I've been using VC++ Express 2008 and was excited to get an upgrade. But instead I was surprised by a few seemingly "dumb" moves:
1. The default fonts for the editor and tool windows have been changed to a font that looks very blurry on Windows XP. To change them back, you have to change them one by one for every window.
2. The drag'n Drop capability to add buttons to the tool bars is gone. You have to find the button from another dialog and then click "MoveUp/Down" several times to move it to the place you want.
3. The GUI I used the most in the Option Dialog, the directories of Exe/Include/Lib, is moved to a place that I haven't yet found.
4. The startup time is much longer than that of 2008.
5. The new GUI has a high contrast. Maybe it's just me, but after staring at it for a long time, I feel like I am starting to see ghost images.
Well, if the hacker put his function at address 0, to deference any NULL pointer would effectively be calling that function, assuming this memory mapping really works.
If you need to convert one high level language to another, there is something seriously wrong with one of them, or both. Also can you convert how threading is done?
It's easier to read as it is closer to an English sentence, like space between words, no uppercase in the middle of the sentence. I don't know about typing though as my typing is far from being that advanced.
Javascript does not do low level graphics operations like drawing lines or filling gradients, while flash does. Among open standards, the closest equivalent to flash is SVG, not javascript. Native calls are indeed slow compared to desktops, and adding a script language on top of that would be too much.
"I expect China will disassemble, reverse engineer, and then copy these vehicles en masse" Oh yeah, if we copy you we'll always be one step behind, or be misled. Nice strategy though.
Do C, C++, and Objective C have equal library support? say there is a cool feature, can it be used in either of the languages with about the same performance and convenience? I'd hate to jump too many hoops just because of my language choice.
"the fundamental problem is the TIMER/EVENT"
That's worth an insightful mod. And there is no way adobe can change that baring a total rewrite, which I believe, is not really a bad idea for adobe.

If one site has to get confidential info from another size, it must be https. That shouldn't be too hard to do.
OK, you rephrased it the best.
hmm, it should be any NULL *function* pointer.

Yeah, shouldn't switch be easily take care of by a base register?
Are you sure? I heard firefox's gonna use direct2d, which is not available on XP.
Let them learning some serious programming and they will forget about all these MMO in no time.
But two brakes are no joke. When I was learning driving, the extra brake was a life saver.
If you look at the world at the atomic level, every thing is beautifully structured.

“obtuse, difficult to maintain, esoteric software stack” aka, a command line.
Grouping is indeed very important. Although print_string_with_format is more natural, string_print_with_format can group all string function together.
The traditional C way is names like strcpy, sprintf, etc. But would names like string_copy, string_print_with_format be better?
Flash handles graphics a lots. Don't know much about iPhone but my impression about Window Mobile is that graphics API calls are extremely slow.

try what again? I know what pre-processor does. I just don't see the reason to criticize Java for long names.
You are making a Greek tragedy out of this. Java was a marketing idea from the beginning. He is not as visionary as you might think.
Well, how long is too long? Even in C code you can use long names without having to resort to MACROS to save typing.
Who not go to college? Java is a very good language for learning programming.
"With flash, applications can be downloaded and run on demand inside a browser." Or you can just write a C/C++ app and run without flash or a browser.
