1. Because you cant write an operating system in java or c# 2. Because Java eats memory at breakfast 3. Because Java GUI's are damn slow 4. Because C++ is open 6. Because you dont have low-level control in Java 7. Because C++ binaries are smaller than a java vm or the c# runtime 8. Because c++ runs everywhere (though not with the same binaries/code)
... or the fact that our (American) society expects people under the age of consent not to be having sex. We aren't trying to be prudes or whatever warped reality you think we have, it's the level of society we've built for ourselves. In America, we all agree that girls and boys that are 15 years old should not be having sex, rather they should be having a full childhood. Once they mature as contributing members of society, then they inherit the freedom to be with who they want to be with (granted it's not with an underage individual, of course). Americans, both as children and adults see 15 year old girls and boys as children that go to school, participate in extracurricular activities and play sports, not exploring their sexual potential. When one particular American sees the latter, we punish those people and very few people (outside of NAMBLA and related organizations) disagree.
If you really believe kids arent having sex before the age of consent either you didnt go through school or you are old enough to have forgotten it.
Believe me. You cant control what your teenager kid does when you're working.
You have to do your best at educating them and then simply trust them. Stop being anal-retentive.

Most modern distributions ship a decently configured zsh. In my case, an apt-get install zsh gives me a shell with a lot of tab completions (plenty more than bash), a pager as good as bash's (if not better), and so on...
And for your information, bash also has a lot of configuration commands in the initialization scripts. AFAIK it doesnt do any magic "on its own".

Anybody with a PIN number goes to an ATM machine.
Some of them have LCD Displays
Yeah, running over RDBM databases.
Soon we'll have computers inside our brains so we'll be able to browse the web AND play solitare at the same time, all while pretending to work.
Keyboards will have more multimedia keys instead of Alt and Tab.
Perl's OO implementation is just a huge chaotic hack.
MFCs and wxWidgets way of event handling are ugly C macro dispatch tables, afaik...
;)
For wxWidgets check the Connect method
Nope. I mean more people are taught Java and work with it than with C++. Java works well as the new Cobol but C++ does not work well as the new C.
So how can C++ and Java be battling and C++ be losing, if they are not related?
They're battling for semi-finals or what?
if the universities have moved on, the industry won't be far behind.
Yeah, soon there will be operating systems written in Java, because nobody will know C/C++.
That's possible, right?
1. Because you cant write an operating system in java or c#
2. Because Java eats memory at breakfast
3. Because Java GUI's are damn slow
4. Because C++ is open
6. Because you dont have low-level control in Java
7. Because C++ binaries are smaller than a java vm or the c# runtime
8. Because c++ runs everywhere (though not with the same binaries/code)
Today the battle is between Java and C++ and Java wins.
You mean operating systems will be written in Java from now on?
Wow!
People running computers running universes with people running computers running universes...
This looks like those nested vmware sessions
Wait until my brother knows i'm using his slashdot login to karma whore on identity theft. :)
All your grammar are belong to us!
Just like the rocky planet discovered earlier
You mean Rocky isn't from this planet?
That explains a lot.
How come I never though of that?

I've been ripping to MP3 since my Amiga days. ;)
You must be a die-hard amiga zealot. MP3 came up long after the amiga was gone.

However, trying to imagine what might turn on a silicon based amoeboid lifeform with communal intelligence is a real mind bender.
Japanese porn.

By the way, does anybody know of any good lib that allows to read text from PDF files?
I've been trying to scratch that itch on my linux desktop for a while... Maybe it's about time.
So much for the three laws of robotics.
Three? What happened to directive 4?
