  2. Re:Microsoft cross platform problem. on Microsoft's Surface RT Was Doomed From Day One · · Score: 1

    Zip functionality is in the core System namespace with .NET.

    Most apps don't require special native functionality.

    Can you imagine the media frenzy of Bill Gates returning to helm Microsoft?

    If it happens, I hope the theme is the imperial march.

    That said, it'd probably do wonders for Microsoft. Bill Gates is kind of a bastard but he gets shit done

  4. Re:Why not Windows Phone 8? on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because Tesla is supposedly becoming successful.

    If the iPhone is like Tesla, then the new Windows smartphones would be like a Yugo.

    Mylyn has TFS too, along with every other major project management system:

    Java's bytecode is compiled into native code at runtime (similar to how C++ is compiled).

    Technically Java's compilation is even fancier than a C++ toolchain because it can use runtime information to make better decisions that aren't feasible with an AOT toolchain (oh I see you mainly reference a certain virtual call -> devirtualize the call, etc).

    How's your reading comprehenion, chocho: "4. Then you try to debug your app and it runs out of Java heap space."

    FWIW I use Eclipse on Linux doesn't have that issue.

  11. Re:Out of the box on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 2

    Effective project management is pretty hard to implement properly (ask most developers).

    Eclipse's Mylyn integration goes a long way towards making that aspect easier.

    IntelliJ is definitely a great IDE as well.

    Check out the new Kepler release. Kepler was an iteration with a focus on improving the performance issues Juno had.

    Kepler is pretty nice UX wise.

  15. Re:Studio v. Eclipse on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 5, Informative

    Eclipse struggled a bit with the Eclipse 4 release but the new version Kepler is fantastic.

    Visual Studio is great if you're developing for Microsoft platforms.

    Fortunately, Microsoft platforms are growing less relevant by the day.

  16. Re:Simple business decision on Apple Renews Contract With Samsung Over A-Series Processors · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It must be really hard to be the Apple guy in this situation.

    You have to sit across from these people that have totally stolen your lunch and smile as you give them more business. Because you know if they decide to stop doing business with you, your other options are far, far worse.

  17. Re: Garbage Collection is not O(GC)=0 on Former Sun Mobile JIT Engineers Take On Mobile JavaScript/HTML Performance · · Score: 2

    Properly written Android apps are pretty snappy and they're written in Java.

    Granted they run on a different kind of virtual machine but overall it's still pretty similar to the Java runtime.

    What people don't know is that Ballmer is a secret Linux FOSS champion. In reality, he's actually Richard Stallman's secret half brother and together they're going to bring down the largest proprietary software company in the world.

    It is fairly dated with last news back in 2009. If some effort is taken to update it, wouldn't it be better to have your invention used in a greater variety of platforms to solve the two forth-mentioned problems?

    It's a shame Ballmer was talking out of his first choice of a marketing slogan:
