To take this a step further... why can't the phone just be a phone sans the screen, key pad, speakers and then be interoperable with a screen, a key pad, speakers. Which in turn interoperate with an mp3 player. Both the phone and the mp3 player interoperate with a hard drive. Where all six items (screen, keypad, speakers, hd, phone, mp3 player) are all connected in a "personal network." You could add something for playing games, or a camera (or just about anything). Wasn't this the original promise of blue tooth?
I alway thought the ??? in 5 was they partner with you and then 6 is they steal your work/ideas/customers and 7 would be you die.
Or at least thats how it usualy seems to play out.
I would pay 20 bucks for a pack of AAA batteries that had a life-span longer than the device I used them in and recharged in seconds instead of minutes. I don't know of any batteries that last 6 months (unless you mean they last 6 months in something like a tv remote).
How does the licensing work on this? (assuming you have windows server or some other commercial product that charges per processor licensing). If you have a windows 2003 server running on VM-Ware (alongside say 2 other linux servers) and the VM-Ware is running on 10 different pieces of hardware (each with 1 cpu for simplicity's sake). Do you need a 10 Processor license of windows server? Does the VM-Ware have something manage licenses?
Whatever happened to those CD-cartdriges. Sure they were bulkier than a cd, but really a similiar getup that actually protected the disc, would definitely be useful (and help justify the cost 10-20 dollar cost associated to a.50 cent piece of plastic).
Now, just think for a moment if they offered rewards for reporting illegal immigrants. Nothing too spendy. Something really cheap, affordable, like illegals. We could have teams of illegals watching the border through webcams.
Brilliant!
I haven't dug all the way through this yet, but I'd assume you can't just turn any old Java app into HTML+JS web app. I doubt there's support for the Swing API or even the SWT (though it looks at first glance to be based more off of SWT?). Am I right to assume you have to use their UI classes to get this to work? Other than that does it support using the rest of the API?
Interesting... is all of that stuff well documented? I find overly-intuitive programs (MS-word in particular) that think they know what you want extremely annoying.
I should've figured as much before posting. I've just heard so much about RoR being the greatest thing since sliced bread. I really haven't been exposed to it, until I started looking into using AJAX for work (doing.NET and Java). When I saw some code and it reminded me of old ASP and JSP + Scriplets, I was just shocked.
As to your sig, I can't say I have any love for VB (especially after being forced to use it), but after trying to deal with the MFC and doing GUI aps in C++ on a windows machine, I understand why it was created. Still think they should've just done a better job with the MFC or created something less retarded than VB.
I've not seen a lot of RoR, but what I have seen reminded me a lot of ASP and JSP with lots of scriplets. Which I thought was bad form (code mixed with html). Have I just been looking at bad (or simple) examples? The article seems to hint that RoR does support MVC.
I can only hope that you then pointed this flaw in thinking out to someone./probably would have resulted in whatever system for critiquing practices to be dismantled.
Wow, you seem a bit upset. Why are you so upset if you don't care? Why post if you don't care?
What I don't care about is the main story,
Why post here? If you're really trying to find out how this may benefit you, instead of using the incendiary "Who cares" maybe it would be better to ask "How will this benefit me?"
"Who cares" is pretty dismissive sounding and titling your post that way is going to set the tone of your entire message and make a reader think that you're not really "open to being convinced" of anything.
Me thinks you, take yourself way to seriously.
I'll wait for you to tell me you don't care what I think.
Have a day.
P.S. It hurt my feelings when you called me a moron.
I read the summary, I also read your message if you truly don't care why are you still reading the thread? I mean if you read the summary and don't care why post?
But if you want an answer to your question, I guess the people who care are the ones posting.
Me thinks you care even more now.
The interstate commerce clause was not meant to give Congress the right to regulate trade or commerce on a control level
Someone needs to pass a constitutional ammendment clarifying the above.
Can we repeat that 1000 times? I really think the structure of government needs to be flipped upside down. Local government should be more important in the daily lives of people than federal government it just makes sense. Imagine being able to actually have a say or influence in the laws that effect your life and being able to move somewhere (easily) where the laws suit your beliefs.

I've read most of the Head First Java books and they do a really good job. Reading them was easy not the least bit tedious. I was already familiar with the topics and that might have helped, but I've yet to read any other books that make reading them as much "fun". If I ever taught programming to beginners (I used to think teaching programming to highschool students might be interesting) I'd definitely use these books.
Any diet will kill you in the long run. Vegan diet will not kill you any quicker than any other diet in the "absense(sic) of those refined pills". If you are going to go a vegan diet, you can't just eat lettuce and carrots and expect to be ok and you would have to make sure you get a *wide* variety of everything you are willing to eat. That said I could never give up cheese. Personally, I believe (even though I'm a vegetarian) that small amounts of animal protein infrequently, say once or twice a month like what an omnivorous primarily fruit/vegetable-eating-occaisionally-scavenging primate would get would be the most "natural" diet. If you are going to eat meat you really ought to kill/clean/cook the animal yourself its almost guaranteed to be healthier for you the environment and more humane to the animal.
As to the original topic I would say most illness (especially chronic ones) are related to stress and depression. Certain aspects of American society (less vacation, more work, fear inducing media) amp up stress and depression in our citizens. Crime rates have been declining for years but you'd never know it watching the news.
I've done a fair amount of J2EE and J2SE development (never a full blown ejb aplication, just servlets/jsps/jstl etc), but aren't those both just application servers? I guess they might be comparable to say J2EE is to JBoss/GlassFish as J2SE is to Sun/Ibm/?kaffe? JVM's. And there are open source JVM's and Open source Application servers. But *Java* isn't really open source and I don't beleive J2EE really is in that sense either, though I may be wrong.
Don't get me wrong I enjoy open source, and I'm a supporter of the philosphy. I just haven't seen any compelling reasons for open sourcing Java. And was curious as to why I see this call for Open Sourcing it on Slashdot frequently. The most compelling reason I've seen is it would make Java "cooler" to the crowd here. *shrug*
Why? This seems to be a popular opinion on Slashdot, and I'm curious why people need it to be any more open than it is? I mean afaik, the only thing that isn't "open" about it is the spec. If you want to create your own implementation of a JVM you're allowed but it must conform to the spec. This is a very *good* thing IMO. It would really suck if MS had been able to complete its "embrace and extend" manuever on Java (which is what MS has done with the open web standards and browsers) and it would suck even more if there were 5 different JVM's out there and you had to tailor your code to run on each one. You would completely lose the WORA (or you'd have to do all sorts of gimmicky crap to figure out what jvm you were running on -thats a lot of fun with browsers and html, I think it would be even more annoying with code).
So I ask again, not rhetorically, but honestly: why open source it? Am I missing something?
