Real cool stuff alright. Unless you use linux and are happy and productive with vi, emacs, jedit, nedit and the like along with wxWidgets or Qt.
I would make the argument that a decently priced IDE and Language combination would sell a -lot- of copies. It would have to make you more effective than the open tools to justify the price you pay for it. But I think there's a sweet spot out there still for the $50 IDE.
All the people remembering Borland's language wars with Microsoft, and came up on the other side, should know that all of those tools were sold to Embarcadero some time ago. The Borland that we knew has already been gone for quite some time. Turbo C++, C++ Builder, Turbo Pascal, JBuilder, etc, all live on at Embarcadero. In fact, I think Embarcadero even got the Borland database...
For the record, 2/3 of all German casualties in WW2 were on the Eastern front. That is manpower, for artillery and tanks it's up to 4/5
Very true... I think it is only really in aircraft that German sustained more losses on the west...
Soviet soldiers did that, and Stalin, in fact, made a lot of blunders,
Tis true that the troops win the war, but the troops cannot win the war unless they are capably equipped, deployed and led. The Germans bungled in all three as the war the progressed whereas the Russians improved in all three.
Stalin relinquished control of his military mostly to Zhukov after his disastrous orders. He put into place capable production people. As much as a command economy would later fail the Russian people, a command economy saved them during World War II. The Russians produced more tanks, more artillery and more aircraft than the Germans, and not even by a narrow margin... but by a larger margin.
As far as casualties go, I would be willing to bet that the greatest proportion of Russian casualties took place in the earliest part of the war, while the reverse held true for the Germans. As the war progressed, Russians got better at keeping their guys alive, and the Germans got worse.
All of these improvements made by Russia suggest that, for a time at least, the Russian leadership and that means Stalin, was able to look at what was happening on the ground and respond to it realistically, whereas the Germans got increasingly worse at it.
Seems like you're taking (greatly) out of context the idea.
Not at all. The idea promotes the anti-virus software as a solution to malware. That is far from the only solution. By promoting a particular solution to a problem, you subsidize the industry that caters to that solution. Get it? So its free advertising for the A/V people.
Is not so much that somebody had made a copy of a file containing Presidential Helicopter blueprints, but, that, somehow, we found these blueprints on a server in Iran. Seems to me that we give as good as we get, at least on this one.
There's lots of cures for lots of diseases that worked well in animal models but failed in people. There was actually a rather bleak failure of a round of hopeful treatments / vaccines for HIV that did well in animal models but flamed out on human subjects. That is why the FDA goes slow.
If the dictator Joseph Stalin had not have killed a few million German soldiers and destroyed I think at least 20,000 tanks during the course of the Russio-German war, D-Day would have been awful tough for the United States and Great Britain. What sort of shape would the German army have been in without having endured the winter offensive on Moscow, the battles of Stalingrad and Kursk and then Operation Bagration.
But no matter which nuance-lacking, economy-wrecking, debt-racheting, foreign-policy bully, indifferent to the needy, fake cowboy you choose, they're the same fraking thing.
How is THAT not an ad-hominem attack? That's my point. You started it, can't even admit you did it, you lie like the rest of them.
Seriously... Blowing a couple of million bucks on the site, along with perhaps a reconstructed museum and tower, is honestly a good way to waste Federal money. There's a big war bill coming out of the House, and get the New York delegation to stuff some money in there for a national museum, and while we're at it, have the President declare it as a national heritage site.
There will be some dopes at the National Review that will bitch about it, but even hard righties like me love national parks and the story of American industrialization and research. It's a lot better than Woodstock. I'd plug it on my right wing site, for sure.
Come on libs, spend some money and save this place!
I would be more than willing to bet that the attacker works in some way for the State of Virginia. The phrasing "gone missing" makes him sound like he's from somewhere in the United Kingdom... so now you are looking for English, Irish, Scottish or perhaps Indian guys working for the state of Virginia...
A voice tempts - gee, if we could do FISA wiretaps, perhaps a quick search of all the electronic correspondence of all the people who work(ed) for the state might turn up who it is...
But no matter which nuance-lacking, economy-wrecking, debt-racheting, foreign-policy bully, indifferent to the needy, fake cowboy you choose, they're the same fraking thing.
Why are you left wingers so pathologically incapable of telling the truth about anything? You wonder why all your heros get assasinated by the right. Its because they deserve it because you are all mess of liars...
The best course to follow, in order to save lives, would have been to do nothing
That's ridiculous. If there are no police, and you walk down the street and I punch you and take your wallet, and you let me get away with it... what would happen if you were bringing your girlfriend along the next time.
You are talking about people, who, if they saw a "peace protest" like the 1960s, would not only be thinking how nice it was that all the targets packed themselves together, but, would do something about it.
So before you start blaming Clinton for everything, you might want to read up a bit on your history.
Everyone says Reagan was an idiot, but by my calculation he's the ONLY US President in 40 years to not completely screw up the middle east.
Reagan's foreign policy in the mideast was awesome. Reagan's dealings with the mideast were pretty simple. We want the Soviets out, ourselves in, we hated Iran and for that reason could forgive an awful lot about Iraq. The abortive US effort to act as peacekeepers in the Lebanese civil war did not help, but until any President since, Reagan took responsibility for making a pretty big mistake and got the troops out, and then shelled the bastards we had tried to save from the newly reactivated Iowa battleships for good measure.
When Liberals bring up Reagan being "Saddam's buddy", or that he talked to Iran, it was in the context of goading Iraq and Iran into a pretty big war with each other. Like, a giant World War I size war in the middle east. WE gave weapons to IRaq, but, we also gave Iran satellite photos to let them know where Iraqi attacks would be coming from. As a result of all this confusion, plus a good old shootdown and bombing of Libya (bonus for getting the French embassy!), all the OPEC countries started pumping like no tomorrow, the price of collapsed to nearly $10 a barrel. Life was -great-.
I'll talk more about Reagan in Afghanistan later on, but the important thing to keep in mind is that the Taliban were not the same people that Reagan supplied weapons to. Sure, they were all nutty, but they were killing Russians, and at the time, that was a good thing. A nice little payback for what the Russians did to us in Vietnam.
It was Reagan's supposedly "smart" VP that, upon assuming the office, started a chain of what now appears to be four presidents to botch the mideast.
Bush I - made huge mistake in opposing Saddam without getting rid of him. If you are not willing to finish a war, don't start one. Had the USA not intervened, its very likely that Saudi Arabia would land in Saddam's hands, but the USA could take that sort of a hit from a lost of mideast oil. Europe would fail, but, that's not really an American problem. It would later turn out that this "world view" did not buy America anything.
Clinton - could not really let Saddam off the hook for no-fly zones, but could not muster the political will to really get rid of him. Then, to make matters worse, to compensate for the awful mess the USA had made of Iraq, Clinton did everything he could to make nice to muslim nations. First put the USA on the muslim side of a second battle of Kosovo, then, even worse, he sat back and watched as the then President of Pakistan dropped hardcore islamic schools all over his country, and then did nothing when Afghanistan disintegrated into chaos as the graduates of those schools moved in (taliban), and then, watched while Pakistan got the bomb.
The problem is that the Taliban of today and the people that fought the Soviet Invasion are actually not the same. For the most part, the Taliban pulled a Mao and did enough to oppose the invasion for propaganda purposes but let others do the heavy fighting. After the Soviets left, they attacked everyone else. So its very likely that the people we were shipping stingers to in the 1980s are not the same people that are we fighting now.
And finally of course Clinton made the whole thing worse by foolishly validated Yasser Arafat (yes, I know most of thought it was a good idea at the time), AND, thus actually made the Palestinian cause something the other arab states really did have to worry about. And he didn't show any resolve when we left Somalia in disgrace. Pretty much, between looking the other way on Pakistan, letting Saddam hang around, begging muslims to love us, he made it pretty easy for radicals to argue that the USA did not "win" the Cold War and would topple shortly after Russia did.
Bush Jr. inherited quite a mess and tried to see his way out ideolo
I hope you are never the cop who pulls someone over in diabetic keto acidosis... Looks like a drunk, smells like a drunk, acts like a drunk... And if you just dump them in the drunk tank, they will die and you will be on trial.
What if the diabetic keto acidosis guy goes and kills someone. Do you really want that person on the road? If they are driving impaired, they are driving impaired, you know. Or should it be legal to hit people because they have diabetes.
I hate to see slashdoters ignoring the basic principles of our justice system just to pursue some prejudice against accused drunk drivers.
I think enough of us who are older have known people to be killed by drunk drivers and I honestly have no idea why drunk drivers are even allowed to live after they kill someone.
Drunk driving is not an accident. Killing someone DUI should be MURDER TWO.
There, that's my prejudice.
The bottom line is, if someone is getting pulled over for DUI, its because they were already obviously driving smashed. You can see them when you drive - weaving, going slow, forgot to put the headlights on, maybe stopping too soon or too often... and for what? Really, for what do people do this?
If the answer is no, then you understand. if you don't mind being tied to a vendor and at their mercy, then i guess the answer for you is that there is no benefit
Yeah, but open vendors are vendors too. That's the thing. Basically, what you are trying to do is suppress innovation for the sake of commoditization, and that's not a proposition that people want to make.
I don't support asian cloners at all. They are just a bunch of thieves with protectionist laws and a disdain for IP on their end exploiting our own free trade and respect for IP on ours. We shouldn't be trading with these people. If we are to take up a collection for anything, it should be for u-boats to sink containerships as they sail towards America.
If IBM had chosen the 68000 for its PC project, things may have turned out very, very differently.
Yeah, it would have and it could have. But then, it would have undermined what could have been achieved with the Amiga, ST and Mac....
The reason I gave the 386 the plug was I felt the memory management and hardware paging were more central to having a multiuser OS than more registers... Amiga was cool but I've had enough GURU MEDITATION ERRORS for one lifetime. The system was just not stable.

I'm curious where you think the CO2 released in brush fires comes from.
Yeah, the most carbon neutral thing google could do with that land would be to burn it.
I wiped. I flushed. I said I would wash down a bunch of burritos with Genny Screamers again.
Aside from being an awesome arch, Sparc is an open standard.
Yes, but you could make the case that AMD64 and POWER are both better.
So go kill the drunks that killed your friends. Be the vigilante.
Eventually this country will come to that.
Or allow that due process of law should trump personal feelings in these matters.
Politicians have made such a mockery of the law that personal feelings towards it should be one of either laughter or contempt.
