things mix up... law of entropy...
mixed cultures is what we end up with and I can't really say I dislike the idea... bet you US is getting their dose of foreign cultures as well!
that's a negative, at least for me...
Only good thing would be that we could talk in our mother's tounge with each other (I'm swedish), but since I live in the UK for almost 5 years now and he lives in the us I belive it's a bit of a moot point...
Sorry, Windows didn't do premptive mt until win95(quite badly) and NT(not too bad). in win3.11 you still have to use the good ol' Yield() func in order to give back the control to the system.
"I find that the more I learn about C++, the more elegant design patterns I can come up with. "
yes, However, it's very easy to blow your foot off (or your leg off!) with C++. One has to be careful when using it, having said that, that doesn't mean you can just sit down and hack away in java and come up with a beautifully designed system!;-) C++ does require more though IMHO though, since it provides you with quite a bit more powerful tools (templates, operator overloading, multiple inheritance), which are both a blessing and a curse, depending on what day it is;-)and don't provide you with 'java's little helper' (Garbage collection, and, eh, other stuff - i dunno about)

Ah, smartcard enabled a coke vending machine using the good 'ol 68HC11... all asm of course... circuit board and all designed by my fellow co-worker, oh those were the days.... *hazy eyes towards the horizon*
nah, must disagree really. Don't mind working in win2k, but that shadow was the first thing to go. all damn menu animations as well. I can't see any reason for all this eye candy. It just hogs down your machine IMHO.
mind you, suppose it's all a matter of taste..;-)
Hmm, that could be something, something like alt-tab (shft-tab?) to toggle the top windows between transparent/solid...
letting alt-tab make all windows transparent isn't bad either... hmm, might be a fun little proj...
one could have a sort of boss key, that made the image viewer 100% translucent - = no porn to be seen!!!;-)
problem is to find that window again though..
Think it whas to do that we're on a half island rather on the actual continent. I believe the younger crowd very much wants to belong to europe though, but the older still seems to be a bit stuck in the "we - swedes, they - europeans".
We always been a bit different when it ocmes to drinking laws, how much to get through the custom, etc. (hint: less than rest of europe)Moved to UK 4years ago and I got pretty much the same feeling here among people.
true, but then again. Sweden, NOrway and Finland (not sure about them actually) don't really believe they're part of europe either an dthey use the metric sys. Mind you, we do love following standards and regulations... think we're (sweden) one of the few countries who follow the european standard for dates (yyyymmdd), noone else in europe really does that to my knowledge..
>Did I mention that even the middle school students in Japan have cell phones?
so? maybe you should go to scandinavia if you want to see mobile phone penetration..;-)
FInland have had more mobiles than landline phones for quite some time now...
indeed it's hardware.
From DDJ (http://www.ddj.com/documents/s=882/ddj0008a/)- I quote *ahem*:
"That leaves one potential bottleneck, and it's a big one -- memory bandwidth. Xbox has a unified memory architecture (UMA), whereby the GPU and CPU share a single memory space, with memory control provided by the GPU. This is in marked contrast to the separate memories used for high-performance 3D in PCs. UMA has a significant advantage in that it allows the CPU, DVD and disk controllers, and GPU to access common data without copying; for example, models and textures can be streamed off the DVD into memory and used directly by the GPU. However, the history of UMA is spotty; witness IBM's PCjr UMA, which stopped the CPU virtually dead in its tracks by allotting two out of every three memory cycles to graphics. Not surprisingly, this is the aspect of Xbox that has aroused the greatest degree of public skepticism, so the accompanying text box entitled "Xbox Memory Bandwidth" discusses Xbox's memory bandwidth in high-end scenarios. The short version of the bandwidth story is that while there are scenarios in which Xbox could run out of bandwidth, there should be more than enough for most cases, particularly those that leverage the GPU's programmable pipeline. Under virtually any set of assumptions, Xbox has adequate memory bandwidth to handle 50 Mtris/sec. in real-world use, and usually plenty to hit the pipeline limits of the chip."
no, you don't have to give credit *at all* if you don't wish, as long as you keep the copyrights correct.... GPL does not state you have to give credit. It just a nice thing to do - give credit that is
Wasn't that why they choosed to use Pascal rather than c++ for Delphi? because Borland basically was the only on selling a commercial compilera nd that it wasn't in and standards body, so they could add new syntax, etc??
oh might just be a rumour..

unix didn't have virtual memory back the so your comparison is wrong.

"How could they do any better than Playstation2 did this early?"
just Marketing my friend, marketing. They probaly mean withing the specified timeframe... still just statistics though!

yes, I must admit my productivity increased by several magnitudes since that nifty swadow on the mouse pointer got there....
now, I would definetly mod this one as funny actually...
as the wise men say; Always store your pr0n on journaling FS.
methink NS3 would be better for you.. or perhaps Opera?

doesn't Quincy2000 do code completion??
search for it on www.ddj.com, written by their c++ guy there...

you haven't been to UK then! ;-)
Mind you I think the 'official' standard is the metric system now in the UK.

Just a short Q: what VM was that???
Did you ever consider switching to another VM?
no, you don't have to give credit *at all* if you don't wish, as long as you keep the copyrights correct.... GPL does not state you have to give credit. It just a nice thing to do - give credit that is
true, using KDE 2.1 on a PII-400 with 128MB. No problem really... got mozilla on it as well...
>Why? Because it's pascal!
ah, ok... you *like* it but wont use it? open minded aren't we??
Wasn't that why they choosed to use Pascal rather than c++ for Delphi? because Borland basically was the only on selling a commercial compilera nd that it wasn't in and standards body, so they could add new syntax, etc??
oh might just be a rumour..
