   Using the NStED database of stars I find that there are 11,384 cataloged stars within a 200 light year bubble. I thought that it would probably follow an r^3 function but it appears that it follows something closer to an r^2 function - perh

   So it appears that every response to my message said that it wasn't lost but would be in 90 days if no one noticed. That is not the definition of 'never loses changes'. The fact of the matter is that someone that doesn't understand the way

   Not surprising. Google Apps mail sometimes gets marked as spam for me. Apparently "spam" and marketing messages from people you do business with are the same thing for some people.

   I definitely agree that Clojure, Scala, Groovy, JRuby etc are pushing the platform itself forward. InvokeDynamic is in JDK7 mostly for the benefit of dynamic languages on the VM and only in JDK8 will Java language features be dependent on i

    Personally I feel the choice was a good one. Closures (& method handles) will work out of the box with virtually every API in the JDK along with a tremendous number of APIs generated by 3rd parties. The type inference / coercion rules m

    I think the question here is whether or not it will defend against wholesale abandonment of Java to things like Scala and Clojure. To make the complete switch you might have to rewrite some code. With the Java improvements you can even keep

    It only has my most recent investment. Probably should be a wiki.

    You have seen Android pre-iPhone, right? At that time it was a Blackberry ripoff. http://news.cnet.com/2300-1037_3-6230132.html

    Generally they do just plow it into the cars / sidewalk / curb in the cities I've lived in (like Chicago).

    My guess is this app doesn't need the resources he is throwing at it. If you look at the pages it is dead simple. I can't imagine what was using all the CPU. Would have been good to get a TOP or something to see what was going on. Since it
