One thing I respect that dude for, is his ambition. Not even the 'strongest' nation on earth could derail him. Think about that for a second.
A quote I remember in one interview he had with the BBC...
"I get personal satisfaction when I expose what governments have denied the citizens they represent and will continue to do so till the very end."
This dude is one hell of a dude. I wonder what governments really fear if all they are doing is 'doing good' as they say.
One thing for sure: We now know what many governments were thinking despite the public rhetoric. I personally cannot wait for the financial documents to be exposed. My hunch...BoA.
I'd rather die early than be put in a nursing home with folks wiping my butt not to mention the terrible loneliness. Dude, visit any nursing home to see what I mean.
...indeed that being 'too clean' is disastrous to one's health. Having spent more than 15 years in Africa, I came to the observation that folks over there are allergic to nothing I could tell. Not pollen, nuts, honey, dust...name it!
When I came to America, I found it strange to see that people were allergic to certain smells during summer! Insane.
The trouble is that companies continue to tout these so called hygiene products which in effect, make people's lives miserable. The fact is that bacteria found in the environment are more or less harmless.
"...After last month's unfortunate ruling by Canada's Federal Court that Amazon's 1-click shopping idea could be patented..."
It's been my understanding that the only things that are patentable are 'methods' but not 'ideas'. So are we in the regime that supports the notion of patenting ideas?
If that's the case, I better file a patent application for the idea of having the computer 'read my mind' then enable the typing of my thoughts. This can be useful in saving folks what has come to be known as carpal tunnel syndrome.
It's currently running an unknown Android version but according to the Acer executives the tablets will be running Google's tablet version of Android, Honeycomb.
So which is which? The version of Android is unknown to who? If it were unknown to the author, he should have said so. Otherwise news snippets like these add to the notion that there is chaos in Android's ecosystem, which is incorrect.
(note: you are NOT seeing real-time quotes... you are simply seeing quotes as they are made available to you... you are NOT executing trades instantly... they are executed after being processed and transmitted)
Your statements are grammatically correct. They also make sense. But whether I can get my quotes without some entity making these quotes available to me baffles my mind. How else would I be in position to obtain these quotes without someone availing them to me? You tell me sir.
Same logic applies to your second part: Of course some processor somewhere handles the data. This is obvious. When we say 'instantly' or 'rel-time', we are talking about the absence of the 'requirement to wait'.
'Wait' here, is a loaded word for there is a tiny time-lag between the time a trader clicks 'yes' to the return of a confirmed or unconfirmed transaction.
Now let's be serious please. I am sure you understand what I am talking about.
As a currency speculator (on the side I must say), I wonder whether this job of mine would be possible without the employment of Java and its technologies. Seeing real-time currency quotes and executing trades instantly is something that I will always appreciate.
Those that want to 'fracture' Java for short term gains should be stopped. What other technology can stream live price quotes like Java does? Any? Does Java 'rule' this space?
I have always wondered why being on the Top500 list of supercomputers that important for those on the list. I will be better served by being told the advantage(s) or edge those who've been on that list have gotten since they got onto the list. Thanks.
When it comes to capacitive screens and associated gadgets, battery life is where help is needed. Whoever comes up with technology to extend battery life will reap big. Who wants to recharge a gadget every night? Who has that time to even remember? Should we all carry extra battery packs just because we own a smart phone?
But there's a certain heart-strings appeal to such a computer intended as an educational tool for precisely those kind of places where basic infrastructure (like the provision of electricity) is a stumbling block.
That appeal will remain just that: An appeal, which sadly delivers no results in most cases.
OK, but the Java license specifically demands that Java be implemented in full with no additions or subtractions (I para phrase). What Google have done is to implement subsets of "Java", and call it something else.
Everyone can see that though they do not call their implementation Java, the implementation is indeed Java to a great extent. That is where Google might lose in my opinion.
Having a flow chart would clear up so many issues surrounding patents. Here is the question:
What line of reasoning must hold water before a patent is deemed valid?
If you read this story, you realize that each party is asserting their position as the valid one. To me, the confusion surrounding this topic is hitting me hard. A flow chart would help out a lot.
In a world where one politician with a call girl is forced to resign and another is handily reelected, there is no hope for moral or intellectual consistency in crowd-sourced or moderated content.
The Republicans made so much noise prior to the just concluded elections and they won...won big! Now their maths awaits the test. The modus operandi is:
Make so much noise so often, and your argument will be believed. Even when it carries no sense at all.
"A computer security researcher says he plans to release code Thursday that could be used to attack some versions of Google's Android phones over the Internet. The attack targets the browser in older, Android 2.1-and-earlier versions of the phones.
How can he be permitted to release something, which when used as intended, does harm to others? This is insane...and he does it "in the light of day!"
Other tools that folks have used to harm others have dual use...but for this code, I do not see any use save for harm. What am I missing?
I have always wondered why the text in these books is not clear. The blurry fonts make my eyes hurt and surely, Google can create a better interface for the main page. Just 1 million dollars can do so much if some expert were hired to revamp the site. Come on Google!
"Cisco this week unveiled software designed to let companies track customers and prospects on social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, blogs and other public forums and sites.
Are they inviting a lawsuit? These folks must be crazy! Anything that breaks the law by being used as the inventor intended breaks the invites a lawsuit. This is one such product Simple as that.
Google is already in our internet search lives, our phones, and email. Google is already plotting to get into our living rooms and kitchens. Where will this stop? Guys, I am getting quite concerned about Google. Who wouldn't be?

How about that?
Here's why:
I have a Chrome bug to submit, log onto my Google account, type details of my bug and sadly, I find the 'submit' button disabled.
Sometimes, I am not surprised that Google Wave "bit the dust."
Is it Microsoft, through the 'backdoor?' I hope not.

That's one question that still troubles me. Sadly I can't find an answer in today's America.
If anything, Java is going to be slower than most native languages
Care to name some examples? Please spare me .NET and C#. These two never existed in the late 90s.

For USA cellular phone networks, It's all about the money. Period!
