Right, because iPhone/Android games are really comparable to PSP or Vita ones. And a touchscreen is better than an actual keypad or a joystick too I suppose.
Good practices for websites and applications are to not check the version of the browser you're using, or even its name. The only thing that could be relevant is the engine used under the hood (which version doesn't keep jumping, even with Chrome or Firefox). And even then, you shouldn't need that at all.
There is no need for numbers. Performance depends on today's architectures mostly depends on cache friendliness, and Java does not allow object layouts that are cache friendly.
This is ridiculous and irrelevant to PyPy's performance. This only measures the performance of a built-in function. And PyPy is only faster because it inlines sprintf. Which you can also do in C; it's simply not done by default because it's not a good idea.
Got any numbers to back that up, or are you just pulling it out of thin air?
Java doesn't allow efficient memory layout of objects, and therefore cannot be as efficient as C++. The only way to write code with good performance in Java is to call primitives written in C or C++ that do significantly more work than what you're doing in Java manipulating those primitives.
Statically compiling a subset would yield much better results, but would be significantly harder to do.
They took the easy way out; this is not a compiler any more than the reference implementation is. It's just a replacement for the reference implementation that sucks a bit less in terms of performance.
I don't know of anyone that had a part-time job throughout the year before college level (and then again, those were fairly poor people). Then again in my country school is free and compulsory, and university is free as well.
People in the know usually use Linux, but you'd be surprised to see how many still choose to use Windows. Some weird people also use Mac OS X as well. These I will never understand.
Eye-candy gets in the way. The XP theme in particular for some things to be bigger or to have rounded corners. This is clearly a non-optimal use of screen space. A computer is a tool to get work done. The UI should be functional, and not waste any of the computer resources needlessly.
Doesn't everyone run in classic?

I thought everyone that knew about computers and used windows already ran it in classic mode. It's the obvious thing to do. It was especially obvious in Windows XP where the main theme looked like an amusement park for disabled kids.
If traffic lights worked properly in the first place, people wouldn't be running them.
Why is the light red when no one is going the other way? Why does it only stay green for a few seconds, generating a huge queue of cars stuck at the light? Why is the next light red even though the previous one just turned green, forcing me to stop and start again every 200 yards, making traffic worse and increasing fuel consumption? Traffic lights should be made traffic-aware and self-adaptative. The current system is not optimal at all, nor is it even fair, it's merely an annoyance.
It appears as well that the duration of the orange light is not the same everywhere. Supposedly some cities reduce it illegally so that they can get more money from people running red lights.
You do realize the only reason the UK are doing fine today is because they took a lot of EU money a couple of years ago when they were in a crisis and the rest of Europe was not? There are 27 countries. Not everyone can benefit from it at the same time. The EU exists to regularize things between member countries, so that they can balance each other out. Sometimes a country is at the bottom of the balance, sometimes at the top.
The reason why it costs so much must be because they plan on inventing and creating the technology as well. Why not re-use a proven design? Oh noes, they're either French or Japanese!
Greens are against urbanism, therefore they won't get my vote. How you can be against urbanism and pro-technology at the same time, I have no idea.
What we need is a party that wants to put technology and research at the center of our society, not one with reactionary ideas about being in symbiosis with nature.

If the doctor prescribed more than your body can handle, then the problem is with the doctor, not the drug.
How can you accidently take more than the prescribed amount?
Can't decipher the doctor handwriting?

Is this one of those "compilers" that merely embed your files into a PHP interpreter?

That's nothing compared to the amount of russian cosmonauts who died, or probably also the unknown amount of chinese ones.

Ironically enough, this is much more plausible than religion.

What's not to like in such poetry?
It doesn't matter how many you multiply 0 by, n times 0 is still 0.
(Both 4th graders and 10th graders don't earn anything. Quite the contrary, they sometimes pay for studies)
I don't think any school before the college level does any real math, i.e. proving things within a formal system.
So yeah, I'm necessarily better than them at it, since they don't even know what it is.

Magic usually involves tapping directly into the lifeforce of the planet.
Whenever attemps to use it for the industry are made, the planet dies out.
You watch TV shows too much if you want that kind of woman for a wife.

My SSE code converted to AVX runs two times faster (not all of it though -- certain instructions do run in two cycles)
