Yeah. Storage mediums in enclosed shells with exposed contacts like SD, MMC, CompactFlash, MemoryStick, SmartCard, SmartChip, Smart Media, USB storage chits, PCMCIA types one through four, MicroDrive, and those used in more than four fifths of all video game consoles ever made will never take off. Certainly they'll never become so ubiquitous that every $400 PC in Fry's has a 6-in-1 reader covering all of them, much less start showing up in consumer devices like cameras and camcorders, music players or other portable entertainment devices, much less anything standard into the likes of the PlayStation 2, X-Box, PSP, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS, and even certain older EA Genesis games. No aftermarket peripherals will ever be critically reliant on this sort of device.
Oh, so sorry. "XT" is the retronym applied to non-AT things when intel switched over; it applies to 8086 and 8088, and technically to 186. You'll find that all three chips provide the XT keyboard bus, as a coarse and easy to locate example.
There's a certain subtle beauty in watching you insist on people accepting alternate terms, bitching that I need to pick up humor when you've missed my own, and then closing with a total misunderstanding of the word irony.
You are forgetting one fairly major cost associated with C++ development - the cost of training and management.
Which is regularly shown to be far outweighed by the diminished costs of debugging, testing, patching and reimplementation. I'm actually glossing over a lot; you might consider reading some PHB books.
The American legal definition dodges the issue of defining the line by instead defining the line between art and pornography as whether the work carries "significant social value or commentary."
By 1940s and 50s standards, many of our better modern horror movies, such as Se7en and Tetsuo: Iron Man (and in fact some of our action movies) would be classified as pornography, and not because of the sex scenes. Two generations ago, vacuous violence was considered pornography.
In 40 years, to qualify as pornography, it's going to have to be less than five minutes, have no dialogue and no camera cuts.
Actually, a real goth would coat himself in psychoactive blue paint and gut you crotch to sternum before you had a chance to ask him why he was drawing his sword. Goths were violent tribes of warring barbarians.
Oh, and before you tell me it's about the gothic movement in the catholic church, please familiarize yourself with the art and architecture of the period, which is largely about soft edges and pastels, pink stone, that sort of thing.
The 80s social movement couldn't have picked a less appropriate name.
If you think it's OK, you obviously haven't been involved in kernel or embedded development.
Actually, I've been doing embedded development for a living for almost six years. With proper care, C++ generates smaller binaries with smaller memory footprints than C, thanks to userland control of pooling, policies, and linking-discardable specializable libraries.
If you say one should be careful what features of C++ he uses and not to use this and that, I say one should learn proper C skills instead.
That's a total straw man. What I said was that the costs of C++ development were misunderstood. That has little to do with your knowledge of C, save where the two languages overlap, and where they overlap that's a tautological non-distinction.
Well, then consider sharks, snakes, or everyone's favorite example of things with big teeth, great cats (lynx teeth aren't much bigger than human teeth, but then there's the mastodon...)
<joke type="x/pun-name" class="bad">You see, blockhead?</pun>
It's about fucking time. Now maybe we're on the path to a bullet for killing those shallow arguments about C++ somehow being majorly slower than C, as opposed to people just not knowing the costs of C++ features.
The very first XT was 4.77 mHz, and no slower 808? generation chip was ever made, even by competitors.
WordPerfect/NeXT 1.0.1 is a WordPerfect 5.0 direct port and they're virtually identical, and NeXT didn't exist until 1990. You're an entire decade off; WordPerfect 4 requires the 286 command set. The 8086 cannot run WP5, or in fact even 4, regardless of your personal patience.
Methinks you need to either lay off the bonghits or actually live through the history you're talking about.
Oh, so sorry. That's what everyone guessed, but it was revealed at E3 that it actually means "Developer's System," a reference to the new flexibility in control chemes offered by the touchscreen. I forget who it was that said that (Iwata, maybe?) but it was right before the speech Yu Suzuki gave about how much Sega wants to write Nintendo games. (le sigh.) Then, he went on to save face by being the only interesting panellist that Nintendo had. So, whatever. One for two isn't bad.
If it's 173 in a quarter, there's a good chance that more politicians were bought than X-Boxes in Japan.
There are a number of amusing cosmetic surgeries and certain obscure piercings that are certainly outselling the X-Box.
Many individual pornography titles will have outsold the X-Box 10,000:1, but perhaps more amusingly, almost every individual pornography title will have outsold the system.
Many local zines published at coffee shops will have outsold the X-Box, as well as some highschool newspapers, most yearbooks and even self-published CDs by up-and-coming musicians.
Most girl scouts, and I presume therefore some japanese Girl Scout equivalent, will individually outsell the X-Box in cookies, both by count and by profit against manufacturing cost.
The daily special at most resteraunts in Japan will outsell the X-Box.
In fact, it looks like the only thing that isn't outselling the X-Box in Japan is <badbear action="karmawhore">SCO Unix</badbear>
You really have to choose your market or you're doomed to thrash in trying to please everyone; specific-purpose tools serve niche markets better than niche "one for all" tools.
This product is a perfect example. It wants to be Visual-Basic-Style, yet it also wants to be production quality.
Why shouldn't there have been a horse with one horn at some point in time?
Given their purportedly massive stature and resistance to being cut, there are many which suggest that the unicorn legend is the descendant of early reports of rhinoceri.
Blue Ray has a magic bullet: PS3 is blue ray, and PS2's production volume alone is enough to justify commercial work. Sony held the dvd writable wars pretty much all on its own. They lost betamax and minidisc, but they won 3.5" floppy and the console wars.
Also, memory stick is about to be the default memory format for both the PS3 and the PSP. Memory Stick won't be an also-ran for much longer, I'm afraid.
they claim that it can handle 10 simlutaneous presses (at least that's what it seems to say), which would mean that to do more you'd have to use more than just both your hands.

I prefer my pesos hard-top; I hate it when my change leaks and makes it look like I peed my pants.

Never happen. Certainly not in 1997.

As far as being multilingual, who decides what the student's second language should be?
Me.
And, in response to your challenging me, I condemn your child to have as a second language Urdu.
Keep your yap shut or it'll be Linear B.

That'd be the Compaq PC/XT clone line, with the turbo keysequence ctrl-alt-esc, and the turbo speed of 8.14mHz. I had the same thing.
The very first XT was 4.77 mHz, and no slower 808? generation chip was ever made, even by competitors.

Probably Dr. Koop's site, about deep cuts and infection.
Oh shut up, I'm already going there for other reasons anyway.
