Here's my guide: 1) Go to http://tomcat.apache.org/download-55.cgi and select your distribution. I assume you are running Windows, so download binary installer. 2) Run installer and click 'Next' until finished. 3) There's no step 3).
You can get Tomcat up and running in minutes and writing JSP pages is very similar to PHP.
Yes, it works. And yes, it works because nobody dares to touch it. Besides, people who praise COBOL often forget that only a small fraction of COBOL code has survived. Most of the bad code has been replaced by code in another languages long ago.
There are far better tools now: Java/C# for business logic, BPEL for orchestration, rule engines, SQL stored procedures to work with large amounts of data, etc.
It requires less than a second to completely stop the disk in DVD drive. It's fairly easy to add accelerometer to DVD drive (after all, Apple does exactly this).
If you want REAL concurrency then look at Erlang (and it was created back in 1993).
If you want a feature-rich language supporting metaprogramming and functional programming style - then look at http://nemerle.org/Main_Page (I hope nobody from RSDN reads this...).
Spec# is yet-another-theorem-prover built in in language. NASA did this for Java years ago and I've read that a similar approach was used with Lisp back in 70-s.
I don't see much real innovations from MS Research. It seems that they just try to adapt existing ideas to Windows software stack.
Yes, Emacs is the best application. But only if you live back in 90-s.
Now plain text editors without semantic autocomplete are not even considered IDEs.
I used Emacs for C++ development back in 90-s, then switched to IntelliJ IDEA for Java development, then to VisualStudio for C++. There's nothing close to VS in functionality in Linux.
Not even close. VisualStudio+VisualAssist has almost 100% accurate autocomplete, code navigation and _refactoring_ support for C++.
Accuracy of KDevelop and CDT are not even close in autocomplete support. Vanilla Emacs sucks even more, but you can buy _commercial_ add-on for Emacs ( http://www.xref-tech.com/xrefactory/main.html ) which has 100% accurate autocomplete for C++.
First of all, I don't think that integrating everything and a kitchen sink in OS is good. Windows should be modular so third-party developers could create all necessary additions. In Windows it's often _possible_ for third-parties to add missing functionality but it often requires kernel-level hacks.
I have not used roaming profiles so I believe you:) I'm glad to hear that Vista got at least something right.
6&7) - actually, I almost do not use Windows Explorer, I prefer FAR (http://farmanager.com/screenshots.php?l=en) - it has 99% of Explorer functionality and it's much more efficient (it's 100% keyboard-controlled). But I agree, that it's an improvement for general user.
Vista is surely an improvement over XP, but it's disadvantages (bloat, hardware requirements, DRM, price) outweigh its advantages for me.
She had zero influence even when Beresovsky was the owner of a major central TV-channel.
And these international awards are often thought of as a payment for her loyalty to her western employers (and this is not a metaphor, her organization openly received CIA funding during 90-s).
Back in 1999 when there was a full-scale war in Chechen republic, she said during a talk-show that Russia should scale-down its army and ask US for support (and US/UK was known to support Chechen militants at least morally).
1) Well, that's OK. But not for home user. 2) I've been using network profiles for years with WinXP (using third-party tools). 3) Finally. 4) ???? I'm using WinXP Russian Edition. I don't remember any I18N issues in Windows itself. 5) SVN:) Well, shadow copies is really a great improvement. 6&7) Bells&whistles.
Actually, as a programmer I like the new Transactional NTFS in Windows Vista. But that's just about the only thing I like in Vista.
You see, Litvinenko, Politkovskaya (and his friend http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Berezovsky) are not real threats to Putin. They are considered 'political corpses' since about 2002. Most people under no circumstances will support either of them.
But these guys are token 'democracy fighters' for most Westerns who do not know intricacies of Russian politics. Now ask yourself: why would Putin kill them?
You know what, about 95% of people in Russia do NOT care about Politovskaya and Litvinenko. Most of reactions in Russian forums and blogs were 'Oh? What?'. Politkovskaya had almost ZERO influence on Russian politics because she supported Chechen militants back in 90s and she is _always_ against the government (she's a nutcase). Few more years and she would slide into oblivion.
Actually, you might say that Politovskaya became popular after her death.
BTW, nobody believes that FSB has killed Litvinenko. They are not that sloppy.
Now you have factional warfare in Iraq supported by foreign powers (Iran, Syria, etc.). And soon you are going to find out that you'll need to use Saddam's methods (mass murder, tortures, etc.) for 'pacifying' warring factions.
That's why a legal _licensed_ music CD costs about $4-$8 in Russia (usually about $5). My friend from England (I live in Russia) usually buys about ~100 CDs when he visits Russia or Ukraine just because it's so much cheaper and 100% legal.
Well, AoMP3 was nice while it lasted. But mostly I care about http://www.lib.ru/ - it's the best Internet library in Russia.
But we still have a hope, there's a Russian proverb: "Drastic Russian laws are softened by their loose observance". So I hope that lib.ru will continue to work 'underground'.

SU-27 is sooo last century. Meet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikoyan_MiG-35 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mig-31 .
They both have phased array radar which just doesn't care about 'stealth' technologies.

I helped to maintain COBOL software.

Well, physicists can do this, but this would involve smashing Earth to pieces and looking at its debris.
BTW, and they would need about $10000000000000000000 funding for LEC (Large Earth Collider).

So apply a filter to digital signal and make it sound similar.

Why would Putin kill 'nobody'? If I were him I would've killed somebody who can be a real threat.

And how many conspiracy theories about US government blowing up buildings can you find?
A small problem: there is nowhere enough of electricity to replace natural gas. The main consumer of natural gas is industry.
First of all, I'm Russian and I live in Russia.

Nope, it's actually quite close to metal. We take the address of variable and reinterpret the variable at this address as integer.
There's a small problem: only one ethnic part of Iraq has rich oil supplies. I guess the other part left without oil will not be happy.
Nope. For example, a lot of military experts in Russia predicted http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_war_in_Afghani stan scenario for USA. And guess what, they were right.

In 5 years this unmaintained code will be thrown out of the kernel.
Linux kernel has been completely rewritten at least 2 times by now.
