You haven't been in very many relationships, have you. Presuming you are male, there are more female personalities than grains of sand on the world's beaches (many women have more than one, which ones did you actually see?). When they come back, you have no idea precisely why. Once you answer that, you might find it is for love...or not.
Calling any company is becoming a contact sport. I was informed by Verizon that my credit card number they had was expiring. So go to Verizon and try to log in...no dice. They eliminated my login I've had for a few years. I recently got FIOS. So now I was invited to register. Hmmm...what's this? I must run Verizon's special piece of CrapWare on my Mac just to register for an account? No fucking way am I letting Verizon run anything on my machine. AT&T got a note from my credit card company and updated automatically...one more fucking game Verizon throws at your head.
What to do? Call Verizon...find all their numbers for this, that, and the other are connected up to the same damn phone bot. Try to navigate the phone menus, finally find a human who will hopefully take my new experi date . "Oh, that is a problem for our billing dept. Let me transfer you." "Uh, okay"....damn...back in phone menu hell right up at the top where I started. After 4 rounds of this, always reaching a different piece of proto-simian meat, I finally found a way to get to billing which seemed to surprise the billing person out of her nap. Finally fixed it. "Is there anything else I can do for you?" "No...NO NO NO...don't even think about it."
Along the way, I was offered free movies for my FIOS for three months...I was "eligible". No way, I've been through that before with Verizon and FIOS. 3 phone calls later I finally got them to drop the damn movies after they started charging me, hoping to slip it onto the bill without my notice.
It isn't just the buffer overflows and it isn't just a reader. It now as active content which means it is essentially a vehicle for mobile code...even if the mobile code is somewhat restricted.
Yep, it would certainly be a good thing if the U.S. and Israel stopped trying to stop Iran from building a bomb so the rest of the mid-east and s. asia can get on with the job of arming themselves with nuclear weapons. They have very stable societies and well-adjusted governments.
I like iWork and it does read MS formats, but it does not display them very well nor if you resave can you get the same MS look back when loaded into MS Malware. I wait for the day when that can happen and I can kick MS crap off my machine for good.
Yes, and your recommendation for Haskell reflects your not having a clue for the current market. I very much like Haskell, but it is a functional language with really tough type checking. It isn't something you are going to use to build business apps.
The best advice is to investigate companies bringing overseas work back in country and/or doing rural sourcing. Find out what kinds of languages they are using and then learn those.
Yes, but the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam in Iraq were much worse than the weenie Saudis. Mind you, both are scared to death of women, but Saddam gassed the Kurds and the Brits uncovered about 300,000 Shi'ites in mass graves where Saddam had stored them for safe keeping. The Taliban used Al Qaeda as shock troops much like the SS, which incidentally they derive much of their philosophy. It was nothing to them to go in and kill an entire village of Hazaras (Hazaras are Shi'ite, the Taliban are Sunni, generally those loving Wahabi types...too bad they weren't the Watootsie type, then at least we'd get some decent dance steps instead of dead dancers), Turkmen, Uzbeks, or Tajiks so it could be owned by the Pashtun.
The Taliban, for all their Allah-mongering, are essentially an ethnic group which pick up useful idiots along the way. They have every intention of creating an Islamic Caliphate for S. Asia...where no woman will be safe, neither any Christian, nor Hindi, nor even Sufist muslims. The basic problem is the Wahabis cannot stand the idea that someone, somewhere might be enjoying life and it not contributing to mind-deadening Allah worship. "Allah is Greatest, I shall not think!" is more or less their motto. The Saudis think the same thing, but they haven't yet taken to killing off their locals. Wait until their Shi'ite minority gets really restive. I'm sure they'll find a reason for mass killing in the Koran.
JVM's do not produce bytecodes, they interpret it. Compilers produce bytecodes. Now, it is possible to write an interpreter that given a Dalvik program, will produce JVM code that does the same thing. Possibly. How will you know it does the same thing? You might trying proving it, that would probably be do able, kinda, but it isn't a slam dunk given parallelism. And even if they could, does this mean that just because you can interpret one in another, the first is an instance of the other. I don't think so.
Then there are some who somehow got it into their heads that simply because something is Turing complete, it is totally equivalent to something else that is Turing complete. Okay, let's compare Snobol and APL. Both are Turing complete? Want to argue they are the same thing? Or take Haskell, where is all that nice type checking in the Turing machine world? And if this argument were to fly, Oracle could hang it up right now because their Java is nothing more than a Turning machine.
I can see it now, a dark smokey room and Oracle's kneebiter lawyers are quizzing Sun's kneebiter lawyers over patents, copyrights, and Java:
Oracle: This Java stuff, we use it a lot, is there any hope of monetizing it?
Sun: (pregnant pause) Oh fer sure, fer sure, we think you can monetize the hell out it; we've just been sooooo busy that we haven't quite been able to get it to ourselves. But a crack legal team like YOURS, you should be able to make beeeeeelllliooons. Errrr...now how much were you willing to give us for Sun?
You are free to do something similar to C, yet I doubt you'll find anyone attempting to sue you. You cannot patent or copyright a language. The infrastructure that Google built isn't an issue, Google developed it via a clean room.
Try rereading what you wrote with C in place of Java. You cannot patent or copyright a language. All Google did was write a different infrastructure for the language.
I think he'd have to shoot the sales staff first, if I recall correctly the paragraph on what he wants to do. Personally, I think butt shots work best to get their attention, otherwise they'll spend their lives making misery for the rest of the company over the Pain they are enduring.
The Chinese military is more likely gearing up for a run at Taiwan, to cover the nakedness of the Chinese government's illegitimacy. They'd be needing to hold off the U.S. long enough for their invasion to be a fait accompli.
I think it matters what you do with your wealth. If you are small potatoes, you are likely more invested in the U.S. than you are in foreign countries. If you have a lot of wealth, you tend to be more global since you can now afford the expert help it takes to not lose your shirt. We do have foreign funds in our IRAs, so you can do it probably without getting burned, but Gates will still invest a larger amount outside the U.S.
It matters where money is invested and spent. Wealthy people tend to live in large houses with expensive toys. That is a rather poor way to invest in the U.S.

Funny you bring this up. I have here a new marketing campaign from Apple:
Tablets are crap; we only did this to con you poor consumers into consuming news outlets' propaganda. Please buy more.
There, there, let it all out. Try the little yellow pills next time.

Blow it out your ass. The Nazis were evil. MS is just scum, there's a difference.

Come Larry, stop posting under an alias, we might starting thinking that you are, yknow...like a weenie.

Hmmm...massive gas bubbles...and right after the U.S. election. Coincidence?
Yes, and the glove slipped so easily over Oracle's hand that they didn't even notice.
Yeah, that's right. The Chinese got pissed and decided to play Russian roulette with our response to them firing a missile off our coast.
It was also to counter-balance the Chinese in S. Asia. They've been playing a lot down there and the U.S. isn't happy about it.
The Chinese military is more likely gearing up for a run at Taiwan, to cover the nakedness of the Chinese government's illegitimacy. They'd be needing to hold off the U.S. long enough for their invasion to be a fait accompli.
Nope, he was in Indonesia or on his way to Korea at the time this thing went off.
Let's have more of that. At least their CEO wasn't just wanking off.
