The fact of the matter is that Bush boy made the wrong decision when he decided to invade Iraq. Iran and N. Korea is now laughing in the face of U.S threats.
You talk like there was no other options but to invade Iraq. Hell, in that case, why not just put a monkey in the Whitehouse and let a reserve captain and another dude with 5 deferrals take care of business...oh, wait...
Cheney ran away from his duties 5 times, no? And Bush, the intreprid flyboy was courageously patrolling Southern US sky to prevent the mighty Mexican airforce from invading the US during VN war of course qualifies him as a "security" leader, right?
Those are the facts dude!
So, out of 3 countries, Iran, N. Korea, and Iraq, Bush decided to invade Iraq, the one country with no WMD to speak of. Out of 3 choices, of which 2 would be right and 1 would be wrong, Bush managed to pick the 1 wrong choice and created a mess out of Iraq. N. Korea now has Da Bomb, and Iran is not too far behind. Talk about screwed up insights and Bush'ed priorities. Vote this November!!!
The GOOGLE's lunch is threatened. It will be interesting to watch GOOGLE springs into action going up against good ol' telcos. Keep in mind that the telcos OWN the internet roads and byways. I guess telcos are 'mad' realizing how much goods and $ are passing through those roads on a daily basis. Now, the telcos want a cut. Well, telcos may not be right, but that does not mean they will not end up on the right side of a verdict though.
We develop Java-based vertical products and we have found PMD and JLINT when integrated with an appropriate development process, can be highly effective in preventing serious bugs.
That said, both PMD and JLINT incorporates "religious" issues, and it is important to determine what the religious issues are and steer clear of them lest the good rules get lost among the non-essential (from project perspective) rules.
I agree fully. In certain environments, like a school, being disruptive is not a right nor a privilege. Free speech, sure, but that does not mean one is free from the responsibilities/consquences the one's speech brings.
You are free to scream fire in a crowded theatre, but that does not mean your are not going to face X years in a federal ass pounding prison.
Not even the big corps can avoid infringing. They may be able to work around the infringement was the lawsuit arrives, but can you image the cost and time it takes? Big guys usually don't take just a few days to make a few fixes, release, and distribute the fixes.
It is going to sting both small and big developers.
Patent reform is easier said than done. What would the new model be? There are many competing interests.
A patent lawsuit may be the only option a small guy with an idea stolen by a big corp.
On the other hand, OSS projects could be threatened by greedy patent trolls just as we are seeing now.
A blanket denial of software and business models patents is not necessarily the answers. Where would the line be drawn and how can one differentiate what is/should be obvious to what is truly innovative?
ORM is not rocket science. Practically all the possible techniques/strategies are well-known. If this patent is not overturned, ORM vendors will be in trouble and so will any software (written in an OO language) that persists data/state in a database.
There are no expectations of privacy in places regarded as public.
Where cameras are prohibited, you will need to turn it off, but if you don't and you get discovered, you could get prosecuted.
There is no difference from what it is today, you can still hide a camera and take pictures but that camera may be taken away from you if it is discovered that you have taken pictures in a restricted area.
Well, Al Shithead,
Show me proof the judge in the IBM and SCO case is partial and really wants to nail SCO and that's why the case has dragged on for so long.
Judge sees slimy plaintif, Judge crosses Ts and dots Is so slimy plaintif does not get away seems something pulled out of a deep smelly hole of non sequitur logic...
Do you have anything to backup your premises and conclusion?
Again, judges are there to make judgments based on the presented facts and they need and usually stay impartial and neutral. Judges do not decide that a plaintif is slimy and therefore I need to be really careful so I can stick it to the slime and make it sticks.
If you disagree, provide some real-life examples please...
Without app support, an OS, if it comes in reinforced box and a heavy manual, is at best a doorstopper.
The success of a computing platform depends on the success of its OS which in turns depend on the available apps.
How many minutes until we see a posting from a Slashdot dude inside a huge computer case looking out of the CD slot opening proclaiming...look at me:) ?
Your logic makes no sense buddy. The judge does not just wake up one morning and decide that the plaintif is slimy.
If the judge truly thought the plaintif was slimy, then the case would have been dismissed right away. Judges are not dumb.
The reason it has taken so long is because the judge must have felt that the case has some merits.
I wouldn't bet the winner until the fat lady has sung. Sure, we all hope that IBM squash SCO, but think how long the battle has been. If it was crystal clear for everyone to see that IBM is in the right, then it should have been over by now. However, if it was not crystal clear for everyone, that means that there may be folks (judge/jury) that may get swayed by SCO. The general public does not always perceive the world the way geeks do -- nothing said about which way is better.
We are taking advantage of it. We really look forward to the ability to develop rich Web Apps using a standard IDE and Java "OO" paradigm.

The 17-year-exp guy is confusing digital encoding/decoding versus data encryption/decryption.

That's called the lost of innocence. If we have lost our innocence, has the terror won?
A drawing of a gun to someone's head is not "inciting amusement"...Besides, it's never a bad thing to learn respect.

It would be wonder if the ants could walk at all without a piece of their legs.
So what, this is slashdot. As long as the articles generates a discussion -- newcomers and oldtimers alike can all benefit.
