"No US or DoD agency has any data pertaining to UAPs. There is nothing to report." Analysis complete. Does anyone think if they had something they would ever report it? There is zero consequence for not reporting observations, whether they be glitchy radar or a foreign adversary with new tech. If the Chinese or Russians have advanced tech, the DoD is certainly not to going release it. Revealing that we have been outsmarted by the Chinese or Russians (or have really glitchy sensor data) is not something the DoD is going to broadcast.

750k to live in a broom closet. Combine that with a 45 minute commute to go 5 miles, inflated prices, bumper to bumper traffic and smelly public transit it sounds like a great deal to be an office drone.

This is also true in safety critical automotive. I have never seen C++. It is just dumb to use it.

You mean that fighter that is still over-budget, over schedule and the software systems still don't work?

The expansion hypothesis is not yet fully accepted. There are other models that explain redshift without expansion that make all the same predictions about CMBR, etc. Even ones that don't require magic "dark energy". http://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2485 http://www.nature.com/news/cos...

Inflation Cosmology is starting to be questioned as well. There are other hypothesis from people in the field that don't require magic dark energy, matter or expanding space. http://phys.org/news190027752.... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/... http://arxiv.org/abs/1303.6878

Yes. There is an entire world beyond the sphere of web programmers. Go into the automotive sector and ask about using python, java or any other higher level language in a engine controller.... LInux? I don't want my car to take 2 minutes to boot and go into a kernel panic because a guy in his basement wrote a driver for something. Python? We can put 1 GB of ram so a lazy programmer can have his pristine language environment. In the world where things have to work reliably and there is no room for esoteric languages, C rules the roost

You must be doing something very wrong. I have 3 products now with the LPC4357. The GNU tools work just fine!

Nice to know my integers aren't affected. :-

Let's see.... Some Examples... Freescale Freedom Platform NCP LPC Xpresso TI Stellaris Launch Pad. Each have ARM Cortex M0/M3/M4 variants. All those options are less than an Arduino. They each have accessible IO, lots of tool chain options and aren't crippled by the Arduino front end. (i.e. real debuggers) NXP even has M0 parts in an 8-pin dip. Arduino is like the guitar hero version of a microcontroller. Sure, you may look cool and sound OK tethered to a game machine but in the end you are slapping 4 plastic buttons.

I would disagree on this. Interface design often is as important as the implementation. It can take a good deal of effort to design and test a *good* interface. it often requires just as much engineering as an implementation.

That being said, I don't think there is anything remarkable about Java. In some ways this decision is a good thing.

1.) it may turn off enough people to never use java (which is a good thing). It was a horrible idea and runs like dog crap on *everything*

2.) Google should be punished for using such a system on an embedded platform. The whole idea of an interpreted code language on a high performance embedded device is dumb. This is why Android phones:

a.) crash
b.) run like crap
c.) have horrible memory/system requirements.


And if you are concerned about the environment, think of the carbon footprint of these types of systems (Java, .net, etc). All those extra CPU cycles to interpret code using up power..... sigh.

Altium Designer.

Not to sound to cruel, but I see this being overused more by people who are simply lazy. Every time to goto a store, I see overweight folks using the electric karts to scoot them selves around so they can fill their baskets with oreos and ice cream... That and old people..... I always tell people I am "pro death panel". We simple can't afford to keep pumping cash into machines such as this to keep 90 year people moving around.

Oh god, Rupert Murdoch among the moonbats at slashdot has now reached the same level of the "Illuminati" in the conspiracy nut circles.
