That isn't common in my area (western part of Germany). You typically have your own washer / dryer although there might be a specific room in the basement where everyone puts theirs. Many people have them in their kitchen or bathroom, though.
OSX comes (used to come?) with outdated versions where a lot of Java programs don't run properly
Who cares what version is installed by default? OSX can be upgraded to the latest version, and any application that needs it ought to provide an installation package that does precisely that, or at least clear instructions to the user on how to do it.
As the person responsible for packing our commercial desktop Java app and maintaining its installer, I suggest just bundling the JVM with your product, but not as its own Installed package but inside your installation. It takes a bit of additional hard drive space if every app has its own JVM but it saves so much confusion and different version failures. The end user also doesn't have to worry about the abysmal Oracle updater because our JVM is not registered to handle browser applets or other stuff, so that security risk is just not there.
Maven is great when you are ready to give up many freedoms in how to setup your build structure and do things exactly as intended. Then it works very well. Most of my projects work with a single parent pom defining stuff like metadata, repositories, java version, a project pom for every module with nothing more then dependencies and a single aggregator pom bringing it all together. if you stay simple, Maven is great. If you want to do complicated stuff, stay away from it.
In my personal opinion, that is a great way to do things. Leave the individuality and innovation to the software, let the build system be conservative and dumb. A well written Maven build is short, uses few plugins and is easy to read and understand. It still needs work to set it up, learn about the right way to do things and possibly change old habits.
I you are not prepared to give up individuality in your build system, stay away from Maven, there are better tools for scripting a build.
You have been referring to "importing energy" before, but now you're talking about electricity. Germany exported more electricity in 2012 than they imported. And I have a source for that:
Technically you're right, because we import lots of oil, gas, natural gas from countries like russia. But I wanted to add that we actually export more electric power than we import. Of course, part of that is produced with the imported resources.
I guess Java installed via java.com or such packages on PCs is going away. Most of the stuff in Java runs on a server anyway. Applets/JavaFX were never that useful. We still develop a desktop application in Java but are seriously considering just bundling a JVM with the app and be done with it. Btw. that's the only way to get a java app into the Mac App Store - Not that I have ever tried to do that.
The only thing I will miss is Webstart - I really liked the concept.
While combination medicines are normally frowned upon, this particular one is actually more effective than either asprin or paracetamol alone in an equivalent dose, especially for stronger pain.
I'd say acetaminophen on its own is not the best medicine for a headache - doesn't work for me very well, either. The comination with aspirin and coffein (i.e. Excedrin) is actually the recommended medicine for a "tension headache". I respond very well to Ibuprofen (does that have a weird US marketing name, too?).
Wouldn't it be better to pay directly in Bitcoin? Let's say you get a choice using the product for "free" with ads or removing them in different packages (1 Week, 1 Month, Unlimited). It would be a fair model for payment and you could decide yourself if mining would be worth it or buying the bitcoins would be better. Transaction cost is pretty low even for very small amounts of Bitcoin as far as I know.

I had a cheap combined machine and it was absolute shit and broke down after a short time. Not advisable. Generally, separate machines work better.
And unlike vacuuming, i can switch on the laundry and go do something else.
I have a Roomba ;)

So you're not making green tea, then? ;)
I find running Java inside a browser to be, to put it politely, fucking retarded.
You're talking about applets, he's talking about having an application server serve HTML. I suppose.

Wouldn't a Raspberry PI be enough to emulate it at perfect speed? ;)
I like discreet GPUs...

Very delicate! Mmmmmmh... Sauerbraten!
Well, germany rears about 30 million turkeys a year.

Availability can be a bitch... Shows can disappear from a streaming service, probably because of licensing.
Any desktop applications still using java should probably stop assuming an installed JVM and bundle one. Has a few drawbacks, obviously.
Enrico Fermi's comment on how to manage the unknown is very instructive.

I'd like to read that comment, but a quick google search didn't bring up anything. Any pointers?

Great, if the customer is prepared to pay for n sprints, without knowing n before the end of the project.
You meant to say:
fool me once, shame on
shame on you.
Fool me
you can't get fooled again

All foods are atheist. At least, I've never met or heard of any food that claimed that it believed in a god.
Depends on your definition of "food".
It's the 80/20 rule:
- Never estimate less than 80 hours ;)
- Multiply estimate by 20
