Certainly, if we have a processor that can be modified to run any processor's code, it could be made to run the JVM "processor's" code. And since it does run-time optimization, it would run the applications faster.
Sun has been pushing its Java processors, but I haven't heard anything of them for years.
Probably their comments just didn't arrive in time for press. I can't see how a "yippee! we'er so happy to be here we're at risk of spontaneous combustion!" comment would be important:)
Why Apache probably is too busy to comment at the moment (from their web site): "The Apache Software Foundation has just begun its reorganization from the Apache Group to a not-for-profit corporation."
We live on a planet that is, as planets often are, shaped roughly as a round ball-like thingy. Not only that, but it tends to whirl around, giving us our praised days and nights. Think about it: I live in Eastern European Timezone. I wake up like, what, seven long hours before U.S. citizens. Not to mention Indian/.'ers (if you think only of american indians here, get a boost on that iq).
We from the other side of the globe would very much like to see news posted before we have to get to sleep:) so if/. could offer someone in, say, Oz, the ability to post stories, it would be really nice!
Sorry, should've been "sure", not "assured" - my English failed me there.
As for your point, I just can't read your original message so that anything understandable would come out. That led me into assuming it was a sophisticated-looking bunch of nonsense. Obviously, my limited ability of parsing English is to be blamed for this.
NT hasn't evolved around DOS because it's a branch of joint operating system project with IBM. The other branch is OS/2. Generally, you can't always take the old code/functionality if you target something very different, and I'm afraid that's the case with NT as well. As for your point about stupidity of GUI-based OS, I wholeheartedly agree.
I am assured that this mr. Valloppillil pretender is but a troll, but what the heck, it's always better to have a chat by the bridge than to go out and burn in sunlight.
A fine troll it seems, however, to gather positive moderation!
Simply put, your over-long sentence does not parse. I'll break it down:
"...the molecular polarity of any given molecule is directly proportional to the force" -
Excuse me, which "force"? What kind of a "force"?
"- exerted on that molecule by the forces of the systematic enviroment of that particular instance of the system object in question"
"if, that instance of course, has anything to do directly with that molecule"
What does "of course" refer to? "that instance" seems to refer to the previously mentioned "particular instance" of "system object." However, "system object" remains unspecified.
"the molecule's relationship directly, with that instance of the object's force."
What do you mean by this?
To put it simply, there's no way to find equivalence between the instantial force and the molecule's property grid.
Specify "instantial force" Specify "molecule's property grid" Specify relation to the first sentence Specify relation to changing chirality of a molecule?
Why couldn't Microsoft have made NT a multiuser/multitasking version of MS DOS ?
Why would/should they? On the other hand, isn't it?
1. a step toward optical switching, is this? 2. a step toward optical computing? 3. a practical nano-level machine part. 4. nano-sized lighting effects:P
If there's anyone who knows more about those, I'd be happy to hear whether they're relevant.
Is it just me or is this in its digital simplicity a much clearer advancement than the Canadian light-trap earlier this week? At least I find this exact data much more trustworthy.
Obviously, it'll take a while before this will be a part of any nanofactories' product line outcomes. In fact, those nanofactories have not yet been invented either. Who cares, if it's going to take another 20-50 years or so. The future is on its way!-)
OT: how come/. is only inhabited by trolls this weekend? Is it sunny spring in U.S. as well, or what?
The US used to fund radio stations shooting anticommunistic propaganda to the Eastern Block back in the days when anonymity was merely a matter of finding a typewriter.
Ha! Where is that "free speech" of capitalists now?!^)
Quite right indeed:) I should read what I answer to, perhaps?
Then again, that is exactly the reason why you have to assume that the average user is hostile. User itself might not be, but those who see the password might be.
Anyway, forcing it to be near random noise makes it less easy to be guessed without seeing that note.
Post-It's should come with self-destruction enabled in case they get a password-resembling string written on them!
If is passworded, the developer can do nothing about the user making their password their boyfriend's nickname, or putting it on a post-it note on their monitor.
The system must not accept foolishly easy passwords; it must enforce mixed-case with special characters.
There will always be first-time users, as well as human mistakes, and hot-headed if not straightforward evil intentions.
I'm all for educating users, but it can not be the sole basis of security, can it?
On the other hand, scaring lusers with love viruses is a great way to teach them about secure system. Or rather, less flawed ones.

I have nothing else to say about just another hype market failure.
From a purely functional viewpoint the monopoly nukement trials seem to do chock piles of goodness. Look at IBM: it's grown to a very clever player from the ultimate bully. I think every sufficiently big power concentration (governmental/corporational/religious/whatever) should be limited like that; what do our liberalists think? The worst problem is that there should always be a bigger power establishing the limits:P
Running Linux on IBM mainframes in their virtual-machine "userland" is nothing new in itself (was noticed on/. way ago), but large production deployment is only possible with official support.
Would you mind pointing out something that Windows does better? As for stability, efficiency, configurability and development-friendliness I think Unices are natural winners. Would you count wider software support as something an operating system "does better", or what do you mean?
Hadn't we both "GNU/Linux" and "Linux", as well as both "Open Source" and "Free Software", a lot more people would be missing the Indestructible Liberty ideal of FSF/RMS/GPL.
I have come to think that is the greatest achievement of OSI/ESR, not speeding up the Linux World Domination Project (LWDP).

Excuse me, which "force"? What kind of a "force"?

Sentence this long does not sense make.

Specify "question"
"if, that instance of course, has anything to do directly with that molecule"
What does "of course" refer to?
