on a tangential note: when do we get anti-aliased text natively supported in X? it's really bugging me lately %#!%#. hmm, if it's bugging you so badly, why don't you just create it yourself? Linux - by programmers, for programmers.
It wasn't the strict vegetarian diet that particularly killed him. Dude just forgot to eat, since he was so rapt up in his math. Actually, it wasn't that he so much forgot, since his wife was constantly hounding him to eat, but rather, he just didn't want to.
DirectX is so much more than just the 3D aspect of the programming. Sure, functionally Direct3D and OpenGL are similar, with OpenGL being the cleaner interface. But DirectX has clean, thin, consistent API's for access to sound hardware (and 3D sound), input devices (mice, keyboard, force-feedback joystick), music support, multiplayer gaming, 2D transformations and animation acceleration. The point is not to confuse OpenGL with DirectX, since DirectX is a whole host of multimedia services.
In Java, once a object variable goes out of scope, it gets deleted by the GC. If you know that the object will no longer be needed in the middle of the code (such as in your line 10/11 example), then set the object variable to NULL, and the GC will handle it. If you want to completely insulate yourself from issues like these, then you will inevitably get more memory-intensive programs at the expense of complexity. Your choice.
As for circular chains that are lost, it depends. A prof on mine said that some vendors were looking at how to deal with this.

Been there, Done that. Your Word and Excel should already be configured to hose any foreign macro code.
It may not be default, but shoot, if your going to run MS stuff, you gots to turn on the warning messages about scripts.

Dude, you can get rid of the flat threading mode by getting an account. It really is painless.

Thanks.
Some people have to work within the confines of the software and tools they are given. Deal with it.
Gotta quick question -
I use Microsoft's DAO to move my data from program to program. Would Python or Perl allow me quick access to this data, sorta like VB, but better?
