Police can follow me around or stake out my house without a warrant. Now, instead of assigning an on-duty officer to tail a suspect 24/7, they are using a GPS device.
How is this sort of warrantless surveillance a 4th Amendment violation? I'm not saying it is not, I just don't see it.
Most of the places I've worked that use Eclipse do so because they see it as an alternative to the WSAD tools, and they're using WebSphere as the eventual platform; which is truly irrelevant if the software is written correctly.
If you how to target WebSphere in an efficient manner without using RAD 6 (successor to WSAD), could you elaborate?
My company has 'standardized' on WebSphere, but my team mates and I would love to use something other than IBM's development tools.
Unfortunately, using another container (Tomcat, Jetty) with Eclipse/NetBeans for development has proven problematic at deployment time due to WebSphere quirks.
Considering the topic, the quotation at the bottom of the page is appropriate:

word. -- Al Capone
AV software is akin to a kind word when it comes to combating the net mafia.
During the Wild West days when law enforcement was scarce, militias and posses were deputized to keep the peace. Today, police and government are stretched thin, so Congress should deputize 'white hats' to attack/track down virus writers. This has got to be better than the reactionary stuff we are legally permitted to use.
"how do you account for contradictions in the Bible?"
I'd prefer not to argue aimlessly about this. Do you really want to know the answer to these questions? Write to: paul_michael_bauer at hotmail dot com.
Not really.
The post was in response to someone that had a problem with accepting Scripture that was not physically utered by Jesus of Nazareth.
The point was not to argue the validity of Scripture; rather I am operting under the assumtion that it is Divinely inspired in the first place.
Therefore, according to Scripture, you can't pick and choose (buffet style) which sections you like. If Christ is the fullfillment of Scripture (He is), then you can't take the parts Jesus of Nazareth said, and leave the Rest.
The same Spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth inspired the writers of the Bible. As all Scripture is inspired in this manner, Jesus (the man in which God lived) did not have to say those things himself.
1 Peter 1 [10] Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: [11] Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.

"China is not communist. It is MORE capitalist than the USA. It is also not a democracy."
I don't know anyone (including the Chinese) that claim China is anything other than Communist. As to them being more capitalistic than the USA, that's just ridiculous.
"You don't generally see the security service outsourced to a foreign country"
Could you provide evidence of this? If you are refering to the Dubai ports deal, the security was _specifically_ reserved for the Cost Guard.
"Except, that now a potential terrorist description fits 90%+ of the total population of the USA."
Um, ok. I must be part of the 10% that has never gotten a personal call from Osama or Hamas. If you are on speaking terms with these terrorists, I _want_ sombody else to know about that.

Java 1. good performance and getting better 2. Java defines cross-platform (binary) 3. Java has several first-rate GUI toolkits (Swing, SWT, thinlets).
a. Swing has better support for accessibility than most other toolkits (javax.swing.plaf.multi.Multi*UI).
b. Swing is very stable and mature
AJAX 1. horrid performance 2. the largest target (IE) doesn't follow standards. All the other browsers have their own quirks to code around. 3. CSS/HTML is a poor desktop publishing technology, not a GUI toolkit. If you want pixel-precise rendering, go someplace else.
a. accessibility? what accessibility?
b. JavaScript has the dubious distinction of winning 'the best language with most many BAD implementations' award.

Please, no.
Reified generics at the JVM level has unintended consequences for other language implementations targeting the JVM.
Ola Bini has an excellent take on why it's best to keep reified generics out of the JVM.

If anything, take the comment as a vague, general condemnation of
A discerning person recognizes that general observations do not necessarily apply to individuals.
...are you going to find a collection of article summaries that:
1) criticize the United States for using it's intelligence resources to protect itself from a corporation operating out of Communist China.
2) criticize the US for not using intelligence resources "_enough_" to protect its ports/borders/etc.
3) criticize the US for using intelligence resource "_too_much_" by wire-tapping potential terrorists.
Go figure.
