Just installed the latest Java update. (yes yes, I know, that was my first mistake. Move on!  )
At the end it has a notification about automatic updates being downloaded and installed, and there's a link that says "See instructions if you want to change this behaviour".
When you click the link, Notepad opens, but no file is loaded.
Is this a subtle hint that you can't change the behaviour??

Sounds like the installer works just as well as the framework! 
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

There's some people where I work at that are all about Java... Even though it's a good and powerful language, I hate fan boys....

Am very tempted to see just how long I can string this fellow along.
From: Mark Harris

I think he want you to buy a ticket.
You might as well - it's about as likely that you'll get any money out of it either way!

I got one from a clerk at the Reserve Bank of India about a foreigner leaving behind Rs 50 million and change.
The Nigerians are far ahead in this game!

were you able to evaluate his Name, the Company and, let´s say, his Position in the Company?
then, and only then i would consider temptation as an Option...
but, in my opinion, answering to those "invitations" is a loss of lifetime mostly...

i never received those mails.
ok, that "turns the Tide"...
(thank god for LEO! without it, my english would be abysmal!

Send him a Nigerian's email address.
Probably both end up in the same box.

Go for it, Ravi! I look forward to your progress reports!

Rust[^]
Quote: Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured expression language. It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details
It's a Mozilla backed language and I can't help but think the world does not need another programming language. However, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's been playing with it.

Steel yourself...
Here it comes...
It'll certainly test your mettle.

OK, I'm done.

aside from being a new language what is it's purpose?
to create something simpler to work vs C/C++? getting kind of burned on all of these new languages trying to create a simpler c/c++.
are pointers really that much of a problem to deal with?
you want something inspirational??

Raw pointers? yeah
Standard Library resource managers like unique_ptr and shared_ptr? no, those are quite simple.

maybe I am just old but I don't get the confusion. it could be that I spent a large part of my career in c/c++ and dealing with pointers was just something that I did.
what I used to regularly carry with me on tool belt of code tricks was code for doing smart pointers[^]. this has to be one of my most favorite patterns.
