You've probably never heard of Intel's Optimizing C++ compiler.
Hell, C++ is the true production language running everything from Gears of War, Counter Strike to Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Flash, VLC and high-end production web servers like YouTube etc. Depending on how you use it, but it can be as easy as Basic yet powerful and fast as assembler. Take no substitute.
This is just far cry for that happened at big banks and investment firms at the end of the last year. Quants failed, markets crashed beyond believe and below even the worst predictions. Now what Mr. Useless quant, change your theories or bye bye.
iPhone dev. community as of late has been struck by recession or something.., lots of pokers arised that try to bash you and drag your app down. Developers are starting to battle themselves, that is a bad trend, not drive-by killings yet, but really the buying of positive comments, bashing competition and cyber-bullying is terrible.
"Scientific" or other government project are not awarded according to our current need, but due to lobby of various kind.
Thats why military receives $600 billion and crucial stem cell research nil.
So much for our blessed democracy.
Speaking of democracy. Hell, you can even invade and wage a war in two different countries at once and blame the other party. This is fantastic system.
LHC already accomplished all its main goals. Scooping billions of Euros for firms and contractors that are already very happy with the 'results'. Local news here in Europe are full of crazy stories of overpriced deliveries. The funniest part of this is that Swiss got most of the EU money and it is not even a EU member state. So much for the glory of this kind of borderline science, while stem cell and other critical research are stalled or left underfunded. Now Fermilab could only prove that LHC created a blackhole, in financial terms, thats for sure.
I mean this is beyond believe they do this to those poor creatures.
This only shows their incompetence in model scenarios, so they just modify the DNA of primates and watch what happens, that is pretty low and disgusting, terrible trial and error approach.
But I see the point, these gruesome Japanese scientists probably want to advance themselves from being the missing link between humans and monkeys.
We come from different backgrounds, that is obvious to me, some kind of lazy evaluation is being introduced in C++ 0x, Bjarne is looking at it, I believe, but hardly anybody cares. I fail to see how lazy eval. or lazy casting or similar things could help us to have more error-prone, robust, easy to debug and reliable code. Last iteration of the C++ standards only tightened the rules to avoid things like that. I prefer to be in control of things, even if that means a small speed penalty. Runtime code juggling might a nightmare to debug in production environment. Speed is not all, again, thanks and have a nice day.
Polaroid is about to have nice framed and colored picture in hand instantly, the photo material is unique and very nice, you do not have to use elaborate printers or sending photos to photo shops etc. Something that digital cameras lack to deliver. Even the format of the paper frame and photo is very well thought out.
It is perfect for taking family photos that people can carry out right out from the event. There is not a digital camera alternative in the market for this, at least that I know about. Even if there is one, I doubt it would have the overall feel and appeal of the Polaroid photo.
Coca-Cola buys (though subsidiary) about 100 metric tons of dried Peruvian coca leaves each year, according to Marco Castillo, spokesman for Peru's state-owned National Coca Co.
(source Wikipedia)
And it uses it in Coca-Cola, that of course doesn't mean that Coca-Cola contains cocain, just a Coca extract.
"Coca" contains cocaine alkaloids, a basis for the drug cocaine.
So Coca-Cola, that still uses Coca extracts in the beverage might also contain "trace amounts" of the substance.. Greedy regulators might have missed a bigger target here.
Well, C++ allows object-oriented, procedural, functional and generic programming. Can this "LISP" do that ? Btw: I've never heard of LISP so I might be wrong and LISP really is something, I thought it is another "Ruby On Rails" kind of glue language for web/html coders.
Lisp written in Lisp is much more maintainable than a Lisp written in C
Robust code speaks for itself, or at least the language must allow for it. I can't see LISP being more readable or obvious that C/C++ is.
Maybe in academic scenarios this is a plus, but in production environment? LISP is another single-paradigm language, with all the woes that comes with it.
Not true (at least from my perspective), this is the beginning of age of IT. To have an IT company started in this decade is like starting a Mercedes-Benz or Bugatti in the early 20th century. The turf rush is still on. There is plenty of opportunity online. It is always better to be a first mover or early adopter.

Safari does clean up after itself
That is a bit of contradiction there, you say that and in the next sentence you claim you need to press the "Empty Cache" button. That means unless somebody figures out how to flush the stuff Safari is happily recording you.
I can't see that option in the Windows version (beta), there is a preference to limit the size of the database, but not a clean up link in the menu.
This is the future for dedicated server application, where the real bottleneck is the network card and not the CPU. ARM is certainly gonna be huge in the near future. Considering prices and power consumption ARM has a clear edge over AMD/Intel, the only thing holding the ARM floodgates closed is that production OSes and systems that are not ready for the ARM (just yet).

Looks a bit like those Slovak Fujara pipes, but the sound is not so convincing, Fujara sound is amazing!
And you are not even modded insightful. Most people here have no clue what is this all about. (lol)

Well Google at least could steer lots of people away from the portal, otherwise they would be essentially locked-in within the AOL web.
I am becoming tired of paying $300 for Windows. They should reevaluate this too and come up with more reasonable price plan.
Do we really need those all-inclusive portals anymore ? Time Warner might be thinking along those lines..

The critical question here is whether JetPack also plugs or replaces ads in the steered websites.
Once you take the route of deliberately modifying content, this is just next logical step. I hope that is not the case.

Rats given the cancer-fighting drug spontaneously consumed less alcohol when it was freely available to them
I didn't know that rats "spontaneously" consume alcohol when it is freely available to them.
In terms of readability and maintenance it might be a nightmare (looking at the LISP code).
The benchmark seams biased anyway, you can't beat C/C++, really, and the LISP language itself is written in C.
