If you hate java, you seemed to be dealing with a similar looking devil with.NET. They both have big horns, nasty teeth, and can hog attack your system resource in a horrible way. In fact, one look at there face and you'll be frozen in terror, ah The Ring's had a horrible effect on me...
By looking at that site (quick glance), it doesn't seem that the ABI is as stable as it's been totted to be, there seems to be a lot of proposals for new ways of doing things and some open issues. Are these just minor ideas or could we see a version 2 ABI sometime soon in the future?
Well when you look at the XBox and compare its size to other consoles, physical restraints never stopped them from entering a market, they'll find a way to pack 256 meg of ram and a 1 ghz chip, even it means they have to make the mobile manufacturers sell a brick.
Why not try headphones? That way you can keep his noise contained, plus he can get quality close to his discerning ears where he'll appreciate them most. And I'm sure you give him quality elsewhere.;)
Unfortunately I found that the default Netscape (Mozilla?) Java pluguni really sucked, I think it was version 1.3.01, and it just keeps dumping on me or hogging up about 256 meg of ram, I went to java.sun.com and got there 1.4.1 JRE and it all runs fine, faster, smoother, no problems. This was all under Linux btw, not sure how it is under other OSs.
Well Mozilla crashed for the first time ever (since 0.9) for me and it took all my bookmarks with it. Worse is I'm running a talkback build and I saw no evidence of this feature at all as Mozilla segfaulted and went to hell.
In that case, why use Java? You could use another interpreted or scripting language that has all what you want and make the critical components in C/C++, Java's JNI isn't the nicest looking interface around, I'd prefer using something like Python, or going even simpler to Lua which has a small footprint and a clean binding interface, also giving you greater runtime control/interactivity, examples of scientific uses of this can be found at there website.
You all seem to forget that this is aimed at things less powerful than the Sharp Zaurus, I've never seen such wonderdul graphics on a Gameboy Advance or a mobile phone before, the pictures at the bottom of this page look pretty damn good to me!
JavaScript's syntax and language facilities are pretty similar to C, it's not that far fetched that he was able to do this, and considering that a lot of Mozilla is controlled via JavaScript, it doesn't suprise me that this is possible.
Just one question, what kind of commercial or other redistribution licenses surround WMA? Do Microsoft have any patents or such, or any Thompson like asking as to pay for selling a decoder or using a decoder in commercial software, or were they 100% free on this? (Yes, I know, nothing from Microsoft is truely free.)
Why not build the program to be modular from the start, that way environmental dependancies can be isolate and it make porting a _much_ simpler chore. Although this does require a lot of discipline and abstraction on the developers side, but it's usually well worth it in the end.
'when the huge universe of MS Office documents becomes available for processing by any programmer with a Perl script and a bit of intelligence, all sorts of wonderful new things can be invented that you and I can't imagine.'
He also promised me the tooth fairy would pay me $2 for my tooth!
"Con Kolivas, a practicing doctor in Australia, has written a benchmarking tool called ConTest which has proven to be tremendously useful to kernel developers..."
Let me guess, he cooks too. Ladies this is your man.
Alright, I'll accept I got rolled, jumping the gun doesn't always help, I had a headache, but that's no excuse for commenting due to an assumption, sorry.
"...who are organised in a manner reminiscent of the Nation of Islam."
I'm muslim, and I don't want to be associated with idiots who use the religion as a scapegoat, don't comment on the religion as a whole, that's a underhanded comment that shows your narrow mind, your lack of understanding is appauling, the religion is not far different from christianity or judaism (excuse the spelling), as it is a derivative of sorts (just like christianity being a derivative of judaism), we don't believe in ridiculous things as religious sucide giving you 6 virgins or some other shit, far from it, in fact according to our religion, suicide is one of the unforgiveable sins that damns you to an eternity in hell. I have to dispel these myths, and I hope you will get over the stereotype.
What I don't get is, if the ogg codec is so CPU intensive, then wouldn't next gen games prefer MP3, after all they are trying to squeeze the most out of the CPU, mainly for graphical performance, so that wouldn't make sense. I don't think the OGG format can be that complex that they couldn't hack tremor up allow it to play on lower end music players.
Are people moving closer to or further from IDEs? I get the impression that they imprison me and deny me the flexibility that I need, and usually lock me in in some way, well that's my 2c.
It's also a beautiful country in general, besides being war ravaged for the past few decades, it's nice to see the country move on and to have people take interest in it once again.

This happened to Quake 3 too, its rather disappointed especially because you realise its a bare bones tech demo and it will only spoil things for you.

Cathy, will you have my baby?
Well those midgets weren't there for research purposes.
I'd give you a hug and a kiss, but you know. ;)

Question is, what if your not a man?

Alright, I'm confused, I thought the XVidMode Extension did some of this.
