  1. Re:C++ Frustrations on Next Generation C++ In The Works · · Score: 1

    I think that templates are fixed, I know that MFC are finished, design wise, the only updates will be bug fixes.
    They plan something new, which will be fully template based, which mean that they either have to go OS or fix the compiler.
    Guess what will they do?

    Here are a couple more:

    Non seem very active at the moment, though.
    However, the entire C# specification can be downloaded (for free) from MS' site, so it can't be *too* hard to do it.
    The main problem, I think, is that C# doesn't really have a library system, such as C++, it has all the .NET for this, so you have to implement .NET, which is not fully done, let alone published, yet.

  3. Re:One Word on Next Generation C++ In The Works · · Score: 1

    Speaking about platform independent, both MS and OSS are supposed to be working on porting .NET (and hence C#) to other OS.
    If they want to get EMCA approved standards, they *have* to do it on at least two platforms.
    And here is one link to OSS CLI & .NET, which will gives you C# as well.

    C# doesn't require a virtual machine, it should be compiled to IL, which is then compiled to native binary.

  7. Re:Code, Joe Code. Licensed to bloat. on What 1.7Ghz Is Like · · Score: 1

    Office XP has speech recognition.
    But I disagree with you strongly about giving developers the Mhz, *test* it on a 120Mhz, and then force the developer to use it for a couple of hours, you are certain to have someone eager to efficinate code.

    But to try to develop on too few Mhz is a pain.
    Of course, 333Mhz is good enough, but I just came out of a 120Mhz + 32MB, running win98 & VC6, I'll have nightmares about it for years, I think.

    Nevertheless, it's not good design desicion.

    We classify protocols by their heading (http://, ftp://, news://, not by their domain.

    What do you make of this?
    http://joe@user.com.email ?
    http://news.myisp.com.news ?

    I'm not saying that it's a bad idea, only that it would be *much* better served if you created a plug-in/stand alone program that allows you to do it.
    I'm not sure how you go around registering protocols handler for linux, but in Windows, you can do it quite easier, witness napster://, frex.
