Forgive my ignorance, Can you do anything in PHP other then web pages? I mean, could you write a side-scrolling 2d game (for example) in PHP? Does it have multimedia APIs? (even shitty one's like java?)
What I've never understood is why they chose to emulate and extend Microsoft's rip-off of java. I mean, there are only a few minor cosmetic diffrences between C# and java? Why not make GTK-J? It would have worked just as well.
Anyone who has followed the trend of software patents must realize that Microsoft could have dozens of patent claims covering.NET before Mono rises to prominence.
You know, you could just look up the information yourself. And find out if MS actualy has any mono patents, rather then just flailing randomly and making crazy paranoid asertions.
Mono is stupid, I mean, why not create something new? But this article is paranoid. Anyway, I don't see many linux developers switching to mono.
If you lived in the desert, and it haddn't rained for months, and you planned a big rain-dancing celebration, but it got cancled because of a rain. That would be ironic. There's no reason not to expect rain on your wedding day.
I think it's a little odd that he claimed that Hard drive makers have "Always" done this. I very specifically remember advertisements for hard drives being "One Billion Bytes" (with like a 14 point small print letting us know that it was indeed 1000000000 bytes). After that "billion bytes" became gigabytes and the font became smaller.
I've also heard that for some drive makers "gigabyte" means 1^20*10^3 (i.e. one thousand megabytes) and things like that.
Has anyone else noticed that google sucks these days? I mean, the other day I did a search for "Makefile syntax" and the first result was a message board post asking a question. Alltheweb returned the makefile manual.
You can already do this with x86 chips, as long as you have the right software installed (like VMware). In fact, I think (but I'm not sure) that you can do it without emulating any CPU instructions.
Obviously you'd need some other software to run MacOS, though.
Now pretty much the first thing you see when comparing it to the C version is that an error from println is only checked once, when it's actually used twice. And close isn't checked at all. This "compiles" and seems to work fine... and as I said, this is directly from Sun's own documentation on how to use exceptions.
Actually, you're wrong. The exception is "checked" for each operation that can generate the exception. Once an exception is thrown, control immediately passes to the catch(){} block. So in order for the second op to run, the first needs to succeed.
Most of the time, memory leaks are caused by refrences going out of scope before they can be deleted. Obviously if you store the refrence somewhere else (like in a collection) You need to remember to remove it later.
Write a program in Java that prints "hello world" whenever you write to a pipe. Do the same in C. The programs will run in about the same speed. If you only need to run a program once, it doesn't really matter if takes a half second or a hundredth of a second. If you need to run it a lot, leave it memory.

What the hell else would they use? Cygwin and GCC?
Ever heard of GNU Classpath?

I didn't even exist in 1976. Despite that, I did know that palipitane becomes the emperor, anikin becomes vader, etc.
What I didn't know was the chain of events that led up to it. And now I pretty much know the outline. Thanks.

Thanks a lot spolierboy.
Not that I was going to see the 3rd movie, but if they had been any good I would have been pissed about reading this. Oh well.
I thought the cloned wariors were created by the republic, and worked for the Jedi? Thats what it seemed like from episode II, anyway.
Read a book.
Are you sure this patent grants them the rights to any implementation, or only their implementation?
Btw, would you need to sue MS in order to get this patent overturned, or could you do something like sue the patent office?
First an article about the Scroll-lock key and now this? Have the editors decided we are morons now or something?

It was all Leibnitz anyway
You only need to be 18 to drink. I'm sure there are 16 year olds trying to get in, but most of the 'drinking age' types can do it legaly.
Also, isn't U of I technicaly in Urbana?
Seriously, its easier to learn how to read barcodes then it is to read Kanji, for example.
You say the medical system in the US is 'the best', and then you give an anicdote about how it sucks?
Sounds like someone needs to brush up on their retoric skills.

x86 was a 16 bit architecture, not 8 bit. If you're going to slam on something, helps not to be a moron.

We are talking about program loading time here. Program loading time happens once, when the program loads. God damn you are an idiot. Can't you read?

Show me a C program that you think will run one hundred times faster then Java for more then a couple seconds, and I'll show you that you're wrong.
