  6. uh ? on Cringely: OS X on Intel · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Unlike Linux and Windows OS developers, Mac OS developers don't have to worry about every pre 1990 ISA soundblaster compatable card, periphial, and motherboard
    I think you have absolutely no idea of how things are engineered nowadays. Did you ever hear of something called "layers" ?
    My audio application programmer doesn't have to know shit about pre 1990 ISA soundblaster compat i ble card. That's the task either of creative labs, either of my OS provider. Like it's not the task of the internet exploder team to support my modem, and in the opposite direction it's not the task of my telco to tell what email client to use.

    The trick is easy : add a P html tag, and fill an attribute, like "align" with "legal" text. Put more of the same in your comment. That's how OOG_THE_CAVEMAN (who demanded OOGA_THE_CAVEGIRL by carving "WILL YOU MARRY ME" into a fishhead) passes by the moronic lameness filter.

  11. Re:dll hell on What is .NET? · · Score: 1

    Or another solution to DLL hell : keep the hell off the original DLL. Put you stinking extentions in *your* binary, or in *your* additional DLL, don't touch the original DLL. If there something wrong about the original DLL, don't use it. Most of the time, DLL extending is due to not understanding the original.

  12. dll hell on What is .NET? · · Score: 1
    from the article
    It eliminates ".dll hell". Multiple versions of "the same" assembly can co-exist in the GAC, which means that libraries no longer have to maintain backwards compatibility with their predecessors, and that a program will always get the version it's expecting. This can be done even within the same program -- if you have a web server, you can run multiple versions of the same application within it, side-by-side.
    Uh ? That is a decent solution ? Wasn't the goal of DLLs, like any dynamic library system, to gather a bunch of much used functions in order to save place on the HD and/or in memory ? If each application wants to run a different version of the DLL, shouldn't they use *static* libraries instead ? Obviously we waste time with dynamically linking those *different* DLLs each time (OK not that much), so static linking would be more interesting.

    PoolState poolState = pool.getPoolState();
    This is poor OO. as it's a method of class Pool, we KNOW it's the poolstate we're gonna get.
    Besides, suppose you then add a jacuzzi and do jacuzzi.getJacuzziState(), I wish you very much fun in writing a function that checks the state of each. Not that it's hard, only not very nice.
    I suggest you rename getPoolState() getState(). This way, it will be much easier to abstract the API later for your jacuzzi.

    100mpg carburetor
    Well let me see : 100 mpg must be about 4.5 liter / 160 km = 2.8 liter / 100 km (that's how europeans measure it).

    IIRC, the volkswagen Lupo (a commercially available car) does about 3 liter / 100 km, so while pretty nifty, it doesn't look impossible.

    And it's 'carburator'.
