There have been major developments in programming environments over the years. The most significant of these are as follows: vi has been improved, emacs has syntax highlighting, and the Bourne shell has been born again.
A lot of people went on some tangent about these IDE thingies. Don't worry about that, it proved to be totally useless in the end.
This game is a wonderful cooperative experience. I've played most of the way through it with a friend of mine. There are a few parts that are a bit difficult to figure out (mostly jumping puzzles), but it was a ton of fun. It's great to work with the person you are playing with to try and figure out the puzzles.
Wow, if I'd seen that comment out of context, I'd swear it came from an article from Cosmo or some gay relationship magazine. In which case "jumping puzzles" would make you wonder, no?
I live in Portland... I have a one bedroom apartment in the middle of nowhere.
I don't like Portland either, but I wouldn't call it nowhere. I suppose it could just be an appartment in the middle of nowhere, not in Portland. In which case, you should probably consider getting rid of it.
Ouch... -1 dumbass. But I guess when she bought it for me and told me it was kinetic powered it was before I realized I shouldn't believe anything she said.
Oh well. I guess I'll have to buy a real kinetic powered watch and deduct it from her alimony.
Based on my experience, I have a theory that the kinetic watch thing is an evil conspiracy. My wife bought me an expensive Citizen Eco-Drive watch. Ran great for a while, but eventually stopped. The guy from the store told me to put it under a lamp for the night to "recharge" WTF? So, I bring the watch back in to the shop, and they tell me they need to send it to Citizen to be serviced. Worked again, but a year later, same situation. It almost made me wonder if their Eco-Drive device (or whatever it was called) is actually a marketing term for "hidden watch battery that can only be replaced by the company."
Being able to get music legally burned directly from the source would be great. I hope this is a preparation step for getting this type of on demand publishing working. If the Universal deal works out (not that I'm betting it will), this would make a lot of sense for Apple. However, the real benefit would be in making available rare and out of print material. I doubt such material is available digitally at all. Probably tens of thousands of masters on various types of media filed away in various basements across the company. If that's the case, it would be a huge effort to get it all prepared, but I think it'd be a great investment. I'm guessing though that for the first while it would be a selection of a small number of albums that are most popular on the charts. In that case, there is no reason to have an on demand publishing mechanism.
Also, 64 bit chips are not ready for the mainstream market yet. They need more testing, analyzation, and intrepration with an unbiased group of persons as the sample, to make reliable predictions.
Yeah, noonemakes 64 bit chips that are ready to use.
Yes, using destructors is an essential part of all compiled languages. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't learn how to add destructor functions to my structs in C.
I hate to say it, but he's probably an even bigger asshole than the current asshole, albeit 4000 times more intelligent -- but that may just make him more dangerous.
Trying to tweak it to run on a PDA is an excercise in feudalism. The choice could also be bad news for Linux, as people will start to think of the OS as suitable for only small devices.
He, he... this is amusingly wrong in several ways.
I hate to say it, but you should have dropped out and started working while the market was overly hot and they would pay good money for a programmer with demonstrable skill -- degree or no.
That's what I did, and four years later I have enough experience to give me some small kind of security. But then, I also have no degree, so I get filtered by HR that way. Fortunately, I've made enough contacts with people who are willing to vouch for me.
Of course, I'm kicking myself now, as I'm trying to go back to school. But, at least the university is always more than willing to take my tuition check, esp. in the slow market.
Its true, really. Anyone who doubts this can come sit at my desk with me while my company unknowingly pays me to compile and recompile KDE/GNOME/Mozilla/etc. all day.

>> I know there are a lot of people in China, but damn, can that possibly be right?
Yes, you'll know if you've ever been to China. As long as there are that many street corners there are that many distributors.
Use Java if you can. Use .NET if someone pays you more.

Ant includes the chainsaw log viewer/client which uses swing.

The idea of parallel universes gives me some sense of hope, simply because in one of them I must be smart enough to understand parallel universes.
I just happen to live in the one in which the wave functions collapsed into a solution of cant-do-hard-math. That sucks for this one of me.
Hey, that's not a troll. It's the truth. I'll bet this is more true to life than the other, the other this-is-what-I-do posts.
Potentially offensive posts != trolling!
Prudes...
anything but the comforting Mac "bong" would scare the hell out of me
Wow, that's a good use for one of the old one piece Macs. I imagine it's much more stylish than an IBM compatible bong.
I took this to mean that the file formats are saved in MS office format by default, rather than OO format. Just a guess though.
Slide shows without presentation text are always cryptic -- especially when they end with quotes from Job.
Teabagging is amazing, don't you think?"
WTF? Yes, I know about the former name. But still... WTF?

Yeah, no one makes 64 bit chips that are ready to use.

Yes, using destructors is an essential part of all compiled languages. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't learn how to add destructor functions to my structs in C.

You don't need foosball tables anymore. An open desk is a good enough recruiting tool.

I'd bet cold, hard cash that you'll never read news about SourceForge folding here on Slashdot.
Yeah, but only because Slashdot would be folding at the same time.
"...I was wondering if anyone has tried something similar with success. Thanks."
Yes, I've done it. I'll put a tarball on your desktop.
"In a recent survey on gnomedesktop.org an interview about Nautilus was at the top of the wishlist."
Yeah, as in, "I wish it was usable."
(Relax, kidding... kind of)
Oh... Apparently he does.
