Did you try out the technical preview? You can do full screen now properly. You also get copy&paste working like it should and some other stuff as well.
As much as I agree that J2EE is bloated, the fact that you can migrate a project to a less bloated stack and still run it proves nothing. The whole point of the whole "bloatiness" is so that supporting/changing the system in the the long run will be faster, easier, and cheaper.
Just to make it clear to everybody, this is not an electronic voting system. This is only a set of applications to accelerate vote counting before the official results. All of the votes must be counted and submitted the "old fashion way". You couldn't mess with the actual results by hacking this "appkenstein".
Here is a great talk about it from a doctor withouth any new age babble. He gives very simple advice and even backs up his claims with some research.
The gist of it is:
- For 15 minutes a day sit down and try not to think/observe your body/observe what is going on in your dead
- Do this for 30 days, after that your brain should pick it up and do it more or less automatically
A radical solution, I know, but why not just pay for flying over someones land? And, if your destination is not available through another route at the right price/format, just take the bus?
"Keep in mind that no-one but the Germans were aware that blitzkreig would be as fast as it was"
Yeah, that's a great excuse. That should be written in the anglo-polish military alliance:
"in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence, and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power... Unless of course the germans use tanks and move very quickly. In that case, sorry".
The UK did not ally itself with Poland to help them from being taken over. It was a way of saying to Hitler, that he can't just do what he wants in Europe (like anecting Czechoslovakia) without the Germans and French approving it. The war was immenent, and everybody seemd to know that except for Chamberlain. This was only an act of self interest on behalf of the UK, and hey, who could blame them for that?
What you can't reasonably argue though, is that they tried to really help Poland in the beginning of WW2, and that they didn't betray them at the end in Yalta. And the occupation by the Soviets really wasn't much better than by the Nazis.
There was no real plan to take the Soviets on, because the Allies had no real stake in it.
This is unfortunately not true. Great Britian declared war on Germany, but provided none support to Poland. This was also the case during the Warsaw Uprising. After the war has ended Poland has been sold by under the Russian occupacion. The polish fighter squadrons that took part in the battle of britain were not even allowed to join the wining parade. They were sent home to what was now considered an enemy state. The Brits may have done a lot of things, but most certailny not the right thing.
