I don't know that anybody was saying C was better than C++. What they might have been saying is that C libraries are better as system libraries because they are easier to integrate into various languages. It's easier and more sensible to make a Python or Java or Scheme or whatever interface to a C library than a C++ one.
Good doesn't want you abandoning their mapping for.. oh say Apple maps. They want you coming for information from them. That's why this move makes little sense.
Has there been a revelation that the NSA sends US data overseas to avoid the rules? I don't remember that revelation coming out, although I wouldn't put it past them.
There's at least 3 problems with your post. 1. The NSA doesn't obey the law. 2. You can't believe anything written about them. 3. You're probably NSA, because who else would defend those jokers?
I know weight is important and all, but.75mm of aluminium? Really? Maybe they should have less scientists over there at NASA and more people with common sense who can raise their eyebrows.
The prospectus says he is building something eco-friendly. Is it really eco-friendly to build a car from 500,000 individual pieces, shipped from Denmark, one that has zero practical use, then ship it from Romania to Melbourne? And is the power efficiency of using electricity to fill an air tank and then power 256 plastic pistons really power efficient?
You wouldn't think so, but in fairness to Apple, these were pretty old machines, which means they had pretty old versions of OS-X. My guess is Apple closed this bug a long time ago, which is why the researchers had to use old Macs.
If a database is good, it should be possible to use it for ALL problem domains.
Of course, by this criteria, a relational database is NOT "good".
But I would have thought an object database is good, and would work in any situation. Unfortunately, they never seemed to really take off.
Anyway, I'd rather be using an object database for complex data of ANY kind than some crazy XML database. I can sort of see why a health application that might have tons and tons of fields might be tempted to use an XML storage, but I still think its a mistake. XML is ALWAYS a mistake.
If that's true, it only reinforces that the article makes a good point that its no different to genetic engineering. In fact, then it really is genetic engineering using a different technique and should be regulated the same way.
I don't know, those 50000 networks are probably no less secure than before. The NSA probably has an encrypted secure channel into them, which is no easier to hack than whatever exploit they originally used to get in. Who knows, they might have even closed the original exploit and made them more secure.
Yes well, you're assessing people in terms of victory to America vs victory to England, Germany, Russia etc etc. The rest of us are thinking about victory for the people vs the surveillance state, which we think is a more important battle than killing the occasional wild muslim.
Yeah, they ought to put up a statue of him in Washington Mall. The only difference between him and the founding fathers is the founding fathers got away with overthrowing the corrupt establishment, and he didn't.
It really should be time that 99.9% of the code written ought not to be in languages that have undefined behaviour. It's time we all use languages which are fully defined.
Having said that, if something in code is undefined, and the compiler knows it, then it should generate an error. Very easily solved. If this STACK program is so clever, it should be in the compiler, and it should be an error to do something undefined.

Aww come on, it was in a bond movie, and everything in Bond is true.
There was a slashdot article recently that most research is lost within 2 years, so expect the same discovery and story in another 2 years.
Yes there is, but nobody has ever been deemed worthy of winning.

Won't this require a 2nd copy of the shared libraries in memory, which will negate the benefit of a slightly smaller binary?
It should be the courts, which is why the idea of secret courts is an abomination.
Are they really complete rockets? Is the documentation available to verify that they are 100% complete?

Why check his business bigotry at the door, and get her the iPad she wanted?

Cool, yes. Eco-friendly? Nope.

Come to that, since they're building an nbn with high capacity land based connectivity, all broadcast is unnecessary.
With the rising difficulty, you can't make money now without it being near to $1000. If it was much less, people would stop mining it.

The organic industry was ALWAYS marketed as naturalness, not "better" (whatever that means).
If that's true, it only reinforces that the article makes a good point that its no different to genetic engineering. In fact, then it really is genetic engineering using a different technique and should be regulated the same way.
If this is so "natural", they won't be patenting the result.... RIGHT????

Yeah, but it seems less objectionable to suffer under the will of the majority than under the will of the oligarchs.
