But in my never ending quest for attention, I submit my last post, which got drowned out by the posts of the huddling masses:
You guys want to know what (Wolfram's) book is all about?
I mean, really? It's all about the arrogant, egotistical foolish cock-goblers that occupy the new "field" of cognitive science, where smoke and mirrors are the way to play the game.

Linux and linux software costs nothing up front but is nothing but pain when it comes to maintenance. You want to migrate from Windows to Linux for job security - you know that Sys Admin is not a career and soon the janitors will be doing your job, so you want to make the system as difficult to use as possible. Clever, but you're not fooling anybody.
3000 people die and you act as if it's the end of the world. Shit, I bet a helluva lot more people die of natural causes every day in the United States.
Where some astronomer dudes tried to figure out if we're surrounded by "ether" - that was some clever shit right there. Maxwell and some other guy, I think.
I'm sorry, which part of it was lame? I tried to write it as clearly as I could. This isn't "History of the World, Volumes 1 - 12," it's "The Origins of Violence in Our Modern World in 60 seconds or Less."
A good compiler will know that the index (1) is above or equal to zero, therefore no matter what the length of the array, the lower end is covered. The higher end isn't covered, of course, but then, it's still only one check. Zero checks if the array is in the local scope and the array is of constant (compile-time) size.
Anyways, bounds checking is a great thing. You should really learn what it does - it kills your performance, but it's WORTH IT. My god is it worth it. It's almost like manna from heaven.
But blaming Java for the mistakes and misunderstandings of developers isn't a good idea.
On many sites I found that applets were slow or unpredictable on IE and/or Netscape 6.
They probably put an infinite loop in the 'paint' method - the proper way is to create a timer thread that calls 'repaint' a few times a second, but many sloppy developers put an infinite loop in the paint statement - this is a guaranteed way to kill the performance and make it almost unusable. Luckily, noone except the most green of applet developers does this anymore.
The worst problem is program shutdown - some shameful software architect at Sun decided that seperate applets should share the same runtime - leading to a situation where it's almost intractably difficult to ensure that threads don't trip over each other, threads aren't shut down properly, etc etc. This is truly shameful, and Sun should hang it's head for this. But it's not something that your average user is going to trip over when using their browser.
As if a file extension which is maintained no matter what OS you're on is the end of the world.
Fucking Mac freaks. Fuck, it doesn't even make life harder for you on Macs to use files with an extension, so why are you whining? I'll tell you why - because you're an elitist pig.
Well, first of all, a lot of things from Microsoft Research creep into their products (like their sub-pixel font anti-aliasing).
And second of all, Microsoft doesn't want the brightest Software (and Hardware? Not sure) Research minds in the world working for other companies, so they hire them just so that they won't work for anyone else.
Slashdot Mirror
don't be mad that you're crappy work
Let me pretend I'm your Grade 9 English teacher ; I know you won't see her anymore in June, so hopefully this post will bring you fond memories.
The corrected form is as follows : don't be mad that your crappy work
You're welcome!
high school kid, or younger, so I don't actually care what your opinion is either way.
But you forgot to mention that Wolfram is a crackpot and cognitive science is a scam.
Let's compare the views on sexual mores in Britan 50 years ago to contemporary American views of sexual mores. Brilliant.

They mention it on the first line :(
The terrorists have already won. Cuneiform Tablets supports the evil Iraqi / Babylon regime.

Ad-lib came out before Game Blaster if I remember correctly, so how can your little tale and "SoundBlaster principle" be true?
Don't they have any respect for dead icons? I mean it would be different if he had died 20 years ago, but he died just a few short months ago!
God knows I want to. Once I get my degree.. pow, I'm outta here. Why hello you sexy Persian ladies, let's have some fun.

And the irony that it's all due to a powerful lobby of people who were saved from slavery by Cyrus the Great, a Persian.

Jews hate Muslims. Muslims hate Jews. Jews are great at manipulating people.
Jews couldn't sucker the Europeans, so they come over and made New York City.
Jews want all the Muslims dead. Jews make the Muslims look like Evil incarnate.
Fundamentalist Christians are dumb. Fanatical Christians do whatever the media tells them to do.
Jews own the American media.
The American media tells the Fundamentalist Christians that the Muslims are their enemies.
The Fundamentalist Christians start wars with the Muslims.
The Fundamentalist Muslims, heavily oppressed by the might of one country, attack New York City.
That country is not the United States. That country is Israel. Jews control America, see above.
The world is polarized. Europeans, knowing the history of the Jews, sympathize with the Muslims.
Europeans laugh at the Americans for being led around by the nose by the Jews.
The End. Any questions?
a = v[1];

Now, we all get the Gbit vs GB vs Gb vs Mbit vs Kbyte vs baud stuff wrong, but you managed to get MB wrong.
That takes a true idiot.
Next, we should get rid of all 3d Hardware Acceleration cards, and start doing everything using 2D rendering again.
After all, 3D cards are nothing but busy work for otherwise unemployable Eletrical Engineers.
Obviously, Java must work this way because it doesn't have any concept of generic programming
Talk about putting the cart before the horse...

Because then Le Internationale will lay down the smack, Talisman style.
