Actually I'm looking forward to re-learning C++ after GCC et. al. are updated and the spec is finalized. They've added a great deal to the standard libraries, the syntax, and the collections/containers since I last worked with C++. I've no need for C++ -- it's just something I want to do for fun.
Have at it. If I have to use C++ I'll stick to LLVM/Clang/LLDB/Libc++
How will students learn the proper techniques to program for major OSes and platforms like Macs, iPhones (Objective-C), Android devices (Java), Microsoft's C#, Python, Perl, C++, and the dozens of OOP languages?
After graduating in Mechanical Engineering I went into CS for a second degree. We learned C from day one in the mid-90s. Then we learned C++ and of course applied C or were offered to apply Fortran to Numerical Analysis and to see the varying differences. Unfortunately, we had no Objective-C. Had to learn that at NeXT. I agree that learning Java, C#, C++ are all bad decisions as part of one's first year in CS. Brian Cox was a wise man for chosing Object-ve-C as an OO version of C, not a better C with OO ala C++. With the emergence of C99 and soon C1x Apple has positioned themselves well with OpenCL and Objective-C with LLVM/Clang. At any rate, there is plenty of time for a CS major to learn OO. Applying theoretical mathematics with computation is far more valuable than becoming completely confused by a professor who doesn't know OOA/D, and a waste of money. They are better off learning that on their own.
There is NO way Apple has the patents to make a phone from scratch. If this judge has an iPhone, how likely is he to rule in Nokia's favour, even if Nokia's patent claims are correct? Who has more marketing support?
It's a popularity contest. Even a "professional" like a laywer or a judge is a layperson as far as computers are concerned. It's like trying to tell people Facebook is bad.
Apple has accumulated > 3,000 patents of which 90% are related to iOS and iPhone/iPad/iPod hardware. You're not being very bright making lame ass comments. Apple was designing the idea for the iPhone [phone technologies] at around 1999, in-house. I guess you had to have been there.
The real problem is that people want sprawling houses, and are not comfortable living in smaller places.
And how is that a problem?
Ah, because governments don't want people getting what they want, they want to force the proles to live in Stalinist apartment blocks while only the Polibureau get houses in the country.
Don't be a fool. San Francisco is 49 square miles. You aren't seeing people screaming they don't have their 4 acre plots. Most homes are.25-.5acre plots in cities > 200,000 residences. Put down your Red Neck Mantra for 5 minutes. You don't build a highly dense meta-urban city in a city that will never be > 200,000 residences. That would be retarded.
No it's not more expensive. Having lived in San Fran, you're smoking high if you think it's cheaper. Having spent plenty of time in Vancouver they don't touch the cost of DC, Boston or Chicago. Don't include a suburb 20 miles outside of Chicago and call it Chicago.
There are no 180 story buildings. Don't be absurd. You rebuild Felony Flats [Every mid-size to metro area has them] with this vision. You slowly consolidate zones and recycle buildings that don't make sense, like 60 30+ story buildings where 1/3rd are even occupied. You make it a 30 year strategy.
Sure, but you have to tear everything down first. Put people out of their homes, businesses out of business. Essentially, you're asking for OCP to come in and tear down Cadillac Heights to build you Delta City. I saw that movie, it sucked.
Like hell you do. Quite a number of large metropolitan areas have seen 35-40% vacancy of existing downtown office space. If you've ever been to Vancouver, B.C., they didn't tear down their city just to rebuild it. Detroit has lost 25% of it's residences and hundreds of buildings are abandoned. What you don't do is forget to build the Rail infrastructure to get between the cities, then the LightRails around the city and finally the Trollies within the city zones.
So, you're a Porn addict, with Right-Wing-Bigoted views who happens to be Jewish? Keep the hyperbole to a level above a 2 year old mentality, umkayy? And if you're not Jewish how did you manage to do from Porn which every loves but very few people look good nude, to Fundamentalists, then to Jews? I wager, if you take away the Right-Wing Bigots the Jews, Porn lovers and yourself will see life go much smoother, unless of course you embrace bigotry.
I never met superior foreign engineering students in my M.E. degree. Not one. I met a lot of talent from across the globe but the class leaders weren't from China, India, Pakistan, Korea, etc. They actually were most often from students who had a parent that was already an engineer and thus they had a huge head start on the rest of the class, whether in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, Machine Design, etc. Most of those students were Americans because their parent worked at Boeing, Northrup, Lockhead, etc. Ultimately, the talent was spread out and the top students tended to team together to ensure they were the class leaders, regardless of cultural differences.
More accurately, GTK 3.2 will let you take a GTK program running/outside/ the browser and, assuming it does not use anything X11-specific, forward drawing as gzipped data: URIs to your browser which then assembles things in a element. It's basically a poor reimplementation of a VNC that only works in GTK. Significantly more interesting would be a GTK that draws with PPAPI and runs in NaCl, which would allow you to develop a web app using GTK, deploy it on the web, and run it (safely) within your browser.
Two thumbs up for being knowledgeable on the subject.
Ian's the Secretary for the Specification. He's the mediator. The people in charge are the corporations implementing the specification. The spec will be done by 2014. This 2022 is absurd.

Ok. Going off of the description http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/4/3/5/0/2/p435027_index.html TFA and the summary are somewhat inaccurate. He wasn't calculating the speed of different methods. Rather, he took two well known methods of approximating a square root, both of which when starting with a rational number give you a sequence of rational numbers which converge to the square root, and he gave a close to complete description of when the two sequences share infinitely many terms. This doesn't have any obvious algorithm application but it is very nice number theory.
Basically, day one in Numerical Analysis at the University level.
I agree, with larger storage media and faster networks we should be demanding better than MP3 or AAC audio.
FLAC? CD QUALITY?!?! Why not linear PCM audio at 24-bit/96kHz? A good number of digital studio masters are in 24/96. Most modern sound cards are quite capable of supporting that resolution, so why not go for the gold?
Seriously folks. CD quality is just barely passable as it is, and don't get me started on *ANY* compression codecs, so why would I demand something that is already suboptimal? I'd rather make them give me analog masters (1" tape or LP) than anything short of the resolution it was recorded in.
It seems Classical Music and a select few artists have offered such quality printings ever since 24/96 first came out in the mid-90s. It's truly sad.
CD's don't last forever, the plastic degrades and the metal oxidizes, and that's assuming proper storage. As a matter of fact, nothing digital will likely outlive you. Digital information appears to follow an inverse moors law, half of all digital info will be lost every 2 years. One of the tragedies of the modern age is all our culture and history will be lost, not passed down for future generations.
They'll outlive the HDD. My CDs from 1987 are running just fine. I don't own a single HDD from 1987. They died long ago.
The same notification behavior has spread across KDE. It's nauseating feedback that is mainly useless dribble. A notification for a service that is failing is useful, but a notification that I've deleted 500 files after deleting 500 files is pure mental masturbation. I'm looking forward to GNOME Shell.

Lets see how many people try to disprove your observation of Heat Dissipation and Energy Transfer.

He is also from Boston and likes to drink beer and get into fights with his friends. The boy is "wicked smart".
Unfortunately, he was all outta dem Apples.
You get all that (except maybe tech support) for $0 with Ubuntu.
I needed a good laugh. Thanks.
