No, no, not by the bible, only by the "good parts" of the bible, or in other words, by other people that chose those good parts. The Bible has nothing to do with it.

When you need people to tell you what's inside a book, it's either that it's too complicated (tech stuff, specialized book, etc) or it's that someone will try to fill your brain with their view of things. Obviously, someone explaining the bible falls in the second category.

It looks as if religion has found a set of explanations to make the big book acceptable and now it's serving that to the world, not the other way around.

So all upskirts pictures are legit and we should encourage people to take them?

After all, all those panties are out in public and protected by just a skirt which you can look below... from a public place.

Your vision of what is right and wrong seems to be broken.

In France we actually got someone behind bars for something very similar with a law that I find pretty smart that says approximately: "If you are somewhere where you *know* you shouldn't be, and you don't get out immediately but you *knowingly* stay there and snoop around, then you're guilty."

I think that's the expression of common sense. It might be just me.

Also, whenever you have a method that has to return a couple of longs, it would also save an object to wrap the result.

It would add convenience, not save space. That said, on a 64bit JVM, passing an int by ref *could* save 32bits.

Objects are passed by reference, in that the callee shares the same instance as the caller, not a clone.

But it works

I once worked for a medium-sized startup where we had hundreds of thousands of lines of code. We went from a Solaris Java 1.3 32 bit JVM to a Windows 1.4 64bit JVM with not even needing to recompile the project. Just a few config files needed some path to be rewritten, but nothing java-related.

So unless you're using JNI, I'd say the WORA is pretty much alive on Java, and that from day one.

As usual, if you haven't been using behind-the-scenes classes that generate big fat warnings (cause you're not supposed to use them), it'll work right out of the box.

Not primitive types, not it doesn't. Objects, yes. Hence the need to create objects when all you want it to pass an int as a reference.

And now you're the one trolling ;-)

Threading has always been there in Java, from version 1.0. 32 and 64 bits have nothing to do with it.

Wow... You really think of yourselves as invincible?

At a huge cost for Americans. Printing money == instant inflation.

Oh no, oh nooooooooo, don't tell that to anyone! :-)
