I'm looking into Maple (can anyone tell me what their licensing scam looks like?)
I have been using Maple 10 for about a year now and I have switched network device on two occasions. Each time I had to email Maple customer service to reactivate it. While it's a bit bothersome however I didn't really mind since the process was fairly quick and painless.
Yep. They were all off on maneuvers, about a day out of port. IIRC, the Japanese knew this, but they were mostly concerned with the battleships. The idea that a carrier could be a major force to be reckoned with was only realized because the U.S. was forced to fight the beginning of the war with only carriers. The results were so spectacular, that the carrier force became the backbone of the WWII fleets. Of course, the CVE idea might have been a bit ambitious.;)
I am pretty sure Nagumo was very disappointed that the carriers were not in port. He at least contemplated to look for them and possibly attack them with a 3rd strike.
My memory is a bit hazy on this point, but I believe that the problem was their ability to project force over long distances. Their planes didn't have the same range as ours,
Yes your memory is very hazy. The A6M had a very good range, turning ability and generally good performance at low speed. This is what made them very competitive over the skies of pacific circa 1941 to 1942. The tide was turned by 1943 with the arrival of more powerful planes (Engine-wise) such as the Grumman Hellcat and new tactics bascially told our pilots to avoid low speed dog fights with the zeros. This what made the zeros lost their competitive advantage i.e. turning at low speed.
If Sun Java is GPL'ed does that mean all the applications that need jre to run would need to be open-sourced in their entirety or is it just the parts of the program that need java? I am using Maple 10 on gentoo here. I am pretty sure the gui part and possibly other parts are written in java.
Will mozilla ever release an official 64 bit version of firefox? Not that I really care that much since I am usually running the 64 bit trunk build that I compile weekly anyways. But supposedly one of the reasons that Sun won't release a 64 bit java plugin for firefox is because there is no official 64 bit firefox. I am hoping that by Mozilla releasing an official 64-bit firefox Sun will finally get a 64-bit java plugin out.
