I'd say durability is relative... If a commit is written to a commit log on disk before it is reported successful, it may be _more_ durable than holding it in memory, but it can still get lost (drive failure, catastrophic event at the site of the server). So while there may even be a few orders of magnitude between the "durability values" of the two approaches, I'm not sure it is correct to say one is durable, while the other is not.
In particular, writing: It's designed that right-handers are dragging the writing implement behind their hand in a smooth gliding motion. For left-handers we're smashing the point into the page in front of our hand, making it highly variable and irregular (a non-equilibrium), and then also smearing the hand over what we just wrote. Truly a pain. That's specifically the reason why my uncle (for example) was forced to switch by my grandparents tying his left hand behind his back.
I have proposed that lefties learn to write upside-down, so you would be starting in the lower right corner and go left from there, then move up a line. For people that can't read upside-down, they just need to rotate the paper by 180 degrees.
Unfortunatly, none of the left-handed people I know have reacted positively to my suggestion. Don't know why.
I'd say a lawyer could be a doctor, too. And probably most are. Here in Germany, many politicians have a doctorate in some academic field, though most not medical. I'm not sure about this in the U.S., Wikipedia says Woodrow Wilson was the only president with one.
I don't like oracle either. But if you are writing a webstartable application, you probably have the infrastructure to sign your own jars. So you could sign the Java3D-jars yourself and distribute them together with your application. Depending on availability of something like http://download.java.net/media/java3d/webstart/release/j3d/1.5.2/windows-i586/j3dcore-d3d_dll.jar - signed or not - isn't really advisable anyway.
I may have some data about your theory. For quite some time now (a few years), I have a catch-all on my domain, so I can basically use any address I want. When some site wants my email, I give it firstname.@mydomain.de. Now, from time to time, I look through my spam folder to do a bit of research. Turns out, most of the spam goes to an adress I have used in the far past on usenet or variations of it. Second in rank is a random string as username (comes naturally with a catch-all) and right after that is my vanilla firstname@mydomain.de, that I give to friends and also have used on sites before I started this scheme. In the current month, there are about five to ten spam messages (out of a few thousand) that can be tracked to the place where I entered them, and these places are two semi obscure forums and stuffit.com.
I guess you will be able to replay the "campaign" in the game, but stuff like boni you earned or high scores will always stay with the game. Still bad enough, but probably not what most people here are assuming.

Let's try to switch it further: Mario as the bad guy, DK must be rescued. Maybe DK has a daughter?
In what version of java is this legal?
I think his point was, Java is harder because it does not allow that style of coding.
Just for the record, I don't agree. The line looks too complicated to be understood efficiently.

Well, AIM came from AOL which never really operated anywhere but in the US.
Just a few points to add: AOL was fairly widespread in Germany, and with it the AIM. Also, when AOL acquired ICQ, they connected the networks.
It's probably all WhatsApp and Facebook IM these days, although I stopped using IM networks.
It doesn't work for everything, or even most things. But have you ever heard of snakebite anit-venom. Guess what, that's homeopathic!
You're confusing it with snake oil.
The nouveau project and wayland can just go away as far as I am concerned.
In Soviet Russia, you can just go away!
Tomato is not sweet?
You mean, just like slaves? They were given all that, most of the time.

In theory, reality should be about consistent with theory.
In reality, though...

I don't use Java3D but if you look at the jnlp file at http://download.java.net/media/java3d/webstart/release/java3d-latest.jnlp you can see how native libraries are included depending on os:

In a strange reversion of normal slashdot operating procedure, I read the summary, but not the title.
The summary is talking about optimization for "smartphones and other mobile devices using Intel chips". Totally not what you read into it.
This may be debatable, but shops close when you have free time because the people who work there would like to have free time, too.
I totally agree. Also, it's not about the noobs. I suspect most experienced java programmers cant' code the correct try/catch/finally/try/catch for a resource access without looking it up. Check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4092914/java-try-catch-finally-best-practices-while-acquiring-closing-resources
To be honest, the small ones are not that uncommon in Europe either, probably because they need less space and are less expensive.

aside from the fact that I'm in the ugly interface mode
just switch it off ;)

Sorry for the mistake, in my first language "boni" would have been correct.
I guess you will be able to replay the "campaign" in the game, but stuff like boni you earned or high scores will always stay with the game. Still bad enough, but probably not what most people here are assuming.
