it's also a translation, some people forget that the English version of the Bible was not the first. how do you know in the original that know in the know was 'know' and not 'know', we will never know.

when things move as fast as satellites move, you never really know where they are. even a 0.01% uncertainty in velocity of a typical satellite going ~2000m/s... after about a minute the resulting position would have a bounding box of 12 meters. Now, after an hour, a day? It's not too difficult to lose track of where you need to point your radars to find your bird.
[Calculation is very general, I pulled that 0.01% velocity uncertainty from my ass]

The CEO of VMWare Paul Martiz thinks that everyone is moving to Python/Ruby, specifically Django and Rails as replacements for the J2EE stack. http://www.enterpriseirregulars.com/27968/vmware-ceo-django-rails-open-frameworks-packaged-apps-as-commodity-and-the-new-kingmakers/
Think of it what you will, but unless you've tried to write a small-medium sized project in Python (as suggested by ESR: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3882 ) then you don't know what you're missing, especially if you're moving from Java.
If you read the article, on page2 it says that OpenJDK is already ported to OSX. However, it is incomplete in the UI sense; it only uses X11 libraries and the Java integration with Cocoa/the native UI doesn't exist.
Actually, I thought it deserved a comment because he reversed the usage on both:
Google has plans to scale they're broadband experiment up to 50,000-500,000 homes before their done.
Should be "Google has plans to scale thier..." and "...homes before they're done."
Such improper usage leads me to believe that the original poster just does not understand proper grammar.
You're wrong, please don't be defensive.
Nothing was ever designed in Alabama. Defense contractors in Southern California (mainly Los Angeles) used fabrication facilities to manufacture things in Alabama, but all of the science was done in LA. All of the scientific brainpower for those companies have never resided in Huntsville, it's a shithole.
And JPL? I thought that was a Caltech institution? You know, in eastern Los Angeles? And Los Alamos National Lab in Santa Fe, NM might have something to do with the design of the nuclear bomb.
Because a company or an institution has offices in a rural southern state for cheap menial jobs, does not mean that those laborers contribute science or engineering designs. They don't.
are you purposefully being obtuse to the there/their/they're usage?
Couchdb is a good start. http://couchdb.apache.org/docs/overview.html

Then see how close a MS access database that is (but I haven't used Access in a long, long time).
This is a good list. If for one, it shows that the original author might look beyond the boundaries of libraries written in C++. I personally would recommend numpy (http://www.numpy.org) because I've been doing mostly python coding in the last few years. Also, to note, that some/most of the backend to numpy is written in C.
However, if the submitter really wants to start contributing to open source libraries, they really should start at writing test cases and documentation. Contributing code to them is not something that maintainers usually like to take from people that are not associated with the project. Joining the mailing list was a good idea, but they really should download the code and run the set of test cases. Then, knowing what he knows, look into his area of expertise and see if there is test coverage he could add.
In summary, look into an alternate programming language library, download and run the library's test cases and fill in the test case coverage and write it up in their documentation.
and all of them stays in alphabetical order in the menu, which makes finding an app much more easier
swipe to the left on the home iOS screen, type in the first letter of the application you want into the search box... and Spotlight will bring up a list of applications starting with that letter.
They all do the same stuff, albeit in slightly different ways.
It's too bad that none of those businesses are Minority or Women owned, otherwise they would get the contracts for sure. Because in the world of Government, it is
the question then becomes, what is meant by a "complete implementation" of java?
I mean, why did they not sue projects like blackdown and other open JVMs that were not 100% implemented? I understand that the Android Dalvik is not a "JVM", but the question remains: what is a "complete implementation"?
