The ban is varying from state to state.Some of my friends having Airtel as their ISP can't get through but some can.
No problems coming with other ISP's
YMMV. I wish they made their other interface (i.e. in-browser editor) more accessible.
Even after 100 times, I found it counter-intuitive and irritating that clicking "New Post" on my site would launch my email client instead of their editor. The latter is buried somewhere in Settings.
Our web editor is definitely in need of some love, and we'll be updating that later this year.
We're changing our "post" links to all go to the web editor. While email is still the #1 way our users post to posterous, those already on the web want to stay on the web.
For images: we default to grouping them together into a gallery. But you can also separate them out into individual photos.
#Using Java for serious jobs is like trying to take the skin off a rice pudding wearing boxing gloves. -- Tel Hudson
#Of all the great programmers I can think of, I know of only one who would voluntarily program in Java. And of all the great programmers I can think of who don't work for Sun, on Java, I know of zero. -- Paul Graham
#Java is the most distressing thing to happen to computing since MS-DOS. -- Alan Kay
#Java is, in many ways, C++--. -- Michael Feldman
#C++ is history repeated as tragedy. Java is history repeated as farce. -- Scott McKay
#Arguing that Java is better than C++ is like arguing that grasshoppers taste better than tree bark. -- Thant Tessman
#Like the creators of sitcoms or junk food or package tours, Java's designers were consciously designing a
product for people not as smart as them. -- Paul Graham
#There are undoubtedly a lot of very intelligent people writing Java, better programmers than I will ever be. I just wish I knew why. -- Steve Holden
#The more of an IT flavor the job descriptions had, the less dangerous was the company. The safest kind were the ones that wanted Oracle experience. You never had to worry about those. You were also safe if they said they wanted C++ or Java developers. If they wanted Perl or Python programmers, that would be a bit frightening. If I had ever seen a job posting looking for Lisp hackers, I would have been really worried. -- Paul Graham
#In the best possible scenario Java will end up mostly like Eiffel but with extra warts because of insufficiently thoughtful early design. -- Matthew B Kennel
#The only thing going for java is that it's consuming trademark namespace. -- Boyd Roberts
#Java is the SUV of programming tools. A project done in Java will cost 5 times as much, take twice as long, and be harder to maintain than a project done in a scripting language such as PHP or Perl. ... But the programmers and managers using Java will feel good about themselves because they are using a tool that, in theory, has a lot of power for handling problems of tremendous complexity. Just like the suburbanite who drives his SUV to the 7-11 on a paved road but feels good because in theory he could climb a 45-degree dirt slope. -- Greenspun, Philip
#JAVA truly is the great equalizing software. It has reduced all computers to mediocrity and buggyness. - NASA's J-Track web site
#C and Java are different in the non-excitability department, though. With C, you don't get excited about it like you don't get excited about a good vintage wine, but with Java, you don't get excited about it like you don't get excited about taking out the garbage. -- Lamont Cranston (aka Jorden Mauro)
#Java is about as fun as an evening with 300 hornets in a 5m^2 room -- andguent
#If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution. -- Robert Sewell
Java: write once, run away! -- Cinap Lenrek
Java is a DSL to transform big XML documents into long exception stack traces. -- Scott Bellware
#The definition of Hell is working with dates in Java, JDBC, and Oracle. Every single one of them screw it up. – Dick Wall CommunityOne 2007: Lunch with the Java Posse
#Java is like a variant of the game of Tetris in which none of the pieces can fill gaps created by the other pieces, so all you can do is pile them up endlessly. -- Steve Yegge (2007, Codes Worst Enemy)
#Whenever I write code in Java I feel like I'm filling out endless forms in triplicate. -- Joe Marshall (aka jrm)
That's a lot of quotes, mostly by people I've never heard of (PG, Kay, Greenspun and Yegge excepted). I'm not saying there's no truth to them, but they're mostly fluff and little content.
Some notes: I don't know why PG can't, but I can certainly name a dozen great programmers who mostly work in Java. Greenspun recommends that instead of Java, you use (wait for it...) .NET.
any of them write a more successful language than Java? or how about Visual Basic even? For all the complaints, at least Java moved programming technology to another level on a massive scale, lest we all be complaining about C/C++ still.
Java seems to be mostly a step backwards from C++ in terms of expressiveness, with kludges here and there to hide the fact. Because the kludges are very slow, I have had significantly less luck optimizing Java than C++.
bad description doesn't connected it with the current problems or its causes rather connected with indo-china war but started making "some sense" after mid of the article.
