Don't put down any roots or try to make friends or anything.
Sorry, but rubbish. I have many very, very good friends, who are close to me, all over the world, an utterly diverse group. I stay in regular touch with them, and we frequently travel to exotic and interesting places together.
Compared to burb-dweller homogoneity, I'll take International Lifestyle anytime.
I've worked in the U.S., Japan, and now Germany. In a few years time, I hope to move to India to work for a little while, then head back to Australia to do what I can to build up the national market for technology...
Globalization is a reality, folks. You can either:
a) pretend it doesn't exist, b) complain about it, or c) live in it, as a globalist individual
I chose c). If big-corp's are gonna go multi-national, so am I. The days of stick-dwelling are over.. this is the Era Of The Nomad, in my opinion.
Okay, maybe C is passé (I personally don't think so), but this book gives a lot of great insight into this wonderful language.. highly recommended, even if it isn't current!
Has anyone ever used Runtime Revolution? I remember this system in the days before Java, and its quite surprising that its still around.. because I've never heard of or seen anyone ever use it to write an application..
Is this just because its mostly a business-logic style app development environment, or have I just not been paying enough attention to 'strings somerunrev.exe'?
You would 'anchor' in the Lagrange points, I'd imagine. So it'd be a big flexible line, moving and twisting with the currents of the planets and their moons..
What is the point of democracy if it isn't to be fair to all, winners and losers both?
Its pathetic that on the one hand, people propose that democracy is the 'solution' to mans mob-mind dilemna, but on the other hand, spare no second in applying that same mob-mind to the destruction/derision of 'The Unpopular".
Who says there'd be damage? You just wouldn't be able to take a photo of me. I don't think theres' a judge in the land who would enforce that someone gets their photo taken if they don't want it...
If you see someone filming, it is YOUR responsibility to get out of the field of view and out of the way same as with someone photographing
Cool, this means that all I need is my 'camera-off' device, and its okay for me to use it any time I want against any camera I want, since I'm simply shielding myself...
Good to know there is a defense against asshat film-makers who think they have a right to film anything they want, wherever they want..
I've been in computers for 20 years. I'm now thinking that, all along, this whole 'upgrade' thing is a pile of crap.... I'm not thinking of upgrading any more. I'm thinking "maybe its time to learn assembly, chuck away all this bloat, and push this metal really hard".
Seriously. Upgrading is bad for the environment, especially if you do it in some sorta consumerican goose-step, a fatal religion.
Lets see an "Ask Slashdot" about 'how did you bring old hardware new life'? Its much more impressive to me to see someone downgrade, albeit with new non-bloated software, than it is to see the 'latest and greatest' ricerbox being sliding off someones credit card..
The 'net is your hard drive. Delete, I say. Let the winds blow to you what they will.
You don't need 8gigs of TV show. It isn't actually doing you any good to hoard all this so-called 'valuable content'. Some would consider it a kind of cancer...
Whats so bad about K&R C?

.. been writing it now for 20 years, still going strong..
Could it be that these various randomly 'popping-up' projects, gathering press around the 'theft' of code from OSS projects, is part of a larger dilution strategy?
.. been one since I was born, am lucky enough to be able to say that I have lived and worked and loved all over the planet, and I've been to a lot of different cities in my time. its all just like one big blur now, almost.. like one big matrix city, connected with tube-like structures that fly through space, a kind of 'space-warp' from one traincar/sidewalk to the next, which only a very few can afford, though many use.
sometimes I can't help believe that all the problems in the world are just a big television show, because in places like Tokyo and Los Angeles and Prague, there are literally millions upon millions of people living together, just fine.. or so it seems, anyway.
One thing I've noted in the last 20 years at least, my life has definitely changed a lot thanks to the Internet. "HQ" is an e-mail address away, and even though its mostly only the 'technologically civlized' states that have access to the internet bubble, that is one large world.
errmm.. i mean, "city state".
you can really see/feel this in europe, or at least i do, anyway. to me, parts of western europe are like one big city-state, with sci-fi trainride interconnects in between large parks..

Move or die.
Isn't whipping out a dictionary and quoting verbatim a little antagonistic?
...
i would say, definitely no. it is because people are afraid of dictionaries that the literacy rate is so low.
have more respect for the actual definitions of words, and you may find your life becoming a lot richer for it
can you do ioctl() style stuff with RunRev? that is, can i open USB endpoints with it, easily enough, cross-platform-like?
.. even Spectre VR.
.. its good to go outside, i rarely ever barf up lunch out there ...
virtual reality is not all its cracked up to be
.. didn't make it.
.. highly recommended, even if it isn't current!

I definitely remember them being around about 1996/97. I was beta-testing it as a multi-platform tool, but gave up and used Delphi instead
Maybe their 1.0 release was in 2001, but they did a beta or two for 2 or 3 years before that

(Anyone remember Vibe?)
That rendering shot .. was that done in '85, or is it a newly-generated AutoCAD shot? Seems quite slick to me ..
There is only one thing that sun has that could make it money and that's patents.
thats such amazingly ignorant horseshit i can't even stand it.
what, so an organized pool of talented and hungry engineers isn't worth anything?
You would 'anchor' in the Lagrange points, I'd imagine. So it'd be a big flexible line, moving and twisting with the currents of the planets and their moons..
To an Australian living in Germany (who has also lived in Sydney) and is from Perth, Fremantle is the .. umm ... ah, forget it.
Freo is good for a night out, thats about all. Too many American sailors.
The big picture is that, of course, anyone can do this now.
tinfoil:7.5gigs a day, of a conveyor belt, something like 40,000 'commuters' or 'passengers', some DSP, and you've got Big Brother.
future-creative: 7.5gigs of daily stats on the fisch-farm, independently attended-to feedstock, on automatic around the feeders..
sci-fi: what if suddenly, at such large capacities (7.5gigs) we suddenly start seeing things we weren't expecting
hey-yo: hey, at least we can still all go buy the parts at Fry's at 2am in the morning on a Saturday if we wanna, yo!?

.. is a brute-force attack against CCD's and other camera optics.
Some sort of electronic/optical flash system that, when activated, overblows CCD's, or otherwise interferes with their operation.
Then I could sell it to guys like this and make a fortune...
(And before you liberties people get started, I believe I have a right to not get my picture taken, when I want not to get my picture taken..)
If we're all actually using 1mhz processors with 256k of RAM, then who cares? As long as we're actually using them.
Progress is a lie. There is no such thing as progress!
