Java 1.5 vs C#
·
· Score: 0, Troll
It might be a good step if Java becomes open source; then it's on a different playing field than C# because it seems that the authors of Java realized that C# is superior in many ways.
The playing field they would enter, however, already belongs to Mono.
So, who will survive?
I guess Java has started a revolution without an "exit strategy."
I catch your drift, I've noticed that all of the laptops I've used tend to head up rather quickly. They don't have the airflow to cool like other systems.
I imagine using a laptop as a server (e.g. always on) would quickly lead to its demise. I suppose you could open it up and repackage it, but I've torn some of those small ribbon cables doing that and made the laptop more inoperable than it was in the beginning.
There's always a solution, but many laptops just aren't made with the robustness of other computers.
Interesting snippit from Heston's speech that Moore spliced to change its message:
One more thing. Our words and our behavior will be scrutinized more than ever this morning. Those who are hostile towards us will lie in wait to seize on a soundbite out of context, ever searching for an embarrassing moment to ridicule us. So, let us be mindful. The eyes of the nation are upon us today.
I wonder if THAT is where he got the idea to make the movie?
In my opinion, all differing points of view deserve respect even if you disagree.. if and only if they are based on fact, and not if the facts are modified and presented in a different way as to support the opinion.
Opinions should be inspired by fact, and not the other way around.
What never ceases to amaze me is how, in America, we pay so much to hear and endorse other people's opinions. We give virtually no creedance to those who verify and contradict the supposed facts on which the opinions of politicians, movie makers, and anyone who controls the information flow are based.
Interesting tidbit: One of my students tells me that two of the colleges he's applying to-two of his top choices and also major state universities-told him they don't accept Java AP credit because it's not their language of instruction.
That is an interesting commentary on how well respected Java skill is in educational institutions.
(I'm not arguing against its usefulness.. Java IS a sexy language... But against its usefulness as an instructional language? Perhaps.)
Intelligent enough to understand that "client-server" is merely an ad hoc nomenclature rather than an absolute terminology, however pretentious enough to assume that it's ok to misspell a word if you put a little (sp) next to it.
Dictionary.com is just another peer, but it's only a click away.
Perhaps I should have used the less ambiguous but not as popular: "computer sending message connected to computer receiving message" rather than the accepted "peer to peer" in order to clarify my meaning.
If I wasn't a part of this thread, I'd mod you up. Thanks for an intelligent response as opposed to the standard anonymous flaming without any technical base we've grown so accostomed to on/.
By "in the know" I mean the few people who understand the world of computers vs. the many people who use computers.
Also, I'm not suggesting that p2p email is the solution to spam and such... I mean that if the few people whose opinions count can handle change, why not handle intelligent and open restrictions on the protocol? If the lack of restriction in email is the source of many of our problems and most of the users of email don't use the breadth of their opportunities, why not limit email's capabilities in a new protocol? That's all I'm saying. Whether the new protocol is p2p or otherwise, I don't care.
Think about ipv6.. would it be an improvement? would it be a change of protocol? why is that so different than improving or creating a new email protocol?
Email, right now, is not very restrictive. Up the standard, and you'll have many more constraints within which to work.
People have been calling for a p2p solution to email for a while, which presents its own challenges, but does suggest that those in the know are open to change.
Oh, and by the way, perhaps you didn't read my email. Perhaps that's why you feel it's important to remain in anonymity?
I said dynamic memory. In C++ with classes that means the "rule of three:"
if you have any one, you probably need all three of:
copy constructors
assignment operators
destructor
If you're never writing copy constructors, and you're passing by reference, you're not using dynamic memory. And the STL uses it for you, you're not using it there.
Put your objects in a vector, and put a verbose copy constructor in it, and see what happens throughout your program.
Exactly.
Make copy constructors with output statements and you'll see. Especially if you use the STL. If you don't, you probably reimplement it on your own, which is a pretty bad way to be a generic programmer.
I didn't invent the idea, my grad school Advanced Programming Concepts II professor suggested it. If you disagree with my statements, make your argument to him. You'll be doing a service to all, I suppose.
C++'s approach to memory management is about as streamlined as a Mack Truck.
Go ahead and put an output statement in your copy constructor, and see how many times your object is copied.
It would take a PhD in C++ to effectively heavily rely upon using dynamic memory in any large-scale C++ project.
dynamic memory in C=slicker code
dynamic memory in C++=disaster
Solution: STL?
Are we talking about same code with a different compiler or the same job done with different languages? For the former, you make sense. For the latter, you don't.
It's not our choice. Those that will willingly pay more for "better quality" domesticly manufactured goods are the outliers. Most people buy what they are selling at the best price they think they can get.
It's naive to think we can impose long-term thinking on millions of people, most of whom are living in debt and barely making ends meet, as it is.
The responsibility is in the companies, then, to give the people what's best for them in the mid and long term. Cheap outsourcing only helps companies in the short term, but I agree, it hurts everybody in the long...
Conspicuously absent: tabbed browsing. It's a simple and popular feature and it surprises me they didn't include it. Psst-Bill, you can just borrow the code from one of the many open sources that already have it, then brag about how you invented it!
Now, that's marketing.
As an aside, when is Windows going to include multiple desktops in their shell? I've used a number of third party pagers, but each has its drawbacks and flaws, probably because it's not written with the privilage of truly understanding the Windows code.

Although you make a good point.
I think it's a little different situation when you are talking about the movie industry spending a lot of money to make an excellent portrayel of one of the greatest fantasies ever written.
If a druglord were to donate an exorbitant amount of money to a TV campaign against drugs, would the campaign be any less valuable?
We can't focus on the cause, in this case.. we need to appreciate the effect. As well, we need to thank the people who brought the appreciation of a movie like this to the forefront of mainstream America.
