Let's not forget that the Java on cellphones, J2ME, is a small subset of J2SE or J2EE. The interpreter may not speed up too much J2SE code. J2ME API's (maybe VM?) seem to be open source already based on a quick google search: http://www.sun.com/software/communitysource/j2me/ atleast the MIDP/CLDC/CDC parts.
It would be interesting to know exactly how the chipmakers went about implementing the interpreters in hardware and/or firmware.
ebay's culture is profit, they've raised auction prices like a monopolist would be expected to do. I don't know how open their API is, but they've certainly gone the wrong way in banning google checkout.
Yeah, you're right, let's just call the missile defense system fully working and functional. No need to worry about the potential N Korean missile launch.
The recent series of posts on freedom to tinker should get very, very interesting in light of this new information, since he elluded to this (biggest database ever) in the first post in this series.
Seriously though, the government's right to build databases is constitutionally protected, does not have any statute of limitations placed on it, and must not be infringed upon!
Once again, what part of, you cannot impeach a king, do you people not get?
Well said, but lets not forget the part where the offering is only right for an investor if it's below his or her risk threshold.
my.02: The unknown in this is the VoIP market, and recent news about Vonage opening up SIP-credentials and the like, so after-market products can pop-up with asterisk PBX software is very very encouraging (I could imagine myself opening up a neighborhood telephone company, which can provide door service). Vonage doesn't have to offer the products themselves, they just have to collect the monthly fee from the new middle-man. There's a minimum customer-base right there. Growth on the other hand is much harder, and given that telephony doesn't have government made monopolies anymore, the market is bound to be more split-up. Vonage has built up a customer base, and infrastructure with routers that come with remotely upgradeable firmware. While that may not be hard to do for a telco or someone who sells routers, for someone like Vonage, that's quite a feat I would think. With the internet becoming an increasing commodity in most countries, the market should be big, if it wasn't for the telco's of the world. But, will the telco's offer open SIP-credentials?
Except, nobody stil seems to agree on what the "Right Thing" is. One could still argue that linux with selinux is still better than anything in the microkernel world.
Andy says insecure and unreliable? I think not. I don't think implementation is the problem here.
That friendly conversation is hilarious. "Linus:...linux still beats the pants of minix in almost all areas"
"Andy:...I still maintain the point that designing a monolithic kernel in 1991 is a fundamental error. Be thankful you are not my student. You would not get a high grade for such a design:-)"
The most interesting part: "Linus: The very/idea/ of an operating system is to use the hardware features, and hide them behind a layer of high-level calls. That is exactly what linux does: it just uses a bigger subset of the 386 features than other kernels seem to do. Of course this makes the kernel proper unportable, but it also makes for a/much/ simpler design. An acceptable trade-off, and one that made linux possible in the first place."
you guys clearly need a samba (SMB) search engine... like seek42. This is \., but if you're not a CS major, get a hold of one to set it up on a linux box.
If you're lucky, the college CS department will host it for you (with a domain name you can tell everyone to type in their url) if you can convince them into thinking it's just a college phpBB site.
Apart from the streamers, who insist on not downloading for some reason, that is good idea... a bunch of wrt54g's, although they still might get saturated if all the people on one floor start using it or something. Maybe with the new 802.11whatever, but we already have gigabit now...
It's quite hard to make the censorship case though, the kind of stories that do well are perfectly suited to the digg demographic, digital artists, and offcourse mac fans. Other stories do make it, but don't do as well in terms of diggs.
It should only be logical that the demographic play a big role in the kind of stories that do good on digg, It's the simplest of markets, one digg, one user.
I'm not saying it's their job, I'm saying we should tax corporations at the normal rate instead of rates between 5-10%, Getting them off corporate welfare, and subsidize renewable energy instead, with national research labs leading the way, like you said.
Oil companies can go from finding one 100m barrel field to another 100m barrel field all they want in the gulf, until they realize it's in their interest to start investing in renewable energy like Brazilian companies have done. What's amazing is, the technology exists, on a large scale... yet it's oblivious to Exxon because the market for crude oil is still large and just too profitable, regardless of how self-destructive it might be.
It is political, when there is lobbying done by Exxon to further only it's cause, with no regard to the environment or energy independence. The opinion journal article even contemplates cutting federal funding for climate research. One party has already taken a side... in fact, both know where they stand. Bush's statement at the G8 was hopeful, as was the state of the union speech, but it's back to politics as usual on this issue and just about everything else.
You can't seriously point to an opinon journal article as being unbiased, logical, and unmotivated. Like the right wing response to other things recently, we'll learn more if we cut off funding... you can't be serious.
I'll do backflips all the way to China when I hear the same amount of criticism about Exxon funding lobbying and strongarm groups to get what they want at the expense of the environment from the beloved opinion journal. Independent scienctists are unanimous in their view, the rest are propogandists funded by Exxon.
Or, if that DB actually had more information like how people weren't being vaccinated enough, or data about the real cause of the rise, or the data mining technique was smart enough to cancel ice cream eating based on some other fact, or...
I do agree with c, teaching analysis takes time. If that makes any sense.
Back to analyzing stock market patterns...

The real threat here is the moniker "radicalized bloggers", that's something the right could use till cows come home.

Stevens showed some hope when he realized iPods and music w/o DRM may be a good thing, but the e-mail thing set him back again.

You mean a samba search engine to find such files isn't allowed either?
Now, it's personal!
Is that what your gut says?
how is this different from code obfuscators?
Slate had a whack at this a very long time ago.

diggcode might be good to play around with.
