GP is right, Android is like cheap toilet paper. If you really care about saving money and trees then it's great, but for most of us the whole sandpaper effect just doesn't cut it.
I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't read Slashdot that did regret getting an Android phone. It seems like the stats bear that out.
Yes! With one simple install you can make your whole infrastructure; the code your engineers spent so much time writing and maintaining; the third-party software you bought; your support contacts; in fact your whole business - stop.
Highly recommended!
(or was your comment a joke, in the not-funny sense?)
wait, GCC has a library that allows you to compile code on the fly, inspect the syntax and symbols of the results, load it into the calling process and execute it?
I think Microsoft understands the risks involved with allowing self-concealing malware to be released in its compiler - corporate death to the tune of >$230B. Nothing could possibly drive developers and customers from their platform faster than if such a thing were to happen. Indeed, it's in their vested interested to ensure that such a thing doesn't happen.
Does GCC have such a risk? Even if the project were to die because of such a thing what would anyone lose beyond a little pride?
what a sorry place we've come to as a species if every time someone has the drive, passion and concentration required to do something extraordinary like this they're labeled as having some kind of disorder.
Michelangelo? Asperger's definitely, right?
At least this guy's not some spaz that can't sit still for more than 10 seconds...
minecraft isn't for you. at least, not yet. it's for people who are able to conceive their own goals, and derive satisfaction from achieving those goals. people who understand there's more to the game than someone arbitrarily turning around and saying, "oh, that's it, you won!"

guys, stop confusing this with SaaS, the Java compiler API, GCC plugins, etc...
Just watch the damn video!
wait, the java compiler API will give you data-flow analysis on the code you give it?
no, the java compiler API is a thin wrapper around the compiler driver. little more than popen() with some support for file redirection.
Roslyn is a whole new beast.
just watch the video and learn.
yeah, it's just like plugins, however it's different in almost every conceivable way.
wait, GCC has a library that allows you to compile code on the fly, inspect the syntax and symbols of the results, load it into the calling process and execute it?
Here's the code from the video (42:00):
static void Main (string [] args) {
ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngine ();
Session session = Session.Create ();
engine.Execute ("using System;", session);
engine.Execute ("int Sqr(int x) { return x * x; }", session);
var f = (Func<int, int>) engine.Execute ("new Func<int, int> (Sqr);", session);
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)
Console.WriteLine (f(i));
}
if GCC can do something like that, i'd love to see it.
wait, I don't get your logic.

That is interesting, isn't it?
Ok, so cluster = cloud now? Even though they both serve very different purposes?
no, a cluster is a bunch of machines working together. the 'cloud' is purely a means to acquire funding from ADHD investors.
'fluffy' is the new 'shiny'
wait, was all that supposed to make some kind of sense?
err... I think you missed the point a little. Well, quite a bit, actually.

i hope you bought at $350...
it already dropped 5% to a low of $350 in after-hours trading, then steadied at ~$357.
"mee too" for FileHippo.com. their update checker rocks.
curious, my copy of 'Transition' was written by Iain M. Banks.
why does everything sci-fi have to be a remake, re-imagining, sequel or prequel?
seriously, aren't there any writers in Hollywood with imaginations any more, or even the chops to do a decent book adaptation?
incomprehensible dialog, and scenes with people and aliens standing around not saying anything.
George Lucas already did that - they're called the prequels.
oh no?
enron?
i'd agree with that except it's clear that there is NO rule of law here: the police have shown themselves to be incompetent/complicit in this case.

i think your creativity must be way beyond mine if you can derive all that from what i said.

kinda like life, really.
