Well, you had Java before that... Can't really see the big diff. C# is just MS old Java compiler tweaked a bit. Mind you, don't mind C# being implemented for Linux/unix, can't do any harm, and as you say, seems to be quite nice lang.
ALways amazes me how some americans are bad mouthing their own space program. NASA is pretty much one of a kind and a a european I can only watch in awe (and a little bit of envy) on some of the stuff NASA pulls of, like this one. Whenever someone tells you americans about how moronically stupid you are you should show them stuff like this and tell them to show what clever stuff they done lately or sod off... Yes, hopefully ESA will get up there as well, but for the moment we're behind IMHO
that might be because basically not a single soul there speaks english.... backpacked around S. korea for a month and THe main way of doing oneself understood was body language and pointing on words in LP... marvelous country though...
*sigh* It was the *hardware* design that put the bios et. al. up there at 640K. Ms har *NOTHING* to do with that decision. Blame IBM if you want to blame someone. DOS was able to address the full 1Mb
From your comment one would believe that Bill isn't very clever. He is quite clever actually and wasn't a bad programmer either. Sure that doesn't necessarily make him a nice guy and MS everybody's friend but that a completely different story
go to google and search for it - ain't that hard... not that I very keen on it, but you're slagging it off and obviously not even bothered to check it out, this of makes your slagging off pretty invalid..
ah, my uni's CS faculty were all Sun sparc's, except 4 nt boxen. Most profs and techers there really didn't even know about windows - it didn't show up on their radar. was running fvwm95 on my account when one of my teacher came up wondering quering me about my funny looking wm which he never seen before. when I said it was a rip of the windows 95 look he scratched his beard thoughtfully and said 'Ah so *that's* how it looks like! oh well no too bad...' and then he went on....
Not that it's my field either so please correct me if I'm wrong, but heard somewhere that it' snot neccesarily the *speed* of what something is performed that's the inmportant bit in a RTOS, but that it can be done within a *guaranteed* period of time. So maybe someday there will be a CLR for your RTOS of choice!

And what about software for the x86 version of OSX? Also, do you think MS would allow apple to go for the x86 market ad still produce Office for MacOS? Doubt Apple would like to go into direct confrontation with MS... Apple is also more of a hardware company than a software company, that's weere they make their money. Sure I would love to have MacOSX on my box home but I doubt it will ever happen unless I buy a mac... maybe in a year or so.. too much debts now! tada
Why would we like to 'succeed on the desktop' so dearly? Well, if you want windows use it then... The reason why you use Linux should be because that you prefer to do it 'the Linux' way not because it's free or because it's 'not MS'
You can't compare with dos - it's a completely different OS (well, program launcher) than win2k, heck even win9x and winNT/win2k are completely different OSes. Linux has always been Linux.
an ancient dos tool *might* wont run on win2000 but that's usually because it's hitting the metal - which I find is a *very* good reasong for win2k not to let it run. dos runs on old 8088/8086 CPU's, Linux wont run on anything less than a 386.
True though you can run old KDE apps with th eold libs - mind you aint that fussed about upgrading - since all apps I got are free anyway it wont cost me a penny, plus it gives me a good excuse to sit down and tinker with my boxen!
It's pretty much something we got in our genes - you can't really argue with that - OK, the 2 snipers who volunteered to be dropped in a death trap in order to save their mate's lifes - now that more heroic, but fighting for your own is pretty much instinct - unless you're a tad bit suicidal or sumtink
IIRC according to Geneva convention it's not up to the US to decidce who is a prisoner of war or not - they should be treated as POW until proven else in court.

seems like the taiwanese ppl got a different point of view...
would that opcode also work dynamically or is the thing I thought about that the opcode is getting set at compile time?
*sigh*

He and Paul A wrote the best BASIC intepreter of their time.

well, maybe voyager is fine but the earth is moving around the sun hence voyager needs to reposition it's antenna

yes, it might be enough but it's close enough to Bill G famous comment in the 80s regarding memory to be labeled as funny IMHO

There're quite a few other languages ported to the JVM, JPython springs to mind for example.

Hmm, you got a point there.
Mind you, these guys really didn't have anywhere to run - the only other option than fighting would have been death.
