Will we ever be safe from all that?
Oh, it's Java bashing time, sorry...

Users get upset when the server is rebooted/restarted on short notice.
You get alot of "I need two weeks in advance to prepare for this" complaints.

Java is also used heavily on the browser in Colleges and Universities (Higher Ed.) for rich text editors, chat rooms and some other educational content.

Or done in Paint.

Either way if contested will not survive in court.
Contracts are void if found to be illegal.

My thoughts exactly!!
Woof!!

The locks appeared to be safe initially but were not fully tested to this type of attack.
Hindsight is 20/20. They should have spent more on testing against these hacking attacks, but how much would that be?

Time for the government to certify these products?

There is a grey line between being influenced/inspired by other ideas/products and plain plagiarism.
Very similar to porn, you know it when you see it.
One would be recognizing the trend in state of the art the other a dishonest and selfish appropriation by cloning.

Apple would not be where it is now if they didn't copy from some one else. That's how advances in knowledge, science, arts get to evolve.

Apple has to prove a very tight case of plagiarism where is obvious Samnsung just simply cloned their product.
I don't think that's the case.

Lawyers rejoice!

Wow, snarky. It was easier for you to explain but you decided to take the easiest posture every pseudo-geek takes.
I bet the reason you do it is because you don't know either so to show who's boss you act like a tough guy, big boy.

If you are in Medicine, you will be wasting your time taking more than a page of notes.
There is such an incredible amount of information in all things medical that you just have to decide what material to read that will match your Teacher's theme and topics. You can probably download somebody else's notes that highlights the important points, pharma doses, lab figures, etc.

You have to read, review, listen to videos and then read some more. Take a look at what Kaplan offers for example.

Lawsuit?

ditto ...

I'm going to commission a study to find out why I am so awesome...
I will keep you posted with the results.

I think we are almost on the same page... the big assumption here is that using parameters (like the country parameter) can be and should be user defined, thus the value read from a user provided selection, configurable text file, etc will be passed to the Factory object.

Still mentioning DLLs makes me think on how to implement it, on Windows...
