You got that all wrong, whipperschnapper. You would do well to visit C and see what you missed. I think you might just end up being pissed at your university for making C++ so much harder to learn by not teaching you C first. You have no idea how your "modern college curriculum" has deprived you from greater understanding of what is happening with the computer you are writing code for.
On another point altogether, IMO Obj-C kicks C++'s ass as an OO language. Granted, Obj-C does not do multiple inheritance, a feature once I discovered it was missing, I thought I would have a hard time doing without. The workarounds I have had to implement instead have actually resulted in a more logical and cleaner object structure overall. So it turns out this single shortcoming is actually more of a benefit.
Memory management in Obj-C is really simple, and making issue of it is an extreme exaggeration. You merely have to follow the rule of "if you allocate it, you're responsible for it", and make sure to either send it [obj autorelease] upon allocation or [obj release] in the [parent dealloc] routine. It really is that simple. Maybe that's too much to ask of the sissy programmers coming out of school these days.

You obviously have too much protein in your diet, and are thus unable to see the benefits of such a vegan hippie lifestyle.
Two hours research on various Windows Developer mailing lists will reveal all the answers needed to homebrew your own rootkit, if you have a little bit of savvy. My point is that concealing Windows' numerous design flaws in the hopes of obscuring the many ways to exploit them is not security. Besides, if you think Windows rootkit source isn't already being traded on IRC by many, you are truly naive.
Even the methodology used by the sysinternals dude, of analyzing the kernel call vector to find the rootkit (by locating addresses pointing outside of the kernel) is nowhere near bulletproof. We're coming up on the 5th inning of the apocalypse of Windows. Soon a Mac will look cheap when you compare it to the time consuming weekly reformat/reinstall cycles that lie just beyond the horizon.
According to Apple's most recent quarterly results portables are outselling desktops. This is the actual (non-drug induced) reason why we'll see Intel-based PowerBooks before we see Intel-based PowerMacs. And I'm pretty sure we'll see the PowerBooks before iBooks, but that's just a hunch.
Yeah, and nobody will ever see any sensitive information on your screen either. Here's a tip, try actually doing the job before you start critiquing it.
These music industry execs have no idea what Jobs' end game is. Neither do I actually, but here's what I think it is. Music company packs up their toys and goes home. Apple releases iMusicAgent, a variation on their existing software for uploading to iTMS. This version is freely downloadable, and anyone can upload their tracks, artwork, etc. Apple cuts the artist in for a straight 50%. Apple will hire talent scouts that will pick the cream of the crop. Such artists will be offered a deal for a lower cut, but still way better than any current record company offers, in exchange for Apple actively promoting them. They can give laggard artists a little taste of what may happen by prominently displaying their merchandise on iTMS for a day or two.
The artists make more money, Apple makes more money. The current music industry players start to lose their relevance. Cars start coming with an iPod interface as a factory installed options or freebie. Certain well-known acts will jump ship, face the lawsuits, rename themselves, etc. and come on board (think "The Artist formerly known as Prince"). Virtually all the young new acts will be attracted to the lower barriers to entry, as well as not having to sell their souls to the devil. By 2016, 50% of all new music worldwide will be sourced by Apple.
Jobs certainly has the stones to do this, and Apple has quite a nice cushion of cash to speculate with. Also don't forget before iTMS busted onto the scene, there were rumors circulating that Apple might purchase one of the record labels. Taking over one of the existing shops would be a good stepping stone toward creating a new music industry.
I for one welcome our new music industry overlord..
What this does is permit much earlier detection, and though IANAD, I imagine much less severe conventional or perhaps holistic cancer treatments will do the trick.
I agree in principle, although I propose an alternate punishment. They should be punched in the face many many times by a rather large fellow wearing the pets.com sock puppet on his fist.
I'm pretty sure you still have to push the top shell down to click the button inside. Have a look here. The capacitive sensors in the top simply indicate which finger(s) you used to click the button.
Think about it, if there is no button, and no tactile feedback as you (incorrectly) suggest, the simple act of resting your fingers on the mouse would generate clicks.
Funny, my customers have been demanding native OS clients to replace the web apps they're using because the web apps are way too slow, and cost them tons of money to operate.

I disagree completely. Just because my app uses WebCore (to fetch web images for invoices) does not mean that the majority of my app is WebCore.
Perhaps the poster meant he'd rather write his own class libraries than use .NET.

GPL source is not a gift.
You seem to have missed the point that they have also broken several state and federal statutes related to spyware and trespass.
Nice! Probably blows the doors off the TT for half the price and none of the "looks like ass". I'm waiting for the '06 R32 myself.
If anything, we'll see HP-Branded Macintels at similar prices to Apple ones.

This is precisely the sort of thing that never happens with Macs.

So, by your theory, our very own Slashdot has performed such theft, what, tens of thousands of times. Hardly anybody ever invites the /. effect.
If this is true, then Ballmer = Captain Ahab, Google = Very large whale.
Someone give this guy a wedgie. He remembers how to program in Pascal.

I highly doubt the trademark filed for the cartoon character includes the "Computer Hardware" category.
