Some code in Windows has its origins in BSD, Hotmail was running BSD for years, Lucene.Net is in some Microsoft products, and probably some other apache stuff as well.
Actually no, it feels and behaves like a normal IDE, most people and that is mostly a documentation problem, run it with the default memory settings, while they work, eclipse will start to choke once you dump a load of files into it or once you hammer it with a handful plugins.
Most people do not know that java does not behave like every other program it only takes the amount of ram it is assigned to currently running heavy server development with a s***itload of plugins and even an integrated case tool with following settings
-vmargs -Xmx700m -Xms200m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
and the IDE is fast, believe me.
Gamepads such compared to the good old joysticks, the reason for this Nintendo went with a left hand approach for the mor important fine grained stuff, and besides that it gives a huge pressure on the thumb. I hated them when I was young and I still hate them 25 years later.
Eclipse basically is the only IDE which can fulfill your needs out of the box, the project really is taking off, refactoring is possible now even in C++ and lots of plugins for almost any language are available, just go plugin shopping and stick with it, that is basically the best advice I can give to you. Eclipse sort of has become for the 2000s what Emacs used to be for the 80s...
The german magazine iX ran benches on Reiser4 a while ago, and the benchmarks indeed were impressing with two huge downsides however, one is already mentioned in the interview, a reallocator is needed because Reiser4 has a tendency to fragment.
And the other one being a much higer CPU usage than every other filesystem.
You are right, nuclear power plant 2005 =
nuclear power plant 1950 + windows pcs left and right, and one of them might mess up some kind of control element at a critical time...
Cannot happen, it happened in the past, thanks to the f***** up companies which sell windows based monitoring consoles!
Naturally, but even on the backend side of things you run into the occasional microsoft problems, I will give you an example, reporting, CSV... there is some breakage in the format between european and us versions, the euro symbol comin in into the backen from Microsoft browsers non standards compliant etc, you have to do something which hooks into the word format, good luck, customers demand that you can get (into fill any microsoft product there), because Microsoft can do it also, but you run into specs straight from the brothers Grimm...
And I agree, there is lots of software development which is not that problematic, but that is one where you can exclude the factor Microsoft entirely, as soon as you even run into the name Microsoft all these problems, no matter at which stage of development you are in, arise.
And good luck having to deal with a company which tries to make things as hard as possible for anyone else...
That is the reason why I said, without the problems Microsoft constantly causes around 50% of all programmers probably would be jobless.
Same goes for system administration btw...
Working around the myriads of problems imposed by shoddy or non standard compliant microsoft software is what programmers are paid for 90% of the time, the bosses or customers simply do not see that directly.
If Microsoft would comply to web standards for instance around 50% of all web programmers probably would lose their job because the worktime could be cut by half... Usually if you do html programming it is like that, make a page, which works on every browser, spend the rest of the time (which is somewhere between 50 and 90%) to get it up and running in IE as well...
Actually no, SQL server in its old incarnation still is Sybase rebranded, the newer one Yukon will be a complete rewrite.
(And probably break the TDS protocol)
I would be more scared by having corrupted data on mysql (which happens more often than you can think) thank having a task trigger from time to time which does vacuum on the db repo without damaging anything.
Yes vacuum still is there, almost any db has it, it helps to keep the db fast and yes there are facilities which let you do the task automatically.
Not stupid but somewhat out of the scope of history, with a different history your assumptions could be valid though...
as for the link, it is in german (dunno if the getting free if you live one year in a city was a german only phenomenon)
http://www.adlexikon.de/Stadtluft_macht_frei.shtml
the translation to sum it up, cities became refugee areas for unfree people (farmers, people owned by the landlords) so over the years it became custom, that a person living in a city for a year became a free person..
The historical background was, that in the late middle ages early modern times, many european farmers over the years sort of were enslaved, the landlords did not call it slavery but they called it "body ownership" the right of the first night also was assoicated with it...
The last remnants of this slaverey were abandoned in Central and Western Europe at the time of enlightment in Russia in 1918.
Cities were sort of a possibility to break out of this cycle. But living one year in a city ofte was impossible, because the workers there were organised in guilds, which basically were a controlled cycle of people and only allowed a certain number of people to work in a special profession.
So giving the assumptions you drew out of the game, that cities were a weapon of enslavement, in Europe they werent, that enslavement happened long before when local protectors which a few generations before were hired by local farmers to fight plundering tribes suddenly became an enslaving oligarchy.
The funny thing is that the higher percentage of vacation time leads to a higher overall productivity.
The reason is, because people tend to work more focusedly and are generally in better shape and motivation.
nice interpetation but totally stupid...
the growth of cities pushes the farms away, but usually citites start as trading posts for local farmers, once they become bigger people flock in due to work shortage and the local farmers usually sell their land...
this has nothing to do with suppression, patents on bio stuff and the middle ages system of being owned by the landlord has much more to do with suppression, and in fact the middle age european cities got a tremendous growth because local farmers could flock in there and once they lived there for a year they were free persons.
Actually no that was a thing of the eighties, is has been banned in the late eighties.
The funny thing is, that over here, diesel cars with good emission filters are very common, and many of those cars have a better fuel per mile ratio than the hibrids which are fashionable in the US...
Depends... you can force the adoption of standards if you have a set of testsuites everybody has conform too, Sun does a nice job with java in this area, it would help the opendocument consortium if they would enforce such a policy as well
Death as physical thing is not defeatable, it is a necessity of life, that death has to occur, the problem is that if you are right with your assumptions
(I think lots of Gnostic thinking is bull....
but the behavior of those guys really probably can be rooted into the fact of not being able to accept death)
The problem is that those two guys have totally lost the focus on the important things in life, Bill less than Stevie boy.
Kindof pathethic spending an entire life in trying to crush the competition just to feel yourself better, with all those billions at least Steve seems to me to be one of the poorest humans in life.
is supporting OpenDocument, Sun, IBM, Corel, KOffice, Adobe, pretty much every company which has something remotely office like, only Microsoft does not do it.
Given that the US and EU government also had their hands in the specification of this format, you can expect more things like that to happen.
Microsoft finally either has to adopt open standards (which is the usual situation outside of the software world, with government contracts, but Microsoft does not see that) or is shot out.
I expect similar things to happen from the EU soon...
You should feel sorry for us as well, I am european and this absymality has taken over here as well, having people driving those monsters for a five minutes walk is a common site over here as well...
America is to blame for a lot of things pollutionwise, but it is always easier to blame the others while were are almost equally bad.
In the city where I live we have good public transportation, yet the general public prefers to use the car as well, because it is just a tad more convenient, even with finding a parking lot, but only as long as you do not run into one of the several daily traffic jams...
Actually I was talking to a friend about this, and he basically said, too many easy weapons, in combination with poverty which leads to high drug abuse (not the drugs are the problem, the poverty is which leads to drugs)
and once people are deprived of drugs they go haywaire.
I would add to that a self induced high acceptance towards violence, due to a wrong focus, and an overwhelming you can only survive on your own mentality (which is not working in a situation like that)
It could be true, I mean looting for food can happen at such a desaster it is natural and understandable, but taking away tv and other industrial junk in such a situation is out of any logic at all, because it is really junk at situations like that.
And no it is not normal that at such a situation severe looting and shootings arise, Europe was hit by a flood three years ago, I can remember similar chaos situations where the politicians simply were unable to do anything. People started to act on themselves, opened roads broke damns, just to save others, in the end people started to stick together, I cannot remember having people running around shooting and looting although it would have been possible, everybody tried to save everybody elses ass, by trying to control the flood or trying to rescue others.
I also can remember the stories of the days after WWII one thing my parents and grandparents told me was that people started to stick together like they did not used to ever before and afterwards to bring everything which was in ruins and ashes up again.
There simply was no other way of survival.
Also the Tsuanmi an Asia did not lead to the chaos which currently is shown, although it was worse, people also seemed to stick together and start to rebuild things.
Same goes for the midwest flooding in the nineties, I am not sure what is different this time, but this is not normal behavior for a huge catastrophe, not even for the USA...
Actually most western european countries gave the offers rather quietly (I am from Austria and expected that they will do something, but they do not make a high profile political case out of it, because this is a standard give back situation),
because this is what is needed in a situation like that, money does not very much in this case, money is needed in the long term, and probably can be raised from the US themselves, what is needed now, is material, rescue workers, doctors etc....
And the US should be wise to accept the situation and do not play the tough man, this is not a time for political games, but to stick together to ease the desaster.
The political debates will follow, for sure, as well as the search for a scapegoat (which is equally false in this situation)
but this is not the time yet.
This is pretty much the whole way how the world will be able to handle the upcoming catastrophies (and they will come) the world has to grow and stick together...
To my knowledge lots of countries have offered (and the us probably has accepted) aid
I know for sure that all european countries did, even the poor Balkans and of course Russia as well...
I am pretty sure most of the world who can afford it has done it by now.
How much of this aid has been accepted by the US gov is another question.
The problem is, that most of this aid, cannot be there overnight which is needed...

Ahem if you have a jvm installed you should have webstart out of the box, unless it is the broken M$ engine...

did you adjust eclipses memory settings in most cases this eliminates the slowness...
Actually no, it feels and behaves like a normal IDE, most people and that is mostly a documentation problem, run it with the default memory settings, while they work, eclipse will start to choke once you dump a load of files into it or once you hammer it with a handful plugins.
