Wow dude. That document is going to confuse the fuck out of all those Visual Basic programmers after Microsoft deprecates their language.
How is this deep level of generics gonna be realized in the Common Language Runtime? Or are these features just available in C#? And, if so, won't that break all the.NET libraries?
i'm about a third of the way through the doc and it made me realize how much i hate reading language specs.
That being said, the idea of "inference" of type arguments seems cool and usable, if not a bit abusable.
I don't know if its just me, but when did templates get cool again? I love templates in C++ and its interesting that java's introducing them and C# now is really focusing on them. That being said, i can't see a place where Partial types (where you can break a classes implementation into move than one class) could be really so usefull.
One thing i couldn't get over with C# is that its *so* much like C++, with all the syntax, keywords and such but with none of the speed. At work i'll use java to do simple stuff i could have done in C++ only cause java's just simpler. If java had the mass of features that C# has, i prolly wouldn't ever use them. but, then again, i'm a dba.
Not harrasement? are you serious? Not for you and me mabye, but for my elderly parents for sure. The've been conned, harrassed and threatened into purchasing non-refundable goods like cruises, flights and exercise equipment 3 times this year, my mind can't even fucking walk man, and is not in her right mind either.
She does, however, have a chequebook (well, had) and ever tried to a refund from these people?
Did you know that all these people need is your parents chequing account number and ABA routing number (an the bottom of you checks) to make a withdrawl from your account?
Fortunately, NACHA, the National Automated Clearing House Association has in the last few years made it incredibly easy to force a no-authorization (known as an R07 or R10) and subsequent refund for you, and 35 dollar penalty to the telemarketer on a fraudulently obtained chequing account number.
These people annoy us in our right minds, but prey on our elderly parents, and for that i signed both my parents numbers up, for what its worth.
One of the things that makes Linux a poor target for virus writers is an almost bewildering array of platforms, kernels and architectures. System binaries are often in different places even on the same distribution, depending on whether you are using package management or compiling source and sometimes run as different users.
I've seen about 5 diffenent schemes for laying out apache on the disk and i bet theres tonnes more. and i've seen some old solaris admins that move to linux feel the need to move important binaries into/etc.
there are alot of reasons why linux has less viruses than windows and none of them have to do with marketshare or bad admins. That being said, i wonder if it couldn't hurt to fuck with your filesystems just in case i'm wrong...
I loved the HC11, with its Serial peripheral interface and the AD/DA converters.
Really, the assembler language was great and 10 years or so ago you could get EVBU kits with the Buffalo environment loaded into EPROm on the board for, what, 50 bucks.
I have a nephew who's learning them in a Microcontrollers class. Great chip in my opinion.
Sounds a little like how those big iron mainframes run - virtualized os's playing together managed by hardware to a certain degree.
Seems like another case of technology history repeating itself. Still, the idea is fantastic although i don't see how a company like microsoft in the article can really benifit from it.
oh fuck... i clicked submit too quick.. i meant to say that my advise would be Go to Canada: They will pay you to mess around with unprofitable ideas well, except for the poor provinces... they don't care.
Up in Canada, the federal Science and Research Council of Canada looks fondly on open source projects, at least the agent i dealt with. They (he) felt that the 'openness' of a project such as this would in some ways achieve what a patent in the field was meant to do, and the dole out generous tax and research grants, even on the likely failure of a project, and (better yet) with little consideration for the commercial viability of the project.
As far as know, the company has to be incorporated in Canada, but typically for Canada doesn't have to be entirely Canadian.
Additionally, many provinces, (BC, AB and Ontario... plus Quebec IIRC) offer substantial tax grants on your revenues, which i always thought was a stupid as you likely won't have much revenue during your strictly research years, but for anyone who's ever paid Canadian taxes any little bit helps.
Could this be used to establish ssh tunneling from clients to the AP? That would, in my eyes, be far preferable to the somewhat lacking link security that 802.11 offers today.
For sure, i bet it would be a simple hack to the cross-comiling build script for mips found here to include a suitable build of sshd. Oh, and if you do let me know i'd wouldn't mind a copy.;)
I couldn't agree more. Until Microsoft provides some kind of wizard in Visual Studio that provides insight to a developer in three easy steps i'm afraid.NET, however well implemented will unfortunately remain as hard to develop enterprise software.
Funny how 95% of PC users have Windows, I wonder why a Virus writer would want to target Windows??!? Perhaps that is why so many exploits are found, because people are targeting it religously, start targeting Mac and Linux as much and see who is insecure
Actually, virus writers write virii targetting windows machines because windows machines are easy targets, not because there are so many licenses sold.
According to Netcraft's site survey only a quarter of active sites run Windows leaving the bulk of the public internet running on *nix.
I suspect much of the 95% of PCs you speak of are safely walled up in institutions, schools and corporations private networks, which are generally out of scope for a worm like blaster to target.
Now koniosis, what you should impress you is that *nix's run the majority of public sites on the internet, (those sites most easily attacked, i might add) with a marked minority of serious compromises as compared to Windows. More sites, less bugs. Simple.
Finally, only a Microsoft employee could think that its justified that the amount of embarrasing code compromises grow proportionally to desktop marketshare.
In September of this year a set of FDA guidelines called 21CFRPart11 will start being enforced. These guidelines govern the way electronic documents are stored and validated in the Bio-Pharma industries.
While still a very interpretive document, it does specify that the software used in the electronic Submission of new drugs to the FDA to be held in escrow (presumabily the source as well). This makes OpenSource products very attractive to the submission departments of large Bio-Pharma companies.
notice the subtlety at which larry navigates through the trying events of our time.
Larry - Do you consider yourself an actor or a wrestler? Rock - Uh. Well, i act and i wrestle, so i guess i'd be both. Larry - Nice, nice. Were you sad when Owen Hart passed away? Rock - Uh. Well, yes i was. Larry - Nice, nice. Now tell me about 9-11. Rock - Uh. Well, it was really terrible. Larry - Yes. That it was. [pause] The movie is the Scorpio King by universal. The man, Dwayne Johnson. We'll be back in a moment.
This proves Larry King is still in posession of journalisms' most inappropriate (and strangly unconfortable) seugeways.
The rest of the hour long interview has a slightly confused Rock answering (well, i might add) a string of strange, offtopic questions about race, wrestling, Republicanism and Arnold Schwarzenegger fired off by the perpetually half-asleep larry king.

Seriously, you can't seriously improve a language by telling people how to program with it.
So true... if it wasn't we'd all be programming Visual Basic for a living.
I'm still trying to figure out what this fucking window keys does.
oh... nevermind.
