    Yeah, I don't understand why people fights over language when everybody should know that Turing Machines are the True Way and everything else shall be heresy.

    PCI 2.1 cards must be able to share IRQs. W98 had problems with IRQs and plug & play but from Windows 2000 share IRQs seems to work allright. The problem usually are bad written and old drivers. I had problems until upgraded most drivers.

  6. Re:My views on mono on Mono 2.8 Released · · Score: 5, Funny

    The open source communities have largely embraced java even though sun still imposes some restrictions through licensing. This has had a large negative effect on the spread of some java technologies (like JAI or java3D not being available on macOS).

    And .Mono will be much more open, yes! And it will we as widespread as, like, GNUStep, and the next version will be more stable and feature-wise than Java 1.4.2 (because it's a second generation and Java just fourth). And it will be more portable than J2me and more scalable than J2ee. And will bring peace and love to mankind.
    And when .Net and .Mono will meet .Net will say "I am your father...It is pointless to resist, my son". And .Mono will answer "I will not fight you, Father. I've got to save you.".

    That never stoped Microsoft. They make marketing of products years ahead of actual release days. Like windows 95, NT, Longhorn, etc. When the products finally came people already know a lot about them.

    If you have 100s of K per login it almost certainly isn't the platforms fault, and it probably isn't the developer's fault either - all that memory must be going to customize content for the user

    Then throw the user away, that's the faulty component. Or give him fixed, ugly content so he doesn't come back. Oh wait, the user is paying the job...

  15. Re:Look what it's competeing against. on Phillip Greenspun: Java == SUV · · Score: 1

    I work with C and C++ a lot and know more of C than Perl. Python I know a lot less. Yes, you can do the same things, but C IS more complicated with strings. Memory handling issues, pointers, etc. This complexity sums to overall complexity, and for most applications you don't need so fined grain control over the bytes.
    Now look at the other side, larger proyects, with distributed transactions, sql to different databases, separate code from presentation. Java is there, C isn't.

  16. Re:Look what it's competeing against. on Phillip Greenspun: Java == SUV · · Score: 1

    I disagree. If you have to do more things than in language X it means more effort. I understand pointers all right, but almost any other language makes it easier to process text strings than C.
    I wrote a few small CGI some time ago, but when coming to large, complex sites C isn't the right tool.

    I totally agree with you.

  18. Re:Look what it's competeing against. on Phillip Greenspun: Java == SUV · · Score: 1

    C/C++ can be used to make web pages (like CGI) but I wouldn't use it for that purpose. Too much trouble, difficult to program, to debug and to secure.

    Besides, there are ActiveX controls written in C/C++ that perform the same basic functionality of applets.

    ActiveX have their own problems that make them suck, for different reasons than java applets.

    You may need a little more to customize settings but other than having to tweak a little with the mod_jk2 settings in apache it work as is. (not a programming problem, the documentation of mod_jk2 still isn't clear).
