Jeez. I actually do Java every day as my job, but I have only been installing it on Linux for the past number of years, so I did not realize this was the case.

But I said nearly 5 years ago, that Oracle will do it's best to ruin Java. It seems to be relegated to server-side only more and more. (this is the only place we use it as well) The only thing propping up Java is the fact that people do not trust Microsoft, otherwise C# would have taken over the business world by now.

It should read. "Is the Greek financial crisis an opportunity for Bitcoin?"

And thus, the answer is "NO!"

Let me help you out: No, you do not want to find out what twerking is from your daughter. :)

These are never good. In fact I think they can really not be called "games" as that sort of implies something someone does for entertainment.

More like "interactive social experiments". These are never fun, or entertaining, and rarely useful. I include all of the "games" where the goal is to make the player feel or think something.

Next they will try to install the Ask toolbar. Sun did this bullshit back in the early 2000's. I am surprised it has taken this long for Oracle to take this step to try to ruin Java.

So I give them 10,000 low income girls, and they teach me to code?

What is Google-bot?

"fix it when it breaks"

Do you even have a smartphone? These things are designed to be unrepairable, or so expensive to repair you might as well replace them.

Seems like both of you are just trash talking (pun intended).

Are there any numbers or studies to back up these claims?

If you were looking youtube.com/somename is meaningless. If you want to find something you use the search page. Randomly switching urls around without anyone asking for it and for no apparent reason isn't even evil... its just stupid.

Who wants to pay $200 for a 5400 rpm 1TB drive?

Is this guy assuming we will eventually eliminate all of the thousands of nuclear weapons we currently have? What in the world does the poster mean by "on hand"?

The article's title is "Should nuclear devices be used to stop asteroids?". Makes me wonder if the submitter read TFA.

The article itself is kind of dumb. It talks about rethinking the Outer Space Treaty that bans nuclear weapons in space. If there was a global threat on the way, the time it would take to arm and configure a rocket to send the weapon to the asteroid would be insignificant. If the asteroid is close enough that something sitting in, say, geostationary orbit could touch it, we would all be dead. In fact, if the threat was any closer than a year from impact, no amount of nuclear weapons is going to help us, and we have no rockets capable of reaching an asteroid that far away.

The article writer is naive when it comes to orbital mechanics, the staggering kinetic energy of a significant asteroid, and that these guys actually have a chance at getting all nuclear weapons banned.

Everything is a security/convenience consideration.

KeePass is more secure than LastPass, if you are careful with how you store your database.
Having your passwords as similar but reasonably strong password is more convenient, but less secure.
Setting your password to 12345, is even more convenient but... idiots and luggage...

I think it would be prudent to still have a password change/reset policy if you are using something like LastPass. If the individual sites get hacked your account is still compromised.

There will never be a Delta IV Orion with humans on it. Even ULA is planning to sunset Delta and Atlas for a new rocket to replace these. Probably will somehow manage to make it even more expensive for taxpayers and a way to keep retired Air Force colonels employed.
