You might have a point, I don't know much about that path. However what I saw is you can't get a software developer job, you have to have a degree. You can't underbid. You a need a degree, and an exact match of technologies. (i.e. you know Postgresql and MySql but no Oracle, then SOL) Because otherwise HR will filter you out. And most startups died in the financial crisis (location: Hungary). So you always have to go through HR.
" There are things to do in C/C++ that are trivial, that take some real creativity in Java or Python without invoking the C/C++. "
And you've got wrapper generators for exactly those times. (Or use Lua + alien ) Both Java and Pyhton are glue languages. It's just Python is comfier in the command line while Java in the IDE.
I very much like the HIB, but they've turned down quite a few game developers who would have liked like to join. (They didn't name them.) So I guess, if you've an average quality game, going the traditional way is better. Just like how the FOSS model only works for a select few companies.
The read errors are statistical phenomena, and it also depends on where which direction the head is moving*, so there's no point using dd. dd won't preserve the original's physical features, so a lot of (ambigous) data is lost.

They might have been lying, but how much sense would it make to try to run applications that were designed with the mouse and the keyboard in mind on tablets?
" they do not say "desktop applications" and the reason is that people were assuming that they would make the desktop applications source code portable."
You can run Metro application both on the tablet and on the desktop, so what's your point?
Slashdot Mirror
It sounds like OLE reinvented for the web.
You mean like Java WebStart? /ducks
However Scala is just as hard to use as Haskell. People don't want to become type lawyers. The Java/C# way is better, offering best of both worlds.
And we Hungarians know that Kafka was a realist writer.

Totally agree. It's not the 90ies anymore.
Except in boolean logic.

Java is verbose because it's a statically typed language without type inference, duh! ( You know, like C or C++ or C# )
Java was better than Cobol to start with, and considering it hasn't changed in the last 6 years means it didn't get any worse.

I have seen too many promising projects sunk because of lack of attention. The press is only intrested in polished products.
Because they don't have enough money for marketing?
Also, this idea seems a bit risky. I don't think I would like to gamble my parents' house on such an idea.
And who would "change tape" in your brain when it's full?
"Criminal gangs usually only care about profit"
I thought that are corporations. Now I'm confused.

Google products being beta is not news. Tell me when it's out of beta.
It adds overhead just like government.
Hiding from Google Streetview in your mom's basement.
Then I guess you don't use anti-virus software.
Oh, it's mainstream so it's no longer cool.
That turncoat Steve Ballmer totally sold out his anarcho-syndicalist principles.
On the other hand, I will really miss Reversi.
It's also a great way to breed resistant strains of syphilis (and other bacteria).
Totally agree.
