I have the entire series in VHS in japanese, english subtitles for a long time, and want to have them in spanish, or, if it isnt possible, with spanish subtitles.
Wonder how many people have the same request for other languages.
C++ 100% source code multiplatform compatibility ?
Its possible, and indeed very nice and FAST AS HELL. Also, the GUI API is way better than the Java one. If you need that, then you should use wxWindows.
The advantages of using Java are others, and have almost nothing to do with GUI and source code compatibility IMO. The best that Java has is serialization of objects. I can send full instances of objects through sockets over the net, save this objects to files and read them again, even in other OS, and it works very well. Implementing that in C++ is a pain.
Garbage Collection? in a real program you should open files, and remember to close that files, open sockets and remember to close those sockets, etc. You should keep track of the resources you open and C++ destructors are for that. Remember: Java finalization is not guaranteed.
I already see the computers as entertainment devices. But the main difference with TVs and radios is that computers can make (preprogrammed) decisions and they can make communications in more than one way.
Current media technologies just focus in the one-way entertainment content. You listen music, but don't sing it, and your friends don't listen to you singing. You see films, but you don't appear in them, and nobody is looking you.
But Internet and computers enable a multi-way entertainment content.
Just remember why some very smart and imaginative people like too much the Role-playing games, using sheets of paper and so on. And of course! the holodeck!
The future of entertaining will be much more like the evolution from text based adventures towards today 3d first person shooters or the sims. It's the chat what will evolve.
People will be addicted to interactive fantasies in the future just like they are addicted to tv. And whoever can make this interactive content the right way will be the next multibillion industry.
How many of us will pay money for seeing something as good as LoTR and be the protagonist?
(and don't have any clue of what's next!)
To me, the real pain about having a HD icon is to have to use it. The point is, the users shouldnt have to worry about its contents.
Ive had word files in "program files", huge folders of documents with no order and so on.
Whats the solution? well, the files must be saved in a database like file system, and the end user (not the admin) should not have direct access to the file system.
"Show me the word docs Ive used the last week" should then be more easy to answer for the system. I think that designing an interface that can answer this easily, almost naturally is more important that multiple desktops. Yes, that kind of information is possible, but not naturally, and not easy to explain to non tech people.
For example, the recent documents feature should have several historials for diferent types of documents, and some documents must never be added at all (like these hidden.jpgs) and these settings should be easily changed on the run.
And a user should never be able to locate the programs folders, its not only not having write access to these folders, but not access at all, these things only confuses them.
There is always a way to start a normal app without using the filesystem directly.
About speed, something like norton commander o midnight commander is the best, IMO.

...I need some one to blame!!
.NET, I mean, mono.
KDE is my historical uber-enemy !!!
Ohh almost forgot, I still have
buaaaaaaaahahahahhaaaa
... because you will be just like them.
In the other hand, knowing your enemy and knowing yourself is the only way of win.
AND, in the other hand, dont we code just for fun? Why to worry about business?
Yes he broke the law, he has almost no moral sense. And he deserves the jail.
But please, Im living in Colombia and its full of people like you, who thinks that assuming the problem is somewhere else it will just dissapear.
This is no wasteland and I will help things improve with what I can do.
