I've used both, and I find it much easier to manage threads on C++ than Java.
Same here. Too many people extrapolate their own subjective experiences in using different languages as if they were a universally shared thing. Hell I know plenty of Python and Ruby programmers who find Java to be far less productive in their work.
And yet your anecdote doesn't really answer my question. If Java was so fast why do all the high performance libraries for things like multimedia not use it? Even the multimedia classes in Java's own stabdard library use native code libraries under the covers because pure Java would be too slow.
Now yes, multi-threading in C++ is of course possible, but it is much tricker than Java, especially the resource management.
I write multithreaded C++ code with Qt all the time. It is absolutely trivial. What is supposed to be tricky?
Same for speed. Unless you have a brain dead "repeat 1000 times" benchmark, Java is as fast as any other language.
That's funny since those contrived benchmarks are the only ones Java can actually win. Usually because the C++ code is also set to no optimizations. If this were really true why are all the high-performance multimedia, mathematics, etc. libraries all still written in C, C++ or Fortran? That's because Java is still magnitudes slower.
Question yourself - why do relative many people take effort to learn Dvorak, and a large amount of them state they don't want to go back? Is that because it's an inferior layout? Are all those people fooling themselves? Or could it be that 'qwerty is good enough too', and that a learning curve to another layout is long, and in the beginning, pretty steep?
Fallacious argument. This is like saying "Look at all the people converting to Uam and not changing to another religion afterward".
Teddy Roosevelt was a conservative? You're joking, right? Did you hear that from Rush Limbaugh or Fox News? You do know that the Bull Moose Party that he founded was a progressive party, right? Teddy Roosevelt is well known as being a leader in the progressive movement of the early 20th century. To call him a conservative is an absolute joke.
Oh, right, Apple released a 13" model. I forgot about that. Too bad to spec that 13" model up so that it's comparable to a $1000 Windows Ultrabook, you'll be paying $2500.
Bullshit. The 13.3" Asus ZenBook UX31A-DH51 is $1050 on Newegg and has half the RAM, a slower i5 processor as the 13" MacBook Pro.
Asus has recently released some nice products with high DPI displays. The ASUS Zenbook Prime is 1920 x 1080 with a 13.3" screen, which is close, if not better, than the Mac books.
That's only 165 PPI. The 13" Pro is 227 PPI and the 15" is 220 PPI. Unless you use a different version of math than the rest of the world, 165 PPI is not better than either of the other numbers.
Google: Go fuck yourself. You want to drag this out to a lawsuit? We'll see who has deeper pockets and greater political clout. USER FREEDOM, ARRR!
I'm pretty sure Disney, Sony, Viacom, News Corp, Comcast and Time Warner (the parent companies of the MPAA studios) combined beat Google in each of those categories by quite a lot.

Each of us helped make the Humble Bundle brand what it was. It wasn't just me, but I helped. And so did they. Many of us our upset.
All of you seem to be part of an extremely small minority since this outsold 14 of 19 of the past bundles in less than 8 hours. At it's current pace it'll be the second highest bundle by tomorrow.
No, you made some posts that a couple of dozen people probably ever saw. On the other hand, you are acting as if you were the major driving force of popularizing the bundle when probably a 1000th of one percent or less of all donators ever heard of you.
They helped build that brand with my help. I provided them tons of free advertising and word of mouth because of the principles I thought they upheld. They're making a mockery of my effort.
Get over yourself. You're a nobody that had negligible effect on their success.
But...but...he's THE Eric Hopper. How dare you not see how important he is. He practically single-handedly made the Humble Bundle what it is today. Not the founders, or the companies involved, or the people hired to port games, or the 100s of thousands of other donators. Nope, the Humble Bundle is what it is only because of Eric Hopper.
I am happy with them offering both and if we can encourage more, it will help generate some solid numbers that can help break the illusion of whether or not DRM is providing the businesses an advantage when they see DRM free indie games generating respectable or hopefully more income than DRM'd games.
Generating more? Hah! In only 9 hours it's bested 14 of the last 19 bundles and it still has the better part of 13 days left.

I'm afraid I have to disagree.

Why would the success of this have anything to do with the receiver getting a cut? Why would the sender care whether you got part of the money or not?
How does Facebook deserve this money?
Because they say so?
I don't idolize him, but it's still plain wrong to say he was a conservative when he was a major player of the progressive movement.
The GP must have read some alternate version of history when Teddy was an outspoken progressive.

Yes, I read that. So what? I only chose to respond to the incorrect part.
Oh, right, Apple released a 13" model. I forgot about that. Too bad to spec that 13" model up so that it's comparable to a $1000 Windows Ultrabook, you'll be paying $2500.
Bullshit. The 13.3" Asus ZenBook UX31A-DH51 is $1050 on Newegg and has half the RAM, a slower i5 processor as the 13" MacBook Pro.
On consumer, desktop equipment, yes.
The average consumer desktop comes with a 1080p display with a DPI usually in the sub 125 PPI range (17" or higher).
Asus has recently released some nice products with high DPI displays. The ASUS Zenbook Prime is 1920 x 1080 with a 13.3" screen, which is close, if not better, than the Mac books.
That's only 165 PPI. The 13" Pro is 227 PPI and the 15" is 220 PPI. Unless you use a different version of math than the rest of the world, 165 PPI is not better than either of the other numbers.
Yes, a significant amount. Farmville works by spamming your friends to join and send you stuff.

The point was that the whiners are an irrelevant, minuscule minority whilst the vast majority of supporters don't care.
Not so sure about that:

Yes, it's quite obviously photoshopped mardi gras beads.

Because this is like Apple giving Apple ][ computers to schools or Microsoft giving them free Office suites.
So a gift that almost anyone but ungrateful freetards would be overjoyed to receive?

They are? So that's why it's outsold 14 of the last 19 bundles in only 9 hours?
