Azureus uses SWT, and can, like Eclipse, be compiled to native binaries using GCJ (or various other native Java compilers). Such binaries are often far faster and less memory-hungry than JVM-run Java applications.

That's a very bold generalization to make. It is almost RIAA-esqe.
There could very well be a family wishing to share a large collection of digital family videos that they have taken at holidays and birthdays, for instance. They want them to remain fairly private while sharing the content that they own.
BitTorrent has many, many legitimate uses. It is completely incorrect to claim that all users who wish to limit the sharing of their data are pirates.

That's an idea that has been around for ages. It's just that its proponents are far more organized now than they were years ago.
Sure, they are getting a lot of publicity and having some effect in certain areas, but then you have to consider which areas those are. Kansas isn't known as a hub of scientific discovery, for instance. It really doesn't matter what they want to believe. The world as a whole, including most Christians, see ID for the nonsense that it is.
Only a fool without even a minute literary background would even consider Fitzgerald amongst the greatest authors of the 20th century. And if he did spell horribly, then that explains why his works aren't all that enlightening. They were mostly his editors' works then, rather than his own.
Your analogy with Michael Jordon is flawed. It would be more akin to us wrongfully considering Linus Torvalds a fantastic programmer if he wrote kernel code like this:

No. What we should do in such a situation is call him the fucking moron that he is. That's what I did with the poster I replied to.
You should run memtest, or otherwise check your RAM. It may be faulty.
Konqueror does not crash. I have used a single instance for months without it ever even slowing down, let alone crashing outright. It is quite possible that your hardware is faulty, and that is why you are encountering similar crash frequency for the various programs you use.
But as shown in Afghanistan and Iraq, all the US can currently accomplish is the first part of your suggestion.
They could invade Kansas, but not install democracy. What we'd end up with is yet another quagmire of religious extremists batting each other and everyone else.
Then again, that may just be a massive progression for a place like Kansas.
Have there been any efforts to boycott goods and services from Kansas? Has anyone made a list of manufacturers who are either based out of Kansas, or have significant factories there?
Indeed, I would imagine that there are many people out there who are sickened by these blatant attacks on science by those who most likely fail to even comprehend the basic elements of the subject. Perhaps the best way to let these extremists know that they're wrong is to hit them right in their wallets.
Sony will probably collect your name, email address and whatever other information they can obtain about you. And then they'll pass it on to the RIAA, and you'll be listed as a pirate. And to threaten Sony's bottom line! Why, that's pure terrorism!
Why do you expect the mainstream media to provide decent coverage of this? They won't publish anything negative about a company as big as Sony, especially if Sony buys advertisements from them.
The problem is not with the mainstream media failing to report on this sort of an issue, for whatever reason. The problem is that the public in general is dumb enough to only get their news from the mainstream media.
So instead of complaining about how the mainstream media isn't reporting, do something beneficial. Inform people about this issue, and suggest that they avoid all Sony products, for instance. Print up notices and post them around. Get the word out yourself, rather than relying on some large, corporate newspaper to television news proram to do it for you.
I've said for a while now that you should start your own Slashdot-style site, Barry. You're a man of academia, and you know your material. Your writing style has flair, and people would visit such a site on a daily basis.
The best definition in this case would be understood by experience. But not the kind of experience offered by Opera.
If you have access to a Linux, *BSD, Solaris, or some such UNIX system, install KDE. Then give Konqueror a try. It's the quickest browser around. It's got amazingly fast responsiveness, and the minimum of bloat necessary for a full-blown web browser.
You obviously do not understand my argument. There's no need to bring fork terrorism and other analogies into the discussion.
What it comes down to is that PHP is not well designed, and is not well engineered. This is shown by the numerous security issues involving PHP (even on systems that have been designed, set up and maintained regularly by experienced professionals). Don't take my word for it! Go do some research for yourself.
As for your attack on GCC, well, that just shows how clueless you are about such matters. GCC is one of the best engineered pieces of software in the open source world. It has professionals working on it, and that is shown by the extremely high quality of it. And StackGuard shatters your argument about C being insecure.
It may hurt your ego to admit it, but PHP is not a very good product. It has far too many deficiencies, and as such is unsuitable for serious use.

Any serious web developer (and no, a 15-year-old writing a site for his Counter Strike buddies is not a serious user) would choose not to use PHP because of its many security flaws and it's overall lack of quality.
Do a lot of people use it? Of course. Are those people partaking in serious work? Very few are, and those who do often run into security problems.
This has nothing to do with.NET or Java. I wouldn't necessarily suggest the use of those, either. They have shown, however, that they are far more suitable for serious web development than PHP is.
Call the fact that PHP has numerous serious problems "crap" if you want. Frankly, I'll stick to acknowledging them for the problems they are, because considering such information is what leads to better designs.

You call it a "troll", I call it pointing out weaknesses with PHP's design and implementation. I'd rather those problems be acknowledged, rather than brushed under the carpet. After all, that's what true engineering is all about: knowing how your design is insufficient, and knowing how to properly deal with such issues.
It's widely acknowledged that C++ suffers from various security problems. Anyone who has any level of formal training or experience knows that. Not only that, they know how to avoid such problems. The use of a garbage collector, the STL string class, and so forth can go a long way towards avoiding security issues.
Of course, if you want to write truly solid code it's best to use languages like Haskell or Standard ML, amongst others. Then you can formally verify your implementation, in addition to avoiding the problems that many other languages suffer from.

Indeed, I wanted to know if this book covers SQL just because if it were a good book, it would not cover topics such as SQL and databases. Those topics are best covered by experts writing their own books on such subjects. This book should at least recommend that interested readers consult other material to learn more about such subjects.
