Point 4).. get rid of that (*****!) MOC compiler. You can't even debug your sources, MOC creates something else for you. Mandatory h/cpp pairs? We have been considering QT, but there is so much problems to run the thing..
I mean SGI is or was an icon in high-end graphics and workstations, not a web-hosting company.
I do not see the connection here. I looks more like the sgi.com and logo grab, but what for? Does it really emphasizes web-hosting in any shape or form?
Java has at least 10x the number of open source libraries as C/C++
Ok, I laughed.
All major software for Office, CAD, Games, Design, photo-editing, CAM, operating systems, browsers all use C/C++ exclusively. All major libs use C/C++ exclusively.
iPhone is Obj-C for Apple UI only, and that calls C functions at the end anyway.
C/C++ code works there, iPhone uses GCC. That makes iPhone much better development platform then Android, where you are given Java as a prime tool, good luck with that Google.
The processing fees might be aggregated on monthly basis or so. What then? I could not believe banks are unable or unprepared to handle micro-payments.
If such an attack is possible then something is obviously wrong. This might negatively affect any business that handles credit cards. Pretty much any firm is vulnerable.
What about people that have hundreds of thousands lines of C/C++ code written, do you suppose we throw that out of window or spend another hundreds of hours rewriting the stuff to pretty inferior Java, the single paradigm language, interpreted, corporation controlled, non-ISO, non-standard, slow, just to enable it to run on the platform ? What about may be 90% of all open source/GPL code out there, that is written in C/C++, what about that ? Should we trash it all and start all over because of Google has an affair with the Sun ? Because Google want developers to use second rate interpreted language while Google's own applications enjoy native speed, all the C/C++ code out there and all?
iPhone is 'doable', it supports C/C++, you do not need to throw all you code out of window and switch to pretty inferior Java or Objective-C, at least it is not mandatory.
Do not forget that Google's own applications run native, that means your applications is penalized by using inferior interface.
In other words your application will always be a second rate application, serious developers avoids such a scenario. I've never seen a platform that would run smooth without native environment tweaking.
Give me a native support (C/C++) and there is not a problem to port the code to ARM or Atom.
Java was never really cross platform, there were quirks and problems that unlike (C++) you were not able to fix. That might have changed, but still, it is a single paradigm language, and that is a major pain, god forbid this becomes a standard of sorts.
People might be choosing XP because it is a product by a somewhat reputable company, a business entity. They can sue Microsoft, call support, buy a share, point a finger at Redmond etc. Most businesses trust
other businesses, especially well positioned businesses, it is like peerage of sorts.
You can't do it with Linux (with most of the free distributions), the perception is that Linux is a bunch of unknown software from unknown sources, at least what people are thinking here (I giving up the fight to educate them). Also, I see that about 90% of people don't get the 'open source' thing, or can't really benefit from it. So the advocacy of open source is only applicable to hight level users. The arguing with non-tech people can be really daunting sometimes.
I used GPL too, but I found it difficult for students to use their work at university later in life when transitioning to software for real life use, a medical software as it is my experience. I found BSD license more flexible, less constraining and better suited for such situations.
is very backwards in its technology and pretty much restricts Google
Chrome is based on the Webkit, if i am not mistaken, and that means at least the core level HTML/CSS is the same as Safari. So the technology is very much the same. The reason why Google/Chrome does not see Linux or OSX as a priority is that 90% of all users do not use it anyway. As a startup browser they have priorities and goals set to try the major market first, whether it is even worth to invest in the franchise will be seen there quicky.
if you get it for no price, you don't enjoy such priviledges
Not so fast cowboy, author of the work might be liable for damages, even RMS is aware of this. That what that whole:

of the GPL is for. I mean this EU law is utter bullshit from free software or commercial software point of view and would discourage developers, not to mention that it surely be misused against software vendors of any kind.

If only they can get rid off that nasty MOC compiler and adopt Boost.org signals/slots or figure themselves something better.

Heavy parallelized task can also be leveraged by utilizing CUDA and your GPU, even the cheap GPU of today have some 128-512 SPU cores.
What do you think the GPU driven super computer fuzz is all about?

Do you even comprehend how many disadvantages you get with Java?
How much for example open source code is Java and how much is C/C++ ? They all have the choice, they all have chosen C/C++.

legitimate uses of bittorrent
If you mean the 0.01% of all bittorrent traffic that is deemed legitimate, then yes.
Just avoid asking it blatant questions like:
Are you Skynet?

There is no native code (C/C++) SDK for it last time I've checked, that was about a half year ago. That is a show stopper for lot of people.
Is there C/C++ (native code) support for it yet? I mean without native code, it might discourage hell lot of developers...

BSD code is truly free no matter what you use (or misuse) it for.
Stating that GPL mean free software is like saying that Patriot act protects freedom in America.
to keep anybody from ripping a DVD
Strong naming could easily upset (EliteTorrents or PirateBay can confess).
DVD backup could have been less of a target.
to keep anybody from creating backup of a DVD
Pretty decent and disarming.
If you think that prices going this low are gonna help anybody then you should reconsider. I mean employed workers in the West.

has some nasty habits and memory leaks
Safari is another Apple jewelry, it's prime purpose is not a function.
