Energy-based weapons? Mostly still not practical, and the real-world versions (lasers, masers) predate Star Trek.
If you think that, you are completely out of the loop.

You still did not explain your point.

GB/UK has border controls right now.

It had them when they were part of the EU.

They will have them regardless if they rejoin the EU or not.

Stupid idiot.

What the fark has having border controls to do with being a member of the EU or not?

Every border country (or airport) of the EU has border controls.

Seriously: stupid idiot very much?

Almost all Java 1.0 code written in '95, on the other hand, still runs fine today on Java 27 or whatever the latest version is.
That is my experience, too.

But why did you need to recompile 16/32 bit apps on windows?

An enterprise app has nothing to do with

How your fat fingers are unable to interact with a laptop or why your eyes can not see the text on your screen, or why hitting shift 5 times opens a screen reader and so on

Perhaps you do not know what an "enterprise app" is?

Hint: it is software were no normal user is interacting with.

Correct, they have a same - spelling different pronunciation - word for pint.
And actually, I use that too, when in France. Unfortunately most shops only sell smaller beers.
But a (modern) French pint is usually indeed 500ml.

Yes,
and?

What is your point?

I fail to see it. Perhaps you would like to make a sentence that explains what you actually want to say.

I applied for a job at Ascension, as C++ developer.
Unfortunately I am not on the team yet: so I do not know about the backend.

While Blizzard clearly has a case ... their arguments are false. The game is cost free, and 100 times better than everything Blizzard offered after Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King.

What they probably want is an agreement to give them access to the code and art work, because they are to stupid to progress their own game in a way that OLD players want.

They thought they can replace dropping old players with new kids and earn money ... however making a kids game makes old players drop out faster than new kids hop on the game.

I played WoW classic for a year ... until it got clear they go into the Pandora shit hole ... so no idea how current wow looks like, and since I played Ascension (and some other private servers): absolutely not interested at all to play Blizz games again.

find me a java 8 enterprise application which doesn't use at least one of these package:
Easy.

What about your first entry:
javax.accessibility
Defines a contract between user-interface components and an assistive technology that provides access to those components.

Why would that be used in an enterprise app?

Did not check your other examples, as your question is not really making sense to me, Okay: 10 seconds ...
What about the "sounds" package? I never used it. Enterprise or not.

XML? You are aware that you only need XML packages when your application somehow uses XML?

The border where XML touches a normal Java program is: Maven.

And sane people have ported to Gradle long ago.

Another 10 seconds to glance over your list?

Oh, was easy, too: Swing. That is a GUI library. No one uses that in "enterprise" software.

Hope that helped :P

Javax was/is part of the JRE, for example all of Swing, the old Java GUI library is in javax.

No one upgrades from a low number to a mid range number.

Som guy above kind of suggested that, too.

You upgrade to the current number, or one below.

First you simply install the new Java, and start the old program.

Then you figure, you have to write a module definition file, because the idiots could not resist to introduce modules into Java in a way that breaks all old code.

And then, you decide if it is worth it to port it by: fixing all the damn problems the new version gives you.

In general: it is not worth it.

I have no idea why this Java "version" thing is even an issue on the internet. No one talks about C++ or C# issues, because there are none.

Because one way or the other, Oracle is always involved.
Not sure why big organizations use it instead of heaving a small department which curates their own version.

No idea why this got modded troll.
You are completely right.

There are plenty of organizations that are still on Java 8.

Customer facing software is behind a layer of HTML, and back ends that communicate with the outside are behind firewalls.

There is no farking way that an outside can exploit a vulnerability based on knowing the Java version.

And upgrading to another version only trades known (and fixed?) vulnerabilities to unknown and unfixed ones.

What is the benefit of upgrading to a newer Java version if the old system does not use any of the newer language features? Oooops, none of course.

Does anyone upgrade to a newer C++ compiler and recompile the running system and redeploys it? I don't think so.

Interesting! I have to read that.

Thank you!

I agree, it is brain dead like so many idiotic things MS is doing.

I had to fix a laptop for a guy I know today. There are "three fingere gestures" active on the trackpad - no one knows what they do.

I switch off all that bullshit on my laptops (does not matter if Mac or Windows) I am seriously not in the mood to memorize "oh what did I do, with my fingers?" and how to revert it ...

And I seriously can not remember why in one app swiping left is like and in the other it is swiping right.

When I want to delete an email by "swiping" it gets into "archived" what the fark is that?

I guess it is fair to round it up to 569, or even 580ml then?
Pints in Thailand are 620, I assumed UK would be the same.
