and much mor consise. Much more readable as well. I think the first example is more in keeping with K&R, although I haven't seen that for quite some time (forty bucks for that little freakin' book, I mean, come on.)
The entire point is that this is the most moronic piece of software ever conceived.
The whole point of Java was, as Sun so blatantly hyped, that Java programs were "write once, run everywhere." That doesn't just mean, "write once, run on 95/98/2k/NT/CE." I personally liked the idea of writing a program and being able to run it (and have other people run it) on Windows, MacOS, Solaris, Linux, BSD, BeOS, etc. etc. ad nauseum.
Yeah, this'll be cool for those wanting Windows apps that run both on their desktop and on their CE-based PDA, but it undermines one of the founding principles of Java.
And our backlash has nothing to do with a "if it's not Linux, it's CRAP!" Java is from Sun. Sun has little to do with Linux. Grow up.
Try installing from source. RH 6.0 uses a newer, not-so-binary-compatible glibc.:^( As far as RH using it's own "flavor" of KDE, well, so does SuSE, and, for that matter, the RH-based Mandrake distribution (and I'm sure others do as well.)
Hell, I remember just a year ago RPMs of KDE were a novelty.:^)
Back in the RH 4.x days, I was running Slackware. Installing binary-only RPMs was a simple matter of rpm --nodeps something.rpm, and discrepancies could be solved with symlinks.
Not for the total, utter newbie, nor for the faint-of-heart.:^)
I always recommend to new users that they shell out the cash for Partition Magic 4.0. That makes the job *much* easier.
Truth be told, I've installed Win95, Win98, and various Linux distributions. I know some otherwise fairly knowledgeable people who have gone through the WinNT ordeal. I would say that Red Hat is the easiest of all, by far. Sure, as long as nothing goes wrong with the install process on a Windoze machine, you're OK, but whoa Nellie, if something does go wrong...
The problem is with glibc 2.1. It's not entirely binary-compatible. Many apps (including StarOffice) need to be recompiled for glibc2.1
That being said, apparently StarOffice has been recompiled--but it's licensed only for the Applications CD. Aaargh...seems like a very Microslop-ish move.:^(
I got a cheap knockoff computer as a dormroom computer, had a cyrix on it...around Christmas, the damn thing caught fire. Fire originated around the CPU. Nice fuckin' deal.
Yeah, it was announced much earlier (April '97?) but the only thing was that if the licensing was changed on Qt, that whatever the current release was, would be released by the Qt Free Foundation under the BSD license.
I suppose that's why thousands of dollars of MY MONEY go to my university so I can go here. And why my university will start hounding me for money as soon as I leave (also known as an "alumni association.")
By that business model, the theatres in the town I go to college in are operating at a loss-$4.00 for children, $4.50 for students, and $6.00 for adults.

Oops, should have went into HTML mode; this got butchered in the translation. This was actually indented (and, I assume, so was the original post.)
where did you learn to write i have never seen punctuation so bad ya must have learned it at the ee cummings society for creative punctuation?
With some indentation, this example would have been great, e.g.
if (thing == mine) {
printf ("you suck")
}
else {
printf ("you suck");
}
much better than
if (you == suck)
{
printf ("you suck");
}

Here's a thought on preventing some cheating in a multiplayer game:
:^(
Have the server keep an eye on player movement etc. If something looks fishy, kick/ban the player in question.
Cheating involving weird hacks happens in closed-source games too...this gets real frustrating playing games like Q2/Tribes/Whatever.
Nor does Linux need a bunch of goddamn fuckin' flamers.
Yes, I realize the irony of my reply.
If you felt like living dangerously, you could probe for hardware...
Just a thought.
Why visit a Linux site when you're so openly opposed to free, Open Source software?

Unless I've missed a joke here...
Ahem... (clears throat)

I have a friend that has a DSS dish, and he watches NBC from Philly (I think it's Philly

No one will buy TPM on VHS? I suppose *that's* the reason retailers still stock VHS tapes...
Stop paying attention then.
Sindrome?
Yeah, talk about heat...
