They are pretty open to anyone, as long as you aren't an ignorant, uptight redneck. Decent rednecks are welcomed.
In Java the value being passed is either a primitive value(int, float, etc) or an integral value that points to the object.
Why so many people get confused over a basic concept is something I will never understand.
You know how math dumbs down the defintion of a function as the vertical line test? Well, here is a dumbed down test for pass by value vs pass by reference:
If you can swap values in an array like this:
swap(Type arg1, Type arg2) {
Type temp = arg1;
arg1 = arg2;
arg2 = temp;
}
the language, at the very least, supports pass by reference. If it can't, it is pass by value.
Stop going to the movie theater. Why spend all that money on a remake of a reboot of a remake of a ripped off story line?
I haven't set foot in a movie theater in at least 10 years and am better off for it.
Same for airlines, I haven't flown anywhere since 1998 and did it then under protest.
Stop supporting these business that rip you off.
And they are still independent, hence an indie studio. Just because they are big enough to push MS around doesn't make them dependent, does it? You have an odd definition on indie.
Indie doesn't necessarily mean small and weak, it means independent.
When Trent Reznor ditched his label, his two releases(Ghosts and The Slip) were independent, hence nin was an indie band. I am not sure if there upcoming record is being released independently or not.
Considering that most "AAA" titles are repetitive and just copies of previous games your comments are funny.
Ninja Gaiden is a better game than 95% of the "AAA" titles in the past 10 years.
If they are dumb enough to use any Google service they are dumb enough to fall for this.
They don't have to be discrete anymore because their users have proven to be willing marks.
Yeah, last time I checked Cisco supports cycles in VLAN's which is mathematically incompatible with graph theory which is what helps keep networking sane
.
Makes it incompatible with every other switch.
.
They are also about 2-3 times more expensive than quality, protocol following stuff like, um I guess Foundry is Brocade now or whatever. It has been a few years since I had to do some consulting for a research based MAN. For $30,0000 their Big Iron was on par with the $125000 solution a Cisco whore quoted me.
.
The sad thing was that so many companies in the area that are Cisco slaves and have a financial interest in the MAN that I actually had to spend, no waste time adding Cisco into the mix, just because they were are terrified of upsetting Cisco and having them get back at them the next time they have to go genuflect in front of Cisco and resign support contracts.
.
They knew that Foundry was the best bet given all technical and financial constraints, but they actually feared a report from me that didn't even consider them. The MAN had to be able to extend into 5 University networks, the local symphony orchestra network(seriously, they do cool stuff with their network), a building that hosts and helps various startups, some supercomputers, and future unknown networks. Most were Cisco but a few had Foundry gear and at least one had some 3Com stuff. No way that a central switch in a star topology would work with Cisco gear, at least with out a significant investment of time and money.
.
And people willingly lock themselves into Cisco, simply amazing. Microsoft is downright angelic compared to the vile demons at Cisco.
There is so much fail and fallacy in your post.
The amount of money actually lost to piracy is miniscule and may actually produce more revenue due to people using cracks as demos. The fact that DRM gets cracked, usually before the game goes retail never seems to register with the idiotic MBA's running game companies.
The implementation is flawed and the idea is fail.
DRM is an idiotic move that helps no one.
Java is an overloaded identifier -- Java is a pretty bad, overly verbose language that requires way to much boilerplate with a more easily parseable grammar than C++.
A somewhat messy but fairly usable standard library, but thankfully the Apache Foundation has better libs for Java.
A virtual machine with as many security holes as any other runtime, but has first class runtime native code compilation, and a bunch of incomprehensible frameworks stacked on top.
It also supports multiple languages(especially Java 7) that are superior to Java in every way: Clojure(lisp), Scala(Haskell and OCaml had a child), Ruby-and stays pretty much up to date and matches features except for the few that Java can't deal with(continuations, gain and drop privileges at will), and sort of Python, but is lagging far, far behind mainline Python. There are also laughably bad languages for the JVM, like Groovy(and PHP allegedly, but nothing cna save that turd), but that is hardly the fault of the JVM.
I never really liked Java until I started writing for Android -- which is not Java, but I love non-sequiters.
In my CS program there was always on average about 8 women in the program at any given time(and about 50 guys).
Only 1 was equal to the top guys, she was absolutely brilliant. Maybe 2 were mediocre and the rest sucked and washed out.
That is far worse % than men in general.
Yeah, it is a small sample but my post-college experiences have showed me that that ratio of excellent male CS to women was about right.
Who really gives a fuck if more women go into this field? What possible positive will it bring?
If anything CS standards need to double or even triple. No one in my program that wasn't at least a B+ student was even a moderately capable programmer. They just banged on their code until it compiled, and even asking them to produce code that would compile was like asking them to fly.
Google is a spyware company. Everything they do involves collecting as much data as they can.
My ISP(CenturyLink) told the Bush adminstration(as Qwest) to come back with a warrant when they asked the telecoms to spy on everyone. They never did.
The have no interest in the stupid 6 strikes program.
I pay $16.00 a month for a rock solid 20 Mbps connection.
Lighter does not mean less code, depending on your definition of lighter.
Sure you can use less code, but it will probably be slower.
Time vs space
What is faster bubble sort or quick sort? Which takes much more code to implement?
Answer to both: quick sort
Why would I want to run 12 year old hardware? Sure if I have it laying around I could run a headless Linux OS and use it as storage for all my media, but other than that what possible reason is there to want to run a modern OS on such an ancient system?
I run 5 year old hardware that was fairly high-end then and runs everything today fine and I could build an identical copy of it today for not much more than 12 year old hardware.
My opensuse 12.3 with KDE 10 idles at around 400 MB and that is with all the bells and whistles turned on. Not terribly bloated. I can cut it way down my killing akonadi and its bastard children and the 3D effects without any loss of functionality, which of course raises the question: "If it doesn't add functionality or improve productivity why enable it?"
What this means is for someone who listens to music and does everything in a browser a system with 512 MB will run just fine, assuming a decent processor of course. Let's see Windows 7 or 8 do that.
You should be railing against MS for producing truly bloated operating systems not desktop environments like KDE which manage just fine on years-old low-end hardware.
Technical ignorance is a virtue these days, I guess.
Sockatume, this is the most stupid thing I have read all week.
I award you the Hairyfeet weekly award for extremely dumbassity.
Congrats
I knows several small companies that run their own servers. The rent a little space in a local colocation service, put up two or three servers throw it behind something like Untangle and done. It is not expensive, difficult or time consuming.
These are all small SaaS shops amd have zero downtime and no security issues.
Paying for a hosting is not always the most cost effective route. A host isn't going to secure your apps, a host is going to pass the cost of supporting idiots that are constantly calling/emailing them to you/ A host might oversell, not do anything about someone else bogging the server and network down. A host will give you a one size fits most solution, not a custom solution(at least without paying huge)

Java is pass by value, with no exceptions.
It uses the exact same passing mechanism as C.
In Java the value being passed is either a primitive value(int, float, etc) or an integral value that points to the object.
Why so many people get confused over a basic concept is something I will never understand.

the language, at the very least, supports pass by reference. If it can't, it is pass by value.
Everyone confused about passing semantics should read this: http://javadude.com/articles/passbyvalue.htm
Python, Ruby and Lisp are all strongly typed. C is not strongly typed, why didn't it make your list? Perhaps you meant statically typed?

You don't think Sony lost anything during that? No customers left, no customers scared off, nothing?

Funny Unix has made the distiction between local and remote seamless for decades now.
Think mainframe with the option of having distributed mainframes.

PCI-express is still slower than it would be if video were integrated into the CPU so his point is valid even if his idea is likely unworkable.
