Hehe...I chuckled as I read the first two examples in documentation, loading and saving settings, and showing a specific type of dialog, since these two utilities are almost identically what is used in Java to do the same:
Properties p = new Properties(); p.load(new FileInputStream("/path/to/Settings"));
---
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "hi!");
Notwithstanding that we still complain.
Apparently what C++ needs is just a decent platform and standard library.
To add on to that: there is a gradient between developed and developing nations. Harnessing that gradient is profitable Cheap labor produces cheap goods which further fuels the migration of labor jobs to developing nations. The laborer in the developed nation then requires more cheap goods because wages are depressed, and the cycle continues. The playing field needs to be evened, but it needs to be evened on OUR TERMS, which means fair trade not "free" trade. Laborers in developed nations will almost certainly have to take pay cuts, but not the rampant and excessive cuts, or cuts in jobs, that is resulting from wholesale migration to sweatshop and slave labor. As Alan Keyes put it in a recent Senate debate, the American worker produces a "free" good while the sweatshop worker produces a "slave" good. It is not fair to pit the Free good against the Slave good in the market.
Since you can't know until after the charge has been aired and reviewed, the choice is whether to air complaints or not air complaints. Of course if there was a FRIVOLOUS_COMPLAINT bit we could inspect then we could know which to allow and which to disallow. But we don't, so have to defer to hearing all complaints. If I have to choose actual disenfranchisment vs. frivolous complaints, I choose frivolous complaints. I'd much rather have a democracy that is verifiable despite a lot of complaining, than one that is undermined yet absolutely trusted.
I just don't get this. By that logic the "electoral process" itself is safe even if it is completely corrupted, just as long as the public doesn't know about it and still trusts it? SHOULD we trust a system which is rigged? If either party is doing this, it needs to be known, and the fact that it is occurring means that it should be STOPPED or FIXED, not that it should be hidden.
So, uh, does that mean you are saying object-relational frameworks like Hibernate are a good thing and that they are ahead of "more parsimonious ways of optimizing predicate systems", or what? Should we hop on the ORM/OODB bandwagon, or are you saying something different?
"You see, here in the states we have these things called "trunks," where we can put stuff to carry from point A to point B with us."
When I got my car, I got the smallest fucking thing I could find from a reputable company: a Suzuki Esteem. I drive this thing 20 miles each day commuting. 99% of the fucking time all that cargo capacity just carries EMPTY SPACE. I go shopping ONCE a week, with my girlfriend who then occupies the passenger seat (she has her own sedan so it's not like my care MUST be large enough for groceries). The back seat is never ever ever ever full. Under no circumstance have I ever run out of trunk room. I could carry around 3 or 4 corpses and some cordwood for a wood furnace every damn day if I wanted to. It's just fucking wasted. Just tons of extra metal for NOTHING. That's what people talk about when they talk about waste. And this is the SMALLEST car I could find. I am considering getting a Toyota Prius, but that would move me UP in size. I'm thinking it might be better to just get a little smart than getting a BIGGER car that then has to compensate for its size by loading on all these electronics and batteries and hybrid stuff. It's just ridiculous. I have coworkers that drive big fucking pickup trucks, like 8 feet tall and longer than a parking space just to commute!? WTF!? We don't need cars that fucking big people. As I think about it, the monstrosity called the HUMVEE is probably as large as half the floor space of my house!
I know social security is a problem and from what I hear the sheer mathematics will eventually make the system untenable as people simply live longer. It will have to be changed one way or another. Note however, that as people live longer, their health costs still GO UP. So there is some chance that we can reduce the COST of being older through science, but also through simple things we've known all along: if you have good health habits your entire life, you will be healthier in old age. This in turn would put less burden on future generations. Whether that is statistically significant I don't know. The "paying for doing nothing" however is outright waste, and society is just going to have to come up with a better way. There is also massive waste in other parts of government... perhaps this will put pressure to eliminate that waste (i.e. eliminate the bad waste and move it over to the "good waste").
Any way you cut it, it is my and future generations that are paying the bill for our parents and grandparents retirement. I sincerely doubt I will ever see the money that is taken out of my pay check for social security, and frankly it's insulting. (note that I consider myself left of center and do not object to taxes for social services in general, but social security is particularly aggregious...for one thing I have to live until retirement age to even GET any of it back).
No it doesn't, it prevents YOU from working effectively. The government can loan money from itself forever. It's your children and economy that have to pay the piper. That's why the talk of "tax cuts" is so aggravating. They aren't "tax cuts", they are "tax debts and burdens" on our future generations.
What is funny is that the left is trying to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope that he really isn't as stupid as everybody thinks, but instead is just really crafty and deceitful.
Guys. He pulls it out right in the middle of freaking everybody and smiling while he is doing it. Why the fuck would he do something so obvious if he was pulling out notes? It's a just a damn pen.
The answer in layman's terms I think is: yes, the universe expanded faster than light, which is why we still see light from the big bang - it didn't all "whoosh" past us.

What is your problem? You think we need to cut programs. I do too. Why do you keep reposting this to me? We are in agreement.
Huh? The government CAN be smaller. But:
tax cuts + spending INCREASES == massive deficit
cutting taxes without also cutting the programs that those taxes fund just mean the programs will use phony borrowed money.

But what's worse, frivolously claiming voter intimidation or actually actively disenfranchising voters and deceiving the public about it?
I don't care who's doing it, if it was the Democrats doing it and the Republicans complaining, I STILL WANT TO KNOW. It still should be stopped.
Yeah, just like reporting a stabbing is just like crying "murder" if the victim dies. Damn attentions whores.
It's a project based on a Monty Python skit. Aren't we supposed to laugh?

Real men aren't insecure about the looks of the car they drive or who cuts their hair.
FWIW: $30 hair trimmer == problem solved
Or was a buzzed haircut too "manly" for you?

I heard he threw his pens over a fence. I don't know about you, but I think that's sort of disrespectful. Talk amongst yourselves.
Guys. He pulls it out right in the middle of freaking everybody and smiling while he is doing it. Why the fuck would he do something so obvious if he was pulling out notes? It's a just a damn pen.
I'm not sure why this is funny. Is the neurophone a hoax or what? It doesn't sound funny to me.
Anybody remember Hard Hat Mac!? Mario stole his gig (well, changed it from construction to plumbing at least).
