OPT-IN MARKETING!!!! I never thought I'd see the day merketers ask me if I want to see ads. Read the article and you shall see - the spamming requires you to sign up. Of course one already pays soemthing like 400/year for it, so i dont know how many people will jump for joy over this. Maybe if they cut the fee for signing up they'll get some people who will live with ads.
The article indicates no pop up ads. That's a relief for me as a driver - i dont want an ad suddenly blocking my vision of the road. But like Internet ads, they didnt start off with pop ups either - so the question is how long until the ad appears on my windshield via heads up displays?
... seriously. Will that work? Oftentimes there will only be one person in the car and hence he/she wont be able to look down to see the ad. Besides, with the way people drive these days, wno one will have time to stop for a sale anyway.
Now something more realistic (if it isnt there already) would be having the system allow a user to query information about nearby hotels, malls, restaurants, etc.
did anyone else see dave letterman wednesday night? The kid who played harry was on, but I was too busy on other things to pay attention. but the djs on the radio the next morning were saying he was completely nervous and everything. anyone else see it? what was he like up there?
i got dragged to the theater at 12:01am Friday morning by my girlfriend. They did an awesome job at the special effects and who they selected as actors.
but the story was slow to develop, IMO. I actually fell asleep for about a half hour of the movie and when I woke up, the only stuff I had mised was the introduction of peoples names, and the plot hadnt been intro'd yet. so it felt like i didnt miss anything. i think maybe the reason i fell asleep is because i havent read teh books.
you obviously dont know how to hold an argument without backing up your opinion or without insulting people.
you keep saying "that aint it" without saying why. OTOH, I keep saying "here's my opinion - yada yada" which keeps getting the reply "nope"
and lastly - in the real working world, if you were to argue wth someone by telling them to take things out the ass - you may as well be out on your ass.
so until you say why i should learn ML and why my opinion of pattern matching/regexps/etc is wrong, you aint hearin from me.
being a former salesman in retail i can say that parents sometimes dont know about the current ESRB anyway. many times parents would buy an M game only to return it an hour later because it's not appropriate for their 10 year old. (I usually followed these up with a short intro to the ESRB system, and draw their attention to the "M - Mature, Ages 18+" box)
so for some, ratings dont matter. they'll just buy, and return if's too much for their kid.
sorry pal. been through grad school. work in industry. never came across functional languages where that stuff is probably prominent. I see people referring to ML, but Idont use it nor have the desire to learn it.
good lord, you're gonna cause yourself a heart attack if you dont calm down
when people say pattern matching, most think of regexp pattern matching. it's what perl (and some other languages) is known and famous for.
datastruct pattern matching is something that's used a LOT less often (and something I have seen little about in my many years, of course I've never done functional languages)
so that's why people will think of perl-like regexps when people talk about pattern matching
Not quite. Depends on how you read it. To me, "woohoo" makes it sound like the "woo" part lasts too long, while "wahoo" makes the "wa" sound nice and quick.

ok, i must be thinking of some other system that does have a display concole. thanks for clarifying
hmm, now there's an interesting thought. maybe keep it to the passenger side of the car would also work.

that's what my g/f told me afterwards. she said that if they make movies on the other books, then the stuff i slept through might come into play.

re-read my post a bit more closely. i dont suggest that.

that link IS the language doc. sure looks like regexp matching to me.
regexps are used to describe the pattern you wish to match. hence i see both as pretty much the same thing because they go hand-in-hand.

you're not up-to-date on some bullets
the 1.4 jdk (currently in beta) has pattern matching
parametric polymorphism (iow - templates) are in development and being called generics
