Nevrtheless this wonder me some phylosophical questions.
How the Heisenberg uncertainty affects to a quantum computer?
What is the minimun energy neccesary to store one bit?
What it is the maximun speed a bit can travel?
Do the information can be stored with 100% of efficiency?
Can the information be processed and transmited with 100% of reliability?
A dozen of forms to write the same simple task and none of them and the most intuitive is incorrect and a dozen more that leads to memory fragmentation or memory leaks.
It is a montruosity of language. It will be even more unintuitive, harder and frustrating.
My fellows are not programmers, they are mathematicias and engineers. I am the only one who has a little knodlegde to make an average robust code, but I am still making embarrased mistakes. In my job I had a whole week wasted because someone made a memory leak.
Bjarne Stroustrup said that we should not relay on propietary languages. In the future, while propietary languages will be incompatibles, certainly and he promise, C++ will be still there.
I see another future!. I see Bjarne Stroustrup is retired and fishing in a lake and the whole old school with him. C++ slowly abandoned without ceremony while the fresh blood are programming in C# using.Net technology.
There are too many aspects that a dislike on C#, but. Hey! Out of there, there are real people with real jobs that need their work done. At this moment C# is a light year beyond. In least than five years of existence of.Net there is a 3.0 version coming and everybody programming in C#.
No matters how we cry out about the devil strategies of M$ and the poor performance of its products. That M$ blah...blah.... Every one will be dancing under M$ song. This time they are doing damn good well.
And if the Linux community still relay in C++ as their main language the community will be knocked down before knowing who strikes you. In this world we should think fast, move fast or your are obsolette. C++ is still there because of its enormous inertia. But it is a dying language.
Not only ozoone, but also it contributes to the global warming with a 250% of efficiency.
Great! My room will never be so hot in winter thanks to the new micro toste. I wonder if it is also a multipurpose device and I can make fried eggs on the cpu!
Unless I've been understanding this wrong, this thing wasn't just a Microsoft prototype. It was submitted by several companies, so why is Microsoft the only one who is questioning it? Are the others backing Microsoft in their complains? Do the others not care enough? Or is there something more nefarious going on - do the others think that the FCC's claims are true?
It is always the same. Microsoft against the rest of the world. I quest they are now working on submiting a new standard for radio waves to the ECMA.
I want to argue that C syntax is developed to work only a CPU. If you want to make a code for a GPU for example there is a language with similar syntax to C say HLSL or GLSL or Cg. And the future is GPU, FPGA, parallel computing, multithreading clustering and specialized hardware. As long as C cannot extend its primitives to vertor3f or matrix44 and able to unified all the hardware improvements this language is dead in less than one decade or sooner. Maybe it must be something between C and the assembler, lets say B?
For me C++ is also almost dead. As a programmer I need something that works and makes my job easier. And I cannot wait to have multithreading, garbage collector, metaprogramming, modularity, standard GUIs and so on while this features has been running a loong ago, since the mid 90's. I like some aspects of C# and I dislike some other aspects, but rather prefer a lot over C++, nevertheless its design has a breach between native C and I think it is intentionally.
I agree to use the right tool for the right job. Well I have a problem. Maybe someone can help me. I have to use a library that has been developed during 8 years and it is made in C. No mention the library is huge and it takes 15 minutes to compile and to miss "xxx.h" makes me waste ours of work time. Now let's move some of the core algorithms to run them in a GPU. So let's introduce another compiler (CUDA if you ask) to the project. But now it comes the best. Let's add another layer so we can have a GUI application over OpenGL. Cannot be C. C++ is insane. Maybe C#, Java? How I link it to the core? This project is insane, isn't it?
I have seen D for a while and it looks like very promising I think I will start to support it with some modest contribution.
After some hours I really be able to identify a blur image as a clock spiral.
One friend look at the same image and said
-What? I see nothing but a white blur image? It could be anything
-See carefully and USE YOUR IMAGINATION.
-Ok. Now I think I am able to see your clockwise spiral galaxy.
I have playing with this for a while and I feeling almost the same sensations of a kid looking through his new telescope. I don't know if my time will be usefull for science, but at least I like to participate in this kind of initiatives. After hours playing Tetris I usually feel guilty for my waste of time. There are beatifll pictures and the fact that I could discover something really interesting encorage me. I should be more initiatives like this.
I have trying for a couple of minutes. Most of the pictures has a low resolution I supose this are galaxies far far away. But it is hardly to distinguish nothing.
Well. Now it is just a metter to move to a political sphere and change the law.
No one can stops the RIAA to overtake the world. Not this judge, not the law, not the people. You just borrowed your freedom. Is is jus a matter of time and money!
Do you really believe that they will allow to Internet radio to continue overseas. Sooner or later, we would get messages like this.

Using the appropriate libraries every plain-brain-wave programmer can script a code to communicate wit a data base and a freaky game. But that is not science computer.
Making a low level code for managing data structures and 3d engine is the hard part and it involves a lot of maths science behind the algorithms.
It is a good question. Take an example how math do you need to design the Airbus A380. Don't you hardly believe that they are using very complex computers algorithms as well as lot of pen and boards full of very complex math equations?
..
Have you tried to switch on? Oh! yes! Now it works!
The main problem with barebones is cool this down. In this confined space there is a lot of heat to be evacuated sense and it needs a lot of noisy fans. It looks like a toaster and it is like toaster in every sense.
I wonder if they have figure out a system with its entire components dipped in oil.
Physics without maths is called philosophy.
Philosophy without physics is called theology.
Where the only true is called G.
Computers without maths are a TV screen.
A player without a screen is a windows machine.
Were the only true is called B.
Wait a moment!...
Profit!

Switching to another SO is hard for anyone. But for my mom who barely know how to write a email imposible.
Nevertheless do anyone foget that allowing piracy for home customers was always part of the main strategy of Microsoft to wipe out the competence?
they could be used to accelerate Java, .Net, and dynamic optimizers
So for CPU manufactures C++ is dead. Thanks for to be so clear.
Just take a look to this as an example to how frustrating, clumsy and unintuitive C++ can be.
.Net technology.
.Net there is a 3.0 version coming and everybody programming in C#.

I tell you why the PCI slots configuration.
2 PCIe slots X 16 for a NVIDIA 8800 GTX or ULTRA graphic card
1 PCIe slot X 8 for a Virtex FPGA
1 PCIe slot X 1 for a PhysX
And Lets rock this baby!
I wonder if have to pay royalties, too.

Well I suppose that there are much important buildings even in Lisboa to be considered as a wonder.
Consider the Amazonas Rain Forest as a wonder. At least what it remains.
I agree. It put the bases of modern arquitecture based on concrete and it has been the inspiration for all basilicas around the world. Even today.
