Why is it so wrong for me to admit that I don't know!!!
I don't know how the universe was formed, I don't know how life on this planet started, and I admit it! And yet, some how that makes me a bad person WTF???
Why should it matter to me how the universe started? it has no impact on my life. It dosn't. I do belive in things, I belive in the goodness of humanity, I belive that you should do all you can to ease the suffering of another human. And, at, the very least, I belive that I don't know how the universe started.
You should have respect for people who belive that the earth was spawned by a giant chicken labled "Trump Universe Farm", beacuse that idea is no less stupid then the one presented in the bible.
I looked at the facts, and I looked at what I saw around me, And I made a desision. The truly lazy person is someone who never bothers to think for themselves. To call me lazy, beacuse I admit that I don't know somthing that is imposible to know is the absolute in arrogance.
I don't think thats right, beacuse the word for 'bite' in chinese is "Yau" in the 3rd tone, or "ding" in the 4th. (zhongwen.com ). I do remember hearing that though.
beacuse DVD Dosn't stand for Digital Versatile Disc. Infact it dosn't mean anything. Beacuse of the argument over Video and versatile, the meaning was striped. DVD dosn't stand for anything.
Actualy, in China, Coca Cola is called "Cuh-Co-Cuh-La", It means "good tasting-joy" or somthing. I remember reading that they had to 'tweak' the name a bit, but They ended up with somthing good, I guess.

Is weakness. witch is exactly what intel wanted to convey. Celerons are ment to be cheap chips for people who cant afford a real computer. Never mind that you can clock the hell out of 'em, and that in almost any application it ether comes within 5%, or beats a pIII (128k catch, but its full core spead)
Anyway, I prefer calling the OS line-ucks, even though I always refer to Linus as Linn-us. And speaking of Linn-us, hes stated that he dosn't care how people pronouce it, so why should anyone else?
As for my choices of lame-ass product names, any new car of the past decade pretty much qualifies! Tercel, etc.
The Tercels came out in the 90s? Shit, my moms been driving around a 1984 Tercel for years!!!!
I don't mind the name so much, infact I have one (a 97, quite nice and speedy). Toyota revamped there product line for 2k, and they got rid of it. Now we've got the crapy looking 'echo'
. Compare using exceptions to simply returning 0 or 1 from a procedure. Which seems more simple to
Yeh, but then compare the code that you have to write to check for that value? and what if you want to write a function to somthing that would be able to return a 1 or 0 in normal use like 'readbyte()' or somthing? Exseptions are really a lot simpler.
Anyway, as far as simplicy goes, calling things like whatever.funciton() to manipulate somthing works a lot better then struct manipulating functions. And polymorphism really helps to, when you can derive classes that use simillar functionality, you can use the same code on them, instaid of rewriteing it.
Yes, C++ can be slower then C, but it is simpiler
how come so few succesful open source projects make use of them?
Its impossible to write under 20 lines of Java. That verbose beast can't do anything useful in under 100 lines. so.. what you're saying is, that youre an idiot?
Java, at most, adds about 2 extra lines to a program, if youre going to do somthing proceduarly (Just make a class that corrosponds to the global scope).
You're also going to cut down the total number of lines in a large projectt
Well, I don't know about the other guy. but I use OO, and I can't stand not using it (I learned with OO (Teach yourself Borland TurboC++ 4.5 for win3.1 in 21 days, freshman year of HS:), everything else seems completly counterintuative)
Ha! OO programs are typically just as large as procedural ones. You've demonstrated nothing.
Did you read his post? He sad Java not C++, Java is really a lot simpler, and quicker. I wrote an entire IRC client in 800 lines of java, try that in C. (you could enter any room you wanted, and chat. All that was missing was OP commands (kick, ban, etc))
No its not. Just make a single class with a big, fat main() member. Put all the other procedures in seperate functions, not to difficult. I don't know *why* you'd want to do that, but you can. (Just like you can fake OO in C with structs (no polymorphism though:( ))

I agree with you completly about Java.
However, that dosn't change the fact that most HTML Still worked 99% of the time on both browsers...

Well it does look like that, however read the caption in the image on that page
Two of the greatest companies the world has ever seen come together to form the world's newest: DaimlerChrysler.
DC is a very new company, I remember hearing about the merger on TV last year.
I don't think thats right, beacuse the word for 'bite' in chinese is "Yau" in the 3rd tone, or "ding" in the 4th. ( zhongwen.com ). I do remember hearing that though.
Isn't slashdot made in perl? so how could there be binarys?
When I first saw it, I thought it said "Ezemia", and it reminded me of the word "enima"...
You're forgetting the worst product name of all time...
Exsept it's been discussed about 10 times already... so, while it is a bad name, it has not been forgotton.
Integrated Electronics.

I think I may be sick...
The graphics chips handle 256bits of data in a cycle, also the memory bus is 256 bits, I think...

You do relize that people don't speak Latin in Mexco or anywhere else for that matter. They speak Spanish. Where 'Va' means go, and 'No' means no.
nova = nogo. its a direct translation.
I believe Daimler continued doing small auto stuff (maybe custom cars?), then joined with Chrysler later...
I'm not sure about that. DaimlerChrysler was formed in 1998.
You agree with the post you're repling to :)

oh well... I'm getting pretty far offtopic...
Was toyota named after a person?
"Linux" is a trademark of Linus Torvalds. If he wanted to change it, I'm sure he could (though, I don't know why he would...)
I read that a while ago, someone linked to it in a post. One of the funnyest things I've ever read.
:P
I registerd the name 'jamcracker' at slashdot after I read that

Have you ever actualy Used java?
In Java, its OO or nothing.
No its not. Just make a single class with a big, fat main() member. Put all the other procedures in seperate functions, not to difficult. I don't know *why* you'd want to do that, but you can. (Just like you can fake OO in C with structs (no polymorphism though:( ))
