You'd need a coherent architecture for a start. State models coming out yer ears. And preferably tool support. I think if you attempt to hack anything more than trivial in this then you're asking for trouble.
The synchronous Ada rendezvous model is looking more and more like a stroke of genius.
Looked at their terms and conditions a while ago when it came up on a newsgroup I'm no longer subscribed to. Firstly, you become part of a P2P advertising network. Then they can change their T & Cs by altering their website and your continued use of their product means you've accepted their new terms. No, thankyou.
When I mentioned this on the newsgroup their answer was "But it's free". Hence why I'm no longer subscribed.
Variables can be limited to the scope of tasks. Or pools of tasks can manipulate data scoped to packages. And for cross-task mutation there are entries (i.e. message passing) or protected types (i.e. locking) or pragma Atomic (if you're brave).
Not to mention generics that don't make your head explode. And Ada 2005 finally added object.Method notation.
Should never happen as in if you do overrun the bounds of the array you've declared then an exception is raised. Or if you declare a subtype with range 0 to 3 and try to assign 4 to a variable of that type then an exception is raised.
And if the normal Ada facilities aren't enough then there's a subset of the language called SPARK that is even safer.
I find it hard to imagine how they decided to use C on the Pathfinder mission given that Lockheed Martin is well known to have data suggesting you're much more productive in Ada. And they're CMM level 5!
Incidentally, and this is quite true, one of the lawyers for Microsoft summarised their case like this: "We are Microsoft. We are the good guys. So what we want to do is right."
Something freaky happened on that day. I woke up in the middle of the night because the light in our bedroom was on. Flicking the light switch didn't turn off the bulb and so I just went back to bed puzzled and a little scared something had shorted. But in the morning the light worked again.
Mmm, maybe it had something to do with the big hole they found in the universe recently?
p.eu isn't allowed as it's a single letter. I tried on the first day they were available. I did manage to get un-pn though. Couldn't believe it at the time.
There may be no cpu fan but you still need a case fan. I know this from experience. Even with quiet case fans there's still a noticeable hum from these systems. Makes me want to explore water cooling.
In a rare move, the Commission on Friday also published information detailing the role of its monitoring trustee....
"It's not the kind of normal thing we do, but we have done so because Microsoft is alleging the trustee acted in an inappropriate manner in terms of contacting other companies," said Jonathan Todd, a spokesman for the Commission. "We wanted to make crystal clear that he is obligated to be proactive."
These refer to this disclosure . Checkmate, I think.
The repercussions of withdrawl from the EU would be immense. And not just in the EU. Governments all over the world would start sweating and looking for alternatives. Opensource take-up would rocket. Reverse engineering firms would spring up like weeds in Europe.
MS have to feed their ecosystem. Cutting off blood to the left leg leads to instability!
Islamo-Fascist countries in the Middle East have government-run media that portrays western culture negatively.
You've just attacked two of their neighbours, one with no just cause.
Regardless how you feel about the US, we are a free country
Freedom is only for Americans. The rest of us get held in Guantanamo.
in fact the majority of the media is liberal and anti-establishment.
And owned by giant media companies who favour profit. The revolution will not be televised.
In these countries both sides are never reported and the government engages in one-sided anti-Western journalism. Rumsfield is simply talking about the US Govt responding to OTHERS propoganda, and you can add BBC to that list.
Thankyou. You've made me feel proud to be British. I'd add the Guardian to your list.
When American forces were using white phosphorus on Fallujah, how many American news organisations reported on it? There would have been a bright white lifgt visible for miles. If a tree falls in the wood but there's nobody there to see it, did it happen? I found out on the Internet and that my friends is how the revolution is happening.
I hope it was the X server that caused that sharp intake. Otherwise I can't imagine what they do if they found out that most planes' control systems are written in Ada.
Bingo. I've been saying this since mid December. No consoles in the shop means customers buy other consoles. And they can't even sell out the piddling few they sent to Japan. If PS3 comes out soon, it's going to kick Xbox360s butt.
I bought 2 Nintendo DS for the kids for xmas. The games are fantastic. If I buy a console (I have a PC and am currently playing Civ 4, the best selling game on all formats on Amazon over xmas) then it'll be a Revolution. Isn't it all about the games after all?
Things are progressing nicely. First it was cleaning the toilet with Doh-MS-Dos and now they've moved on to the kitchen floor. Predicting ahead, I look forward to them introducing GLADE pluggins.
I think the OP has hit it on the head. This is a shallow marketing ploy to get PSP in the news before it's European launch. Oh look, Slashdot fell for it.
I for one won't be buying one because of the UMD disks, the fact that they'll come with version 2 firmware installed and my recently acquired hostile attitude to all things Sony due to the Fiona Apple affair. Heh, I may just buy a DS on 1st Sptember so I can abuse anyone buying a PSP.
Next time you've worked hard on something for over a year, think you've done a really good job and produced something fresh and innovative, please come and see me so that I can leave it on my shelf for a year and a half and then make you go back and do it again, only this time with an eye on the money.
And your reply would have been more interesting if it had replied to the point I was making about your country having undue influence over the working of my country. If I'd been PrimeMinister and Bush had told me we needed biometric passports I'd have told him to go screw himself and make our tourists/businessmen apply for visas and stand in line. Truely we would become more European overnight.
Indeed. I'm hoping this interference will influence MPs to kick the bill out altogether. After all the real reason we're getting them in the first place is because the US requires them for entry. And now we're required to buy them from a US supplier? It's the last straw (oh, a pun; not intended).
They do not integrate well with the community. I have an EPIA board. I use debian which is not one of the supported distros. I have to rely on Ivor Hewitt's reverse engineered modules. Also they do not acknowlede the existence of the unichrome project, only their own insecure SDK. It's a real shame; they could be so much further ahead in the game and now they have real competition.
There was a note on the front of the Guardian yesterday about their ciculation. 377K copies a day but 10.5 million unique users of their website.
There's also a trend that papers over here in the UK are moving from broadsheet to tabloid format to save money.
Given this and the competition from mobile phones, 24 hour TV news channels and the net, I think daily papers are coming to the end of their useful lives. I still like to sit with a paper at the weekend though.

Binary only linux software? Pffft.
Didn't you mention Ada earlier?

because of Sony musics refusal to release Fiona Apple's Extraordinary Machine. I've created a pledge at pledgebank so like-minded people can join me.

You have a novel definition of De-Militarised Zone.
