I'm not religeous, at all, so perhaps I just don't get it. Why can't evolution be the process in which whatever diety you believe in produced us? For that matter, why couldn't the big bang be It's process?
Many denominations of Protestantism teach of the Infallability of the Bible. Whereby the stories told aren't simple allegory or morality tales, but literal and historical fact. The Bible says the earth was created in six days, therefore the earth was created in six days. For the fundamentalist, a single contradiction or falsehood in the Bible causes the whole house of cards to tumble down.
I haven't been paying attention to this case for the past, well, year. Did McBride or any execs cash out before it hit the bottom again? It should all be in the public SEC filings.
And by most European standards, American "Liberal" is akin to european "Conservative". They consider our "conservative" to be their "facist" as we consider their "Liberal" to be our "Socalist".
You have to keep in perspective why there was the big push for EJB's when the spec was first released: Big name vendors charging Big Bucks for their "J2EE Certified" Application Servers. For most projects, EJB's are tremendous overkill. Entity beans, while scalable, are difficult to maintain. I've never had a project where I recommended Entity beans. If they need good horizontal scalability, I'll recommend Session Beans acting as a facade to Hibernate ORM objects.
What you gain from EJB's is scalability, ease of distributing components, declarative security, and declarative transaction demarcation. For most smaller clients, this is not needed.
you'll be teaching more about XML than java itself.
Ummmm. No.
The only XML file you'll be touching for vanilla web development in Java is web.xml, which is the webapp deployment descriptor. And for the most part, this file is very simple to create and manage, even by hand. And any modern IDE has wizards that take care of this for you.
Now EJB development, otoh, can evolve into XML hell. But metalanguages like xdoclet make this less painful.
Exactly. Several centuries ago, chubbiness was a desirable quality. Only the wealthy had money for red meat and the leisure time to be complacent and grow fat. If you were thin, that meant you ate mainly grains and spent your entire day at backbreaking labor.
Personal decoration could also have played a large role in mating. Female birds prefer males with bright, bold colors. A human male who is capable of expressing his abstract thought skills through personal adornment (i.e. art) such as necklaces, facepaint and headpieces shows that he has desirable genes.
Also, such trinkets could be a sign of a strong hunter (and thus, a good provider). If a male is strong enough to fell a Tiger and take his pelt as a decoration, he should be strong enough to protect a woman and her children.
What part of "and supported by" don't you understand? You think maybe support is a non-issue in the real world?
You know, I've been programming Java professionally for seven years now, including production support. Three of my last four gigs have been for Fortune 100 companies. I've seen every production issue from misconfigured application servers to the Halon system going off. Never once has an issue been raised that required Sun's support for Java. Never! And if it ever did, we had a support contract with Sun that ensured a tech would be on-site within 12 hours... Even for the Linux boxes.
Anyway, there's more involved than just downloading. It has to be deployed to all the machines I might want to use it on. I've got that automated for Debian. And yes, I could use some other mechanism for that one component, but that's a lot more flippin' work than you seem to be suggesting.
No more work than deploying any other package that isn't included with the OS distro. Quit bitching and start scripting!
So, why do we care? Because having it be open-sourced is the ONLY WAY that it will EVER be included with and supported by Debian, Fedora, OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, the BSDs, etc., etc., and many of us use those systems on a daily basis!
Seriously, how fucking lazy to you have to be not to go here and download it your self. "Java sucks because it's not included with my favorite distro". Waaahhh!
Midichlorians were a bad idea, but kinda understandable; they needed some way to show that Anakin has more potential than anyone, and almost any kind of Force-measuring device would have been just as cheesy as midichlorians were.
They also fed into Palpatine's revelation en Ep3. Anakin was created by the midichlorians. Was this 'the will of the Force', or Sith manipulation? Or both?
The only problems with Ep 3 were that it took all of three seconds for him to turn to the dark side
Ummm, I know you probably weren't paying attention to eps 1 & 2, but Anakin had been falling to the darkside for much longer than that. Betraying Mace Windu was just the final straw. There was no turning back from that point. NEXT!
...and the fact that none of the Jedi (save Yoda) seem to have sense a galatic conspiracy against them
Again, you weren't paying attention. In Eps 2 & 3, there were no less than five mentions of the Dark Side clouding the Jedi's ability to see through the force.

Good! Now write it out one hundred times. And if it's not done by sunrise, I'll cut your balls off!.

^Or better yet, switch to one of the 10,000 other distros out there w/out a tainted kernel.
In a recent poll, 50% of Americans said they're ok with the government spying on them. Sorry if I can't give the benefit of the doubt with sarcasm.

No, sir. It is not. The national debt is 8.3 trillion. The national deficit for 2006 is est. $400 billion.
