Comment: Disappointed Apple Java Developer (Score 1) 436

I'm the developer of Flying Logic, a highly graphical planning application that runs beautifully on Mac, Windows, and even Linux thanks to Java. But I'm a Mac guy, and I do all my development on the Mac, and I use a number of other Java applications on my Mac including IntelliJ and MySQL Workbench. I also develop iOS software, and I've had numerous requests for Flying Logic on the iPad, which would require a binary-compatible JRE. So even though I'm an Apple fanboy and supportive of many of their moves, I'm quite disappointed that Apple has left a huge question mark hanging over the fate of Java applications on the Mac.

To put more restrictions on the time and manner of cannabis procurement and consumption that are any greater than those that are already placed on the procurement and consumption of alcohol or tobacco, you would need to first show that cannabis is more dangerous than those other substances. In fact, it is far less dangerous.

Flying Logic: The Spreadsheet for Rational Thought->

Robert McNally writes "Originally developed for a major defense contractor, Flying Logic is an easy to use tool with a whizzy animated interface that helps people think through anything from starting or improving a business, to career planning, to resolving conflicts in a marriage. (Or, I suppose, planning a war.) All of these things involve complex cause-and-effect relationships, where getting everyone to agree on the core causes of the problems is only the first step, and the negative consequences of one's actions must be found and dealt with before they're taken. The software encourages people to model the situation using principles of the Scientific Method, which helps them keep their egos at bay and work together to come up with really creative solutions."
