Sorry, you're not making any sense. First of all, I didn't write a list of advantages, but a list of disadvantages. Strings? Every language developed in the last 40 years has them. And all of the languages on our list except C and Pascal include some sort of list type as part of the standard libraries.
Interesting - looks like they un-fired the bitch when nobody was looking.
The announcement of her firing is dated May 10, 2005. According to Sys-Con's archive, they did stop publishing her for a while, but she came back exactly one year and one day later. And it's also worth noting that the editors who forced her out are no longer working at Sys-Con.
If you're trying to run a site on a $15/month hosting account, then no, this is probably not for you. But if you're at the stage where MySQL isn't able to handle all the data you're throwing at it, then chances are you won't care about the extra few MB of memory that the Java runtime requires.
Some people do write software that way. The process is incredibly slow and expensive, which is why a lot of defense contractors use it.
The problem is that every conditional branch in the program greatly increases the complexity of the proof, since the proof has to account for every possible path through the program. So they write their programs using as few branches as possible, which as you may imagine makes it very hard to get anything done.
I don't know much about this stuff. Most of it I learned from a conversation with an old unemployed computer scientist. I would have liked to pick his brain a little more, but he was more interested in bitching about his ex-wife, and about how hard it was to find a $200,000 a year job.
Forget altruism. Oracle is heavily invested in Linux, so it's in their interest to help Linux development. Also, I don't see how freeing ZFS would actually cost them anything. So I'd say there's a fair chance that it will happen.
- Learn to use a version-control system (I'd start with Subversion). This is something you'll need for every project with more than one developer (and it's also handy for solo projects).
- Learn to use Ant. When you're done, learn to use Maven.
Well, if you could show that Earth was getting colder or staying the same temperature, that would definitely disprove global warming. But in fact, it is getting warmer.
What will it take to convince you people? This is a serious question.
By publicly complaining about this shit, the FSF is providing a valuable service. If no one complains, the companies will think that users are OK with it, and everyone will start doing it. Maybe they'll add even more restrictions.
MacOS is not locked down. I can install any software I want, and most open-source Unix programs compile and run without any modifications or hacking. The developer tools are available at no cost, and there are no restrictions on who can write and distribute apps to users. Also, you can run almost any modern OS on Apple hardware (I've installed XP, Solaris and several flavors of Linux on Macs).
None of the above is true of the Apple mobile line, which is why I stay away from it.
This filter is not intended for end users, but for people who administer mail servers. It wouldn't work for end users anyway, since it needs to chew through thousands of emails in order to learn the patterns.
Obviously it's over-hyped, but it could be useful.
Cannondale has been using the "one-sided" design for a while on mountain bike front forks. A lot of motorcycles use it on the rear, even though they have to withstand a lot more stress.
Sure, it seems like a bad idea, but if all these people are doing it, there might to be some reason for it.
And what does this mean exactly? Obviously, no new features for 1.3 and 2.0 - what about bugfixes? They say: "we'll be distributing security updates by other means" - what are these other means?

I assume you want something that'll give the kids an advantage in the competition, and be useful if they want to start programming seriously.
Pascal - it was nice back when Reagan was in the White House and Michael Jackson still had his nose, but it's obsolete.
PHP is for writing dynamic web pages. It's good at what it does, but it isn't really a general-purpose language.
C and C++ are faster than interpreted languages. That is, sometimes they're slightly faster. And they're almost always harder to write in.
VB? Go fuck yourself.
So that leaves Java and Python.
In Indiana, it's celebrated on March 2.

"Up to 50 percent or more!"

So by sending a connection request every couple of minutes, I can effectively prevent all legitimate users from logging into the system?
Which is still pretty big news. Right now, the biggest problem with PV panels is the high cost.

Those are all good points. I'd add:
- Learn to use a version-control system (I'd start with Subversion). This is something you'll need for every project with more than one developer (and it's also handy for solo projects).
- Learn to use Ant. When you're done, learn to use Maven.
Some of us like having lava lamps on our desks.
what would disprove global warming?

Apple already has a multi-tasking OS. If they wanted it, they would have put it in.
Who's saying you don't have a choice?

"iPad" is the Bostonian pronunciation of iPod.

purchase every item they tried to sell, and donate the items to Haiti
You think the Haitians need bootleg Viagra?
It might result in a worse outcome.

I can find a used *car* for that price.
Don't forget:
- Insurance
- Fuel
- Registration
- Repairs and maintenance
That shit can easily add up to more than 2k per year.
Not too long now. Hell, Ted Kennedy's still on the list.
Who you calling surly?

All that begatting and not a bare breast in sight.
