"The Java model of just leaking objects and hoping they'll get collected sooner or later seems horrible."
Well if you are leaking objects and they have hard references to them, then they won't be collected. Hence the word "leak". However, if one manages their objects correctly, the current generation of jvms perform quite well IMHO.
Can't you just defeat these implants like you can the RFID chips in the US passports...with a hammer? Heck, if they implant them in the thumb, most "weekend carpenters" will disable them without even knowing.
Back in the "old" days, we had techs that could tell you the error/fault that had occurred by the sound pattern produced by the line printers. To the very last one, they were upset/angry when the printers where replaced with quieter versions as this now meant they had to look up from playing solitaire/day trading to actually look if there were any significant events.
and abstain from choosing on all my ballot choices?
Damn, that would have been a good test of the e-voting machine I used; too bad I value my one vote too much to take that chance.
Actually it's a good thing I didn't think of that til after I voted otherwise based on the choices in my area, this might have been a good year to try that.
I'm sure the I can speak for most of us when I say that we've already been experiencing power point attacks and they started right around the time our bosses took their first power point course and learned how to use^H^H^H abuse sound and animations.
Damn, already got my Pox vaccination

oh well, I guess I could still try it and if I don't get it, then at least I know the inoculation worked.
you try running websphere in your browser:P Now from IBM for $250,000--The FireSphere Browser
From the article:
"The only thing AJAX is are a set of extremely important best practices and patterns developers use to create compelling web clients. Why can't JEE be more AJAX like?"
I still see many of the best practices in AJAX being fleshed out in the year(s) to come. Hopefully things like Comet will become a reality in the near future and the many different toolkits/utilities (dojo, dwr, jmaki, et al) can continue to mature and make the development of AJAX apps faster, easier, and more reliable but the current amount of hacks required to get any decent app working in all the various browsers is just downright fustrating. J2EE has its own set of best practices which I dare say are much more tried and tested than most of those for AJAX. But in some cases best practices are easier to lay down for JEE as all things JEE must be "blessed" by the JCP/Sun so you have a "standard" target. This can be a good and bad thing and the article does touch on those points.
I think system engineers have become to realize that you don't need EJBs and all its baggage to solve every problem and that some problems can be solved by lighter weight solutions, but when you need atomic distributed transactions, fail over, horizontal and vertical scaling, and all that other enterprise jazz what are the current alternatives?
Like always (well mostly anyway), the good engineers/developers who are "free" to do their jobs will find the right mix of technologies from AJAX and JEE (or something else) to solve their given problem(s) despite what the industry tries to shove down their throats.
Well add one more to the "Excellent" pile as I did my civic duty and submitted a glowing review since the product is working as advertised for me. As for some of the other failures, not all seem to be the fault of the drive:
"...I wrote the previous review about 1/3 drives failing after two weeks of use. Turns out it was due to a low-quality power splitter that caused the drive to go up and down enough times for the RAID controller to mark it as FAILED. I used the extended test (about 2 hours) with WD's tools to verify that the drive was indeed in perfect condition, and now the RAID array is rebuilding. So I still have never had a WD (8 drives) or Seagate (5 drives) drive fail over the past 5 years. Wouldn't buy any other brand at this point...."
Again, use the reviews as a guide, but realize that many people are building things as cheaply as they can and perhaps it is some other factor as in the case above. If my WD craps out on me after a month or even a year, I'll gladly change my review, but seems odd (to me at least) that mostly newegg buyers are having any problems wit this drive.
I'd agree with in an fair and ideal world/system, but could users/companies (either the manufacturer or the end seller) be submitting more favorable reviews for products they want to push? I'm not saying newegg (or its users) does that, but it has been done before.
In the case of the RE2 and newegg, I used the reviews as a guide, but when I searched the "broader" internet for people having problems with that drive, the "big" problem was just not to be found. As with anything and especially the internet, buyer beware. Heck for all I know, the next WD drive I get could be a junker.
Most people generally post when things go wrong or bad; very few seem to post when there is nothing wrong. You get a DOA drive, you're gonna bitch about it because it can't use it. I fit right there as well. I got a WD RE2 drive from newegg for my tivo S3 and it is working like a champ. It's quiet, fast and gives me 60+ hr of HD recording time. But did I post a positive review at newegg?...nope, I didn't. I was too busy using my new toy.
Well I can't compare 10.1 to Vista as I have little interest in Vista at the moment; I can say that SuSE 10.1/XGL runs just fine on my 2.5 yr old laptop (Pentium M-1.4, and whatever ATi 64MB mobility chipset was popular in laptops back then)
While many of the XGL eye candy is cool looking, in the end it hasn't made me any more (or less) productive, but it does catch the eyes of people (and gives them back thank you) and most people are either surprised or confused when I tell them it is linux and not windows and can be had for free.

Don't like the FUD?!?!?! Just like you and the other people who thought that terrorists flying planes into towers thought it was all FUD BEFORE it actually happened. One of our current flaws in dealing with terrorism is that we are almost always reacting to their tactics rather that actually predicting or thinking outside of our box (WRT terrorism and their future tactics). We've made some progress here (forward thinking), but your thoughts show that you still think that terrorists are all mindless, bomb wearing, unsophisticated idiots. Sure shooting up a mall is horrific and is more of an "instant horror", but attacking/compromising one of the things we (Americans and other free voting people around the world) hold as one of the foundations of democracy would be something terrorists would love to shove in our faces and use to feed their own propaganda machine.
"...Fifth, you would need a MASSIVE terrorist network..." really shows your ignorance as the terror networks that are out there now are massive. Now a coordinated "attack" of any kind by such a large group (hundreds) is not the typical MO of terrorists since the more people "in the know" leads to more leaks/higher probability of getting caught, but they need not perform such a massive attack. Simply compromising a few voting devices could serve their purpose.
Sorry to have to welcome you to reality to the real world.
Sure hackers would be tempted as well, but look at it from a major terrorist network perspective. If they were able to alter the election outcome and prove it (or have it proven), think about the doubt this would cast in all future elections (and possibliy cast doubt on past ones as well if the same tech was used)...and not just for Americans, but world wide. "One man, one vote"....I could see the terrorists laughing as they played video of them voting of a candidate 1 million times or taking down the voting "network" entirely. They wouldn't even need to injure/kill anybody in the process and they would be able to make a major statement.
I currently have Comcast cable and their HD DVR. They provide excellent service and PQ, but I also have 2 tivos with lifetime service and while the tivos can't do HD, I love them for their ease of use and extra features that the comcast box doesn't have (e.g. ability to transfer shows between tivos, to my pc, etc.). Oh yeah, and the ability to open my tivos, place nice big drives in there and not worry about be fined (my cable box warns against tampering).
Now with the series 3 you have a monthly fee and at least in my case, it would be an additional $5/month for each cable card. So even with an existing tivo subscriber discount to make the monthly fee ~$7, the total additional monthly cost to go to the series 3 would ~$17 a month. The Comcast HD DVR costs me $10. Is tivo worth $700-800 up front plus a net difference of $7 a month? Right now it is not since Comcast has annouced plans to provide Tivo on their boxes in the near future so I guess until I know what that does to my monthly costs I'll be sticking with the cable providers DVR.
Clearly the investigators where through off course when the wumpus briefly presented itself on the screen. Investigators from M.U.L.E. were called in to assist.
Does it come with caffeine-free diet Sprite and receive Fox news?
Rumor also has it that Johhny Depp, John Daly and well as other rock stars/bands and athletes would have to pay a hefty deposit. "It's damn hard to replace the windows although an advantage we have over our "grounded" competition is that should such hotel trashing take place, it would be fairly quiet. What many of these stars don't understand (well besides Sigourney Weaver) is that in space, no one can hear you scream".
I hope I caught sarcism as your post reads very well. While there are extremists on both sides, being pro-choice is not pro-get-laid-and-go-kill-all-the-unborned as the extremists of the pro-life side would like people to believe. It means letting the women have the right to choose and one of those choices is to have the baby(ies). Regardless "Hypocrites, all of them." applies across the board.
