1. Most applications have base requirements for runtime (C libs, etc., for example) 2. HotSpot yields native code 3.

Even if it worked perfectly, no headaches, glasses, extra cost, etc. I still wouldn't want it. Not on the big screen either. It doesn't offer anything to me, and that "whoa, dude!" feeling you get when they chuck crap at the camera just fails to impress...
This is an artificial, useless parlor trick that has no purpose...
Sort of... It's not that these guys have some control over the rest of the market, it's that these guys were there when the market was *created*... The first to cash in on new markets usually become stinkin' rich -- this has happened time and time again (oil, trains, gold rush, etc.) -- and those that come after don't...
Looks like May 30th to my human brain... Who's got the brain that came up with the idea of having months start at zero, but day of month start at one?!?!
Some people have two cars. My family does. The Prius I've driven to work for the past 1½ years has never been outside the Bay Area since I bought it. Our bigger "fambly" vehicle is great for road trips...
All that's really needed to appease the range anxiety crowd is to increase capacity (and/or efficiency, though surely more on the capacity side) up to the number of miles one can reasonably drive in a single day. Say 600 miles? Yes I know some curmudgeons will say they regularly drive much longer distances in a day--both this is about obtaining access to a reasonably large potential market.
Right now you can order one for 300 miles. And given the specified 10-year time frame, don't you think we can improve battery life economically to double that in 10 years?
Seriously, I think this car line is a viable competitor to the BMW 5xx/7xx and similar models. A powerful luxury sedan, in the same price range (or cheaper--even with the 300-mile battery)...
Why shouldn't police shootings and suicides be included?
Cops shoot people who aim guns at them (or otherwise piss them off), and thus the gun's existence is directly in the chain of causation... Suicides are less likely when the act is considered to be painful--guns give people the belief death will be instantaneous...
I've always thought it should not be possible to convict someone of "resisting arrest" unless they are also convicted of another crime, for which they resisted being arrested...

Yeah, let's throw out 60 years of progress -- everybody write assembler!
Java was declared dead so many times back in the '90s, it's hard for me to take these announcements seriously...
I think the basis is that with Java the code is technically in the executable's data memory and thus lacks certain OS/CPU-level protections...

Tech unemployment in the Bay Area is currently 3%. Fucked.
Yes, fringe benefits -- they can use the stock to wipe their asses after getting laid off.

First thing I do when I get a new Windows PC is to wipe the drive. Never had any of these problems after that...

Still have to support my product at customer sites where the local IT department has not allowed more recent versions of Windows...
Have you ever considered what backup generators generate?

No--curie.

Congrats on being rich (per definition)!

You make it sound like a minivan or station wagon... This "family car" goes 0-60 in 5.6 seconds...
I need gravy.
Getting rid of your phone will save even more money!
Too bad, you got screwed... Now, do you plan on buying their products again?
Way off topic, but...

Only within reason. Jailbreaking can't be the cause of say, physical manufacturing defects. The warranty should still apply in these cases.

You're fucking hilarious.
Funny thin is when I received the email from Slashdot that you had replied, Outlook went into a 10-second "not responding" state...
As for being a jerk, look at the tone of your postings... then ask yourself: "is anything positive going to come out of this attitude?"
