Happy as Larry: Why Oracle won the Google Java Android case

Re: Haha

You forgot to point out that Java allows multiple programs to run concurrently, without memory mapping hardware or even an OS, because it is impossible to create a "pointer" in Java. A "reference" is a very controlled notion of "pointer", and you cannot access the memory of one Java program from another which is cohabiting the processor, in the same address space, because of these references. Do that in C or C++! (There are many other languages that do not embody the concept of "pointer", Java is only one of them. C and C++ are not).

What are "command line tortures"? I have been using C and C++ for decades, and not once have I had to do anything on a "command line" to compile, execute, and/or debug my code. What alternate reality are you living in?
