Wow, torn down to the studs…and they want a half mil. Calling it a fixer upper is being generous. That thing needs six figures of work inside to make it habitable. That doesn’t even include the shape of the yard that will have to be addressed.

For the life of me I can’t see how a place under 1000 sq feet is worth 3/4 of a million even if it’s four blocks from the beach.

And technically, Android isn’t Java either. It uses the Java language to compile into a bytecode for a dalvik vm, but not a jdk and clearly the byte code isn’t compatible. (In hindsight that was the smartest thing to have done with Oracle now owning sun and butching the entire java space)…

You need to differentiate between android applications (java) and the android OS (linux). For the most part, android apps are java. Yes, there are some minor differences between the android (dalvik) VM and a standard VM but they are mostly minor–with the exception of the entire android API. This is entirely different from J2ME which was not at all compatible with a standard java VM.

For the most part, we’ve been able to take libraries (jars) that we have built to run on the server (e.g. communication protocols, data models) and drop them directly on the android (including their external dependencies) and they run fine. We’d never have been able to do this on J2ME.

I’ve written applications for both–it’s a whole different animal.

Actually, technically, android is not linux anymore (it’s a technicality…Let’s just say it’s linux-ish).[/quote]

well, considering we are hacking the android linux kernel for a custom application I’d have to disagree with you…

[quote=briansd1]I don’t see how wearing the burqa affects anyone but the wearer.[/quote]

Unless they insist on wearing it when their driver’s license picture is taken…with everything except the eyes covered. It’s already happened here.

My bank makes me take off my hat and sunglasses when I come through the front door so they can recognize me if I try and rob the place. Why should someone wearing a burqa be treated differently?
