While we're at it, why not make a movie for the Silmarilion?
The problem with The Silmarillion is that its more a recording of an oral history than a straight work of fiction. Maybe some of the stories inside such as "The Tale of Turin Turambar" could be made though.
It's hard enough to take his comments about a tyrant producing the best design, but to say that better design could not have at least delayed the collapse of the towers, allowing hundreds more to escape is plain wrong.
C++ may be a bit of a kludge, but it suffers from trying to patch too much OO onto C, not from being half-hearted. Multiple inheritance kinda works, but templates and the STL are clearly an afterthought.
If they really wanted to teach OO for the sake of OO, than maybe SmallTalk or Eiffel would be a better choice.
Thanks for your post. I've found there are virtually no original problems, and your answers and concrete suggestions will be invaluable to myself and others.
It's lucky that the Judicial branch is well known to be fully impartial, and would never vote along party lines. If they did that, they'd have the power to annoint their own preferred president.
No, it's still possible to binary-patch programs - but it's damned hard, near impossible to do anything complex, unless you first partially reverse-engineer the software.
Virus patch binary executables all the time. Its simple enough to patch the entry point to jump to added code at the end of the file, and then jump straight back.
It's a fun show, even in this season which is considerably darker than those before it.
Its not darker, its just less interesting watching characters who are in a miserable rut week in and week out. The jokes, villains and hereos this season are just limp.
Well I'd nominate Afterstep as having the best desktop pager/switcher app of any WM. You can have multiple desktops divided into as many multiple workspaces as you like. Applications can even sit between different workspaces.
You can run kde & gnome apps anyway, as long as you've got the gtk+ and qtx libraries installed. I don't find that kde or gnome offers that big advantage over a traditional WM.
They need the assurance that there is no God - or at least that the existence of God is very unlikely. Otherwise the thought that they are going to suffer for eternity after death gets unnerving.
Your assuming eternal damnation awaits every atheist. I hope you've chosen the right brand of Christianity, because who knows what a vengeful God will do to people that worship other Gods?
Writing a document on a specific subset of applications is a perfectly valid thing to do.
A paper titled simply 'Designing Applications' would have to cover everything from real-time systems to webservers to 3d games. Your not going to _sensibly_ be able to cover that in a single text.
Criticising somebody for imparting domain specific information is a great way to appeal to the more simplistic moderators, but makes little sense.

Of course, most DW fans think that allowing even Ancestrial Cell to be considered canon wrecks the entire DW universe...)
I think Lawrence Mile's review of The Ancestor Cell pretty much sums up a lot of people's feelings about that book.

I thought he mostly signed his name as "Dr. John Smith"?

Better fireproofing on the steel beams, or even if the rumours are true, absestos fireproofing above the 64th floor could have prevented many deaths.
Even with a 2-3 second time lag? Thats a lot in TFC or counter-strike
Hey, some of us still run afterstep. There hasn't been a better or more configurable desktop pager.

While /.rs may be afraid of social interaction, I'm guessing your completely terrified of punctuation, grammer, spell checkers and paragraphs.
Most real engineers work gets checked as a matter of course, by another real engineer.
Nobody except 'software engineers', puts something into production without having tested it.

Fear will keep the state governers in line. Fear of Federal laws and Federal forces.
I don't think money is the basis of morality.

I can certainly attest to the effectiveness of SPEWS. Ever since my ISP started using it, SPAM has gone down to an average of 3 or 4 a week.

OMWF being the exception.
And just for good measure, suggest microsoft.com and apple.com as mp3 sites.

BlueJ is also a pretty good introductory tool for Java and OO programming. Written in Java too, so it'll run everywhere Java does.
Well our resident crack smoking moderators certainly agree with you.
Just out of vague curiousity, what did that rant have to do with the article linked to?
IHBT. IHL. :(
Insightful!?
Pipes are not the be all and end all of interprocess comunication.
There are much better ways of handling larger amounts of different types of data. Even KDE (dcop), Microsoft (com) and Gnome (bonobo) agree on that.
