My wife worked for the U.N. in Africa for 5 years and saw first hand the corruption. TO the point of it being such a joke, that she doesn't even list the experience on her resume. Instead she talks about the odd jobs she performed such as international currier after her UN stint, but while still in Africa.
I'm going to spend about 3 hours re-writing a couple beans. Then end product will be about 100 lines, versus 1200 lines.
I can't believe these idiots didn't step back and say... "Gee... I'm doing a lot of cutting and pasting, maybe I could abstract this into something reusable".
At the start of this project, I took a somewhat hands-off approach in areas. This because, the young programmers were cutting thier teeth and needed to learn from their own mistakes.
But, I'm not going to win any popularity tests when I show up for the code review with 100 lines of code that used to be 1200. What's a genius to do?;->
All they'll need is a judge or two (they've already them in their pocket) to slap an injunction on some competitors emerging XML technology product to stifle them.
It's easy. They don't need merit. They don't even need to win. In this game, simply put.... DELAY EQUALS VICTORY EQUALS PROFITS!!!

Agree. I'm the original poster, and I thought I was actually being objective. Calling it as I see it.
In reality, the true old-school definition of Liberal should be applied to Newt Gingrich Republican Revolutionaries because they were trying to rock the boat and change the status quo. Old-school meaning how Liberal was defined 100 years ago.
Today, Liberalism, has been usurped by Socialists. In America, there are enough people that associate Socialists with Communists. And slowly Liberal is being connected to Socialism, which is connected to Communism. Whether this be fair or not.
Simple fact, Liberalism basically means more state control of the economy. Who disagrees with that statement?
It's no secret that several of the more liberal leaning congressmen and women are members unapologetic socialists.
Sorry. This just isn't true. It's typical Apples to Oranges Spin. See how much he raised taxes? Also, look at the Vermont's economic growth rates over the entire time he was gov. If there was any growth in the state, it occured completely due to spillover from the other states.
What these idiot young liberals don't realize is that, just because Dean was the only fabulously successful fundraiser with the internet doesn't mean he's a viable candidate. He's simply too liberal to get elected. He's left of Dukakis I'm affraid to say. You can't disagree with me there... That he's too far to the left. Simple. Just as Pat Buchannan can really get some Right Wingers enthused about his candidacy. He's too far right.
Or do the pictures of these guys remind you of the Calvin Cline ads awhile back that bordered on kiddie porn? These kids look like they are wearing makeup and exude a bit of homo-erotic teasing.
It just gave me the creeps, knowing that this is an article for nerds.
Basically, with x86, there's all this worry about segment registers. Also, in x86 certain registers are used for certain things.
With ARM, all you registers are basically treated equal.
also, on ARM (THUMB), you may optimize your code differently. For instance, conditional instructions... With conditionals, you do the comparison, but no jumps for branching. You may write the if code, sprinkled with the else code. the reason for this is to increase cache hits. It's hard to explain, but very cool for cache.
I'm sure that there are similar things for intel cisc chips of late. But, one thing is for sure.
99% of all the code that is executed in the world today takes very little advantage of these architectural optimizations. The Chips are just so fast that it's not worth the bother.
It's amazing how many TBytes flow back and forth. And admittingly in the current reality, it's not a smooth process. Funny thing is, the hard-drive sizes change so rapidly, but the system planning isn't based on this. No one has gone said... You know, this system will be so cheap to build because in about a year, you'll be able to walk across the street and buy a Terabyte hard-drive at Best buy for about $400. Why not just plan on a cheap server farm of about 20 pc's each with about 3x1TB of disk space.
Throughput hasn't been too big an issue, it's dealing with all the anomalies of the formats and simple things such as. MPEg vs. JPEG vs. PAL
My company is staying afloat because I immediately outsourced to the Russians. They were way cheaper and better than the Indians. Plus, I love Dostoesky.
Hey, if you can't beat 'em, join em.
You got to start with outsourcing just to stay competitive.
I'm smart. I invested in the India stock market. The growth potential is too huge. Sure China has high growth. But they don't educate like India does.
What will happen... You can look at the whole "Cheaper Drugs in Canada" issue. As more and more Americans buy their drugs up there, the more and more the Canadian system will be strained. Prices up there will increase, and Canadians will be chanting "Blame America"...
The efficient market theory is a law, when you see it in the long term. Indian programmers will become more and more expensive as other countries in the world more aggresively follow suit and hire them for a little more cash. Consider the strenght of the Euro...
Also, India growing economy will start to demand more of its own Programming output. Bollywood is already a huge consumer of India IT. It probably tripled its demand last year for IT to help production.
The smart people know that "Education is Everything".
A country with a good education system is where to put your money. I'm betting on India and the U.S.

Mr. Softy would be an idiot not to pay it off. In fact, it's a know fact, it's the only way to get anything done.
Take for instance The U.N. Oil For Food Program. Saddam called it: I'll scratch your back... You Save My Butt!

Why not do something nerdy like having it calculate a bunch of prime numbers in a distributed fashion.

Any post pointing out Dean's Liberalism is getting flamebait.

There's a big difference in x86 vs. ARM assebly.

With ARM, all you registers are basically treated equal.
also, on ARM (THUMB), you may optimize your code differently. For instance, conditional instructions... With conditionals, you do the comparison, but no jumps for branching.

Write just enough of it to accomplish what you are doing.
Call this code from a higher level language.
More and more, assembly is not needed except for embedded systems, and I've even used C sprinkled with inline asm for embedded code.
They're right, and there's nothing they or anyone can do about it.
I luv spin. But, if C# says it's an innovator, then it already admits that C# isn't an original language and a pure marketing ploy.
In reality, you may only use the term "Incorporated".
Replace the term "innovated" with "incorporated" in the previous post, and suddenly it's matter of fact, instead of a troll.

The Canadian Taxpayer pays for the drugs.
And hence so goes the rule of thumb.
Whenever there are controls on a product that attempt to thrwart the true supply demand curve, black markets will appear.
Americans going to Canada is a perfect example.
The Canadian cheaper drugs thing is a short term phenom. It can't last. Eventually prices will be the same in the two countries.
Get used to it. U.S. co's complete with Europe's.
They maximize their profit. If that means lowering the price 10% to sell 20% more they make more money.
Smart people will win... Period...
I'm smart. I invested in the India stock market. The growth potential is too huge. Sure China has high growth. But they don't educate like India does.
