That is actually negative from the object oriented point of view. As someone using the object, you have no right to information regarding the implementation - the less you know the better. In C# you might be doing who knows what at an implementation level, but the interface is the same no matter what. And it is infinitely more convenient.
I've never actually used C# but until finding out about this feature I'd been wondering why it hadn't been implemented in Java. I hear great things about C# but it isn't worth.NET...
Presumably the latter, which does not bring us back to your original comment. You would set it up to search specified database for product information. Push scanning is bad because the vendors have no incentive to give you useful comparative information, it is a marketing ploy. User control of the source defeats every downside of push scanning, because it makes it NOT push scanning.
Reread most fixed focal length cameras are set to infinity. that means if you take a close range picture it's all blurry and most webcams are set to a focal length of a few feet, or come with auto focus, or manual focus..
Your point about making them publicly available isn't true. No retailer advertises ALL of their prices, and even those that are advertised may not be in an indexable, web-accessible way.
I agree with you that it will still be a useful application though.
It will work to a degree: the scripts can be perverted at the script level - in theory java could be caused to run arbitrary java. But this would still protect against lower level exploitation via scripting languages. Arbitrary script but no arbitrary code (unless it can be achieved through legal script).
Also, it would bock in response to anything scripting language that would allow constructing lower level calls.
The Whitehouses roof used to be blanked out with matte tan. Now it isn't. The pentagon also used to be blanked out. I looked at these locations myself a long time ago. More recently I was surprised to see them unblanked.
Exceptions are essentially always slower than gotos in the case that the exception is caught/the goto is followed. I'd say a good definition for "exceptional condition" is one that occurs a small enough percentage of the time that it is more efficient to catch the exception than to check the condition all the times it isn't needed.
The difference is the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException happens only once per iteration. It is (depending on how many elements there are) an extremely rare case. If, on the other hand, you need to break from a loop, say, more than half the time, the exception catching gets very expensive. The difference is how often you need to catch it.
Lies. Exceptions are not meant for intentional flow control, they are for exceptions. Exceptions are (in almost all implementations) much slower and you would never want to use them in place of a goto in, say, a core loop where the goto case happens a significant portion of the time.
Seriously, what? What percentage of illegal immigrants drive brand new Cadillacs?
Also, I was talking about tourists.
You hear "person who's English is not perfect" and assume "Illegal immigrant who receives every form of healthcare, doesn't work, and magically has a brand new car and lots of weed".
For 99% of games available on Steam, if the game will work on your setup so will Steam.
Steam also doesn't limit your ability to have the game installed on any number of computers. It also provides a myriad of features that many people like.
The motivation behind it may be DRM, but it provides a better experience than any other platform, with essentially none of the negative effects of DRM.
Natural selection does not imply justness. Social Darwinists think that if one group can kill off/subdue another group, it is ok because it is "natural selection". The fact is natural order doesn't necessarily relate to morals at all. It is totally natural for Ethiopians to be starving to death, but that doesn't make it 'just'.
Cats kill for pleasure (although whether the killing part is intentional is up in the air). If some species of mole goes extinct due to this, is it unnatural?
He was using it colloquially rather than technically. Get over it.
Using "Phrase XXX" which is an idiom is not comparable to a grammar or spelling mistake. Also, the rule for using "it's" vs "its", while useful, only exists because some linguist decided to eliminate the ambiguity.

For consumer electronics,

Sweeeeeeeet.

What? The article isn't even about a real app, it is speaking theoretically. Even the theoretical app described uses "user-specified sources."
It will work to a degree: the scripts can be perverted at the script level - in theory java could be caused to run arbitrary java.

Man 2 supportive posts and -1 troll :(
Wired is running a story suggesting that this release could save the rather unpopular Microsoft PC gaming platform.
Motherfuckers.
I'm guessing USGOV asked them to sensor all "sensitive areas" 'pending review', and finally decided there was nothing worth blocking.

Carry around a mass spectrometer.

What's a pharmacle?
I was referring to the eventual death of usenet, based on the articles inference that this was a sign of said death.

You're getting in to Social Darwinism here.

They are working on porting Linux for Turtles to run on Tortoises.
Actually, I got first post. It is just too sneaky for you to find.
