They do have a position that has legal and case-law support. Probably this will be played out in court. With this case, it is even money who wins, but I'm favoring the universities.
"Despite common knowledge to the contrary, cycling properly on the road just isn't that dangerous relative to other ways of getting around."
"Bicycle helmets are excellent proof that marketing works and that emotional hysteria is the best way to get laws changed."
Two quick points, one is that "accidents" are called that because there was a moment when you did not have control over the situation. That's when either you lost control, or somebody else caused you to lose control (like the yellow cab that collapsed your rear wheel, or side-swiped you without noticing your existence.)
So long as you believe that while riding you have 100% control over the situation (esp. in the city), you are endangering yourself and others. Unfortunately, Darwinism checks in and removes from action those who do not take bicycle safety seriously!
Quick example: while riding westbound on 14th Street, a car hooks a left U-turn from a parking spot, just as I'm passing. Going about 20mph, my bike and I had no time and little choice but to follow the trajectory decided by my momentum, and collide with the vehical's front-left fender, whilst I flew head-first over the hood and onto the pavement.
Without a helmet, skull fractures possibly? With helmet, I had a sprained ankle, fucked-up cervical ligaments and scrapes. Oh, and, one seriously dented hi-tech helmet.
Some good points are raised, with the example of the command line interface used, which is a much better choice than, say, an array of switches or a punch card.
Well, the CLI is essentially a direct descendent of the punch card. Back in them olden days, yer Hollerith cards was how you got a stream of data into a system for processing -mighta be program, mighta been data, or both! The output of your input was generally a fanfold pile of scrim.
On antique iron you might be running fortran, cobol or BAL proggie which got compiled and executed, but today thru the CLI your input stream could be a perl -e script, data, commands strung together for serial execution, whatever. The big difference is that now you usually get feedback immediately following your pinky whacking the enter key.
So, while it's improved quite a bit (especially turn-around time), it's not a huge evolutionary leap from punch card to CLI.

Hmm, I don't see anything about $2 expense for $1 revenue. Could you clarify? In fact, it looks like Redhat pulled in $3.60 for each dollar it cost them. Now isn't that funny?
They must be cooking the books over there, because they'd have to be foolish to not support your simplistic ideas about business! IOW, Redhat *is* profitable and has been for awhile now. Nyah Thppt!.;p
It helps greatly in debunking your claim that you're quoting Dershowitz, a well-known confabulator and obfuscator of the truth.
Not only does he claim that Israel has never bombed or attacked any arab country or village, but he also believes that Israel doesn't torture its captives. The truth of both are so extensively and well documented, that it makes Dershowitz a worthless witness for your arguments against Chomsky.
Bloated code, shared JVM... this isn't a JSP or Java problem, it's yours, d'oh! JSP scales very nicely, and unlike Perl or PHP, you have lots of control over scheduling, load balancing, distributedness, etc.
If you thought you could just mosey on over to JSP and employ your existing Perl/PHP skillset? Sorry, no! Unlike weakly object-oriented / typed languages such as Perl/PHP, Java requires that you know what you're doing.
Approaching a rich API such as Java through JSP, from a Perl/PHP orientation, is a recipe for disaster. It would be like going to perform knee surgery on a patient after having been a bikini waxer.
That said, to whoever's working the backend of your JSP website, they probably need to get a clue about tag libraries, JSTL, Struts etc. Go find a good book on those subjects, for example Java for the Web With Servlets, Jsp, and Ejb : A Developer's Guide to Scalable Solutions by Kurniawan.
The reality of Taiwan is vastly different from the image that Taiwanese nationals present to the Western public. They deliberately omit curious facts like the Taiwanese education system teaching children that Tibet is "rightfully" part of "One China". The real Taiwan is a threat to Western security and Western culture.
First of all, the mainland is not entitled to Tibet. Understand? Separate country, separate culture, separate language. Get it through your head.
Second, all bets were off after the revolution. If Taiwan wants no part of a brutal communist regime, then they don't have to. You may want hegemony over traditional Chinese provinces, but that doesn't mean you'll get them.
Third, just how deeply does mainland China brainwash the kids? Taiwan a threat to U.S. security?!! Bwah-hahahahahahahahaaa!
Heh, thanks again. China MUST get its ASS out of TIBET, NOW.
People may be reacting to the assumptions behind your writing, rather than what you think you're talking about. For example--
"I've always had a hard time seeing how Sun has any long-term staying power. I'm still skeptical, but I was able read why Scott thinks he can be successful, 'execution.' He sounds like a hitman! Like any good hitman, Scott seems uncomfortable with his feelings...
Anybody can infer from this that 1) You doubt Sun's going to be around for very long, not dissimilar from when people prognosticate Apple's demise; 2) That McNeally has the emotional capacity and possibly even the ethics of a mob hitman.
We've got exactly who I wanted in there to run the joint.' That's nice, but the shareholders may not want 'yes men' and 'yes women'.
Except that McNeally is Chairman of the Board of Directors, holds over fifty million shares of Sun stock, and is also CEO. He's in those spots, making those decisions, because he's an owner of the company, plus the shareholderselected him there.
Finally, your statement, "It must be my autism. Point taken."
Do you really have autism? I have a cousin who is autistic, she can't answer the phone, use a computer, drive, or speak much, let alone post to/. When people blame their faulty social, communication, or organizational skills on "autism," it's baffling.
If you want to understand why, make a visiting-hours trip to any home/hospice for autistic adults. Just do it, there you will learn what adult autism is.
I've seen these "tiles" (they look more like thick linoleum) embedded in midtown Manhattan's asphalt since the early 90s.
When I first noticed them, I thought "street artist." We have many here, so a sighting of something like this is not that unusual. Look like they're cut with a linoleum knife, too.
What a whiny little twit you are.

New Heinlein Novel
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
Heinlein explored many fascinating non-sexual themes in many of the books you mentioned.. Considering it's a genre whose stereotype protagonist almost NEVER gets laid (like yourself, perhaps?), AND many of those novels were written during the SEXUAL REVOLUTION, what on earth are you complaining about, you conservative-sounding prude?
why do i even bother? bitchslap that idiot's karma.
Linux has *all* the parts and pieces you'll need to put one of those together, what on earth do you need a Linux version of Eyeball for?!
Simply download and build the right mpeg and mp3 encoders, string them together with netcat over the vpn, code up a wish script to direct it all, and voila! Instant AV intercom!
Bah, who needs end-user software when you don't need end-users?! LINUX FOR EVER!!
Troll to match your troll- these people called their own revolution, including the U.S. Although I don't disagree with a good outcome in Iraq (if it comes), I do disagree with the means, and certainly with the fact that the U.S. spent so much time and money propping Saddam up over the years. Even after Gulf War I, he continued the atrocities. The U.S. ever give a shit? Of course not. Not until it became politically, geographically and economically expedient, not to mention feasible, thanks to manipulated intelligence and a product marketing campaign.
Welcome to the Mideast's first forced democracy. Are these people ready for democracy and all that entails? Think women's suffrage will stand a chance in their culture? How about truly representative democracy, hmm? How will the Shiites and Kurds fare... one wonders.
Do you ever wonder why the U.S. played buddy-buddy with Saddam during the first decade of that time? Why the U.S. allowed the sale of many of the components used to make WMD, and knew when foreign nations had sold biological WMD source material?
Why, after the U.S. knew that Saddam had attacked the Kurds with chemical weapons, the U.S. continued to stand idly by, whistling and looking off to the side?
Example: I have a static method of a class which returns a new object of a subclass based on requested input. Occasionally, I need to return a new object of the superclass. How do I know which new() method i'm calling? I can't build an interface for it. My options are to either rely on reflection, which is always slow, clumsy, and half the company doesn't understand it, or pass a delegate a static method in the subclass, which is usually pretty fast.
Ever try a Factory method? I thought at first that's what you were describing, but maybe you don't know. Generally a static method, you pass it parameters which it uses to decide which class in the hierarchy to instantiate and return.
Check out Design Patterns by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides. It covers the Factory pattern and much more.
Netscape developed a fully open-source web browser. Microsoft, apparently (from what we publicly know, anyhow), didn't touch it.
Then again, with IE and Netscape under the spotlight of antitrust litigation, it's not likely they would've. Programming languages have no similar marketshare issues. Java would be a more likely target.
But even if an advantage is introduced, its still questionable if replacing the wild type with the improved version is a bad thing.
What does humanity lose when all soybean plants become roundup-resistant? Would the world be a worse planet to live on if all zebrafish glowed in the dark?
That's just it-- we won't know until it happens. Which means we will no longer be able to decide which outcome we want: a world with in-the-wild GE zebrafish that glow in the dark, or world without. At least here in the U.S., GMOs do not undergo any special testing -the USDA and FDA consider them no different than the original source species, "same as." This is the result of Bush Senior's and Clinton's clearing away of red tape, so that biotech investors would see bigger profits faster.
Whether we will pay for with a fucked-up ecosystem in the end is only a matter of time. Once a GMO escapes to the wild, there's no turning back.
It's not a description of an actual worm, it's not even a description of how to build a worm, it's a vague description of how a worm might be constructed:
1. Scan internet servers looking for vulnerable software 2. Infect said software.
Duh. The author writes, "I didn't write this paper to give people malicious ideas." -- It's okay! There's nothing in the paper that would assist people in doing anything useful!
