Everywhere i read i see posts from astroturfers pretending to be very concerned about their privacy. Lambasting Google for all they are worth and trying to purport them as a very evil and vile company.
The thing is, Google hasnt got half of the information many other sources has like twitter, facebook etc.
Let's see. I am very concerned about my online privacy and manage my own mail server. I don't have a Facebook account and only used my Twitter account for a couple of days total. I use Google search engine, Google maps and for professional reasons have an Adsense account. Here's what Google can know about me:
They can correlate all these data and know and remember more about me than I myself do. All in the hands of a single company which can integrate all these data in a single database (for ease of consultation by themselves, government agencies etc.)
That's not astroturfing, it's simple understanding of facts.

On the other hand, his lawyers should have adviced them better.
It's a bit like IT consultants advising you to buy expensive services you don't need: they are acting in their own interest and not in yours.
if I make to much money for example $60,000 @ 22% = $13,200 tax. I figure a way to spend it that will benefit me and be deductible from my income (lease a vehicle in my case) so I only make $50,000 @ 15% tax = $7,500 tax.
I think you miscalculated your taxes. If they are progressive as they should reasonably be, going from $50000 to $60000 should only increase the tax rate on the $10000 and not on the whole amount. So if 22% is the marginal rate at $60000, the difference in taxes would be at most the 22% of $10000, that is $2200. If your calculations were right, you would have a tax increase of $13200 - $7500 = $5700 out of your income increase of $10000, that is a 57% rate.
So yes, you can embed a Java interpreter in C code. But there's a API documented for embedded Java to unload the VM when you're done with it that turns out to not be implemented
Interesting. Out of curiosity, would it have made any sense in your case to have the Java part running as a separate application communicating with the main C one over some IPC channel (sockets, RPC or something else)?
