What's the problem, seriously? You know XHTML? Take any HTML tutorial and customize it to remove the non-XHTML-like bits. That's it. Bingo. XHTML is just "correct HTML". Just make sure you don't teach incorrect stuff, but the rest is identical.
Never. The information, though contained in an executable file, is not itself executable (unless you went and took that information out and then executed it separately. The whole point is it does not affect the execution of the program that you hide the information into. So you can put whatever information you want in there (even the code for a virus) and it will still not be a virus, because that information will never get executed unless you actively go in there, extract it, paste it as an executable file somewhere else (eg in memory) and then execute it - so you'd need another virus to do this, basically.
Yes, what the above poster said is valid. Also, it is worth pointing out that the large projects for which J2EE is mostly useful for (because of its high maintainability if done properly) usually have much higher development costs in consulting fees than hardware cost, so they can afford to buy whatever machines are needed - what they require in exchange is high that the stuff works 24/7 and can be expanded and maintained. If you've coded any large-scale php sites, you know what I mean about php being very bloat-sensitive... ie once a php site goes over a certain size, it seems to naturally develop problems.
Also J2EE is very scaleable so that you can keep adding machines as needed, so normally the speed problem won't come from the J2EE platform, but from the other legacy systems (as the above poster mentioned).
There's a tool for each job. PHP is great for small to medium sites. J2EE is great for large sites. It's pointless to use J2EE for small sites (2 weeks of development for your home page, anyone?:-P), and equally pointless to use PHP for large sites.

He's not, he's referring to "google", the verb which means "to find on the internet".
Actually, Java really shines for web applications, when used with the J2EE model, especially using frameworks such as Jakarta Struts. I've written a fair amount of PHP, and I have yet to see a way to design a seriously robust, scalable and big php web application framework that compares to, say, Struts in a J2EE environment. Don't get me wrong, I like PHP and I use it a lot for what it does well (small to medium scale applications), but for anything bigger than that it quickly becomes a real nightmare to maintain.
Not to mention that Newton was completely bonkers by that time, from breathing all these poisonous quicksilver fumes in his lab. Makes it all the more interesting that he decided to divert his intelligence to study religious matters at that point, hehe... Could there be a link between heavy-metal-induced madness and religion?:D
What legal pursuits do you feel would be appropriate to deal with spammers? What penalties? Prison time? Just fines? Given that some spammers make large sums of money from their spamming activities, what scale of fines would be appropriate?
You're very hopeful. Would they react if the RIAA got this passed under, say, the PATRIOT 2 Act? Don't think so.
I agree that the music industry's current business model is screwed, but I reckon they'll go through a lot more dying fits and take a lot more people down with them before they finally stop quivering.
You can get Weasel Reader to display the stuff horizontally, so that the button will effectively be on the side. You can also set it to "auto-scroll" so that you don't even need to press the button (but it gets a bit annoying as I don't usually read at constant speed). I used it on an old palm and I never was bothered by the green screen.
If you have a palm, it's much much easier to just use Weasel Reader (formerly gutenpalm). It's actually designed for reading books, keeping bookmarks, etc - and even extracts the chapter headers for you when you create the pdb file from the txt file.
Also the palm screen is less straining than these bright old monitors, a lot less.
That's fine until the RIAA gets so desperate that they get the laws lobbied in and come and break down your door and arrest you if they detect that you trade files. That would be enough of a deterrent for most people.
finding a weed, no matter how genetically shiney, in a field does not disprove the existance of God, nor the notion that the universe was created by the afforementioned entity
No, but it does disprove creationism. People who think that Creationism = Christianity = God are rather stupid to begin with, unfortunately, so I'm afraid it won't help that much overall, but at least it's nice for the feel-good factor of people with brains:-)
Take that, short-sighted creationists. Now at least you'll have to accept that even if God *is* evolution (seeing as he practically *is* the universe, since every instant in the universe happens through his will, according to christian doctrine), evolution as a mechanism is correct. Finally we can go and tell the buggers to shove it next time they come up with their stupid "but it's never been observed" crap. Weepee!:-)
(02) you're trying to make it do something it can't;
Yup... we're trying to make it run without crashing:-)
Lol... seriously though, no, win2k and winxp have much better track record at not crashing, but they still suffer from the inexorable drive towards bloatedness (and still much faster than linux). My dad has a win2k box. Now win2k has rarely ever crashed on me, but for the last few months, due to all the crap he's installed on it, it's gotten slower and slower, and now it actually freezes occasionally.
So why do we like linux better? Not because it crashes less or more, but because when the shit DOES hit the fan, in linux there's 2 zillion different ways you can attempt to diagnose and fix the problem. In windows, much of the time, there's zilch you can do.
Since when does music have to be popular to be good? As a matter of fact, I'd say that I trust unpopular music more than the popular stuff, if only because it's been rejected by the people, at the recording companies, who pick the music for the masses of brainless zombies who listen to what they feed them.
You can take a single point and write it as an addition of n vectors and say "oh, look, n vectors", but it's still just a point.
The point (no pun intended) is that he didn't ask for "how did the fact that orbits are circular get proved by Kepler before Newton", and he didn't even ask "why are orbits circular" but "why are all the orbits more or less in the same plane". My definition follows from the law of gravitation, which is, I believe, fairly well accepted (anyone want to disagree? Sit down Albert!) - at least at the level/speeds of calculating planetary orbits.
