Just-in-time compilation is a form of interpretation. It is not a compiler, it just does some compiler-things internally. Anyway, whatever you may think, C# and Java are identical in that fashion. Their interpreters all use just-in-time compilation. In-fact even javascript-interpreters in webbrowsers use just-in-time compilation these days.
They have elections. I was asked to vote once. To run, a candidate must be an active contributor, this mean they had to have made at least 500 edits the last year. To find out what the candidates really stood for I checked their edits. Out of 60 candidates 60*500 edits were all related to the election, none of the candidates had done a single non-election related edit.
To play Devil's advocate, strcpy cannot check it's precondition. You can't tell whether a pointer you're given is valid, or how much space is left in the buffer.
No, but you could tell it, the buffer-size might not be written to memory anywhere, but if you as programmer doesn't know, then you are doing something wrong.
You never use std::string in C++, you would need a very good reason to do so, since no one else does. You use either C-strings or one of the abundance of string implementations,there is at least one for each framework or API. The good thing about the all the string-implementations is that most of them are very similar to, but much better than std::string, and usually they can be constructed with no memory copy, which makes conversation between them completely free at runtime.
Keep a distance between cars of at least 2 seconds. Who cares about reducing optimal human reaction-time. You might reduce the best-case reaction time from 300ms to 200ms, but you still have 0.5-1s of decision making before reaction-time kicks in, and then another 1-2s while the car breaks. Saving 100ms in leg movement doesn't seem very important, when the real risk is how long it takes for the brain to raise the alarm and decide on the correct action, and then the actual breaking which still takes a long time.
I cannot fathom why FLOSS developers claim it's all about liberty and freedom, then balk at the price.
Can you fathom why FLOSS users balk at paying $100/year + $1000 one time fee for access to free software that is always $0 free as long as they STAY AWAY from Apple?
Some parts of H.264, especially the parts where it is better than VP8 are very very recent. H.264 is actually not just one standard. In the same way VP8 is the latest iteration of VP6.
So compare VP6 to early H.264 or compare VP8 to equivalent recent H.264 versions. Even in the best cases they only come out even.

Set the DPI correctly then. The size of text and resolution is unrelated. If the text is too small, make the text size bigger, don't make the resolution smaller, that is stupid.
Since VP8 is somewhat older than H.264 I find that chain of events vert hard to believe... In fact I considered it logically impossible.
More likely both formats are based on the same research. Real research done by real researchers, who usually work for universities and publish their research royalty free to meet their published articles count, and to advance their academic career. Just like 99% of all genuine advancements in computer science are made.
That's a pretty contradictory conclusion, no? To extort anyone, they'd have to show the patents. As long as they don't show them they can not extort anyone.
No, to sue someone they need to show the patents. To extort, they just need to make threats.
This is the patent equivalent of vague threats like: If you don't pay us, we are going to hurt you... We have ways of hurting you you can't even imagine..
Labour lost the elections because people were tired of the sleeze. The consevatives didn't win because they were so beloved but because England has no third party... one that matter anyway. So voters flip-flop between the two main parties.
That is just amazingly wrong. Conservatives didn't win, they just didn't lose as much as Labour did. The conservatives got the prime minister post because England HAS a third party, and the third party won big the last election and supported the conservatives for being the largest of the two losers.
If the attacks is by Al Queda or Libya, it is only because they confused Denmark and Norway, or Denmark was too hard to attack. Both Libya and Al Queda is way more pissed off at Denmark. Muslims for the publication of the cartoons, and Libya for killing the entire family of Gadaffi and burning his face off (he has shown himself since Denmark bombed him and his family).
Does the USB-port dongle for the iPad even allow most USB devices? The one for the iPhone only allowed very specific protocols, and specifically NOT generic file transfers, the most common use of high speed USB.
Battery life? I don't think you'll get 8 hours out of them without bulking them up with a slice battery.
My latest Thinkpad has 9 hours of battery with the standard battery, 12 hours with the travel pack. The lastest Thinkpad Edge E420 has 7 hours on the built-in battery (not expandable).
So being right is stupid? Humans could go and live in Scandinavia and even north of the Arctic circle, Neanderthals could not and moved to south Europe during the last ice age, just when humans took over.
Actually Neanderthals could not survive extreme conditions, they stayed in southern France, and never moved north of that. As hikers go they are more like cushy charter tourists. Compared to them, humans were the hikers, including the interbreeding with locals around the Mediterranean. Neanderthals did have slightly more advanced tools than contemporary humans though.
Depends on what kind of work you have, and how much money. The worst big CEOs gets out of forgetting pretty much everything they have ever done, is being spoken harshly to by the judge or congress. I have yet to see a trial for obstruction of justice.

Being arrogant and condescending towards Apple users is a higher form of irony.

The new favorite attack from reactionaries: Attack the opposition with accusations of what you are doing.
In the debate people forget what is what, and many will be fooled into believing both sides are doing it.
That is just amazingly wrong. Conservatives didn't win, they just didn't lose as much as Labour did.

What is ridiculous about something being easy? Do you always ridicule easy problems?
There is no problem with "embarrassingly parallel", at least no bigger problem than with anything else in English.
If the attacks is by Al Queda or Libya, it is only because they confused Denmark and Norway, or Denmark was too hard to attack. Both Libya and Al Queda is way more pissed off at Denmark.

Yep. Norway is the origin and main producer of Nazi Death Metal music.

So: No, not 8 hours, only 7.

This is the UK not the US. Does the UK even have the concept the tainted evidence? I thought ignoring evidence was a US only brain-damage?
Apparently it is not hysteria. According to slashdot yesterday it is a mass psychosis.

Your phone could not, but your email-reader could. So could newsgroup readers from 1980s
