    Don't you people know ANYTHING? FIRST the robots must kill 99,99% in a maniac frenzy of destruction, THEN the survivors will get the flying cars.
    Oh and YOU are not in the list of survivors.

    So you don't believe in defending your principles but in following the flow. "Hey, they are killing people, why me not?"

    At least some scifi writers are scientists. People goes more for pseudoscience. "I want to believe", the X Files motto, is what a religious fanatical would want, not someone searching for the truth.

    Sadly 1984 seems to become a reality even while in a democracy, because most people doesn't care about what is going on.

    The thing is, that "more intelligent" or "just better" often gives better fitness.

    But being inteligent enough to do nuclear or biological massive destruction weapons may lead to just the end of your race, so it may lead to lesser fitness, isn't it?

    It is far more likely that little white mice will evolve into larger intelligent creatures than humanity going the opposite route, even given extremely radical environmental changes.

    Changes are random like cosmic ray altering dna, if one survives them enough to breed there's nothing preventing such an evolution happening. Perhaps fast breeding mouses have more chance of survival than humans in some environment not so far from this.

    Evolution is change and adaption to environment, there's nothing about it being positive or accelerating. That is a common myth in that mankind evolutions to a "higher" state being. Our race could evolution to small white mouses for all we know.

    Many Web designers don't have deep knowledge and experience in data coding but want to get started serving up dynamic Web pages.

  12. Re:The IDE Issue... on Java Application Development on Linux · · Score: 1

    that doesn't mean that I can't have something that is not exactly java which will be turned into jave. JSP

    I was talking about pure Java sources.

    Preprocessor does not mean just #ifdef and #define although there are valid reasons for using cpp with java.

    While is possible to use preprocesing with Java sources I can't imagine right now a need to do so. That doesn't mean there aren't, just I don't know one. If using one is valid is a case of common sense. What I wouldn't call a valid use is to use preprocessing for the same reasons that C programs (for portability, macros). That use means one isn't programming rightly in Java.

    There is an extension/plugin/whatever that allows using activex in mozilla. I don't remember what is called, so you will need to do some googling. It should be noted that is obviously insecure.

    Then the coders should have sold Firefox instead of given it under a licence that allows free use. It seems that they only expect at most voluntary donations, which are by definition, voluntary.

    Sun doesn't do all the ports. For OSX is Apple who does, probably licencing from Sun, the same for AS/400 and other IBM's big irons is IBM who does the work. And so for other platforms, Sun doesn't port for every cellphone just for the like of it. It's the cellphone maker who does the port to give theirs user more functionality.

  25. Re:Interface vs implementation, shared libraries, on Abandoning Header Files? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, my point is that having separate definition/declaration files is useless and redundant. You can have the docs generated or -at least in java- can have the exact prototypes generated from the binaries. There's no technical need to includes nor is needed for documentation. That's why I like it better the Java/Delphi way than C/C++ #includes.
