Why do you have a chapter on 'buffer overflows' when languages that allow buffer overflows and pointer overhangs, etc, are considered both unsafe and unsuitable for modern software?
I'm talking, of course, about the only languages that actually SUPPORT buffer overflows - C, C++, and Assembly. Not exactly the sorts of languages that are considered seriously in software engineering these days.
I tried this algorithm on my Java anti-aliased font drawing (using downsampling, saves having to write my own rendering routine), and it makes things look blotchy.
Are you sure that's the right algorithm

I dunno, I think Freenet is more of a circle jerk than anything.
Look at us, our proj3ct is leetzor!!!! We use so many protocols, and APIs, cuz we are Freenet, and Freenet is better! Don't ask for a mathematical pr00f, th0, we are too good for proof!

However, there seem to be many gaps in the C++ book market.
That's because C++ is total garbage. What, noone told you already? That bird has flown.

Yes, and we all know how secure Unix and Unix applications are.
You just line up and let the competition shoot you, I suppose. Unix is dead, and arguing with it's defenders is as fun as a dual with an unarmed opponent.

So what you're saying is that you prefer a language that has NO MEMORY MANAGEMENT to one that does?
Yuck... that site was horrid. Where's the "open in new window" option? How come the options on the menus on the right hand side keep repositioning themselves?
How come the font looks smudged? (not anti-aliased, SMUDGED)
In short, how come Flash was used when HTML would have clearly made more sense?
10k is pretty ridiculous for Java, yes. Most interesting uses need at least a 50k jar file, and can get as high as several hundred k... but I'm sure it gets even worse when you think about the memory requirements of Java (which is a great language, but god does it suck memory).
Anyways, I'm disappointed by the news you relate here. I was hoping that J2ME was 'here, soon.' but from what you say, I guess not:(
Just ignore him, he's your typical Slashbot idiot, trying to make a jab at Microsoft's expense.
XML is going to have longer legs than Tex ever could wish for. Even though they're nothing alike, they're both usually in ASCII, thus the comparison.
Notice how the Slash monkey doesn't acknowledge the fact that WYSIWYG information can be stored in an ASCII document. He's either a karma whore, or suffers from severe brain damage.
Well, Unicode fails the 'can I read it in notepad' test, so I wouldn't call it legacy yet. And besides, Unicode has yet to settle down as a format - to my knowledge, they just recently introduced a 32-bit wide character encoding standard.
Geez, I bet you and your table-top role players have a good laugh at the jocks. "Look at those idiots, getting all the girls and sucking up to the teacher for high marks, ahahahaha."
Free clue, jackass - tech support is a job, not a fucking PHD. You expect them to be clairvoyant? Go fuck yourself, and while you're at it, kill all the greasy-haired shits and fat ugly as sin girls that sit at the card-playing-and-RPG-ing high school table.

Your website actually does a rather good job of demonstrating this fact
Is there any point to this game at all? In what way is it adding to the value of your website?
No matter how 'bad' Java might be on the client, would you rather have Java, or Flash?
God help you if you'd rather have Flash.
You'd think we'd be at the point where we'd be trying to make things SIMPLER, not more COMPLICATED.
