OOP debunking seems like a great waste of time itself. Better write your stories in C and publish them to GCC.
There is such technology already ? Then why aren't we using it ? I think because it's only theoretical.
The article even mentions they aren't sure how to reuse the rockets.. that seems like a key issue for the economy of the project.
As far as the global economy goes.. 26K it's only a translation, they were talking about Yen, and in any case I don't think that value includes economy prediction for year 2016.
It's an insult to the original Gundam. It's so ugly.. this is not the kind anime that people in Italy and Japan (and somewhere else too I hope) of my generation grew up with.
Forget all this new bullshit.. try to look into the old Gundam (RX-78) and anything from Akira Toriyama before Dragonball, Rumiko Takahashi and Go Nagai the king of the megarobots.
Aibo, P3, Asimo etc are the also the fruit of passion for robots brought around by manga artists.
It makes cool to say C++ because one doesn't sound like a bigot (to the eyes of those newbies 8). But from your answer it doesn't seem like you were trying to be cool.
Cool !
How's my post not in English ?
If you feel the need to answer with an explanation then I suppose that somehow you understood my broken (?) English.
Anyhow, thanks for your opinion, Mr.... ?
I know it makes "cool" talk smack of famous people. But it's a bit exaggerate to call someone moron so promptly.
BTW I know it's also "cool" to say C++ but your code is simply "dirty 'C'".
Doesn't take a genius to understand that AltaVista email service was flawed. How hard can it be for them to just copycat Hotmail or Yahoo ?
I think AltaVista is doing the big mistake of not really following users' needs. As far as I know nobody liked the look change happened a few months ago. Why don't they just ask to the users ??!
Not plain wrong, just sligtly wrong direction. The OS community bashes MS Wwndows so hard and then finds itself copying it. Windows also grabbed many ideas from other places. But by supporting alpha blending (and many other things such as integrated web browser) it seems to me that KDE no longer copies form the same sources where MS copied, but rather copies from MS directly. Anyhow I didn't intend to flame.. all my appreciation to KDE as a technical achievement.
Hey that closing phrase was a bit rude.
I didn't say we shouldn't give credit to MS. I'm just saying that I don't believe in following each step MS does. I mean alpha blending now.. that sure isn't the "steering wheel" of the GUI business. I say it's good to give them credit and to copy the nice stuff.. but when one starts copying every little feature it seems more like a technical challenge than a UI improvement.
Not really complaining since I don't even use KDE, just making my point.
It may sound easy but grammar is very complex. Don't confuse "easy to listen" with "easy to speak". Various complexities make it nearly impossible for most popoulation to speak 100% clean and proper Italian. Actually most people speak some sort of dialect and which isn't so easy to get rid of. I'm not an expert in languages but I can tell that those that learn Italian as a second language tend to give up on following the proper grammar. While being understood, the accent won't be the major problem.
I think that with Italian it's easy to get going, but as one tries to refine the language the objective becomes much more difficult.
The reason why schools around the world teach English, French, German and Spanish is that, sure they are languages that are practical to use, but they are also relatively affordable to learn. I've had this kind of debate with some Spanish speaking friends of mine and so far my Spanish seems to come out easier than their Italian.
Nice feature from Win2K.. really must have....really must copy Windows all the time ? Just after FVWM2 most window managers started copying Win95 GUI (sure nothing original but they way it's assembled and they way it generally looks can be granted to the MS R&D).
I still think it's kind of sad that whether it's a design feature or just a looks feature we are still after MS.
I'm not saying that I agree that my telephone conversations can be recorded, but if they're just going to be archived to tape then it doesn't bother me extremely. Hell, I would think that they are just as likely to protect me as they might incriminate me.
Just make sure you never say the wrong thing or you never say something too private and that none of your possible enemies are good system hackers 8)
Maybe someday you post something on Slashdot that someone doesn't like and the MP3 of your "best" phone conversations are all over the net..
I'd be paranoid.
Why being a scientist while a bunch of doctors could come handy ? Wazzup with that relativity theory, does it save human lives ?
The answer is in geometry and its two well known kind of angles: obtuse and acute.
I speak Italian and I know only a few words of Latin and Greek but when I listen to Spanish I think: OK, I can guess the meaning but that word sounds out of place. That's because Italian is more logically tied to Latin an Greek than Spanish. Spanish sounds like an evolution from Italian but with true meaning of the words lost in the way. With English it's suprisingly similar.. many times I can do right guesses of unsuspected but somewhat documented meanings of some words.
Every language morphs.. before was because of lack of communication means (no scools, no radio, no tv), now it's because of worldwide media (Internet). Preserve the culture but don't be afraid to improve the language.
English is taught but not practiced and spoken English is a different issue.
True, as an Italian you don't see many opportunities but foreigners (especially English speaking ones) can find more opportunities.
In regard to obtaining work permit.. you live in Canada not in USA. I can assure you that it's so much harder to work in USA than in Italy. In Italy everone can enter and start working legally somehow.. it's a breeze compared to USA.
Italian language is not easy at all, I know an American guy that speaks excellent Italian but he's a rare case. I definitely expect learning Italian to be harder than learning French for someone that already speaks English.
On the issue on were to go.. I'd be careful with France. Unlike Italy, in France you won't feel special in a positive sense or even welcome for that matter. If you go to Japan instead you'll feel special and welcome but you'll never be one of them, Japanese society is a very sensitive one and little details will always reveal your true culture. In Italy, Americans tend to be more welcome going south but decent IT business pretty much stops in Rome.
My suggestion is to try Italy.. with the right employer and the ability to speak English fluently one can still stand out of the sad economy.
English speaking people are more valued in Italy and Japan than France or Germany.
It gets pretty heavy towards the end.. I enjoyed more the manga. The non-Japanese version was also all colored. The animation is great and I think surpasses Ghost in the Shell in that department.
It's probably among the last of good anime.. (I guess I'm becoming a bigot). Turn A Gundam, Gundam Wings, Tenchi something.. what's all that stuff ?! Grendizer, Mazinger, Hokuto no Ken (Japanese soundtrack), Dr.Slump, Gundam RX-78.. those were anime ! ...ahh the old times !

Yeah, well GeForce and Athlon 600 are pretty common nowdays. The problem is that PC games must sell to many people.. which means forget geforce and aim low.. aim to voodoo3 with p3 500. Also because of different hw, pc end up crippled by sad drivers and sad api (d3d). It will always be the same thing: PC HW is too diverse. Publishers want to sell many copies, developers must accept that but they don't really care/have time to optimize the code for every platform (PC = many platforms). Result: you need 2 times the recomended CPU speed, memory and fillrate because the code isn't optimized.
You may say that games have different level of details, but toggling on the sky texture isn't really a feature..
The sad truth is that PC HW is just too complex. It's a compatibility nightmare and nobody wants to truly use the current HW at its real capabilites because it would require why too much custom code. PC raw power superiority is wasted in all the sublayers needed to keep some decent compatibility together.
PC game programming is a lot more like application programming.. HW performance doesn't really matter cause "the users will upgrade". PS2 will get eventually behind PC HW (2GHz CPU + NV40) and then consoles will catch up again. The bottom line is: with consoles you can use HW at its fullest.
I don't understand all this stuff. I'm just a poor coder. What is all this legal stuff ? I go to a page and instead of a piece of C I find some contract kind of thing.
Are we coders or lawyers ?

A few years ago everyone was trying to make OSes and commercial 3D engines. Now everyone is trying to make 3D GUIs.
Good luck !
P.S. Stuffing a page with 1.8M worth of pictures isn't a good start for the users.
..bugs or "issues" as MS calls them are probably their most creative work and there is an abundance of it. Let them be jealous of their art pieces.
If this is true, then it's really sad to see that throught law they manage to enforce censorship.
