Given the stated requirements, Ada 95 should be in the trade space. Only downside I can think of is that while there are several vendors for the Windows side, I am only aware of a single vendor for a Linux Ada 95 compiler (www.gnat.com).
You can download a non-supported version (windows and Linux) from ftp://ftp.cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat or wait a few weeks for gcc 3.1 to be released (since the Ada 95 GNAT backend will now be included)
They don't have to post the source..They just have to make it available.. GPL does not require source to be distributed at the same time as binary (although you invoke the third party rule if it is not)
I think you meant to say
All your accounts are belong to us...Sheez, I can't believe I wasted what little karma I have pointing out the lack of standard slashdot lingo in a comment.
Wow..Run for 2 years...By that standard one
would have to assume that Windows NT is a hoax
since I have never seen a windows box even approach that much uptime.
Actually, plenty of vendors upgrade/patch older
versions even though new versions are out. Just a week or two ago MS released a new security patch for Windows 95. By any reasonable versioning standards, this does indeed change the version of the windows OS I sometimes run since a version should uniquely identify the configuration.
So, whether or not the parent of this message was indented to be a troll or a genuine question it still based on incorrect assumptions.
Every time I see one of these patents that obvious, I get the urge to try to submit a patent for "An error resitant approach to online shopping - Multi-click". The idea behind the patent would be to extend the Amazon one-click patent to require clicking more than once to buy something to avoid getting orders by mistake. As I understand Patent law it is ok to build on another patent it just means that if I sell the rights I for mine I have to get rights to the base patent first. In any case Amazon would own one-click but I would own all of the rest of the online shopping scene.
Then I wake up to reality and go back to work.. It is fun to dream though.
This warning has to be written by some Microsoft
Zealot that it trying to show that Linux as issues too. The simple fact here is that there is NO bug in Linux or Apache required for this thing
to infect you. Code Red was using a bug/exploit
in a Microsoft product. This program uses a
bug in users heads. These users have to be root
to be really scary. These users probably have to
run a mime decoder to get the executable. They have to run the program (that makes no promise of
seeing Anna Kornacova so why would any geek waste their time).
I suppose it depends on what the meaning of the
word "is" is but indeed I still find Java too
slow. Granted I am running on an old Pentium II 350 but even with the latest JVM and JIT technology it has failed to impress me. Granted there are plenty of applications where Java even in its current state is fast enough and at some point in the near future the quality of the native Java compilers and optimizers will probably reach that of other OO languages such as Ada 95 or C++... However, that day has not yet arrived.
