"People get confused about Net neutrality," Schmidt said. "I want to make sure that everybody understands what we mean about it. What we mean is that if you have one data type, like video, you don't discriminate against one person's video in favor of another. It's OK to discriminate across different types...There is general agreement with Verizon and Google on this issue..."
And what if Verizon decides to prioritize a particular type of data that Google just so happens to use a lot of, at the expense of slowing down other types of data like P2P traffic?
Verizon: We'll speed up latency-sensitive data streams, like online video.
Google: What a coincidence! YouTube uses that kind of data.
Hulu: Hey, our users use video too.
Verizon: Ah, but that's not the kind of video we're prioritizing.
PirateBay: Torrent traffic seem to be almost completely blocked.
Verizon: Quiet, you.
It's a
Like traditional "analog" cigarettes, the vast majority of the "smoke" is water vapor.
I rooted my G1 for wifi tether, which I believe is still a root-only function, and to work on a little WEP hacking app.
A stock Android phone is still a ways from a real Linux computer, even on parts that have little if nothing to do with the actual cellular phone functions of the device.
Tethering is awesome, as many non-iPhone smartphone users have known for years.
I used to tether my Sprint Treo with PDANet, when I swore I'd never pay Comcast another red cent. My sister uses PDANet on her G1 to avoid signing up for an internet connection she doesn't use much, and I used my rooted G1 to look up geocaches on the road from my g/f's laptop. The rooting process is pretty painless now, so I'd imagine that it's just a matter of time before the telcos start clamping down with usage caps.
'Irregardless' is a double negative and is thusly illogical by construction
Thusly is not a word either. Thus is already an anderb, so adding the "ly" suffix to the end doesn't make sense.
People will read a piece of code more times than they will write it, so it makes sense to optimize for readability. Besides, I end up autocompleting most type/method names in the IDE anyway.
And the Internet connection required to make any of that less than worthless come from where exactly?
My neighbor's WEP-protected access point.
There's a lot of speculation that T-Mobile G1 owners might not get the update, which would suck.
Just look at the pics. Changing the name of the executable changed the results dramatically. The driver is apparently detecting when it's running a 3DMark (or some other specific apps) and switches to some other mode to boost its scores/FPS markings.
Java is still widely used for teaching, but it's turning into the 21st century Pascal: used for teaching but loathed for real work by people who have a choice.
Beg yer pardon?
If you're a devout WoW player, they'd rather let you spend time on that, being oblivious and happy, than risk you being pissed off that you can't play.
No WoW has ever or will ever foment a revolution.
Prove me wrong, kids!
Not to be contentious, but I'm curious...
1) Glassfish is now more popular than JBoss.
Cite? It's tough to get a good feel for these things. The hype around Glassfish has been huge, but I haven't seen developers flocking to actually use it. It's kinda moot anyway because most of the places I've worked at use Spring/Hibernate instead of EJB, and can get by with just a Servlet container.
2) IDEs can bring money to a company indirectly. IBM does more than just consult. They also offer a suite of Java technologies. Eclipse is just Websphere developer studio free edition. Eventually, IBM hopes that you;'ll move up the chain and buy their tools.
I think you've got it backwards there. WebSphere Dev Studio is just a repackaged version of Eclipse with add-ons to integrate with WebSphere AS and related stuff that you can buy from IBM. Granted, IBM started Eclipse, but Eclipse.org was spun off and has been largely separate for years. If nothing else, the fact that Eclipse has been somewhat splintered lately should be proof of a lack of central guidance.
3. I agree with what you said about MySQL, but IBM could still stand to make some money. After all, MySQL has always had paid support. Something that IBM likes to do.
Hehe, and I thought *that* was the shaky point.
With your bare hands?!?
