I understand the "learning process" part but have you heard of MSYS?
Nah, those are the days he plans to have dinner with his mistress. Of course, he won't put that in the planner in case wifey peeks over his shoulder...
Or perhaps there is bigger plan at play here to make his wife think he is with his mistress and his mistress think he his with his wife therefore leaving even more time for coding!
you'll see the four circles around the exit. lower traffic, and possibly just straight exit and entrance ramps w/out the loops.
On older freeway systems you got performance increases too from loop unrolling although todays freeway systems that is less and less of a concern because of new aggressive optimizing architects and civil engineer caching.
My comment has nothing to do with design patterns by the way - it's an implementation artifact of humor.
So then "Creeping SCOX" will be sent to collect $699 for your first born son? Do you post an invoice from SCO, NDA or an EULA on your front door to avoid it? Regardless it seems the first born is a write off at this point.
As it stands the/. community for example as been very vocal about things like this but unfortunately it is not the majority of the public. The Patriot Act II, once public, caused quiet an uproar with the general public and the major players involved had to get approved by these insiduous means.
By making all these new types of "finacial institutions" and "finacial transactions" redefinitions it is going to cause and even larger group of the general masses to start asking more questions about about civil liberties and Patriot Act powers and hopefully some sanity will be restored.
Buller has also constructed a cowpox virus containing the mouse IL-4 gene, which is about to be tested on mice at the US Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick, Maryland.
Cowpox infects people, but Buller says the IL-4 protein is species-specific and would not affect the human immune system. The experiments are being done at the second-highest level of biological containment.
Whatever works to show profits for four straight quarters is all that really matters to McBride anyway from what I have been able to understand. So yes, this does seem to be a well thought out plan. Guess it is all a matter of perspective.
A way to get around lawyers suing you to oblivion for revealing the raw truth of people, organizations, and agendas.
You are what you do when it counts.
No court of law - no lawsuit - no legal strongarm tactics will ever change that fact. Sounds like this just might work to keep checks and balances if it get enough inertia and hits mainstream use. On a side note this is just one more installment of how technology and ideas will get around any obstacle you throw at it. Go true innovation go!
When you play with fire you will eventually get burned.
I wish the best to all OSS projects but when you are skirting around with Microsoft - fsck it, let Microsofts track record speak for me plus any future actions Microsoft pulls out of the bag.
And before I get modded as flamebait: No I have not tried Mono,.NET, etc. I have been burnt too many times using Microsoft myself so you will have to excuse me for not jumping on the bandwagon to try their latest and greatest marketing promises. I'm sure this screams troll material but the truth is that we looked into Java too and it doesn't seem to "cut it" for my employers needs nor my own personal preference. The C and C++ codebase we use works* quite well crossplatform. To help keep the nay sayers at bay: yes - at times it does have it warts but they are industrial strength tools with a proven track record. As an aside if Mono doesn't get hit with some submarine patent type crap, etc. then I guess everyone who "got the jumpstart" will have the last laugh as we play catch up if that situation ever arises.
*The basic assumption that skilled people create and use the code is required for some to understand this statement.
All he did was complain about over and under object-orienting c++ code. Not sure why that's useful... My Computer Science professors do that all the time.
Being that there is a large codebase out there that breaks either one of these rules I would venture a guess that is why he commented on it. He does not believe that there is a sliver bullet to solving software problems nor does he believe that C++ is one either. It is just a language he designed to solve problems he encountered while programming.
C++ is not object oriented. It has OOP support but does not mandate it. The other extreme is that it is not C. If you find yourself falling to one of these extremes in *EVERY* coding probem then there is a high probability you just might have missed his point.
Does it mine e-mail addy's from usenet or does it go through the entire Outlook/Express system on an infected machine? I noticed that some of the virus protection system for e-mail send out a notification which is almost as bad as the damn worm/virus if you ask my opinion. I found it interesting that of all the e-mail recipients there is a something in common with all the usenet "originated" lists: At least one of the usenet posters had an Outlook Express news agent (and ironically enough considered the group troll -- go figure) Point being that none of the recipient list just included people with non-microsoft news readers.
I'm sure that's coincidence but something I did take note of.
with the RIAA announcing it "...would require file sharers to admit in writing that they illegally traded music online and vow in a legally binding, notarized document, never to do it again."
Considering that when companies get litigous with each other nobody has to admit any wrong doing nor do they have to vow to behave in the future.
Seriously though that is not the smartest move. Someone care to explain how the RIAA is the only party that has the power to prevent lawsuits from other sources armed with this legally binding information?
This isn't even an issue of software patents, just stupidity. Putting payment informaiton into a device, and then with a single click selecting the product is obvious. I do it at Amazon.com, a Pop Machine, and a laundrymat, the computer doesn't really make it any difference.
Ah, but you fail to realize the common denominator in the above examples. Dollar signs. You see even "duh-massess" can understand complicated technology when a $ is in the equation. Hyperlinking in computer related context takes the exact same currency related formulas that people understand and transforms it into some unknown magical calculus theory that only geeks can get.
Well it does everything else perhaps they should have created a buffer in emacs and hosted ftp.gnu.org out of it. Once comprimised just kill that buffer and start a new one!
What? I've seen stranger things as lisp modules for that OS, err, editor.

I call it the tag delimeter pattern.
Things will probably have to get much worse before they get better.
I believe the catalyst is when people start going hungry.

My only concern is the simple fact:
Nothing is so simple that it can't be screwed up.

"...systematic study conducted by NEC-Mitsubishi, ATI Technologies and the University of Utah...
So a monitor producer, a graphics card vendor, and a university are sitting in a bar...
Well duh - what do you think the results of a "systematic study" like this will say?
If we could prove that the Universe was finite and small, that would be earth-shattering, says David Spergel of Princeton University in New Jersey.
I am not sure of the equation but the answer will undoubtedly be a const integer with the value of 42.
Sucks even more for the developers who work extrenuous hours to produce the games for gamers if you ask me. Especially the Valve coders.
I think that means patches aren't going to help much on this one either...
Oh, I forgot. It's hard to find a straight geek girl. For some reason they tend to be full blown lesbians or at least bis.
You say it like it's a bad thing. I haven't had any problems with it and have rather enjoyed the ride myself. YMMV of course.
