What you are referring to as Java, is in fact not a programming language unto itself, but rather another component of a fully functioning Java Enterprise System made useful by utilities such as the JVM (Jail for Vulnerable Muckware), JDK (Jargon Debugging Kit), and most importantly NetBeans.

I bought a towbar & on the order tracking page it features other related listings Not once does it suggest a tow ball, or wiring harness. Instead it's dozens of other towbars, for models of cars I don't own and have never searched for. Who is this for?? I feel online shopping sites always do this

What if they made a full body tracking VR dancing game. Like Beat Saber meets Just Dance

It's crazy using a nicely maintained operating system, I had been with winblows for so long I had forgotten what it was like to have stuff work and be snappy Some of my Games run better than windows. BETTER

How did I only just realise that metal as a music genre is named as a response to rock (as in stone)

Before it was "buying your food from a supermarket is more efficient, due to economies of scale" And now it's "oh, food is expensive? Well just grow it yourself with your free time and free land" And if we ever even succeeded, suddenly the supermarkets would drop prices and the cycle repeats

If each person contributing has a fractional influence over the final quality of the film. Isn't it statistically more likely to be just average, rather than terrible? Whereas with a book, it all rests on one person. I think a random sample of books would have more variation in quality than films

My favourite thing about the adage: "Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway" Is that the part that dates it, isnt the magnetic tapes, but the station wagon.

Did you hear about the latest data leak controversy? They discovered a group of operators that have been receiving special signals to allow third parties to manipulate the flow of data. People are dubbing it "logic-gate"
