You'd do well to read up on a topic before resorting to criticism.
You have never used C#? I have & still do. Yes C# has many exception handling mechanisms, but my point is that C# doesn't enforce a "checked" exception. You'd do well to use the language before resorting to criticism.
I didn't see it in the doc - the one thing that would really make this language a bit better - the "throws" keyword. Right now, you can't define an operation to throw an exception that the calling operation must catch. Blah.
If you are going to copy Java, at least get the important stuff in there..
I don't know - Airport Magazines? Those darn things cause so much trouble. ("Listen team, I saw this article about... and I thought if we shifed to...). Those things are a disaster.
"Yet while the software itself is free, the cost to maintain and upgrade it can become very expensive"
Yeah - good thing they didn't have to FIRST pay for the software, and THEN have to pay to upgrade and maintain it. Sheesh. Microsoft would never make you do that...
Gloves + table saw = bad.

The "Spider Case"

· Score: -1, Offtopic
Neat mod, but I have to say, wearing gloves while operating a table saw isn't going to help - he's lucky it just nipped his finger. If he had gloves on there would have been a good chance he would have lost the finger. Same thing for the router.
"considering that the Internet could be used to hatch plans"
Well, why not install listening devices in all houses & apartments then, since plans could be hatched there as well. I'm sure most of us wouldn't mind.. much.
It's not that loud - quieter than regular vac's. It works very well on wood floor and low pile carpet. Here's some related/. stories on it.. here and here . It just rocks.
I got one for my wife for Christmas. Here are some observations:
1. If you have carpets with tassles (throw rugs) you have to fold them under the carpet. Just like regular vac's that chew up the string, the roomba will also eat them.
2. Cords. You have to make sure you have them nicely tucked away.
3. You still have to pick up the junk on the floors - clothes, rocks, toys, spare parts, etc, just like you would do when (if) you sweep up otherwise. It's a nice trade off though, just pick up then turn it on.
4. We only have wood floors with area carpets, no deep pile. I don't know how well it would work on deeper pile.
And was much better than battlebots - none of that
sportscaster crap. Straight up battles.
I remember watching it on PBS last year, around
this time (before battlebots started on Comedy Central). Since I saw Robot Wars first, watching
battlebots was a let down just because of the sports casting like environment.
Not to mention the simplicity OOP affords. Sure your can do all the OO stuff in C like many have posted, but for God's sake, who in thier right mind would want to maintain that code.
Reuse is such a big factor in OOP. I work in a
very heavy client/sever environment, three tier architecture system. I could not imagine doing it in C. Keep in mind that most programmers really are not that good, and when you get your average programmer in to debug some software and they have to spend days trying to figure out the byzantine use of obscure C practices and other abortions in code, bugs become very, very expensive to fix.
As Mike posted, the key is proper OOA/OOD. This really does pay off quickly. If you've never seen it in action, you should try to check it out.
If you want to do software development/engineering, then you should go with the CS. If you want to do something other, like testing or system engineering, than the CIS may be good for that.
There is a reason that CS is much harder to get, and that translates directly to being able to do well in an interview. The better you know your stuff, the better you can do in an interview. Yes, you can know your stuff and have a CIS and still get that great job, but it all boils down to how well you can relate what you know to the interviewer.
Getting the CS is not going to be considered a negative in any way, and since your job right now is to get the degree, you might as well go with the sure thing. If you go with the CIS and then realize down the road that you should have gone with the CS, well, that just sucks.
"... generational transmission of values has become even more outmoded, increasingly irrelevant."
What? How so? Talk about fishing for a story here. Take for instance the "generational transmission of the value of not stealing". How many youngster's are out there lifting video games from the store? Not many. How did they learn not to steal? Someone had to teach them, to tell them not to do it. Don't tell me store security prevents it from happening.
Sheesh, this story is really reaching for a purpose. Back to the drawing board with it, please.
Don't mess with Texas.. I mean the Republicans... I mean big business... Christ - half a million for using a cell phone. How much would it have been had he had internet access on the phone?
Not for me - the first company went away, and since the options for company B are for stocks that are still traded on the NYSE, there is no point in doing anything with them. They did convert from A to B - at B's "exchange" rate.. Which sucked (about a 1 for 2 rate..)
Slashdot Mirror
Check out this. Looks like you can order it with Red Hat (enterprise) installed. I think that's pretty positive..
I'm sure the RIAA would be able to sell a tracking service to locate the card by its RFID tag.. Oh, wait, there's going to be a tag also, right?
Yeah - this SCO mess even makes arguments like the Chewbacca Defense sound reasonable.

I was hoping for "hogwash" - but that didn't show up. I guess boondoggle will have to do.

Yeah really - that line should be released under the GPL for all of us to use before SCO claims it as theirs & charges $6.99. What a sig.
Looks like congress didn't forget. They popped a cap in CAPPS..

You obviously don't understand what reuse is. Copying is exactly what you want to avoid.
Not to mention the simplicity OOP affords. Sure your can do all the OO stuff in C like many have posted, but for God's sake, who in thier right mind would want to maintain that code.
