If you a concer with legal liability, Slashdot, or any online forum, is the last place you should go. There are all kinds of ways you can screw yourself by a carelessly worded reference. Trust me, you don't want the usual Slashdot opinions, rumors, and rules of thumb
What if it needs to be *really fast* and *developed really fast* but the project is huge? You write it in Java and see where the bottlenecks are. Then you take those small portions and write them in the compiled language of your choice.
the poster didn't mention ImageMagik... perhaps he was using Java APIs, or something else enitrely. Almost anything would be better, and, judging from the poster's comment, he probably knows that.
many languages allow you to treat procedures as data. there is no difference between the two. and almost all software requires other software. the wrongheadedness of this debate is mind boggling.

actually, some of the more interesting ECMAscript I've seen has been in Flash. Since there's a standard, uniform object model, people get crazy. There's some pretty interesting stuff around.
OOP is really just a somewhat formalized kind of way of dealing with abstraction and data encapsulation.
OOP is one way of doing this. The question the poster needs to ask himself is whether he needs to maintain state in his programs. Many engineering problems do not require this. If he doesn't need to maintain state, then OOP is needless overhead.
So you're saying that they designed with this problem in mind, yet somehow forgot to include any contingency/comparison code? Would this be a problem if they weren't trying to webify every legacy application?? No. Basically they're trying use their terrible three letter suffix system on the URL, which may not be an MS filesystem. The damn thing even reads cgi strings as files, if there's an extension at the end of it.
I've always wondered why people fail to noticed that following nielson's recommendations will cause your site to look like shit. There is room on the web for all kinds of content, and it doesn't need to be accessible to everyone. There are many pages in foreign languages that I don't understand, but so what. Nielson reminds me of swiss modernist graphic design. Easy to use and ugly really, but also totalitarian.
I think the problem that people here have with flash is that it moves the web away from something that's maintained by a D&D playing webmaster who wears birkenstocks.
QT is a superior product in many ways and it has every possibility of becoming a media platform if of itself. M$ knows this and it scares the hell out of them.
Microsoft knows it has the possibility of becoming a media platform. It doesn't really scare them at all. They're good baby knifers.
its not displacing photoshop because free software could never contain the patented/proprietary parts in photoshop. some of isn't even owned by adobe... LZW, PANTONE, Heidelburg CMM, etc
Everything in the parent is correct, except that it leaves out a key fact:
Any shop that has fair amount of maya seats won't care whether you know maya or not. They'll take a look at how you draw. If they think you're a good artist they'll teach how to use whatever program they want you to use. Nobody ever got a job because "maya" was on their resume. Especially if the word "maya" means that you used it college.
If anything C# takes some of the goofy aspects of Java, such as the interoperation with properties via methods, and cleans them up to make an abstract behind the scenes property handling system (ripped straight from Delphi's object pascal I would guess).
Why is this approach better and less goofy? I'm not familiar with object pascal, but this approach sounds like it would lead to spaghetti.

So don't take any of the above poster's advice.

you were modded down because you are not the gamemaster.

hahahahahahaha
"Open and Free" has nothing to do with the amount you pay. Especially for a service.
"having time-to-market be a larger issue than software reuse"
how about a constraint called time-to-version-2.0? The real race happens then, when market expectations and wishes are more apparent.
is there a keyboard shortcut to prevent katz stories from appearing?
Blade 100s are cheap anyway.
why must there be a pustule popping out of every comment. grey puss, green puss, red puss. Can we turn it off entirely?
BrettGlass is an M$ apologist and anit-GPL troll. He is also a tireless rebutter.

Consider DNS, a distributed database.
OK.

If you want to know the truth, read the parent post. But replace the words "hardcore gamer" with "total loser."

if this systray app makes everything transparent, shouldn't I be able to see through to an inner dog turd or something?

nice.
and what's with the title? Shouldn't it be Snake's Revenge Solid?
She didn't get what she wanted for her birthday, but when "your system" started crashing at least she got what she wanted for the day after.
