And given how poorly Oracle has handled Java as a platform, it's future is becoming questionable.
That is so true, they shipped Java 7 with a shipload of bugs, I stumble upon one today. And I am pretty sure that i am not the only one as there was a guy in a Minecraft complaining about the same exception.
They have killed a lots of cool research project that I cared about, Microsoft would have funded them as they would have originated from there Microsoft Research Labs. I miss Sun; I might switch to the Microsoft completely and byte the C# apple. Almost all the good library from Java are ported. And it seems that since Windows 7 they have taken the conscious decision to stop sucking.
But that is not to say that Netbeans is bad. It's really good. It's just not Intellisense. It has it small problems and long-term problems. The small one is that it is too Java-centric. It attempts to use an AST for C++. Which is all fine and good except it doesn't know how to handle "friend".
According to this https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=179205 it is supposed to be fixed since 6.7 but I did not test it so... I hate Oracle so much that I would not be surprised that they reintroduce it on purpose.
that is so true. I know C99 and C++ (but I did use C++ since 2001) and they are quite different.
And C++ only takes year to master if you try to know all the obscure corner case. If you don't abuse the template system as a turning complete language interpreted by the compiler, use operator overloading in a limited way, avoid reinterpret_cast, use variable scope for memory allocation and shared_ptr from boost when you really have to have a new, it is a fine language.
We sniff for XP SP2 by looking at the presence of SV1 in the end of the user agent string and almost half of them don't have it. This is strongly correlated to pirated copy of windows.
We sniff for SP2 or win2000 by looking at the presence of SV1 in the end of the user agent string and almost half of them don't have it. This is strongly correlated to pirated copy of windows.
at my institution we dropped ie6 this years because the percentage of web browser visiting us with it were below 2% however they accounted for 35% of the complains directed at the web team. So you mostly have whiner and people with pirated software on ie6 so why would you want to serve that kind of clientele is a mystery to me.
It has nothing to do with the18 wheeler, i should have quoted you to clarify witch point I was responding to:
You've entirely missed the point. We can fairly easily synthesize all the oil we need for non-fuel purposes NOW. It's not that hard, and it's not even all that inefficient. Saving oil for "the value of the chemicals in it" is not necessary.
I guess that you never saw a road being constructed....
Why exactly does a battery have to pose a greater explosion risk than the same amount of energy stored in gasoline
The rate at witch you can release the energy, to have an explosion with gasoline it needs to be atomized with a lithium battery you only need an impact at the right place but short-circuit wont do it since all lithium battery that I know of have a controller to prevent that.
Yes, completely converting our civilization to non-hydrocarbon energy would be very difficult right this very moment
At this very moment it is impossible but I agree that we should limit the burning of this precious liquid. but not for the greenness of it but because of the value of the chemicals in it.
Damn I feel like a petrol shill because I defend the importance of oil.
You need to move an awful lot's of supports to run civilization. Would you like to see a 18weelers powered by a battery as huge as a small car that could erase a whole city block if it explode or a nuclear powered freight train ?
What value does Exxon bring that would be lost if they closed tomorrow? Anything?
You would lose a 25% return on capital used company and you would lose about 4.4millions barrels of oil a day. I you lose apple you only lose a company sitting on cash that produce finished product without doing any fundamental R&D.
you don't have the nice mix of complex hydrocarbons formed under high pressure that are so valuable to the chemical industry, however you could replace tar sand oil with it.
the issue is that it's never efficient to do so compared to getting it out of the ground
no, it is not just less efficient, it isalmost always has a negative energy balance.
But if we were given a magical device with 100x the energy of all our current sources, we could just afford to fabricate oil and whatever the end products are from veggies and such.
no, before the software there always is hardware, I know about relay based logic and this date back to 1920 in academia and 1930s on production line. I am pretty sure that I am not the only one to know about that. Without software the only truly important thing that would be missing is the INTERNET....
Without oil we have no modern civilization. Even if you could somehow replace all the energy produce from oil, you will still need it for: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, plastics and others various organics chemicals. The modern world depends on oil even more than it dose on software.
Dr. Bob, I must correct you on that, the protein from the liver and the brain of calves are the best for intellectual works, as they come with an healthy dose of B complex vitamin and all the lipotropics choline and inositol you brain's crave for.
My first experience with the web was in 1994 at sherbrooke u, my mon was working there and she had access to a 486dx4 100 equipped with nsca mosaic and trumpet winsock.
My first search was on yahoo, I search for the Mona Lisa and I found tits. My mom was outraged but I was delighted. I then persuaded her to allow my to on the web and find the real Louvre picture. Next years, after 9 month of begging I received as a gift 60hr of INTERNET by month, my only restriction was no child porn and no bestiality, I never violated those sane restrictions and I regularly thanks my parents to have allowed my to come on the Internet at such a young age.
You know what I use to think your way. I still remember how to write windows 98 vxd in MASM. I have hacked linux on two 486 with 16MB of RAM in 1998 to make a tunnel to play Diablo with my friends. And you know what, I am now the senior Java architect at my place. Business software writing sucks, most of the time, but the job stability, the pay and the pension plan are way better.
What next, are you going to suggest that you can have people fire guns up into the air and call that a a civil protest?
It used to be that way if you go back a couple of 50 years. It was also a form of celebration much like it is now in the ass backward part of the middle east.

netbeans is a quite powerful c++ IDE and contrary to VS it is multi-platform. Have a look at that http://netbeans.org/images_www/v7/screenshots/cnd.png

Fixed that for me
I don't know why I typed or windows2000.

this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Benzene_uses.png, it is the basis of a great deal of chemical that are really hard to manufacture otherwise

Ok then, if I missed your point please find me a process not oil based that can generate 50 000 barrel a day of benzene efficiently.
18 wheeler are silly things to start with

If you use a long enough time line I must concede that your right.
You need to move an awful lot's of supports to run civilization. Would you like to see a 18weelers powered by a battery as huge as a small car that could erase a whole city block if it explode or a nuclear powered freight train ?
thanks anon, but no need to be that abusive. Hence the anonymity I guess.

it was sincere, it is just a reification that price != worth.
you get "Oil"- sweet crude
you don't have the nice mix of complex hydrocarbons formed under high pressure that are so valuable to the chemical industry, however you could replace tar sand oil with it.

True but requires a magical device....

This is ridiculous !

thank you, I love slahdot for comment likes yours
, preferably from vegan sources.
