ACK. I could not resist anymore. look where it look me:
Karma: Bad
But at the end this is always a thing between two entities. If my karma is bad for them, then this implies that their karma is bad for me too.
And in this case i'm okay with this.;)
(As long as it does not become the heise.de golem.de situation.;)
> Operator overloading is great, as long as it is done in a sane fashion.
As i first learned java soem years ago, i learned that java's concept was to be very sane and portable.
So it would not be java's concept to leave the sanity as a task for the user, but rather java should enforce sanity. In that case i agree that operator overloading would be a great thing.
(until then i will rave about haskell's way to solve this thing;)
> you execute a program and it will run before next Christmas (not something you can say for Java).
poeple keep on using this "argument". but they silently ignore that it's up to your choice:
1. do you want it to run on all systems OR 2. do you want it to be optimized to run fast on a system
normally you can't have both, and i think it's a great achievement that the java virtual machine (still a non-removable layer of conversion) can do it that fast on so many different systems. (while.net an practically get compled straight to windows-stuff)
so please don't use that false argument anymore (or bring some details why it's legal)
thank you

I think.net could have more vulnerabilities, but they need the time to be detected. So the comparision isn't that fair.
And.net has to be secure on only one system (windows).
Additionally because of the closed source it will even be harder to detect bugs in.net and this will take longer.
whether this is good or bad is up to your point of view.
> It feels like they looked at Java and stripped out the bad and produced easy to use clean languages.
Well, i don't know if this was just false rumor, but i heard microsoft hired the initial designer of java. In that case of course it feels like that because the designer wanted to do the next generation of his idea where some things are tought further.;)
The only problem is that big drops of superglue never drye out. Superglue is made for very very thin layers between two surfaces.
What you need is to take a plastic lineal, cut out a guud piece, then heat the screwdriver's tip in the oven and melt the lineal-part onto the floppy-hole.
You even read this? Okay, go on: here's some trivia for you:
I only noted *some* of the programs i really use every week.
Now: Guess my job!;)
The prize is: A box of nothing! (Think of the possibilities: you don't have to pay tax if you have *nothing*. No one will steal your stuff because everyone knows that you have *nothing*. And you can sell *nothing* to onter poeple for even more money, so they also have *nothing* and don't have to pay the tax. And if the police comes and they tell you you have to stop selling you can - with a big grin - say: "but, i really swear: i sold *nothing*;)
Hmm... i always read messages like "tell me somethign you can't do on linux!"
well... i hate to say this, but here are the programs i use on windows where e definitely could *not* find a replacement for linux that is really the thing:
- WISO Mein Geld 2005 (cash management, banking,...)
- Lotus SmartSuite (maybe there never will be an interface like this again.:( )
- Macromedia HomeSite+ (tell me one program that gets *all* the non-coldfusion functions. no jore. i really use them all and can't work without them anymore)
- Adobe CreativeSuite (well, most of it. again, i may be the ony one to use that much functions of those program, but i do. and gues what: again i can't live without them)
- Macromedia Flash MX (waiting for a real SVG-replacement.;)
- WinAMP 5 (all those linux players just aren't the real thing. i'm sorry to say this but i feel dirty to use them;)
- Steinberg Cubase SX 3
- NI Absynth 3
- NI Guitar Rig
- Propellerheads Reason
- NI Reaktor
- Steinberg WaveLab
- Trillian 3.1 (personal differencies between the miranda poeple's attitude and mine;)
- Agnitum Outpost Firewall (try installing such good security on linux in *the same time and with the same required knowledge*)
As you can seethey all are problems from obvously linux-ignorant companies.
But is it their fault? I think at least not fully, beause there still are some small things here and there that just don't seem to do it for thos companies. Just look at the X-windows-system. There's gnome, there's kde, there are apis here and there... I don't want to rant. *really*;)
So you can ignore all te rest, but you have to agree with me that there are simply some *special* programs missing. Those that not every user uses.
Sure, this has not the priority. But every user has at least one program that does not work.
Same goes for the developers of those apps: there is at least one place where there's too much api-chaos going on. (at least this is my perspective).
And - as sad as this is - it simply seems to be human nature, to stay as long as ther still is something you don't want to lose.
now go on, call me a troll and whatnot. that's all okay for me, because you still know it's true. and maybe it even starts some new ideas in poeple's brains to overcome just this thing. (...what would make me very happy *sniff*:)
> First, I would love for us to participate so that more of them could be built and used by you, Russia, AND the US.
I I had a way to decide it, the invitation would be in your mailbox already.;)
But i guess most of the world just does not thrust the government if the usa anymore.;P
Let's hope this gets better...
> the fact that we (the US) seem to be relinquishing our lead.
good thing i think... but because i don't like *any* country to have something called *lead*, not beause i would not like to see the usa at the top notch. and this, again, is because i think such a enforced difference does slow down progress the same way as closed protocols and apis do.
and this does count for all sides.
I don't think you should see this as a concurrency issue.
If you would see it as the russians and we (europeans) are doing now, then you would come to us and ask if we can work together more closely.
And we would say: Sure, why not? Let's build an international shuttle.
We europeans think is't somewhat arrogant to argue as if you were the ones who could decide what we (the whole world in this case) are allowed to do. If you think this is not true, then simply read your own scentences as if they were written by an european/russian guy and see if you still think the attitude is ok.;)
I guess the biggest problem in the usa is that the education has become really bad. But don't worry. The same happens in germany (where i live) right now.;P
The scaring thing is that, if you want to see what happens to a country with bad education, look at some arabic countries.:(
An as with the pony, I would be very surprised if it acutally happend. Nonetheless I would be more happy to get a holo... (...pony, than the real thing. Humm... Am i already too geeky to heal from it?;)
I ould not recommend GSM anymore beause, come on, it's a little bit outdated, no?;)
I know that some companies want to use wifi as nexgeneration cell phone network. So i would simply look for a wifi-compatible smartphone and a sip-client for it. the rest should be no problem and you would even be able to use oter wifi access points (using encryption of course)
I guess this will also be my plan for the future, even if i can't put off my tinf^H^H^H^Hnanotube beret because of the poor "all over the place" radiation.;)
... IBM helped AMD out to design the Athlon. At least this is what i read when it came out.
The autor also said that at this time AMD were barely able to compete with intel, and maybe IBM did not want intel to become the only player in the consumer processor market.
I don't remember everythign but i know ibm gave amd some important technologies to keep up with intel.
So they must be in good contact and maybe Jeff VerHeul (is this really the correct notation?) worked with amd for years now and just decided to make it official...
This is the same principe that allows mp3s to compress so highly. For *any* evnt that goes trough our senses, a high level of excitation will make following low levels so irrelevant that you can't recognize it.
So this is nothing new. It's just a simple neuronal "effect", like the effect that you remember more importantthings better.
But one could even extend it to the fact that *negative* things will be remembered better than positives ones with the same level.
But i definitely count sexual images as positive!;)
If you do not, then you have to face it: you don't like/do sex, you will become extinct. (but don't tell it to those christian extremists;))
I guess there will be much more uses for this effect in the future.
Well, in fact i know a french guy who was inthe second french league adn wanted to get in the first.
And he learned the followign things:
- First he learned that you *have* to know how to roll behind someone and touch his rear wheel with your front wheel in a way that he crashes without hurting you.
- second this is how the teams get tested for drugs: first: there is *no team* in the tour de france that takes no drugs! not even a single one!
second: every team gets tested by a doctor of another (concurring team).
but the doctors gave their team the drugs so if they test the other team dey don't find anything because the don't want to. it's like adeal between all the teams.
third: if you get in the situation where you did somethign stupid and someone wants to kick your ass then the doctor just has to do real tests and you're out of the game.
so of course they test everything like crazy. and of course they normally do find nothing.
but they still take drugs, because they all have an unwritten agreement for this.
so i'm sorry to shock you but this ist first hand information (from 2001, but i can't imagine that it changed)!
Mhhh... you're right... this terrorizing you have to undergo from your own government is unacceptable.
Take it down! Now! (Remember: The poeple are the nation. You pay the government to work for you. So fire them! This is your right!)
Why do US-poeple NEVER get it??
USA != AMERICA!
DAMN!!!!
Maybe because they think the world is a state of the usa! (like iraq is).*
-----
* (if you ask poeple here in europe if they think us-poeple are *that* stupid to think so, they answer "sure. why not? just look at what they do, how they talk and how they behave. they think the whole world is theirs and the're the world-police, but don't even know a thing about other countries.". of course this does not count for *all*. but sure it counts for *most*. and i'm sorry for the rest.)
> 'financial identities stolen by cyber-jihadists eager to build more backpack nukes.'
only some american capitalist could think that you need money to get nukes.
in some ex-soviet-union-states you can get them for a song (or if female: for a fuck).
or what#s with stealing them? if you're a big jihat organization this should be no big problem.
and if it is, just talk to the religious exremists in your country that follow you, or the religious extremists in the usa that are your friends...
no problem...;P
