Second example: this case. So the Vatican has been shown to be corrupt in its financial dealings, and what is their reaction? Hunt down the whistleblowers, rather than punish the ones doing the actual crime! It's the same kind of thinking--what threatens the Church, in their view, is not the failure to do the morally proper thing. It's whomever exposes their leadership for the arrogant crimes they commit under the guise of being holy.
Find and replace and will still make complete sense:
You are right!
I do not know all the fine print regarding the JDK, but I have always think of the garbage collector as an internal feature.
If they continue to publish the JSR's and they are good specifications (not like the OOXML) any open source project can implement them as they see fit and people will use the best open source solution or will pay for the Oracle implementation if they want.
You can see the example in J EE. You have JBoss, Jonas, WebSphere, WebLogic, etc.
While the handling of Vi or Emacs actually *is* breathtakingly bizar and unwieldy, what you're saying is not correct. If someone actually takes the time to learn to use Emacs and the extensions it offers for developement - which can take a few years - it can be the most powerfull and fast IDE out there
Well, you hit it! No reasonable developer (not to mention company) want's to spend a few years mastering a tool. In the case of coding for fun, I would like to start working on what I am interested in, not spending ages trying to figure out the editor.
In the case of companies, they just want to hire a developer and turn him into a productive contributor as soon as possible (usually a month or less)
I once work with one of them (don't remember if it was Vi or Emacs) and I couldn't figure out how to get out of it or how to open the help, so I had to restart the machine:-(
They buy the equipment to record, sign up with Amazon/Apple/whoever to manufacture/distribute, and then sign up with Label A for promotion. Label A gets a cut of the sales, but doesn't own any rights to the music.
I see the future a bit different. I would like to pay to the promotion companies (labels?) a fee per service with a clear way to measure the effectiveness.
I don't think they will get any where with a business case like:
"Give me a fix part of your income and trust me, I am doing what is best for you."
... In a school project, its 2 weeks of trying to understand and clarify what the prof actually wants you to do, and 3 days of hacking together some minimal pile of garbage that just barely does it. In the real world, you actually care about overall architecture, design, methodologies for coordinating a team, maintainability, testability, etc.
This difference you mention is plain wrong! That makes me think you have not worked in any "real world" project.
Most of the project have an ill-defined set of requirements and an unrealistic delivery date. So, you have to spend 2 months of trying to understand and clarify what the customer actually wants, and 3 weeks of hacking together some minimal pile of garbage that just barely does it.
I think the problem with this could come from two corners:
1- The people at Cisco are not as confident with their source code as the people of Linux, Free/Net/OpenBSD
2- There are back doors in the Cisco systems for the government to use and they are afraid anyone else might find them useful!
This sounds like the old James Bond(TM) movies or similar ones. The thief breaks a system, takes and changes what he wants to and after a year the most powerful U.S. security agencies do not even know what was taken.
The idea of democracy is that you can express your opinions and try to get others to think as you do. So, it is worth to figh against software patents if you found that you are expanding your way of thinking.
The reason behind the power of the corporation is because they say: I represent myself and all my employees (that is not necessarily true, but the politicians do not care about it). However, in theory, we should able to:
Identify our position about a topic.
Select a set of representatives
Loby to get support from other people
Go to elections
Do as we said that we were going to do in the congress.
In this moment is aready ilegal to use the ICE's data network for VoIP trafic because it competes with the ICE's voice network (ICE has a monopoly on voice trafic). However, the problem is not the personal use of it, the problem begins when you want to profit on it, because it would be unfair competence:
You pay a personal connection to the internet.
You set a business of international phone calls.
You are using the ICE's network for something that is not allowed according your contract.
The problem here is that the ICE is a monopoly and you cannot select any other ISP, but in normal conditions, any company is allow to stablish the conditions of use for its resources.
Interesting! This magazine will give corporate users more confidence on Linux. There will be little new technical information in this site. However, people from companies will find it very usefull, in the same way that they find usefull the Oracle or DB2 magazines. It is just corporate support to the products that they are buying.
Great!
Like most people, I've only scratched the surface (well, maybe I gouged it a bit) of the capabilities of the Microsoft Office products.
Maybe it is because must of the people don't really need all that features. According with the pareto rule the 80% of the people will use only 20% of the included features. The computer systems should be built to address the needs of the customers, not to provide features and then let the users figure out what to do with them.
The companies have problems because the products are not selling very well. That means that they need to cut costs by finding cheaper ways to run their business processes.
Unfortunately the IT function in the companies is losing its relevance or importance. IT is not longer required for competitive advantage and that means that there are less reasons to hire highly skilled people.
The solution: outsourcing. Hire cheaper people from overseas or send your development centers to other countries. IT is not longer a valuable resource to create competitive advantage and the companies can live with the average service.
Yes, its interesting, however, it doesn't worth the money. You cannot find there any information that you cannot find anywhere else (e.g.: pictures from places that you want to visit).
I think that Google is just trying to expand its business in order to find new ways to do money. The search engine competition is very hard these days. Google has brand recognition, so they must capitalize on it with other business.
China will be the next important country in the near future (U.S is history). So, the EU is getting some bullets!
Even when China supports the EU location, is just a matter of time the raise of competition between the two. The idea: Get a good position with the help of your friends to destroy your friends!

Which one? Of all the Roman gods, Pluto is the one not short of lackeys.
Charon -> Used!

Allecto
Tisiphone
Megaera -> For the 6th

Oh, come on!
Please read history before you post.
The only reason Galileo was not burned alive is because he was a close friend to the pope.
It was his colleges who wanted him death because his ideas were against the ideas they had based their entire carriers on.
The academic establishment is even more reluctant to change than the catholic church.
You can't give me screwed up results if you don't know who I am.
What makes you believe that Google needs you login to their products to know who you are?
I am pretty sure they could make a reasonable guess about who you are based on the search profile of the IPs you use.
Not yet. For Skynet to become sentience it needs to infect the GiG and a sufficiently large number of machines.
The second part is ongoing (the botnet is growing), the first part is just waiting for the opportune moment!

The comments are not as bad as the people moderating them. Can you explain me how this thing got motherated 3:Interesting:
This thing shows me that people here knows almost nothing about these matters and that the Science category is Off-Topic.
