Yes, much, much, much faster. The python vm is pretty slow. The only way to get decent performance out of it is to write modules in C instead. And it's inherently more secure (and thus stable).
However, there is a replacement python vm in the works that has promise though, psyco. It's basically a python specific java-esque JIT capable vm.
It will probably take a while to get anywhere near Java's level of performance.
well, if they were smart, they'd have used Jython to run Django on the JVM. Then you get the proven enterprise stability of Java with the hot, trendy marketing flare of Python.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone is already working on porting it over.
PC is a term for a computer that descends from the IBM PC family and is destined for a single person to use in a home or office, which is basically an Intel/x86-based computer. It has nothing to do with the OS as Windows wasn't the only OS that ran on an IBM PC.
Macs are just PC's running some fancy bling software.
I'm not familiar with the device, but I'd assume the cops would be the ones with the "bigger" GPS unit.
They cruise to suspected locations looking for a signal. If they get within range, then they can get pretty accurate directions to where the kidnapped person is being held.
OpenGL supports all the latest features of graphics hardware. Some of the features are ARB extensions and the like, but you can do anything in OpenGL that you could do in Direct3d.
Do you honestly think id would be developing their next gen titles with OpenGL, if OpenGL was a crippled shadow of d3d might? No, OpenGL is comparable. OpenGL's main problem is that its really, really crufty because it supports every feature known to man, things Direct3d doesn't. Unfortunately, most of these things are very old.
OpenGL fixes that problem by cleaning up the API. That's what all the bitching was about last week when Khoronos announced the new specs. All the newbies were bitching about how certain extensions weren't moved to core, which doesn't matter in a practical sense anyway.
Yeah, but Java is an open source de facto standard from a very open source friendly company.
C#/.NET is the technological equivalent of a creepy, balding middle aged man in sunglasses driving around offering kids candy.

Yes, you have a point.

It used too.
Until 50 cent bought his way into the organization and official changed it to mean "Ahhh yeeeeaaaahh bitch!"
Yeah and we're still in Japan 60 years after WWII.
But we didn't annex parts of Japan then either.
LOL, you have probably the worst arguments I have ever seen in my life.
> Did Georgia invade and annex a neighboring country?
Like New York from the Native Americans?
> Did Georgia try to assassinate an ex-Russian leader?
Like the Hayreddin Pasha?
> Did Georgia have secret, illegal weapons programs?
Like the uncivilized guerilla tactics used against British columns in the American Revolution?
> Did Georgia have 12 years of UN resolutions telling it to shape up or else?
Like Canada? (seriously, look it up)
> Did Georgia have an un-elected despot leader?
So does China, when do we go there?
> Did Georgia systematically murder 1000's of its own citizens, even using chemical weapons?
According to the Russians, YES. Maybe the "chemicals" were simply glaring looks and hand signals, but who cares, they're still dead.
It's all a matter of perspective, mate.
Uhhh, the US didn't annex parts of Iraq and the invasion was over.
I don't think the word fascist means what you think it means.
LOL, how did this get modded flamebait?
I think a certain moderator doesn't know how insurance works...
You fail reading comprehension? That's unpossible!
"is destined for a single person to use in a home or office"
No, a Mac is a PC now.

In Soviet Russia, old jokes laugh at YOU!
If you would, please name the "gimped" usability items that you find most problematic.
Is it your unfamiliarity with it then?
It's GNU/Program Name, you insensitive clod!
Yes and imagine if id could have turned those pirate users into paid users!
They could have afforded to buy a Gulfstream IV instead of having to make sure with a measly Gulfstream III jet.
As a Michigan resident, I know that our government people can be bought for cheap nowadays.
If you have money, they'll do anything you want.

I hear they've hired Samuel L. Jackson to start as the main protagonist.
If that's true, the game just got a whole lot blacker, motherfucka!
That's completely wrong.

Uh, that's exactly what Wine's d3d implementation is.
What's that?
Wine Isn't aN Emulator?
No way!
More and more its beginning to seem more like the !phone.
Man o man, how many times I've thought to myself "How can I get rid the compressor that powers my refrigerator?" Oh technology, what can't you do?
