Clue was a phenomenal comedy with great dialogue and flawless timing. Such a great cast: Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, Eileen Brennan, Tim Curry, Leslie Ann Warren, Michael McKean, Martin Mull, Colleen Camp, and Howard Hessman. Jane Wiedlin even makes an appearance as a singing telegram, one of a couple cameos in the movie.
This is exactly what I was getting at. He basically said, 'I use Java so I don't have to know how a computer actually works.'
This is the same type of person that sets buffers to 255 cause he thinks that will be big enough for anything. There is absolutely no excuse for buffer overruns, but they happen because people take this mindset.
Perhaps if trained maybe he could code circles around me. But he said he uses Java so he doesn't have to learn how memory management actually works, this is an idiotic programmer, and this is why we were like 'later'. That is why I was bagging on him, and I said in my post that is the reason I hate Java, because I keep running into people who say much along the same lines.
Java as a tool, just fine. Different tools for different things. As long as people aren't using a "safe" language to make up for lack of knowledge on how a computer operates.
Here is a tip, DO NOT use VB or Java/J++, use a real language.
Visual Basic is an abortion and you deserve whatever you get for writing anything in it. Visual Basic is a "look! anyone can program now" craptastic PoS. Yeah if you need to whip up a quick UI prototype with some basic functionality, it will do. But don't actually use it in a product.
Java sucks simply cause of this conversation I once had with someone wanting to work at the company I was at, and we had a booth at a trade fair.
Me: "Do you know any C/C++?"
Job Seeker: "No, only been using Java"
Our Recruiter: "Well we might be interested in someone with alot of Java experience. But you would need to learn C/C++. We would be concerned about how good you are with pointers, buffers, and memory cleanup"
Job Seeker: "That is why I use Java, you don't have to worry about it"
Me: "Oh, well have a nice day, move along now"
Job Seeker moves along looking somewhat confused. The recruiter and I look at each other and just shake our heads.

Show gnomercy!
Um that was dripping with sarcasm by the way...
Figured that would be obvious with the 400 post addressing it already. Too subtle I guess.
That noone has addressed this yet:
"With digital cameras at regular stores with resolution over 5 megapixel it makes you wonder why it took so long to produce."
Anyone have an answer?
Jack Flak always escapes!

I am tired of the evil-eye that the Man on the Moon has been giving me.
Oh yay, just what we need, more laws.

If you can't make a Windows machine stable enough to run Neverwinter Nights, you should give your computer away.
