No, it's not "ONLY A GAME". It's a very, very popular game, it makes Sony sell a lot of PS2. I should know, I bought mine after renting one with GTA3 (and got hooked right away).
Also, think about it: I offer you a pile of money so you won't spend money to make a port to another console. Instant profit. That's great too.
Exclusive games are yet another weapon in the videogame war that is raging currently.
I've done one in Scheme, and it was a breeze compared to doing it in C. And you can represent a DFA pretty easily in a functionnal language, don`t worry about that.
Very interesting, do you have any link on that LMS algorithm? You seems to imply acoustic cancellation in impossible, have any idea why some people here pretends that they can do it? Does it really work?
Mmm. You know I work in telecom, and I think I might have an idea of who you're talking about, or what kind of company it is. Since you and I are both canadians, we know that the telco field around here is pretty small;-)
Hey, I'm doing my degree in a CS program in another of Canada's best for CS (UofMontreal). Around here in Montreal it's pretty good for jobs and stuff, I've been working for my whole degree and received multiple offers for when I'll finish.
And I don't think Open Source hurt our job market, they still always need people knowledgeable in integrating the free solutions and developping new product. Be afraid: you are one step from saying that software reuse is bad for the industry... I say it can only lead to better and more interesting project.
As for girls, man, I'm with you on this one. Except that I've had the chance to work with the nicest ladies of my program, and I managed to find a girlfriend somewhere else. Well, I'm single right now, but still have a lot of friends (that are girl) that I still call regularly, some will introduce me to their friends, some will take care of me on those cold winter nights...
Cheer up, life's good, don't give up.
The poster seems to be all excited saying: The article also speaks of the new Itanium with a 6Mb cache!"
Well, it's important to see that a fast and useful cache technology is much more than a big cache. You need good access times, good hit ratio, etc. Sometimes you can even get better performance by disabling the cache.
It's application-specific, don't assume bigger is better.
I wish that PERL had a GUI abstraction layer, similar to DBI for databases.
It does have it already, check CPAN.
Perl would kick Java's ass as a cross-platform app development language if it did.
No it would not. Perl doesn't even have proper multithreading, how can you pretend that it can compete with Java?
Each tool has it's use. Perl is great for text-processing, but is a toy for most of other uses (and is a damn fun toy, btw). Java is great for boring and usefull stuff like enterprise programming.

I think you'd need to be hitten with a clue-by-four.

use my, don`t use local, and you should be all set. (unless you think lexical scope is for weenies...)
Mmm so you mean that when I program with functionnal languages I'm not writing "real" lines of code?
Damnit, been working hard for nothing then.
Yeah, of course, there is never _any_ problems at all that can occurs when using free software.
My score for this "news": -1, troll.

Anyway, thx for the infos.
Ada, eh?
I sincerly thought that this language was dead, along with Lisp, Fortran
and Cobol, the other dead dinosaurs-era "programming" languages.
anyway, have fun.
[Perl] has also graphically failed several times in the telecoms world that I'm aware of.
I'd like to learn more about that, got any pointers?
thanks
You know what? This week it's my CTO week too! I get to be CEO every other week.
It really helps to be just 2 in a company.
a 5 well deserved, very enlightning post.

You can get xroach as a RPM here.
I meant quality of execution, like in real time applications, where a process can mess the cache for another and introduce jitters in the RT task.
