I lived in Boston for 25 years ('til I was 25), and I don't mean Newton or the other outskirt cities where people grow up and claim to be from "Boston" like it makes them cool. I grew up in the big pile of dog shit that you drive by on the way from the airport to the Sumner tunnel called East Boston. "So hey, you're from Boston? Which part?"... "I'm from Chelmsford"... "Screw you, asshole, you ain't from Boston" Taxes in Massachusetts are nowhere near as bad as in California or say Arizona (where I live now). I miss the drivers... Compared to the idiots and old people who drive around Arizona, Massachusetts drivers know how to be total pricks while still avoiding major accidents. I swear to God, I see a turnover accident involving a pickup and some mini japanese car here at least once every 2 or 3 weeks. You can't drive in the breakdown lane in Arizona because it's always filled with morons who've lost tires or gotten into road-rage induced fender benders. I'd still rather live in the Bay state than California, but for now, I'm taking a (perhaps) decade break from the mess that is Route 93 (The Big Dig) and the rest of the rat-race... But lucky me, my wife and I have to go back for Christmas!
Think of it this way. If all MTV did all day was play music, then we'd be subjected to hearing Puff Daddy, Jennifer Lopez, Britney friggin' Spears, and those damned Boy Bands over and over and over again. Simple fact is that their programming is crap, and what little music that they actually play is total crap. In general music nowadays sucks. I don't need to be reminded of that by having it programmed 24 hours a day. On the other hand, this season of the Real World is almost as good as the first season and Tom Green's kinda funny. Ah, screw it! DOWN WITH MTV!
I've established a project to produce a lightweight structure document management system using XML. Essentially it is an XML DBMS. The project is still very very young, but is growing rather quickly.
Java 1.0.2 was a truly beautiful thing (except for the AWT, but we can't all be perfect). Java 1.1 and Swing (though not wonderful) really rounded everything out, but when those bastards released Java 2 they bloated Java to the size of that guy in "The Meaning of Life."
It seems that most a fair amount of their specifications are reverse-engineered directly from the stuff that their product engineers have developed as opposed to the other way around.
That's just my opinion, but I know a lot of Java developers who are very turned off by Sun's behavior in relation to Java and the progression of the language and core APIs. They're a wanna-be Microsoft and they're just as bad at producing software.
After more than 3 years of being a devout Java developer, I've recently switched back to C++. Why? Because Sun's not going to get an screw that up anymore than it already is. Thank God!
I agree with those who have said that the survey was definitely biased. It wasn't really made all that public to the Linux community. For the most part, only existing Borland developers who would have browsed to the Borland site to notice that the survey was there would have taken it.
But whatever... I coded in Turbo/Object Pascal/Delphi for about 14 years before dropping Windows completely about 6 months ago, so it will be refreshing to see Delphi for Linux. If it supports QT, I'm all over it.
Borland would have found breaking established GCC development methods to be nearly impossible in releasing C++Builder for Linux, and so it would have made very little sense to reinvent the wheel.
BTW, how soon will we see those JBuilder Slowassis and Linux ports?
I think another reason for the purchase would be that CodeWarrior definitely has a good share of the market for embedded, rtos, gaming system, and handheld development.
Throw the most popular operating systems into the mix and it's actually quite an attractive product line.
Shower! I know more techies with horrible BO than I care to count.
Groom yourself! Brush your teeth! Jeez! Unless they're total freaks, women don't get turned on by IQs!
Also, get married to the first woman you can actually stand for more than 5 minutes, cuz guess what? You ain't gonna get any prettier through the years.
I'm not going to be scared because the director is politely asking me to be scared. Terror doesn't happen through osmosis. I'm going to "feel" what the actor's are feeling with no other stimulus of fright, you just can't rub me that way.
I was bored out of my mind the whole movie, asking my wife every five minutes when it would get good, surprised to find out that she wanted to ask me the same question.
There wasn't even a scene that might provoke you to be scared until the last 10 seconds, and even that was done so fast and with so ridiculously that I just sat there saying "Whatever."
The actors were very good, well, the guys were. The girl was kinda fake.
People who are scared out of their minds DON'T run up and down stairs and through the woods with a friggin' camera over their face. They just DON'T. Unless they all decided to have the cameras on constantly to document their impending deaths, I can only see a sensible person dropping the camera and the packs and hauling ass out of there.
Hey, kids, there was a STREAM there! The one thing in the entire forest that didn't look like the rest of the damn forest was a damn waterway and you semi-intelligent idiots didn't follow it down to where it opened up.
THAT pissed me off. The Haunting was better and even that was a pretty bad movie. At least it had abrupt loud noises... Geez!
I've got the original USRobotics Pilot 5000 with a 1meg Pro upgrade. It's been my loyal friend for a few years now. I cried when I cracked its casing trying to yank the stylus out one day. Its screen is scraped all to hell, and the back memory panel falls off every chance it gets. I've been through about 12 styluses and will be on #13 soon.
Pilot lovers, do not dispair. Do not be afraid to be a Pilot lover. Times will change, people will begin to accept you. Remain loyal to your 5000's those of you who love the youngest of the Pilots, they will be loyal to you.
They'd have to release Delphi for Linux first if they were to release source compatible VCL, especially considering the fact that the VCL is basically 100% Object Pascal code.
And if that were the case, they'd have to produce a superset ANSI-C++ compiler, because they had to hack the hell out of C++B's compiler to get it to handle Object Pascal constructs.
But we shall see. I'd rather they just use Qt, the benefit, of course being that it already compiles/runs on Linux and Windows, and provides a similar framework to the VCL.
I think the partitioning was used to allow multiple threads to access the separate allocation tables simultaneously rather than having to deal with any of the synchronization issues associated with having just one mammoth partition. This is fairly common in NT administration.
You're not really telling the clients they can only see a subset of the data, you're just telling the web server that it has to grab it's data from four different drive letters. Though with Linux this is a transparent feature, in NT, it's just something that you have to deal with.

GNOME could be better, it's only major flaw is depending on ORBit, which is the major bottleneck of the environment.
If they were able to get ORBit to actually support multiple threads, I think GNOME could actually be dangerous.
In the mean time, I'll stick to KDE.

Yes, I did. I also noticed a group of Wookie senators in the upper right of the screen right before they cut to the frames with the E.T.s.
