Why couldn't it replace Java? From reading about it and my limited use of it I get the impression that it's meant to be able to replace C or C++ but it's also meant to be used to write applications as a replacement for a language like Java

I think it's more about making things more difficult for services like Netflix and Hulu as well as extracting some extra revenue from their top users who don't have any other choice for internet service.

This isn't as interesting as I hoped it would be from reading the title. It looks like the only technical aspect of this is caching the input file, which makes sense but isn't very exciting. Is there any work being done on sharing some of

Back when I was compiling Linux on a 120MHz PA-7200 I would literally wait for days to compile KDE and a few other related packages, but with a modern CPU I now wait only a few minutes. I'm not sure that Gentoo has any real advantages over

If you look at http://www.oracle.com/us/products/servers-storage/storage/ta... it talks about the reduced cost of ownership for a 20PB tape library, so there are tape products available for large volumes of data. The SL8500 supports 500P

Have you considered offering to buy back the lifetime offers from people who won't migrate? It seems like that might be cheaper in the long run than having to support the old BSD servers forever.

I think there's a problem that this is trying to solve but I don't think it solves it very well. The problem I have is that it's hard to share hardware between computers. What I want is to be able to plug all of my monitors, storage, prin

I think the point of using Vim or Emacs is that sometimes you don't want a full IDE. Often when I'm writing code I just want my editor to be fast and not require me to take my hands of off the keyboard. Both Vim and Emacs have much better

An increasing average does not mean that the extremes are more extreme. That's a possibility but definitely not a certainty and it could easily be the case that neither extreme changes while the average varies arbitrarily close to them.

Not only that, but it's good practice for the methodology you should be using when developing your product. Constantly measure and keep track of your results so you can see what's working and what isn't. Keep track of trends and don't ove

Luckily all those platforms support HTML 5 and on WebOS you can easily deploy your HTML 5 app as a native app and take advantage of the native functionality as well.

I used BackBlaze for a while before I switched to Linux and it worked pretty well. At one point I wanted to download a lot of my files at once and the 80GB zip file they provided didn't work, but I was able to download it in smaller pieces

I read on my Kindle which is not like looking at a standard screen or you could read real books. I also find manual drafting relaxing, but other hobbies like drawing, knitting, or crocheting can be relaxing non-screen things to do.

It might not be as interesting as building your own, but the Palm Pre gives you root access and Palm is very supportive of third party app stores. So if all your after is a more open touchscreen device you aren't forced to build your own.
