Well, that assumes that you have a memory mapped, square image to work on, which might not always be true, otherwise it would crash since you typed it wrong.
Not that it matters either way. Can you tell me how to rig up logic gates in order to implement that function? I can, it was required in my CS program to take an introductory digital circuit design class that went all the way up to building whole CPUs.
You can always go to a lower level, that doesn't mean that your smarter then someone, or that your compiler wouldn't just optimize the code in the first example anyway.
Most CS people just end up doing programming, but the stuff you learn later on (like algorithm running time, and sometimes language and complier design, sometimes functional programming with XSLT) do come in handy.
When you consider how many "programmers" barely even know how to do OO, a real comp sci person can do things no mere programmer could ever dream of.
As you say, those are not real Computer Scientists or Engineers. They're sysadmins with delusions of grandeur.
Exactly. I read about using multiple threads for networking back when java 1.0 came out, when I was in high school.
Visual basic is a "real" OO programming language, but VB6- was not going from writing code in java C++, to VB6 was a huge pain in the ass due to the limitations of the language itself.
In plain C or other procedural programming languages, you can use function pointers to get most of the functionality, if not the maintainability or uniformity of implementation of OO languages like C++ or Java.
I think you're just a bad programmer trying to justify your bad programming practices. SPs are great if you have one big database that lots of applications use, as long as you don't put too much business logic in there such that trying to fix it for one program breaks it for all the others... and then you've got to debug them.
I mean they have their place. If you're writing code for a company that has a standard DB in place they can cut down on transaction time, but if you're writing a more generalized program for people who might want to use a DB they already have they're stupid.
Heck, how do you get stored procedures to run across multiple databases?
Well, how do you get stored procedures to get to work on mysql at all?
Actually, any database-specific queries related code should be sequestered in a small data access layer, along with all your DB code, which could be re-coded for different DBs without upsetting the rest of your system.
If you're calling "SELECT * FROM TABLENAME" good software because it can run on any database, then you've got some learnin' to do.
If you consider "Select * from tablename" software at all, you've got some learnin' to do. It's not software, it's a query. It's what you do with the data afterwards that makes up the 'software'. You strike me as the kind of person who thinks doing a 'select' and then formatting the output via PHP makes good software, in my mind, it's barely even software at all.
I'm so sick of everyone making their software depend on MySQL. If you're software is any good it should be able to run on more then one DB, at least Postgres.
To me, MySQL is like the MS Access of the Open Source world.
Unless he signed an NDA, he's free to do whatever he wants, as long as it dosn't violate their copyrights.
(If you're wondering, the reason Compaq was so careful about their clean-room implementation was that their BIOS was certain to duplicate IBM's BIOS, which was published openly. They only way they could prove they weren't violating copyrights was to prove no one on their team had ever seen it)
How is an interon a "parasite" They provide useful genetic services by providing alternative splice points in eukaryotes.
Calling them 'parasites' is nothing more then bread-dead flabbergastating (which I am defining, here and today, to mean acting flabbergasted at things which are not at all flabbergasting)
I work for my standard of living, not yours. If I own a business my standard of living will be better if I can hire Indian employees for less money, and their standard of living will go up as well, by having a nice job.
If you don't care about people in other countries, why should I care about you?
3. As I hinted above, free trade isn't really free trade. India has Tariffs. China does as well. The only tariffs we have are to protect us against Canada (DUMB).
Bush also put in steel tariffs that hurt the EU, untill they won the right to put in tariffs that fucked over various swing states, including florida oranges. Bush stopped the steel tariffs real quick after that. Hmm, I wonder why...
I'd be willing to bet that any random educated indian would do a better job then him.
Except for the whole nuking of pakistan thing. Other then that, all peaches and cream.
Did it ever occur to you that, yes, maybe you did miss a memo? I mean, why would you just assume that because you haven't heard of something it couldn't be true?
I'm not saying it is true, I'm just saying that's a very stupid argument.

Well, java is older then utf32, but whatever.
In fact, rather then ASCII Ruby was designed with SHIFT-JIS, a sort of japanese ascii.
Is this a new "level" of chip? Like the diffrence between the pentium (586) and P6-PIII (686) and the P4 (786)?

Is have DB spesific code for creating the tables, auto increments, etc. and then use standard queries.

What are you talking about? We ship appliances with postgres and they don't need vaccuming.

Seriously, how many people have ever had a chance to glimpse into the dark heart of SAP? It's very ugly. Hedious even.
It might run business well, but it's hardly very extendable or flexible. Given the price you're better off writing your own system, IMO.

Obviously, RAID servers don't help you in the case of accidental deletion. And they certainly don't help if your whole computer gets blow up.
Still, you'd want to be careful with this, it would suck to back up all the temp files generated by random processes.

Name one US citizen to whom any of this has happened. John Walker Lindh?

They built a small car that runs on Diesel. Hardly revolutionary. Oh, but they used soy diesel so it's revolutionary. AWSOM!!!
I guess the company is totaly dead now. Heh.
A lot of virus testing at big companies uses VMWare, so a virus killing itself on vmware is a good idea, from the virus' perspective.
