AspectJ is not a new language - its an extension to the Java programming language (adding about 5 or 6 new keywords). It allows you to modularize crosscutting appliation concerns, i.e. logging / profiling / debugging / session management.
When a foreign army intervenes in the case of a civil war, they are certainly concerned about civilian casualties - If only to minimise the negative media coverage received 'back home'.
The problem with this is that is blocks emergency calls.
I think I remember reading that in the UK signal damping systems are allowed - but only if they are sufficently sophisticated to allow emergency calls to proceed unhindered.
I have often thought that it would be a good idea (and I mention in here lest someone patent it sometime in the future and make ludicrous amounts of money), to have ones phone monitor the background noise and alter the volumne of the ringer based upon it. i.e.
In a quiet theatre, on a long distance train journey, there would be little ambient noise and the phone would ring quietly.
In a noisy bar, or whilst walking near heavy traffic it would ring loudly.
It would be trivial to implement - all phones have built in microphones after all.
If I were able to write my own firmware and UI for my phone (i.e. If the APIs were available, and everything didn't have to be signed). This would be one of the features I would add.
Of course there would be complications - what volume should be used if the phone were tucked away in a thick coat, or in a ladies handbag?
I would have thought its fairly obvious why they are using sqaure inches rather square centimetres... It enables them to say they've broken through the 'trillion barrier'.
An exploit of mpg123, mplayer, xmms could in fact lead to root priveledges.
Suppose I have an mp3 which when you play it using a vulnerable player executes aribitrary code. That arbitrary code may itself be a further attack which can gain root.
A given system is likely to have significantly more priveledge escalation attacks than remote vulnerabilities.
Nice - now Hemos has altered the original post to include my observation. I wonder how long it is
until I become modded as redundant...
johnp. writes "A computer browser that is said to least quadruple surfing speeds on the Internet has won the top prize at an Irish exhibition for young scientists, it was announced on Saturday. Adnan Osmani, 16, a student at Saint Finian's College in Mullingar, central Ireland spent 18 months writing 780,000 lines of computer code to develop the browser. Known as "XWEBS", the system works with an ordinary Internet connection using a 56K modem on a normal telephone line. " A number of people had submitted this over the weekendc - there's absolutely no hard data that I can find to go along with this, so if you find anything more on it, plz. post below.
In the 2nd Edition of "The Mythical Man Month", Frederick Brooks lays out a summay of various rebuttals to "No Silver Bullet" (there have been, 'a couple' of papers on the subject)...
The point is, that is it would searchable. One example would that you could record every telephone conversation / meeting you were ever involved in. Combined with voice recognition this would allow one to very quickly recall any conversation you'd ever had.
In effect, it would extend ones memory. This could only be a good thing.
What amazes me is that the video camera can still record footage succesfully given the enormous g-forces sustained at takeoff. The clarity of video appears unaffected.
I would have at least expected a bit of flicker as the tape strains, or the motor backtracks a little or something...
Very cool.

No wonder you'd recommend it... probably because you'll get a referal fee for each person who buys it after clinking on the handy link you've supplied.
2-Componant Divx Players, or more likely DVD players that can also play DIVX content. People want to watch movies on their tv, not their computer, and only geeks have good tv-output capabilities.
I disagree - many people are perfectly happy listening to mp3's on their PC rather than CDs in their HiFi / Discman etc. There are plenty of people willing to watch DivXs on their PC in preference to buying a DVD. Especially if the film is something one is likely to only watch once.
Actually, it probably hurt a lot less than having the same rock thrown at you... It would hurt equivalently to having the same stone, dropped on you - There is a difference.
The stone would have reached its terminal velocity, as you have stated, much earlier in the upper atmosphere. I expected I could through such a stone much faster than its terminal velocity.
If you use IE don't even think about clicking on the above link. I just did and about 64 windows opened and my machine hung. I just lost some work. Thanks.
There is a slight difference between being "the hardest game for computers to play" and "A hard game for computers to play; one that is harder than chess".
PocketPC 2002 (the OS for the more recent iPAQ models) include a built in Microsoft Terminal Server Client. It works quite quite well, even over a mobile phone diallup.
Why would you want something with the same connector bus? Something with the same form factor sure, but if the bus was the same it would still need a specialised controller on the motherboard, thereby increasing size and cost of the motherboard. Getting ridding of this is exactly what the mobo manufacturers are gunning for.
Why not make it have the same form factor, but have it plug into USB or something.

I recommend reading Aspect-Oriented Programming with AspectL or one of the many web sites on the topic if you are interested.

Like it says in the article - this is not an email address it's a web feedback form.

780,000 lines of code in 18 months is approximately 1500 lines per day every single day. I'm skeptical.

So what??? The whole point of SSL is that there is nothing the "man in the middle" can do.

I live in the UK. I can tell you for a fact: it does.
Actually, it probably hurt a lot less than having the same rock thrown at you... It would hurt equivalently to having the same stone, dropped on you - There is a difference.
The stone would have reached its terminal velocity, as you have stated, much earlier in the upper atmosphere. I expected I could through such a stone much faster than its terminal velocity.
Take a look at ISO/IEC-11172-3 if you are interested.
Compaq did the exact same thing with the iPAQ when it first came out. They swore blue in the tooth (no pun intended) that it was a 16bit screen.
An identical flaw in a piece of Microsoft and a piece of Open Source software...
I wonder which will be fixed first?

I promise not not to say I told you so.
