The trouble is, when most people talk about Java performance, they really mean the performance of Swing. The performace of Java without Swing is a lot better.
Don't take my word for it, download Eclipse and see for yourself.
That's not a highlighter -- that's a pen with iodine ink. Iodine reacts with the wood starch in normal paper to form a black stain. It does not react with the fibre based paper used for printing currency. If you want to have some fun, spray the currency in your wallet with starch.
200 miles up from the Florida launch pad, and 200 miles back down to the Florida landing strip. For this 400-mile round trip, the odds are pretty dismal, even compared to medieval seafarers.
If you picked low labour and time, try a ReplayTV. Hook up your vcr to your replay, click record on the replay, start vcr playback, come back 2 hours later. Then get DvArchive and stream the recorded show off the Replay onto your pc. The stream is an MPG2 format. Use VideoLan Client to view the stream. Archive as desired.
Remember the days of Dungeon Keeper and Theme Hospital? When was the last time you played a game that was genuinly new and exciting, that could keep your attention for days without getting repetative.
Well, the point was that the National museum never fed anyone, and my rebuttal was that it did: It fed the innkeeper where the researchers stayed. It fed the restaurant owners where the tourists ate. There's no need for the museum to turn a profit when the community can be benefited indirectly.
The National Musem never fed anyone; it was a luxury item.
Wow. I suppose you know for a fact that there were no ancient manuscripts describing a cure for cancer or some other technological advance (witness scientists discovering wireless transmission of electricity that Nicolai Tesla documented) in that library?
And how did you know it never fed or would never feed anyone? Do you mean to say that there would be no researchers who would pay good money to live in Baghdad studying those treasures? How about all those tourists who would pay for a tour of the museum?
At least in VMS you could always ask for HELP. In Unix you can't even consult the manual until you pretty much know what you are looking for.
You may already know this, but in case you don't:
Yes you can. Make friends with apropos and makewhatis. Of course, this is a primitive (think altavista - 15 billion pages found) search, but gets you what you need most of the time. Do apropos time for an example.
ALSO, is there anything more COMPLETELY FUCKING STUPID than TEXT MESSAGING someone from a PHONE, where you could type less and ACTUALLY CALL THEM? GRRRRRRR......
Actually, TM is really handy. I only wish people would use it more often, especially those obnoxious loudmouths on the ride home from work. Yes, you, please shut up, I have no desire to hear how you spent your day at the office.
While this seems like a good idea on the surface, am I the only one who thinks this is a waste of time?
C'mon now, how many present inventions can be claimed to have been predicted? OK, the geosynchronous satellite. But what about the ones that aren't like TIVO ?
There will always be stuff you can predict assuming progressive evolution of today's hardware and software. But then there will also be the stuff you can't predict no matter how far you take current technology. Flying cars anyone?
Easy to grow. Almost impossible to kill. Needs regular watering, although you may want to try the Earthbox. If you do try them, be sure to get a determinate tomato plant (the non-determinate ones keep growing and can get up to 8 ft long.
Once you get the hang of it, you might try topsy-turvy gardening.
Most mailing lists are English. This can be hard for non-English speakers, since they may not get the nuances, but be polite. If you're asking for something, use common courtesy. Say "please". Don't lots of exclamation points. Don't use all caps. Don't use "HELP ME!!!"
Amen brother.
To that I would add: Use a keyboard that does not have a broken shift key and that does not have any missing/broken keys (u r certain 2 know what i mean:)
This may also give rise to promotions where cell companies agree to pay to switch you to their plans (something like what happens in the long distance market now).

Kinda missing those orbits aren't you?

He didn't say he didn't like it. He said he'd never watched it and had no intention of doing so.
This plops another toolbar which allows you to turn off JavaScript/Java/Flash while navigating. Nifty.

At some point you get tired of typing all that long form and start using TLAs and FLAs. Once you do, does that may you a typical English ditto-head?
TTYL, HAND.

Uh, you're still using 128 MHz RAM?
Get with the times! You can get 333MHz DDR Ram (stock speed of 166MHz) now.
I know some people who would want one.

What!? You mean MTU has him tied to a leash? :)
Is that how MTU keeps it's students?
Kinky!

For all else, there's m-w
On the contrary, I think that with the release of 1.4, Java's just getting started.
See this (no affiliation - just a satisfied customer) for an example.
For those who don't know what I'm talking about, read The Fourth Profession.
I used their web interface the first year, but then switched to their installed version in later years.
