Its like of call-by-values for objects forcing you to do nothing but call by references are really great in tracking bugs for newbie programmers.
And no child parent object support but rather super class and two layers of classes underneath it where you can't access methods in the super class after all 3 are created are great as well.
Java is a perfect language that is nothing but a joy to stare out for hours and hours everday.... Can't wait to get my CPA so I can leave the programming field... cries
MY name is James Taylor and I clicked on your link and then the web went down all by itself!
It was taking over by a hostile native american terrorist organization called apache running on Gentoo gnu/linux. Damit hacker! I need to call the FBI over and sue you for this.
I haven't used FreeBSD for awhile but occasionally I have had to search for packages because some ports would not compile or would sig11. It was not often but I used FreeBSD as a desktop and installed a ton of software on it.
I used to be a FBSD fanatic. 5.0 turned me off and 6.0 made me leave. Its I/O and threading is slower than 4.x and its much less stable not to mention my hardware worked fine with 4.x but has issued with 5.x and higher. Strange indeed?
Linux has improved with low latency timers in the kernel which make it alot faster than earlier versions. Version 2.4 and FBSD 4.x it was a no brainer on which was faster and that was FBSD. But times are changing.
I was under the impression the %60 Vista rewrite and the delay had to do with the fact that the rewritten code was trashed and the old buggy code is going to be used instead?
I am A+ certified and did system administration work in the past. I can't find any job doing support that pays more than $8.50/hr. I am worth at least $15/hr elsewhere in moderately priced areas of the country.
The only jobs taht pay $10/hr are call centers and they are not for anyone who wants to keep their sanity.
Still web developers here in Tampa only make $11/hr where they are worth 25-30k elsewhere in the country.
Were you canned? I did tech support for AOL 9shudder) and you would have security escort you off the building if you did that.
If it helps after 90 days of starting I hung up on another idiot after I had 3 in a row with a full 40 minute handle time. I quit right there and then because it was a firable offense to hangup even if it gets to the point where you can't do your job. I decided I couldn't with such retards and rediculous rules and pressure.
Respect is earned and call centers dont allow anyone to get respect so they are frequently yelled at as a result. In the real world such customers would be showed the door.
Who says Linux developers can look at MS code? MS is not being sued. They are so only they get to be taken advantage of.
Not to mention Linus wont let any linux developer even look at the SCO code. Because it will taint the kernel and give sco lawyers ammo in court. So the ms code will be useless as ms can use it again later to sue again.
You do know your very post violates several patents. Fonts on a webpage is already patented, true type fonts are patented, hell the letter a is patented as well on a computer screen.
Katz who used to be an editor here wrote that slashdot itself violates 6 patents just for displaying text. Its insane!
Should we sue for that too? Where do we stop? We violate many many patents everday because the system is out of control.
Even respiration is patentable since the genes that create the proteins involved at the cellular level are patented by some biotech company. I think the company should sue everyone since they are stealing money away from the shareholders?
Do you think windows is infringement free on any software patents? I think not
How about Linux customers and webhosting on the web.
Imagine the fud being spewed if Linux and apache dropped %50 in one year and IIS/Windows jumped %50 and became a monopoly overnight almost in the server arena?
This would cause a mass exodus in corporate America to switch to.net and windows because its where the herd is going.
MS could file an injection to halt kernel.org and close linux distributions. This would be a nightmare as well.
My guess is solarisx86 would be the next thing and wwe would all be using BSD by now if it were not for the injection by AT&T to halt distribution for 2 years. I have heard of FreeBSD long before Linux.
But you can bet the MS auditors will threaten to sue your employer if they find any linux or unix boxes in the computer room.
And if you installed it guess what? You can kiss your job goodbye.
This is not fud but intimidation and its quite powerful as those will be tempted to always use a Microsoft solution for fear of the MS and BSA auditors who check EULA compliancy.
I guess it will turn into "nobody ever got fired for using Microsoft products"
Gnu creates boundaries but in different ways from EULA commercial software.
For example I can not take the source code and use it without giving my source, nor can I use the source code for a tiny section of a big project and only give out a section of the code used. I would have to opensource teh whole thing.
BSD licenses and the apache license set the boundaries differently and in some circles are viewed upon as more free. The BSD one requires you to mention UC @ Berkely and has strange clauses to advertising of the software.
As a former owner of a 91 Honda Civic I think the brand name is overated.
I had nothing but problems when it aged compared to Ford's and other less reliable cars with similiar mileage.
Sure the problems showed after 100k miles but when you put in more money than the car is worth its time to give it a funeral and trash it.
My Honda hit that point at only 133k miles while my friends' Nissans and Fords didnt hit that point till 260k and 190k respectively. I kept my Civic thinking it would be the last repair until I became $3000 in debt and sold it for $200 when it only had 170k miles. It needed $1100 worth of work and had a bluebook value of $650.
I do not think I trust the brand name of any vehicle regardless of hype after that.
Right now its so bad that I would say there is no game market left on the mac.
Besides some Blizzard games I do not know of any that run on the mac. Is doom3 even finished on the mac yet? I dont own a mac so I dont know, but it came out in 2003.
I think its time for mac gamers to just give up at this point sadly until things change. At least booting windows gives them a chance to keep their macs.
DirectX was made on purpose to kill Apple. Alex st. John who used to be a collumnist and ex-microsoft developer mentioned this. It worked!
With proprietary directx its nearly impossible without a whole rewrite to the mac. In Vista even Opengl is crippled and passed through a directx wrapper using direct3d. So there is SDL but its quite primptive.
Until Apple opensources their api for 3d and multimedia this wont change and developers will simply look at the cost of a game rewrite that has %4 of the market. Just not worth the investment.
Or if Apple is serious about being a player in the home media market they should buy Nintendo. I believe they still use powerpc chips and Apple could make a macmini dvr/game system.
Microsoft mentioned it was due to security designs in Vista.
I doubt though that something so integrated into windows explorer can be seperated and reprogrammed into a seperate application within the extra 2 months.
Its alot of work not to mention may break many applications. For example cdroms that use autoplay sometimes display html and javascript in the windows explorer menu in a seperate pane. I suppose you could reprogram windows explorer to just call an IE7.dll to display it.
But Microsoft was found guilty of merging IE into a million libraries so third party apps would not function without IE and infact required it. Even a command prompt program that uses strings requires IE as a result.
Thank god I am not on the windows development team.
Its about control and setting standards. Whoever sets standards decides who purchases software. MS wants to chose for the bussiness and not the other way around. Look at the damage the internet did by introducing open standards? It brought unix and Linux when it was beggining to leave the enterprise.
This is "just in case Novel comes up with something in the future".
Anything that uses NDS is out of the question since no ones uses it anymore and it makes sure any Novel future product will not hurt MS as much.
Why leave if its better and cheaper to administrate?
People wonder why Windows remains king over Linux and I think its corporate America's view that one vendor should decide everything for them as a way to cut down on costs. Meanwhile they are being robbed and price gouged.
Have you seen the price of MS Office? What is Apple's office suite? $79?
They get what they deserve. I just hope the rest of the world such as Europe and South America dont drink the MS coolaid as much.
Just say no to TCP/IP, BSD UNIX, WWW, the Internet, FTP, and many algorithms used for smp systems and servers.
If it were not for uncle sam you would be paying $50 a month for AOL or CompUserve on a dialup modem with no interent nor innovation.
The government is not that evil in doing things like setting standards and funding research that private industry can't do because of their need to generate profits.
I have no problem with academia sponsoring OpenBSD because it will help everyone including business and personal use. OpenSSH is the result of free software and so is the web and apache.
Its not that evil folks and the government is not always bad. Sometimes its needed because the industry can't help itself.
Slashdot Mirror
I dont know that www.meatspin.com like the guy above mentioned is pretty bad and its sister link mudfull is NASTY!
I bet it will now take years of therapy before having sex again.
www.tubgirl.com is still up.
Yes, its non worksafe folks and its equally as disgusting... be warned.

I need java and opengl. So NetBSD is not an option
Also my netgear nic is not supported.
I haven't used FreeBSD for awhile but occasionally I have had to search for packages because some ports would not compile or would sig11. It was not often but I used FreeBSD as a desktop and installed a ton of software on it.
Are you sure that applies to FBSD 5.x and above?
I used to be a FBSD fanatic. 5.0 turned me off and 6.0 made me leave. Its I/O and threading is slower than 4.x and its much less stable not to mention my hardware worked fine with 4.x but has issued with 5.x and higher. Strange indeed?

Years ago slashdot editor Katz wrote a silly entry about patents. Basically the letter a used in a font is already patented.
Infact you broke patent laws just by replying to this post. Probably a half a dozen.
You can not and I mean can not ever develop a software product that does not infringe on some patent.
Do you think Microsoft Windows is infringement free? I think not.
If Linux developers follow patent laws it would not be an operating sytem or even usable.
Its a serious problem.

My neighbor had one and had nothing but problems. Engine died after only 25k miles.
However I think he is a racer and perhaps he raced it when it had under 1200 miles. It would not surpise me.
