Depends on who you believe about the ownership of Taiwan, the Americans, the Taiwanese or the Chinese.
China refuses to recognise Taiwan as an independant country.
The Taiwanese think they are an independant country.
The Americans, who are always right, think that China is silly, and that Taiwan definately is a new sta.. erm.. its own country.
Nah, you apply an initial resistance to the sphere so that you dont have this problem. Plus, if you made the sphere large enough you wouldnt notice the inclined sides when you walked.
It would mean, however, that objects and external influences to your motion would also have to "feed back" into the sphere, which could be tricky. Hmm..
One what? Whole object. Why is it a whole object? We categorise it as being one, even though it is probably devisible into lots more objects.
We discover patterns in the universe, not mathematics. We use mathematics to describe the relationship between "things", because it helps us to predict, determine and categorise. But its still abstract, numbers dont actually mean anything in themselves unless they are applied.
or to put it another way:
We discover patterns and our categorisation system of mathematics just helps us describe those patterns in chunks our tiny brains can understand...
I'd just like to address these points on your interesting post (well, at least it was interesting to me:)
No reliable destructors, so you cannot use the "resource acquisition is a constructor and resource release is a destructor" idiom that is so useful in C++. This idiom is useful because it allows you to remove opportunities for error from your program (you can't forget to release a resource).
You do not need to do it. Java ?never? forgets to deallocate the resource anyway when its not needed anymore. Why do you want belt *and* braces when braces will hold your trousers up anyway?
- Java is a "police state" language, meaning that its designers have decided that they are smarter than everyone else, so they will dictate the programming style everyone has to use.(snip)
The java programmers have not decided that they are smarter, they were working with an agenda in mind. That agenda was to remove the reliance on such things as pointers which can kludge up code on different platforms.
For example, all functions must be class members, all exceptions that may be thrown (except for RuntimeException and Error) have to be declared with a throws clause, etc.(snip)
There are good reasons also to be object oriented fully in a languages nature - it teaches good programming practice. Exceptions are a good way of determining that something illegal has happened without knocking out the entire app. Many times I've thanked the JVM for not knocking out an Java application completely that i'm trying to use.
Apart from that, i tend to agree with what you are saying. All I can say is they must of had a reason to do it this way..
Ps, the stooopid mistake that guy made with the by reference and by value mix up just goes to show there are people who know squat out there. God save us all.
Hogswash!
One of my main dislikes about C and C++ was that header files could float around like dead fish at the top of a pond. Which contains what function prototypes and what definitions? Theres only so much a filename can tell you, and if you've got a large project you have to search for ages to find the right info. Javadoc does this all for you, you know exactly what a class does and why it does it.
As for using multiple inheritance, read this and see why its not a good idea before you slag something off you dont understand.
Ack, flamebait. oh well.
I myself am using java in commercial applications. So your point falls over, and I dismiss your bait offhand as a cocky over reaction trying to ruffle feathers.
Now please foad. Thankyou.

Now all you've got to do is emulate sitting/leaning on this virtual wall, rather than sitting/leaning through it.

And bumping into it.

To be picky,

1 = concept of there being one.

Wouldnt an infinately recurring "big bang" solution work just as well as a multiverse one?

Why dont we just all agree on one computer platform to use? If we all had the same computer, all this talk wouldnt be necessary at all.
:)

Lets all throw away macs, pcs and sparcs and do all our coding on a commodore 64
ahh.. I miss the old days..
