C++ is WAY MORE ineffcient than C, you should be writing all your apps in C, with inline assembler where there are bottle necks. My guess is you are not that obsessed with efficiency.
BTW there is a nice HashTable class in Java, so if you use that instead of a hand written bubble sort, you should save time and speed things up. Its one of the collections classes.
90% of java's usage, in the real world, is for server side work. Servlets, JSP, server side apps that use CORBA, RMI, UDP or other protocols to do a variety backend specific chores. Not to mention app servers like Weblogics (100% java) or ecommerce packages like Blue Martini (100% java) there are others, those come to mind because I've used them.
All server side, the nice thing about these packages is that most of them allow you to use either Solaris, NT or Linux , or all three for servers and as long as there's a 1.2 JVM they don't care. Well BM right now is supposedly working on a Linux port.
but NOT TO BE TO STAND IN THE WAY OF DANGER AND NOT ALLOWED TO DEFEND YOURSELF. Clinton's record regarding troop deployments is dismal (ethiopia??) and Gore doesn't seem to be any better.
You were blown out by NU and Arkansas, geez, -27 yards of rushing ring a bell?? UT did'nt score and offensive touch down in the last 10 quarters of thier season!!!! You guys don't even rule arkansas, let alone college football.......ROFLMAO...........
You are comparing apples to airplanes. what he's saying is that if you eat a kilogram of butter and it doesn't kill you, then another 100 miligrams of butter won't either. His claim is that we put out the same kinda of pollution that the earth does. Except I don't buy it. We humans generate PCBs, and all kinds of nasty stuff that no amout of thunder storms or volcanos will EVER make. No volcano will produce the kind of toxins as waste products that modern man does with his factories.
The apostle Paul comes back and want's a web site, could he claim prior rights..... After all he wrote the book WAY....... before the soccer club had the name..... BTW is just me or is that a really lame name for a sports team? Whats next? The new Houston NFL francise will be the Houston Acts,,,, or the Houston Mathew-Mark-Luke-John.......
For a supposed learned intellectual, his basic assumption is flawed. 1) yes Stars exist with out telescopes 2) the net does NOT exist without computers an appropriate analogy would be that the astronomy would not exist with hydrogen and helium ( Building blocks of stars) the net would not exist without computers PERIOD.... hence the study of the net will always be linked to hardware, just as the study of astronomy is ALWAYS linked to the study of particle physics (the two are not inseperable, but they are dependent).

Last I checked the Apple released the Mac in 1984, Years ahead of windows 3.0 ( the first usable version). The Lisa a year or two before that. And guess what, your lord and savior bill gates had nothing to with that. Artsy types at the college library were using macs to do word processing and graphics in 1985-86. I'm not a huge mac fan either but, this crap that MS brought GUI to the masses is just not true. Oh yeah, Macs also had the first build in networking was well. Point is The computer industry was rolling along quite well with MS as part Player. Name me great Innovations MS brought to computing?? We know they were'nt the first in the Gui dept. What about Browsers, no not there, Network OS (Novell was doing that in the 80's), Development tools ( a bastardized version of C++, and Visual basic everywhere....... NOT), ahh Ahh. There's nothing, they've built their empire from defato standards, and squashing anyone they deemed a threat. When you break the law, and continually do it, after a couple of warnings, you get nailed. They have no one to blame but themselves....
What the difference between a 'marketing-based' choice and a lie??? Maybe netscape made a 'Marketing-based' choice as well?? I don't think Zico knows squat
patent the phrase 'I did not have sex with that woman.....' and spend the rest of my life suing politicans who use in public. sheesh, Somebody better make sure the internal combustion engine is already patented, Amazon may go after that next, because thier cars have'em and thats how they get to work.... Maybe all this nonsense will finally prompt the gov't to get it's act together with regards to patents and copyrights.
What ?? I thought Linux for x86 was by definition an x86 binary?? Just as Linux for PowerPC chip is by defintion an PPC Binary and so on. Do you mean windows apps? Thats different, the Crusoe can emulate an x86 instruction and therefore run windows, Linux, SCO unix or any other x86 program provided the proper device drivers are available. And actually, from what I understand a TM3120 runs at about 1 watt, which less than the mips chip in my CE device (3 watts). THE CRUSOE IS NOT AN X86 CLONE.
Great non-issue, some third party software blocks out who knows what other sites, all in the name of protecting the innocent from porn. Maybe that other site was Campus Crusade or some other site blocked by accident or design. It cuts both ways and I it unacceptable.. SLICK
This all sounds hauntingly familar. when I was in college some 15 - 19 years ago it was almost exactly the same. In the freshmen level classes about 33 % were women, by the time I was in sr software engineering we had one female out of 30 students. I have now worked for 5 or 6 employers, at only one were there a substantial minority of women developers. at Cendant IT we had about 4 women developers out of 18 thats still very low. At Cendant they were actually trying to hire women so usually they had to hire MIS majors that were women. Now I'm at a startup that specializes in web development, e-commerce and anything java, on a floor with 50 developers, 3 are women. Now a majority of the management/customer account rep types are women. This is long and winding, but the trend I see is that by and large, for what ever reason, women do'nt seem to be interested in computer science. But think about this how many women do see working as auto mechanics? ** Rember when you are things of giant heads there IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THE BIG-GIANT-HEAD

Capitalists = sith lords Geeks = Jedi
since the mid to late 70's. If anyone owns a patent on it, it would be them.
Lets see we stole it from the mexicans, who kicked out the spanish who stole it from the indians........ So that makes us americans so wrong........
