Part of me wants to boycott Sont forever, and part of me wants to thank them for being so stupid, inept and evil that they've probably permanently discredited DRM. Kind of reminds me of Lotus and copy protection from years back.
That's a really interesting point. My first reaction to the question was to say that Java lets you write code faster, not so much re-inventing the wheel; that the richness of available library functions allows the test writer that much more speed and flexibility. But I think you've actually hit on the real reason that test frameworks for C++ are so difficult, and so unreliable. Since most of the bad (that is non-obvious) C++ bugs tend to be memory related, Java wins because it has garbage collection - and doesn't have pointers.

Darknets Coming Soon?

> Thanks for the explanation, but does everything on a darknet have to be ROT-13 encoded?
No, of course not. ROT-13 is the crypto equivalent of leaving the key under the doormat. The biggest use of it I've seen is in discussion groups to "hide" spoilers like movie endings or some such. A real darknet requires reasonably strong crypto. If the RIAA can pick up your traffic with a packet sniffer and trivially decode it, what's the point of doing it in the first place?

PowerPoint is nothing short of social malware.
I wish I had a nickel for every PowerPoint presentation I've suffered through that was created to cover the fact that the speaker had nothing of value to say.

So, Google is going to blanket every square inch of their home city with "Wi-Fi antennas" eh?
Turn their home town into an Internet "hot-spot" eh?
All at "no charge" eh?
Pass the tinfoil.
Here's a hint: in The Jungle, Upton Sinclair, writing a book by, for, and about socialism, spent two pages describing the maggots going into the sausage, and fifty-seven pages quoting inspiring, Socialist "Wonderful (thanks STNG fans) Speeches". Today we have the FDA, but no American Socialist party. Sinclair was quoted as saying "I aimed for their minds, but I got their stomaches".
As to your statements about the French governmant, I understand that their five-color alert status is as follows:
1) Smugness, Rudeness
2) Hiding, Smirking
3) Running, Dissembling
4) Surrender, Denial
5) Capitulation, Revisionism
