Un-memory?? wtf is that?? Good thing it's protected though....

no worries,
yes, I do quite like the chrome keep-each-tab-in-it's-own-process thing. Hopefully it will turn out good, hopefully mozilla is watching!

Hi Troll, hope you're well. regarding V8 and Firefox, TraceMonkey (FF next JS engine, due for FF 3.1 iirc) perform actually slightly better: http://andreasgal.com/2008/09/03/tracemonkey-vs-v8/ You can try it out now in the nightlies.
Then, we (hopefully) got Tamarin coming for FF 4, bit vapour ware-ish at the moment though.
Having said that, Chrome is certanly a very interesting piece of kit. looking forward to check it out in more depth when things settled a bit. Still it's gonna have to be something very nice to make me swap browser though, but who knows?
on an unrelated note, as you seem to have been around these machines, how do they handle any latency by being controlled from the the other side of the globe? also what happens if they're jammed? do they return to base on auto-pilot?
actually, they have, the war of independence, the civil war which wasn't pretty and the war of 1812, against canada/england. Maybe there have been more, dunno...
David Cutler was definetly hired for the kernel. NT had a OS/2 subssystem in it that could run textbased os/2 apps. other part os os/2 were used as well. THing is NT was supposed to be OS/2 3.0 but collabortion between IBM and MS didn't work out as MS wanted to push their windows API. I think wikipedia sums it up quite well (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT)
people have been tending python code since the beginning of the 90's and personally I haven't heard anyone complaining about how hard it is to maintain the code base, rather the opposite. well, am working on my second decade as a programmer, however mostly with languages using curly brackets!;-)
ok,wasting all mods points on this, but what the heck... In python indentation is part of the actual language construct, it forces you to write readable, well indented code as it is needed, as part of the langage itself, in order to make the program work as intended. This is actually a feature in my opinion. i felt like you when I started wtiting python apps, that this whitespace business was something potentially dodgy, but it actually wasn't such a hard thing at all to get used to. and after a while it's actually feel really natural.
I second that. Built a SIP instant messenger for our work on Series 60, It's absolutely horrible, I believe they cleaned it up a abit with v. 9 but i was already gone by then and have never looked back. Someone said they now have python bindings, so all might not be lost....

actually, iirc, mono is compatible with all of .NET 2.0 and quite a bit of 3.5, so they aint that far behind, see: http://www.mono-project.com/FAQ:_General

chill out dude, ever heard about using the right too for the job? pick the langage that helps you most in your problem domain.
c++ might be faster at some things, however, with todays JIT compilers this is not automatically true in all cases, but that's not always of interest.

um, no, the statement in GP was that usa never had fought any war on their own soil, that is not correct.
actually, they have, the war of independence, the civil war which wasn't pretty and the war of 1812, against canada/england. Maybe there have been more, dunno...
nah, from star wars gangsta rap
well, if they are that advanced, maybe they should learn to harvest vacuum energy like everyone else.
... I'll be back...
maybe not absolutely needed but it has certanily helped us here

well, you could tell the GC to collect, bit like carpet bombing I suppose...
it was a bit-wise and, of course!

judging from this (swedish) article in idg.se, they're pretty much toast... They're planning to get rid of 200 of their 370 employees,ouch....
try mochikit. having said that, they both play nicely together, so you can have the best of both worlds
