  1. Re:Word on The IDE As a Bad Programming Language Enabler · · Score: 1

    This would eliminate the expense of calling the getCount n times and limit the scope of your loop control variable to the loop itself. The concept is the same in C#.

    for (int j = 0, n = getCount(); j < n; j++) { ...
    }

    While I agree with your sentiment and applaud your zeal, the phrase "Of the People, By the People, For the People" comes from the Gettysburg Address that was three score and sixteen years after the Constitution.

    Saturn did not die because they abandoned their cash cow. Saturn is dead because the US government took over GM to prevent bankruptcy, which would have hurt the UAW greatly. Once in control, the government overseers jettisons several car lines. Saturn, with its most popular car line made in a right-to-work state (TN), was closed down.

    > I'm not buying crappy lights.

    That's good. Because I cannot believe you would light your house with these.

  7. Re:Isn't it time for something new? on Paramount Casts New James T. Kirk · · Score: 1

    Because Peter Jackson is not a fan?

  8. Re:Have they fixed the startup time? on Sun Debuts JavaFX As Alternative To AJAX · · Score: 1

    Why is parent flamebait? Probably for this line:

    "Go run along and play; the adults have work to do."

    You can make a point without insulting people. In fact, it tends to work a lot better. Ooh, it looks like somebody needs a nap!

    Remember that "tea" comes with ice and sugar. Leon is sometimes optional, depending on the establishment If you want it without sugar, you will need to specify unsweetened (but what's the point of tea without sugar?). If you want it hot, you haven't been here (in the Deep South) long.

    As for grits, you need to "doctor" them. Please see Lewis Grizzard's Grits Billy Bob recipe for details. It can also double as a tire patch.

    5th. Kudzu was brought in from Japan to prevent erosion. The plant is now overruning the American Southeast and covers 20,000-30,000 sq. km.

  11. Music, Playlists, & Social Networking on Personality Secrets in Your MP3 Player · · Score: 1
    Albeit a pedestrian study, does it not ring true to everyone? Those with whom you share interests are those with whom you have more connectivity. Think about it.

    I found a website based on this very idea, social networking where playlists point you to people with similar interests. Check out http://www.playlistplay.com/.

  12. Re:Long term strategy. on Zune Sales Continue to Weaken · · Score: 1

    Both IE and DirectX were software examples. Either can be upgraded later with a pathc or new release.

    Being hardware, do you propose that MS send everyone a new Zune with each advancing version?

    In response, Germany and Japan both came out to fight. The small handful of terrorists are in hiding.

    Consider, vertinox, if you and I had a disagreement, and we were going to come to blows. Then, I show up on the street in front of your residence and you come out to meet me. Our fight should not take very long.

    Now in contrast, consider that you have threatened my life and go into hiding in . Finding you will will take much longer.

  15. Re:Nothing new under the sun on In These Games, the Points Are All Political · · Score: 1

    Much of the fun of historical war games is what might have been. I want to march into Rome with a thousand elephants. I want to lead the Golden Horde to Paris. I want to hang Washington for treason. I want to land Spanish troops in England and dethrone the heretic queen.

    I totally agree. In an old game, D-Day, I played as the Germans and launched a counter-landing in England. Only had the resources to land one armor unit and took London in a surprise attack. Did that on June 29th. At the end of each month (June 30), the game cycled through to calculate new resource points, etc. It crashed.
