There's nothing stopping you from NATing your entire ipv4 network behind an ipv6->ipv4 gateway, and IIRC, ipv6 has ipv4 compatibility built into it. This is a non-issue.
A piece of software I worked on many years ago used a similar version of the above to crash when it discovered an internal consistency error. No big deal, usually, because every user interface operation was recorded for posterity.
But it shocked the fsck out of me to know someone was deliberately doing:
Why not add support for WebDav? I've got a similar problem with a document management/CMS system I'm putting together for my father's manufacturing business, and without a semi-decent webdav interface, it's going to be too much of a pain for him to use.
And someone has obviously never gone between major compiler/OS revisions, say from NT 3.1/VC++ 2.0 to NT 4/VC++ 4. Portable coding is required, even when staying on a single platform, because technologies evolve and are deprecated (MAPI/CDO) (ODBC/RDO/ADO).
Nevermind the fiasco that was Windows 95/98/ME/NT support. One platform (Win32), 4 different incarnations. Thankfully that painful bit of history is over.
While I agree with your "well-defined entry/exit point" argument, any program that gets its comms on by trading signals back and forth is A) not portable and B) not well designed. Named Pipes, sockets, all are more programmable, understandable, reactive interfaces that pose no issues with reentrancy or platform incompatibilities, such as Windows, which has CRAP for interprocess signals.
In the softdrink industry, Coca-Cola would have a case. Anywhere else, and perfectly normal, ancient usages of the word coke are fair game.
Coke (n) The solid residue of impure carbon obtained from bituminous coal and other carbonaceous materials after removal of volatile material by destructive distillation. It is used as a fuel and in making steel.
Always, always, always make sure you have a signed (ITEMIZED) receipt when doing CC transactions. My father got burned when one of his sales reps at a trade show sold some floor stock to a visitor and then contested the charge a month later.
Correction: It's not allowed to because of Copyright and licensing issues, not patents. The original WindowsXP XEN Guest was developed under an MS Educational Source License, and hence is not redistributable.
I already do this with Client setups whenever I start a new gig. Take my personal laptop which has greater and varied resources available to me to perform a job, and install the specialized environment they require to work on their network. I simply don't enjoy carrying two laptops around.
Nevermind the fact that databases, web servers and software in general just IS NOT designed for point-in-time redos. Especially tiered applications. Apps will need to be rebuilt to take advantage of this feature.
Half the people responding to this article are either "Unix Invented it First" fanboys, or people who forget that there are still entire generations of Windows platforms out there that are NOT based on NT, and hence have no capability for this sort of feature at all.

Um, and what'all does that have to do with anything? Unix could be 100% reimplemented in Java, and fairly transparently, at that. LibC is the only thing that would need changing, except perhaps some very specialized kernel tools.
That's not the same thing as adding a feature like drive letters to Unix, while still maintaining the flat namespace.
If all you need is a row/column semi SQL-92 compliant database, then Access is pretty okay. If you want to build applications using Access + VBForms, you should be shot.
I got paid to write some last year, and I'll never do it again. The pain of a simple Office upgrade breaking all your apps is too great. I mean, Office 2000 -> 2002 removed the DateTimePicker control. That alone cost me quite a bit of time to fix.
They landed on Mars in the 70's. So while we had little idea of the EXACT conditions on the surface where the rovers landed, we had a general idea of what Mars was like.
I'm not so sure I want to see hate-speech outlawed. I want to see those people out there in public where I can mark them and know never to associate with them and to fight their hatred, rather than let their bigotry stew in silence and secrecy.
What stops you from distributing a package containing these libs and doing the "same exact thing" that you do on Windows?
If it's LGPL, or similar, it's no big deal to redistribute libraries. I don't understand? You want to do one thing on one platform, then go out of your way to do something completely different on another platform when you don't even have to...

It had to. So many game servers were being immature, and letting people say "Die Fucker", and "Eat Shit & Die", but if you say "owned", "0wned", you got booted...
Okay, so when I have to figure out what the option:
<optimize memory for applications>
maps to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\....
or I can just go
cat/etc/server.conf | grep -i optimize
When I'm writing software that needs to know what things map to so that I can tailor my configuration based on the system I'm being installed to, the Microsoft way isn't so hot.
Credit cards are the preferred choice for electronic transactions. Since it's a pay AFTER you use, as opposed to pay as you use, if fraud occurs, you're not out the money that you were defrauded. I never use my debit cards online.
If you don't carry keys, that means you leave your house unlocked, live with mommy, or have a key drop somewhere, in which case, you have bigger things to worry about, or have nothing worth stealing.
As to your point #2, I would have to agree. I think the status quo is just fine, I've never had to deal with bank fraud simply because I never fall for the phishing schemes. I have had a number of fraudulent transactions appear on my credit card however. Since anyone can generate a credit card number, and most vendors are not at all vigilant about data tracting/verification, practically anyone can get away with it.
Witness the huge rise in gas-card fraud since Katrina. It will only get larger as POS vendors don't even bother looking at the card, asking for ID, etc.

Java has NO problems with IPC.

Please don't take this the wrong way... I hope you fail. One thing I don't need is advertising that can track me because I'm wearing my Nike's.
Which is sad. Advertising and it's associated costs surely have a proportional relationship to price inflation, no?
Less ads, more profit!?!

Um, no, that would be to fools in the Win32 department who did that. Petzold was just following the trend.
Because after Matt Pietrek, Charles Petzold is probably the most popular Windows developer around.
