I loved asm (6800 and HC11) until I hit x86 asm *shudder* Suppose it got better with the 486 and upwards. NOwadays I'm too lazy plus todays compiler can probably optimize far better than I can on todays cpus with super-duper-long pipelines et al. can't be arsed to sit and count clcok cycles!;-)
warp drive is a cooler way of avoiding time-dilation IMHO, you wont need to get a ship (travelling below c) to your destination first. of ocurse there's a slight problem of creating all the needed energy, but then again, keeping wormholes open got that problem as well!;-)
actually, java isn't too bad for number crunching since it involves lots of loops, which gives the JIT a good chance of optimising the code on the fly, things can actually roll on faster than c
well, if you don't have the source and the binary you got is for an old 386, then you're stuck. Te cool thing with java is that already bytecode compiled code can be optimised on the fly
well, 3.1 and 3.11 had the win32s subsystem, which allowed soem 32 bit code to run via thunking, remember netscape used that, was a very bolted on solution though - and quite bug prone.
my ld, old job set up a new Oracle 7.3.something (yes, a while ago). They had a guy from Oracle coming over spending 3 days setting it up, cost a fortune, but boy did he make it run. Anyway, got a feeling that Oracle is keeping the tuning stuff so hard because if they made it simple, they would pull the rug away from thousaqnds of poor contractors who specialise in tuning oracle dbs.;-)
it's not really comparable suborbit flight is all going straight up and then you just fall down, no big problems with heat shielding, etc, etc (even if they apparently got some shielding). To go orbital you not only doesn't need to get up high, but also very, very fast sideways (around mach 25 IIRC) so you go into orbit. the speed and the stress on the craft are far higher than a suborbital flight. but hey, it's a very good step in the right direction!
Mind you, we don't know if they're targeting japanese companies as well. This is news over here just because there're a american company involved. If there were a japanese company involved it wouldn't be news over, would it?
Now that is funny. But does invading two countries really make you conclude that Bush wants to invade the world, making it into one country, like Hitler?

um , when NASA uses the jetpack, they usually got no tether. Where's the backup there?
don't forget about smyge (please searchj for smyge), the test vessel from the late 80's
yeah, that's because 3 went out with me! *grin*
it ran like the wild wind on my P-130(?) with a whopping 32MB ram....
IIRC most scientist believe it moves with the speed of light. but it's not proven yet. Ah, jsut googled this
Yuo never ran Netscape 3 then? It absolutely rocked. Then version 4 came along... yuck
yeah, but you got to wrap the ints in a class so you can use references. mind you, this should be sorted in java 1.5 with autoboxing
didn't they revise that number today(?) to 14.7 billion years?
I believe Red Hat actually does that already
Final Fantasy (the movie) also did nifty stuff with hair

huh? 386 we re *great*! first intel with flat memory space. 286 though, very weird thing...

yup, another vehicle. You're thinking of NASA's scramjet plane which did a nippy mach 7.

think it depends a bit on what development platform you use on Windows. Both QT (Designer) and Borland Delphi does scale widgets IIRC.
bull, I'm using focus follow mouse this very moment and have been doing so for years with no problem.
stop FUDing
bah, *real* php developer uses ed on unix/linux and edlin on win32
OMFG, Darl was right all the time!!!!
Since the US got their fair share of nukes as well, i'd rather like them to stay away from each other
well, maybe he's a slow starter...
