Microsoft has had such a service for a few years now, they call it SkyDrive. Unfortunately it wasn't a very good user experience when I last looked at it. It's been a while though (and I just use Dropbox now), so it might have gotten better

Java and the JVM are not the same thing. Java is a programming language. The JVM is a stack-based virtual machine that executes Java bytecode. Java bytecode is what Java compiles into (ie. the contents of .class files). As it happens, the J

In scala you would use a for-comprehension to get the same effect: for (p <- persons; if p.getAge >= 18) { println(p); }

Big O notation is intended to convey the algorithm's runtime as a function of the inputs. By the sounds of it, the number of checkboxes you had was actually fixed and relatively small. In this case, the algorithm is still O(n). The real pro

This document isn't actually a legislation. It is a regulation made under the authority of the Copyright Act, and as the preamble states, it is "for the years 2009 and 2010". The actual legislation does not make any reference to "pixels" or

They have a call centre in my hometown, handling calls for a cell phone provider and a credit card company (for the most part at least). My understanding is the company mostly does incoming calls, ie. customer support lines and the like. Th

I can tell you is isn't being deallocated before being used, that would be a major bug. So, I guess it would get moved, but the GC probably won't run unless the first gen space is pretty full. I'm glossing over details because, well, the GC

High object churn shouldn't be a problem for the JVM, whether it is running Scala or Java code. Allocation lots of little objects and then discarding them shortly after is a use case the JVM is well optimized for. You would have to allocate

Actually, that doesn't appear to be the case. You can see some long term trends from StatsCounter[1]. From May 2009 to May 2011, Firefox's marketshare has been fairly stable, while IE's dropped ~18% and Chrome's rose ~17%. [1] http://gs.st

I think the other replies have answered your question well enough, but your definitions for = are a litle off. The cases 1 and 2 are really the same thing. In Python the names are references to objects. Assignment in Python is like using po

While not quite a legal requirement, at the last company I worked for the timesheet was described as something like: If we don't give the government timesheets, they don't pay us our salaries. The one before that said the timesheets were us
