The same could be said about mp3. Just like mp3 is compressing data in frequency domain instead of time domain, this codec changes pixel grid representation into vector representation.
But if you didn't submit translation in Italian, it wouldn't be valid in Italy. Now it will be.
Instead you need lawyers speaking in French, German and English. Which for Italian speaking inventors might be very expensive. Previously this wasn't required, because if someone wanted to have their patent valid in Italy, he had to translate it.
Significantly - you don't (typically) catch exceptions in erlang. You plan what to do after some process fails.
If your state is corrupted, you should either restart or try to fix the state. Restarting is often simpler, fixing state may even add more errors.
I did many times. What can you really do when FileReader.close() can throw an exception?
I think it is a bad design decision to impose static checking on declared 'throws' statements, because that forces routines to catch stuff that they can't handle, or declare a meaningless list of everything every called routine could ever throw.
It's good design decision in this case. Consider this:
You call library function A().
Library function A() calls some function B(), but you don't know this (closed source).
Library function B() can throw some error, how can you know it? Either it should be catched in A or declared as thrown in A, so that you know that this exception CAN be thrown from A.
Not only telephony. Also in erlang you can make stateful servers, you just don't have shared state. Instead you send messages about data changes between processes. It's like many people talking and updating their knowledge of some situation.
It's only philosophy. In erlang you CAN catch errors (there is even try
That's the philosophy of erlang, "Let it crash". Apparently this leads to some of the most reliable systems. http://www.erlang.org/download/armstrong_thesis_2003.pdf
Apparently OP didn't heard about it, because this is the third way.
Recently Germany installed some plate reading cameras near border with Poland to help looking for stolen cars. It didn't yet catch any stolen car, but did catch two drivers without valid insurance. Your theory is already happening.
Probably it's The Automated Curse Generator.
If it's only one of five, it would be extremely interesting for RPi team they are actively working on solutions for usb problems (there were several found and some corrected already). Could you help them and write your experiences in this thread?
and have you seen how much of that is chemicals? well over 90% of it.
10% is not material? I thought bread was 100% chemicals, like everything else. If you have something which is not 100% chemical, you may be on track to winning 1 million GBP
