Did you know that Java is actually compiled? All the case insensitive stuff would be sorted out when producing bytecode. You just need to sort out issues when you have statements lik "eval" where a string, created at runtime, is executed as code (which is the BAD programming practice i was referring to above).
What a quaint, old-fashioned view.:-)
More seriously, the grandparent poster also referred to dynamic loading/linking, which is used a lot and is not normally considered bad practice. It is unreasonable to equate interpreting runtime-generated source code with dynamic loading/linking.
A subtle but important property of pipes and the other classic Unix IPC (Interprocess Communication) is that they require communication between programs to be held down to a level of simplicity that encourages separation of function. Conversely, the result of having no equivalent of the pipe is that programs can only be designed to cooperate by building in full knowledge of each others' internals (p 81, Chapter 3)
It's just as easy to define and use a serialization format for IPC via shared memory as it is do so for IPC via pipes. Sure, if you just copy objects from the stack or heap to shared memory without any abstraction (such as a vtable), then all programs will have to know about the common representation, but that applies equally to stream-based IPC mechanisms such as pipes or sockets.
Honestly, kids, don't bother with this book. Read K &R, Steele, Stevens, Richter, and Stroustrup instead.
Sun is considering removing strict typing from Java as a language requirement, since it was one of the Top 10 things that developers suggested to Sun to make the language more useful.
Strong typing is not necessary. Even Sun believes that. Sorry to disappoint you.
This seems extremely unlikely. Do you have any evidence to support your claim?
But the Howard/LeBlanc is well worth a read. Viega and Messier's book is also extremely useful, and I for one am grateful that they stuck to the Win32 API.
Hanaho's HotRod joystick (an arcade joystick for the PC) ships with a CD "Capcom Coin-Op Classics", which apparently includes 14 Capcom ROMS. See their
FAQ.
For the terminally lazy, the games are:
1941 - Block Block - Commando - Exed Exes - Ghouls'n Ghosts - Magic Sword - Mercs - Sections Z - Side Arms - Son Son - Street Fighter (Hyper Fighting) - Strider - U. N. Squadron - Varth
You can't replace methods with goto statements in Java. Try writing a byte-code verifier that can verify the output of a compiler for a source language with goto.
Yes, but did you notice how you were forced
to introduce new syntax (the underscore) in
your description? Some of
us have plenty of experience with using
languages where whitespace is significant
over the past 20 years, and we're saying
"using whitespace to indicate block structure is not robust, the redundancy of block delimiters is useful."
Is a telezapper an access control mechanism. Yes?
If so, this device sounds like it would violate the DMCA: thou shalt not bugger around with an
access control mechanism.
The Atari 2600 was released in 1977, discontinued in 1984, and support was dropped in 1997, according to Machine-Room.org, a site tracking old computer systems.
Support until 1997? Microsoft won't want us to know about companies that do that. My next OS will be from Atari! Or maybe an Amiga, because it looks there'll be a company called Amiga for the rest of my lifetime.

I agree, that is nice.
Oh wait...
No porn buddy, huh?
You forgot the other possibility, know Lisp and don't like it...
This is bogus:

Very funny, of course.

It's the "Does it run on Linux?" that is modded as Funny, of course. :-)
You really don't know what you are talking about, do you?
Your topos is boring.

That's the more memorable NGSCB to you buddy!
It might suck, but it's bound to be better than AutoMan...
Probably better than the C code of Freshman CS majors...

Right, so concealed handguns are OK, but digital photos are problematic?
Perhaps ordering Anthrax is OK, but you can't do it by FAX? :-)
But, but, but, ..., they promised not to report anyone! That's not fair.
Of course you have to pay taxes on the drugs you sell!
You should have gone into academia, you get paid to do that!

Don't forget one cartridge for bunzip2 and another for the XML parser...
*Choke*. You're under 25, right?
UNCOL!
