To tip a living being is EASIER than tipping a statue. Living things are easily surprised and taken off-balance. My personal experience with ruminants is: I ran over a horse once and I ran over a cow, too. The horse: I was at 110km/h (70mph) in a 1979 GM Chevette whose brake system, unknowingly to me up till that time, was defective. I saw the horse going to the middle of the road at 150m distance, hit the brakes, and nothing! I swung the car to the left (so I could avoid hitting the horse on me), and the horse rolled (ONCE) over the right side of my car (broke the windshield and I had to repair the right A-column) and fell on his feet. Speed on impact: at least 80km/h (50mph). Horse weight: 600kg. The horse survived, with a broken rib. The cow: I was at 110km/h (70mph) in a 1995 Fiat Tempra. It was 11pm and I was coming back from a 600km (370mi) away one-day trip. I saw the cow at less than 100m (110yd) distance, and hit the brakes, slowing down to something in the range of 50-60 km/h (30-37 mph) in the point of impact. The cow rolled TWICE over the front of the car and THRICE again in the floor behind the car (there was no escape to me because a truck was coming in the other lane). It was a big preggie cow, weighting at least 1000kg (2200lb). The cow and its offspring were dead on site. The dynamics of the cow rolling over and over suggests to me that tipping a cow is easier than it looks. Besides, I weight 100kg and I can push a 200kg weight around. This myth is not busted, guys.:-) Hope Adam or Jamie or someone else MythBuster reads/....
Don't count on it. Albeit Perl6 is a very dynamic language, it has the potential to type-strong every single variable. Better and better tools appear every day: have you ever seen pyrex and psyco? I am not the greatest python fan either (*), but a psyco-like thing will "take over" more and more languages, especially potentially type-strong ones like perl6. And perl6 has compile-time generic types (templates) and compile-type syntax modifications (macros).
(*) I worked with it already, and I admit python code is normally very readable, but OTOH I prefer the conciseness (and possibility of expressing SIMD, when applicable) of
@a >>+<<= @b
to the supposed clarity of the equivalent for-loop in python. DISCLAIMER: this is just a matter of (personal) taste. I am not trolling.
hmmmm... let's see: an order of magnitude the performance of C++: this depends. If we're talking about regular expression-based parsing and general string manipulation, perl5 is already there. Hard math? 3- and 4-d matrix manipulations? not yet. Maybe perl7, who knows? generic programming: perl5 has this, sort of. lots of stuff can be done in compile time. perl6 has generic types, I think even pugs have them already, but I don't recall exactly. bazilion libraries? here, actually, this is one of the things the world (including c++) could learn from the perl community. really. including c and c++-written libraries that you can call from inside your perl programs. I am still reading about this ITK thingie, so I won't comment, but looks good for starters. Mind you, I work with C++ myself. But I don't think it's a perfect language (nor I am saying you said that), and I think each tool has its trade (but, seriously, I loathe Java).
is that it's overly complicated. If you want to release on those terms, just state it: "this work is released under the terms of the GPL v2, with the exception that if you include it (or a derivative work) in your own work, you only have to apply the provisions of the clause 2 to this work (or its derivative) and not to your work." or something like it. But then again, in the interest of full disclosure, I am not a firm believer in the "mysterious non-existing GPL linking clause".
All that forbes said about blogs is, IMHO, good. It says basically: while the internet is a "free speech zone", everyone should keep their noses clean, because no dirt will escape. Simple as that.
(ok, my poetry can be not very popular with you, but...) every lyrics/poetry I write, in the moment I put the "dot" on it, it's "perfect"... even if I would do a "derivative" after, that version to me is "perfect" in the sense I have passion of it, even for its possible flaws.
And I imagine that a book author or a movie director could/should feel exactly like this for the movie that premiered. Except in cases (like Blade Runner) where they think the "other guys" ruined their work.
download Ubunto breezy (the live-cd version) and try it out. if everything works, download the install version. you'll like it. unless, of course you are allergic to the colour brown.
and apologize by calling you a troll, because of 2(b) and 3.
1. yes, xkb documentation would be terrible... if there was any.:-) 2. (a) I don't think this is a very "used" or very "wanted" option anyway (you are the only person I ever heard about that wants to minimize windows that aren't in the current workview.)
But I, personally, use my linux desktop very, very efficiently. And I can't use the (day job) Windows desktop as efficiently.
1. either the altgr is the way that windows comes preconfigured, or you can't set it that way without resorting to black "editing configuration files" magick. and you *can* do "editing configuration files" magick on/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb too.
2. I'm almost sure there is an option in the control panel for this. But anyway, Windows DOES NOT HAVE multiple "workviews".
3. If you want to configure Windows "just a bit differently", you have to speak English, too.
I wrote about 100 e-mails per workday and 50 in the weekends, at least. But I spent about 16 hours/day in front of a computer -- including in the weekends.
1. QWERTY w/ accents: KDE control center -> international settings -> keyboard layout -> add "US - international" (or "US-latin1") and you are set.
2. iconify all windows -> there is a "show desktop" icon in the default panel of kde. If it's not there (ex. if RH had taken it off their defaults), right-click on the panel, "add applet" or "add special button" whatever it is, and the "show desktop" or "minimize all windows" will be there.
3. some of the items above will be wrong, because from some years now I only use my KDE workstation in my native language (Brasilian Portuguese), and I really forgot how stuff is written in the original English. So, no English is required to operate KDE in principle.
it's because XP hides the BSOD, making it reboot the machine by default? Ok, XP BSODs far less than 95/98/Me/2k, but it still does it. You are just lucky or not a very power-user type. Hint: developers and gamers see a lot of BSODs.
And my day job is developing Delphi systems over Oracle databases. My workstations are garden-variety 1GHz Celerons with 512 MB RAM each. Both of them have factory-installed drivers and default configurations. Windows 98 crashes and burns during Delphi 7.0 debug sessions at least once every two days -- BSOD. XPPro crashes about once every fortnight during a debug session. None of them stays on at night (meaning they have the opportunity to start anew every morning). This is just my anecdote, but it's also a reflex of all my experience with developing under windows platforms. To compare, my 24/7 home workstation runs the same Delphi7 under WINE without ever crashing the system (ok, Delphi sometimes crashes and takes WINE with it). To compare, I had NEVER had KDevelop crashing on me (and yes, I use it daily).
You know, when I get my mod points, I usually take a good look in the person who is writing something before moderating as troll or flamebait. The fact is: everybody that passed junior high should know about the world he lives in, where are located Tunisia and Ghana, that Brasil is larger than the continental US, speaks Portuguese (not Spanish), and that Buenos Aires is the capital of Argentina.
Cooling gear (fanless, especially) is Expensive. Often, Good (as in really safe) cooling gear is more expensive than the price difference saved in OCing.

Good thing there are no moose in Brasil. And I'll take your advice, and never drive a Kia Spectra if I can avoid it.

you should have done something in the line of (one specialization for each special case):
template <class T> void foo<T>::bar() {
T var = random();
do_something(var);
}
template <> void foo<uint8_t>::bar() {
uint8_t var = (random() << 32);
var |= random();
do_something(var);
}

I get that the template is missing from the first line, but there are other stuff missing and I don't know what they are. care to repeat, please?
