Just use your bathroom scale. Sybex Mastering Java 2 weighs in a 1236 pages. Harbison & steele, who covered their topic with equal
thoroughness and greater clarity, managed C a reference manual in 392 pages. Java decided it had to be the OS and had to move a few layers out into the application space in order to be viable...it may have accomplished that but simplicity?
whether american companies are selling all the satellite ground stations, coax, servers, fiber, routers etc that make all this broadband available: we invented most of this stuff and not selling it would be even more pathetic than not installing for ourselves.
network solutions has been less of a pain than some. It is about the most expensive way I have ever parked a domain. I just transfered a domain
from Nonworking solutions to Tucows, and all on the day its registration expired. NS now leaves such
domains in REGISTRAR LOCK status and you have to call to get it unlocked so your new registrar can pick it up...awkward but safe. The transfer went down smoothly. Ask me about Tucows [and their reseller canaca.com] in a year.
other than outrageous cost, the thing about NS that bothered me the most was that the default "under construction" page they provide for parked domains was festooned with links to hard core porn labeled as "related" pages. Can you imagine trying to stake out a name for your business only to find that customers who visit your site when you finally turn on your content are saying "hey where's your pornography" [and imagine all the customers you really wanted who will never visit you again and you never know why]
are you telling me I can now write stuff that Microsoft will SELL and I
might get authorship credit? Does Mr. Gates' company think my ego is THAT much bigger than my wallet or that I just love MS that much?
I don't have time to read all the comments here but one word I expected to see often and did not was insight. If we carefully set up the domain of discourse for it, a proof engine can poke its head into every corner of the maze of valid steps that lead away from the starting point and eventually stumble into the QED goal. The arguments about a human not being able to validate the result miss the points:
reason by induction that ANY chain of valid steps reaches a valid conclusion. Valid steps are generally small: they are the trees whereas we humans want to see the forest.
forget validation! mathematicians are NOT computers. They want to UNDERSTAND they need to have insight or they are nowhere and a proof doesn't have much meaning if they don't understand it.
Most human proving starts with hunches and intuition [again: because humans have brains, not computers] that involve more concurrently applied connections and hypotheses than ordinary consciousness can juggle. Humans prove for INSIGHT as much as for validation and at the end if not at the begining of their proof process, they have in mind visualizations of key concepts and deeper structure of the problem space...where is THAT in a computer proof?
Two page story on the "new" Intel and Craig Barett's successor...I thought it was an add at first.
don't mistake my sniping at their PR machine for dislike or ill wishes...we all have a lot riding on Intel even if AMD is coming on strong.

offers a daily puzzle...if she likes, buy the card game, its only
a few bucks. it is a very simple game and yet, seems to
take practice for anyone to get faster at it.
pics in TFA show a lot of metal...they won't be content to wand you and you'd probably have to travel in presentable underware and zip-off clothing 'cause you are getting an inspection when your leg looks like part of a small missle.
...no male who ever got a nickle in loans or scholarships has avoided being enrolled in this database from the get-go and which database is that? The selective service of course.
ok, its really a java question, not basic. whatever
is MYSQL sufficiently standard in its server interfaces to support the
JDBC pieces in my servlets? I have never used anything but Oracle [they owned my employer...its a habit of theirs] nor ever met a programmer who was allowed to talk about it.
you WILL RTFA.
the moral of the story is near the bottom: ALWAYS tear up those stupid cash-advance "checks" that your credit card co. sends. makes me so happy to hear this because I always rip em up to bits and put half the bits in a trash can and half in the paper recycle.
Well maybe Bezos will get police service now...

ules about certification [verified levels of security and resistance to hacking] that DOD applies to systems software have been set up to favor the standard UNIX and Windows offerings. It is only within the last year that Red Had got a particular version. The hurdle is obviously NOT the quality or inherent security of the product but the enormous expense of the certification process. The money is nothing to MS but a big deal to Red Hat. IBM and Oracle, if I remember correctly, helped pay for the RH
certification.
On the other hand, while fighting to get a DOD contract in the first place, many would-be contractors with limited funds do use OSS to put demo systems together to support their bid. So yes, I have shown the Air Force a huge wargame simulator ported to RH and no, they didn't buy it.
in theory, if you have the righteous idea and the other guy has the wrong idea, yes, you should share your enlightement. Have you ANY experience of how resistant one culture is to being improved by another? The Bush League are attempting to improve the culture of the Arab dictatorships as we speak...how's that going?
Very good point. When junior comes home for semester break, he brings "blue beast" his tall tower crambed with hard drives and taps into our
comcast...that machine sucks in so many packets the rest of us wait a second or two even for google...I unplug his ethernet drop sometimes.
because it sees some slight possibility of being sued, has succeeded in killing all the innocent bystanders before the enemy [*AA legal staff] fires a single cease-and-desist]
To see what its biggest weakness is...its a SECRET KEY TECHNOLOGY!
all the wonders of unbreakability that are claimed may be true, let the hoped for flood of reviewers decide that. The whole scheme stands or falls on protection of the keys...I can't afford a courier the way DOD can so I am not sure how I am getting my key sent to my intended secure recipients.
I have heard that the Adobe 7. tools compress images better and I have seen the 7.0
readers do some very slick image zooming...no grainyness even on images that were captured as.bmp...and FAST. Image handling almost always poses space/time tradeoffs to the developers so I am not surprised the apps swelled up.
Now to shoehorn it onto my palm-os!
Govt $ to make something useful when it could be developed at a profit by a company that would then be able to contribute to a campaign fund? No Way in the USA, man!
But there are countries, or rather cultures where girl babies are given up for adoption until a son is born. Or the family just keeps getting bigger until a son is born. Or a woman who has not born any male children is divorced or disgraced. Those are societies where getting the gender you want on the first try would be a net benefit to all concerned.
Aint technology wonderful? If it doesn't simply make our lives easier, it can at least make our stupidities less burdensome!
...doing anything to reduce the availability of the news would draw protest from the readers. Anything from raising the subscription rates to outright censorship...they all have the same effect of muzzeling the reporter and putting blinders on the public.
But in France? Au contraire! they have a very different view of the matter of course.
At my local starkbutts, I bought a pound of coffee and waited for the pen.
and after an awkward pause, was told by the cashier that no signature was required any longer for purchases under $25...she was not even going to give me anything to sign.
I did not feel comforted by that...my stolen wallets have always been used
to by gas because of the no-signature-pay-at-the-pump option.
anyone else encountered this?
