buddy..... (the second your looks good, though)
If on the other side he's written "Their"....;o))))))..
I've re-run the translation and, *of course*, it produced the same result....(otherwise I'd have been even more puzzled;o?)
..Over the last couple of decades, the European space program doesn't seem to have screwed up any more than the US space program. OTOH, it seems to be a bit more cost-effective and fewer people die in it....
Without having the actual numbers, I feel ready to bet that "not screwing more", when launching several times less is not a great advantage...
Anyway, it may be true that Ariane had fewer "problems", but that doesn't m33n they're less spectacular;o))))....
Btw, I'm European so no offense... simply enough, when I first read the floating point register explanation for some lanch accident... it was far too much to not lol..... Damn, it's hard to finish those phrases at 2am....;o)
Europe is set to try to do something no-one has ever done before - to chase and land on a comet...
The spacecraft will be launched in February 2004 from Kourou, French Guiana, using an Ariane-5 G+ launcher....
...I just can't start believing in the European space program. How can guys that f*cked up a lanching because of an int in a floating point register aim for a comet landing in 2014????
Couple of days ago there's been another Slashdot story, comets, as always, but if I recall correctly the one mentioned was coming(actually/unfortunately it even had a 0,3% of chance for landing;o(((() somewhere around 2800... Wouldn't that be a more realistic GO! for Ariann????;oP....
