I have to disagree. I'd say explicit memory management only complicates matters for most development projects and moreso for new programmers.
I mean you could take your argument all the way and state newbies should start programming with assembly, so there's no compiler generating poor quality code for the user.
I think most people on Slashdot are for copyrights, but against getting FITAed by software that doesn't do what you need it to, and the vendor is the only one with the magic recipe that can fix it and doesn't care about your problem.
"Interpretation" doesn't mean "direct interpretation of source."
In the case of Sun's JVM run in interpreted mode or Dalvik in general, the bytecodes are a set of instructions foreign to the underlying hardware.
Java has the ability to convert these bytecode instructions into native instructions, which are executed directly with no interpretation.
Dalvik has no JIT ability, so the dalvik bytecodes are interpreted at runtime, every time, which makes it slower.
Compare java -Xint, which enables interpreted mode for Sun's JVM. This doesn't mean it interprets source files directly, but merely it doesn't JIT the *bytecode* at runtime. Instead, it interpets the bytecode as Dalvik does.
Again, please read up on what you're talking about, you clearly haven't a clue.
Slashdot Mirror
Even Microsoft isn't this stupid... yet anyway.
I've been avoiding Apple products due to their control issues, but this is just ridiculous.
Don't worry, in 3 or 4 years Apple fanbois will be raving about the revolutionary new iTalk and iTrack system that just debuted on the iPhone 6G.
No, more accurately:
Do no evil vs OH BOI FABULOUS
Hey Anonymous Coward, the 80's called and they want their game back.
That was a very unwise thing to admit, Mr. Ahmadinejad. Yes?
It's because the dumb fucks wrote everything in python.
Python is great for many things, but writing GUI toolkits isn't one of them.
If we let cursive die, calligraphy could be next to go!
Unfortunately for Microsoft, that's not a lot of users.
I used "Boobies."
You should just be thankful bing didn't return:
"You searched for "SNES Game" - Don't you really mean "Xbox 360 Games"?"
My press release says a glowing blue gem?
Wait, what? You have a very poor grasp of history.
In any event, I don't even own a Mac, I'm a Linux user.
You know, a fucking nerd who lives in their parent's basement.
No, however they do provide free lube.
I'd say it's more that Apple is Geek Chic and Microsoft is more like a bunch of fucking nerds.
I'm honestly not the guy above you, but I also feel you're a 14 year old script kiddie.
You should evaluate you comments.

Wow, anonymous coward, I'm sure you don't work for Microsoft!
This *is* a service pack, it's a Theme + Vista SP3.
But that's not all... you get to pay for it!
Oh modern living, what won't you provide for me?
And I'm going to patent the patent patenting patent process, just to annoy you, you pedant!
Ubuntu has "encrypted home directory" as an option during install. Very slick and painless and would completely prevent something like this.
Unless you took your PC to be serviced by Bruce Schneier or something.
Please see my other post about reading up on what you're talking about.
Thanks!

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos, err, IBM!
