manual memory management, obfuscated syntax, to many ways to shoot yourself in the foot.
Good arguments against Java
performance is bad, requires a JRE to be installed to run, which can be a pain. Can be hard to do simple things (eg all primitives are signed)
Good arguments for C++ good performance, as good as you can get. Many platforms have compilers for it. Open and well known. Lots of preexisting libraries for it.
Good arguments for Java I'm going totake some liberty and assume by java you meant he language and the JVM together. (no c++ equivlent) Compile once, run anyway (via shell scripts or similiar mechanisms) compile on windows, run on z/OS.. cannot say that about much (anything? else). Vast library, no memory management, very clean language that's simple to understand and adapt. Easy to plug 3rd party libraries in and use.
How good is each one in terms of: * Purely Object Oriented Java very good, almost pure OO language. C++ not pure at all
* Multi-threaded java this is as simple as i've seen C++ a pain and somewhat platform dependant
* Dynamic I'm not sure what you mean by this really.
* Portablity Java wins in that you compile once, run many places C++ wins in that the same code can be compiled virtually anywhere
* Robust Java provides mechanisms that make the code much more robust C++ wins in that it's more deterministic, no relying on wierd VM things
* Secure I don't think i'm experienced enough to really comment on this one
* High Performance I'm no thte biggest of fans of the idea that java is slow because it runs on a VM. For most apps, this difference is trivial. For some apps, such as games, this difference is critical.
Overall, I'm a big fan of java and the idea of byte code that runs on a VM, as opposed to native code that runs directly. That said, there are areas where you ahve to use native code (eg: making system calls) or it's better to use native code (games). I think C and java will outlast C++ though.
OK, I would consider myself a decently 'informed' gamer and all. ANd this is news to me. Not that i'm terribly shocked that the mario 2 we got, wasn't really mario 2.. but that there was a mario 2 we've not seen. like all those FF games.
No, they absolutely were not in any way. This country was the most radical experiment in history to that point. Compared to today's society, some of some of their attitudes might be shoehornable into that mold, but for the most part what they tried very hard to do was to eliminate what today is called "conservatism". That's pretty much the entire point of the enlightenment.
first google result for convervative = resistant to change;
guess what? many of the thigns did not change, we still had a government, and such. were things different? absolutly, was a lot the same? absolutly.
Bush has, in fact, been shown to have done that repeatedly on a massive scale. The fact that the media and the total hypocrites who claim to support moral values have not responded with outrage at it doesn't change the simple fact that his administration has been proven to have doctored evidence, lied, manipulated, and attempted to force scientists to lie about results.
The official charge against Clinton was the lie. The reality is the blowjob itself is what was sold to the extremist base as justification for it.
OK then, please show me where bush has intentltionly lied, cite a few half way decent sites.
I disagree with the President using a massive calculated disinformation campaign to sell a pre planned war to the American people.
once again, british and other said they had WMDs or are you saying something else.
The rape of the FOIA, the patriot act, support for the gay hatred amendment, torture, illegal wiretaps on American citizens.
The list goes on and on. Are you seriously that out of touch with reality that you didn't know about all of those?
The patior act i aggree.. but then.. after reading about it on the ACLU website, as opposed to what people on/. say, it wasn't as bad. I don't see how disallowing gay people from being married is against the constitution. The wire taps might be illegal but the government is fully capable and allowed to spy on us according to the constitution. FOIA i don't see how that's doing anything you would be against.. torture hmm i'm not sure how that's a violation of the constitution, is it wrong, but then i think the use of the word torture is in teh cases i've heard about hardly even applicable.
Oh, the utter hypocricy. OMFGWTFBBQ!!! He lied about a blowjob oh what else will such an evil man do.
Oh, but lying to start a war that had been planned for years is ok, and no need to worry about anytihng worse out of that.
Your thinking is fundamentally diseased if you are capable of such amazing doublethink.
Wow, you even topped yourself on that. Lying is wrong, but lying in order to invade Iraq isn't?!?
Damn, dude, just....damn.
see above. show me where LIED or are you suggesting he has SUCH GREAT influence that he can get other countries to make up shit as well? sorry being wrong != lying. and that's assuming that that he was in fact wrong.
Nope, it's not. There is a fundamental moral difference between those who promote freedom and those who try to stamp it out. I'm a promoter of freedom, but I will stamp on asshats who actively try to destroy it.
has NOTHING to do with my point even if it were true.
First, it is not biased to the left. That is idiocy of the highest caliber. A bias against Bush isn't a fucking bias. It's basic common sense and human decency. To be biased to the left as an American site, America would actually have to have a left. Nice try, try actually learning *something* about politics rather thanspouting the idiotic Fox news bullshit you originally brought up.
I don't know why you feel like insulting everyone who disaggrees wiht you, but ok whatever. I don't see where i said anti-bush = left leaning. But regardless, here you go again assuming your position is correct. And anyone who disagrees is a baby killer or whatever you're implying. and as for my learning, why don't you try to read and understand what i said and respond to that instead of responding to whatever it is you feel like responding too. Or atleast, don't quote me.
And about liberalism being a founding principal.. sure.. but then they were also conservitive in many ways as well.
"We hold these truths to be self evident: That all men are created equal."
The right *disagrees* with this principle. Further, they believe that the power of the state should be used against people to prevent this. See The Axis, Franco, Bush, etc. etc. etc. to see how fucking retarded this idea is.
seriously.. ok so the right doesn't hold values like this? or are you just another bush = hitler troll.
Has he done anything right? It's theoretically possible. The inescapable fact is that pretty much everything he has done *is* wrong by any sort of widely held moral standard.
define right: apparently, it means what you aggree with. Sorry you lose. plenty of people aggree with him, even if every thing he's done, you hate. And the widely held moral standard part is complete bullshit.
Ummm, yes. They stole millions from this country for a witch hunt. They tried to get him on.. what, like 5 different things?!? Nothing stuck until they found a fat bitch who liked giving her soiled dresses to her mom?!? Yeah. So he lied about it. That sucks, it's dishonest and asshattery of the highest degree.
He didn't make up a bunch of fucking lies in order to pursue some ivory tower intellectual strategy to blow up a bunch of people, fuck the constitution *hard* in the ass and all the rest of his hate based agenda.
Pull your head out of your ass and try to get some fucking perspective.
lol ok dude my head is in my ass, yet you apparently don't understand the difference i'm pointing out. replace blowjob with whatever, he still tried to get people to lie about it. Bush hasn't been found to do that. again you DISAGREE with going to IRAQ fine. But realize, your opinion is not the end all be all. Or don't i guess.. but I don't think that's a great way to live myself. and please point out where bush has fucked the constitution in the ass.. or made up lies. listen, we weren't the only ones who thought they had WMD, so don't go down this route please. and hate based agenda? god why am i responding.. please tell me HOW TEH FUCK he has a hate based agenda. hate of the iraqies? hates em so much why not nuke every one.. no american lives lost that way. hate of black people? please hate of who? or is it hate of things, hate of freedom? Hey maybe this is what yer talking about.. sorry, this again boils down to you disaggreeing.
Sure, but to pretend that it isn't a difference of orders of magnitude is utterly assinine.
did I say there wasn't? i really don't care that much that clinton tried to get people to lie about that blowjob.. but i care that someone who will try to convince other to lie about something so simple would do far worse for something more important. That said, I really didn't care what happened cause of it. but agian, you assume that going to iraq was wrong or whatever else. lying clearly is however.
Nope, factually wrong. He stated that "the minority" i.e. right wing extremists have been silenced. That is entirely false. It was a lie.
lol ok you know you saying that is like fox saying they're fair and balanced. it's absolutly wrong./. IS UNQUESTIONABLY biased to the left part of that is because it hides stuff that would be considered right wing.
It's also a different question as to how many Bush policies show utter contempt for what this country stands for and how many are even in the same ballpark. How much do you want to bet that the figures come out similar?
no this is the exact same question. you may not LIKE bush, but a lot of people do, or aggree with enough of what he's said/done to have voted him into office twice now. and really you slamming bush is offtopic of what i said.
At this point in time you are actually trying to call it baseless?!? What color is the air on your planet. If anything it's been proven by Bush and Co that everybody underestimated their hated of freedom and integrity.
sorry try and convince me that bush hasn't made the right choices, some of them i'd agree some of them i wouldn't. on/. EVERYTHING he does is wrong pretty much.
No, but he has:
Raped the FOIA. Blatantly lied in an effort to push an Iraq war agenda. Consistently promoted the most incompetent (or evil if you believe in that) people. Done everything in his power to destroy the idea that America actually stands for something decent which I held as a very high personal value. Actively promoted torture. Pissed all over the constitution.
i was talking about the original poster you responded too..
In fact they actually impeached him over a blowjob when they spent millions of our dollars on a fucking witch hunt and could not find another fucking thing to get him on.
umm NO. he was NOT impeached about a fucking blowjob, he was impeached about LYING and trying to get others to LIE about said blowjob. huge difference. whether or not you aggree with impeaching him over that is another story.
Bush could be impeached on several charges that actually matter.
i'm sure, and by the same reasoning, you could impeach every president past and future as well.
and i'm really sympethetic (sp?) for the wolves attacking clinton because they don't do that to other high profile people..
He didn't say it. Look at your title bar. It's the topic. Apparently he took it as an invitation to spread more.
so you accuse that poster of spreading lies but then you say he didn't say anything.. or are you saying he's aggreeing/disaggreeing with the article.. i don't understand.
my preferences? no i was trying to shed some light on what he was saying. I really don't care if/. covers politcs or not as it leaks into almost every story anyway.
yes well stories about wall street are important to lots of nerds too... but it's not exactly special to what a nerd would like vs a normal person. Same is true with politics.
You, sir have proven yourself to be an idiotic moron.
really? mostly what he expressed is opinion.. you may very well disagree.. but that certainly doens't make him a moron
You either don't actually read the site at all or you're a lying sack of shit. In the first place, all points of view are modded up and all points of view are modded down.
umm bullshit
let's see how many pro-bush comments are modded up vs how many anti-bush comments are modded up. To be completly fair, there are exceptions.. but they are really rare. I also think slashdot has gotten better since the elections have passed.. good lord reading this site in the few months prior to it.. there was very little i cared to read most of it was baseless bush bashing, even in the articles posted on/..
Asshats like yourself who whine like little bitches about how you'll get moderated down often get moderated up. It's a typical karma whore tactic.
good lord did he rape your mother or something? calm down.
The reason that you see more people getting pissed off about this administration is the undeniable fact that they are cowards and they are traitors. Only fools or sociopaths could possibly support them at this point due to that simple fact that has been proven over and over again.
umm yeah this is insightful.. look i understand the typical./er doesn't like bush, but would you all please stop talking like this? or atleast stop acting like this is unique. I mean guess what, tons of people said very simliar things about clinton when he was in office! i know you may not have seen it, but it was there in plenty of right leaning places, as opposed to/. which is a left leaning place.
So, in conclusion, keep your moronic 24 hour propaganda lies to yourself.
lol ok where did he say anything about 24 hour propaganda? i dunno maybe i missed it
young people end up wasting their teen years on stuff they hate, just so that they can get into university.
really? i mean i never really wanted to take all the math and science i did... but i'm sure glad i did. It sure helped me out in college and now at work. Isn't part of learning, doing things that you don't like, doesn't that build character and isn't it also part of life? doesn't everybody have to do things that they don't like/want to do, like maybe talking to toher people instead of just coding for example.
C++ is at it's heart, quite portable.. until you get outside of doing simple I/O/data structure types of things.
want an example? Sleep/sleep in windows it's Sleep, in *nix it's sleep
of course one line to get rid of that aggreivation.. but that's just a simple example.. try doing something like a hash table.. one of the products i'm working on compiles in visual studio 6, and gcc on other *nix (linux, solaris, hpux, aix). that code is completely hacked.. why becuase of sleep/Sleep, because of all the little OS specific changes or the big ones like having to import STLport vs the gnu implementation. Or some class not overriding operator like they do on the other platform.. yadda yadda yadda, there's a bazillion of these, and they're not hard to uncover.
Or even better, want to statically link an app? that's most definiatly NOT a portable thing.. and not as simple as it should be on any platform.
These things don't exist in the java world..
yes java is built on C++, so they in effect, do the dirty work, so we can take it for granted. Or are you going to be doing asm programming, because C++ is based on that? No, you would use a higher level language so you don't have to worry about registers and crap
But java runs into platform specific problems as well.. lack of proper file buffering on windows was a big performance hit on our code somewhat recently. Also EBCDIC vs ASCII for character encoding.. but all the java issues are issues in C/C++ as well. So basically the problems of C++ are a superset of the java ones.
Not to mention that C++ requires build machines for each type of os/arch you want to build on. which requires setting up build enviroments and lots of other hidden fun.
Does this mean never use C++? absolutly not. in some cases it's far easier, or nessecary to use C/C++. (kernel API calls, or building a kernel itself... though this mgiht change soon..) or efficiency, unfortunatly java isn't fast enough to be a 3D game platform yet. or legacy apps. but for most apps, it's by far a better choice than C++. What are the points for c++ over java? speed (which is usually far overrated) and system level stuff, so you have 1.5 reasons to use C++ over java, and a bazillion more reasons to use java over C++
Really though, java isn't "the choice" either. It's to bad people aren't more accepting of other languages.. we might be well over the hurdles that java/c# and their reliance upon VM's present. Which would lead to even more stable code being written. One thing i love about.NET (supposidly, i've never actually tried it yet:( ) is that you can combine languages.. imagine the power of that.. some things are better off done in a functional language, some c++ would be better or prolog or whatever.
Also, before you go spouting off about the the "typical liberal," perhaps you should check your own post. The upper limit on SS-taxable income is $94,200 for 2006, not $96,400 as you assert.
as a funny offtopic info. apparently playboy mirrors files for eclipse, apache, freebsd, and some other stuff! coolness. I fuond this out in some other article clicking around. look for yourself
i dunno i always found eclipse to be tricky.. I never fully liked it. Then i got employed at my current employer and the senior people said I should try Intellij.. I fell in love. Does everythin I want it to, is pretty well customizable, has plugins ect ect.. I do not miss eclipse (or the few days I used net beans for that matter)
UMS are the best, it's so boring playing against people in normal matches, because 1/2 the people are cheating and the other half are either way better or way worse than you.
yeah and how much that school has changed apparently... with all their donations. but whatever, my senior year in HS we kicked their ass in their homecoming game:)
I thought they had a response to this in an episode or something?
as i recall, it was that the MIT experiment wasn't real enough in that, they had better instruments, weren't working with a real ship that had water all over it and that there were so many ships in the fleet that there was just no way this could be accomplished or something to that affect.
Slashdot Mirror
this is the first reply i've seen that insults us the /. community as stupid? and it's labelled redudant! lol

really? i mean i never really wanted to take all the math and science i did... but i'm sure glad i did. It sure helped me out in college and now at work. Isn't part of learning, doing things that you don't like, doesn't that build character and isn't it also part of life? doesn't everybody have to do things that they don't like/want to do, like maybe talking to toher people instead of just coding for example.
i was just glad to some noob get pwned during the video. and I think i have a trademark on the going to uper left with missles on the volcano part
C++ is at it's heart, quite portable.. until you get outside of doing simple I/O/data structure types of things.
.NET (supposidly, i've never actually tried it yet :( ) is that you can combine languages.. imagine the power of that.. some things are better off done in a functional language, some c++ would be better or prolog or whatever.
want an example?
Sleep/sleep in windows it's Sleep, in *nix it's sleep
of course one line to get rid of that aggreivation.. but that's just a simple example.. try doing something like a hash table.. one of the products i'm working on compiles in visual studio 6, and gcc on other *nix (linux, solaris, hpux, aix). that code is completely hacked.. why becuase of sleep/Sleep, because of all the little OS specific changes or the big ones like having to import STLport vs the gnu implementation. Or some class not overriding operator like they do on the other platform.. yadda yadda yadda, there's a bazillion of these, and they're not hard to uncover.
Or even better, want to statically link an app? that's most definiatly NOT a portable thing.. and not as simple as it should be on any platform.
These things don't exist in the java world..
yes java is built on C++, so they in effect, do the dirty work, so we can take it for granted. Or are you going to be doing asm programming, because C++ is based on that? No, you would use a higher level language so you don't have to worry about registers and crap
But java runs into platform specific problems as well.. lack of proper file buffering on windows was a big performance hit on our code somewhat recently. Also EBCDIC vs ASCII for character encoding.. but all the java issues are issues in C/C++ as well. So basically the problems of C++ are a superset of the java ones.
Not to mention that C++ requires build machines for each type of os/arch you want to build on. which requires setting up build enviroments and lots of other hidden fun.
Does this mean never use C++? absolutly not. in some cases it's far easier, or nessecary to use C/C++. (kernel API calls, or building a kernel itself... though this mgiht change soon..) or efficiency, unfortunatly java isn't fast enough to be a 3D game platform yet. or legacy apps. but for most apps, it's by far a better choice than C++. What are the points for c++ over java? speed (which is usually far overrated) and system level stuff, so you have 1.5 reasons to use C++ over java, and a bazillion more reasons to use java over C++
Really though, java isn't "the choice" either. It's to bad people aren't more accepting of other languages.. we might be well over the hurdles that java/c# and their reliance upon VM's present. Which would lead to even more stable code being written. One thing i love about
IntelliJ is better.
Also, before you go spouting off about the the "typical liberal," perhaps you should check your own post. The upper limit on SS-taxable income is $94,200 for 2006, not $96,400 as you assert.
wow you pwn3d him!!!!
as a funny offtopic info. apparently playboy mirrors files for eclipse, apache, freebsd, and some other stuff! coolness. I fuond this out in some other article clicking around. look for yourself
i dunno i always found eclipse to be tricky.. I never fully liked it. Then i got employed at my current employer and the senior people said I should try Intellij.. I fell in love. Does everythin I want it to, is pretty well customizable, has plugins ect ect.. I do not miss eclipse (or the few days I used net beans for that matter)
UMS are the best, it's so boring playing against people in normal matches, because 1/2 the people are cheating and the other half are either way better or way worse than you.
yeah and how much that school has changed apparently... with all their donations. but whatever, my senior year in HS we kicked their ass in their homecoming game :)
I thought they had a response to this in an episode or something?
as i recall, it was that the MIT experiment wasn't real enough in that, they had better instruments, weren't working with a real ship that had water all over it and that there were so many ships in the fleet that there was just no way this could be accomplished or something to that affect.
You know, I thought VS was the best tool too, until they gave me intellij at work..
OMG YOU MENTIONED z/OS god... i have to program on that thign at work.. ugggggh nothing like programming on a system that has files older than you.
Or this EUO It's an ultima V like multiplayer game. Rather fun too, for a while anyhow.
