I wonder why people even try that any more on here. There are millions of readers, that amount of coverage will generate a population that has read most every tech article on the internet. So why plagarize them? I mean, you may even run into the author of the article on here.
Do the old highschool trick of moving key words and sentences if you are so desparate for karma.
True, however, as I mentioned to the other commenter, you should be able to pick up any new paradigm/language very quickly. IMO, if you can't adapt, you learned how to code incorrectly. I guess I should have mentioned that in my post.
Seriously, does anyone do GUI development in assembler?
You bet. Lots of demo coders (arguably the best coders on the planet) use pure ASM to do their stuff.
Also your analogy, IMO, is a bit off. A neuron cannot do anything by itself, if you want to compare a brain to a neuron, it would be more like VHLL = brain, opcode = neuron. I don't know exactly what a good analogy would be, maybe like those little russian dolls that fit inside each other.
I would say that the concepts are all that matter. If you have a good understanding of the machine as a whole, and know good algorithms, even just theoretically, then it should be no problem to hop from language to language.
Are you kidding me? If someone can't understand OO, and yet understand assembler, I would be surprised. Maybe I have a different view than most, but OO is extremely simple. I mean, wasn't that the point? And it is just syntax. It all translates down to assembler in the end. Any programmer worth his/her weight in salt should be able to pick up a new language/API within the timespan of about a week, maybe two if it's completely different (Like Lisp, for example). Now obviously they won't be a master at it right away, but they won't be writing moronic loops and doing other dumb stuff because they KNOW what's going on under the hood.
The parent to my original comment made a good point, people with no low level experience don't know what they are doing with things like interrupts, DMA, etc... I've been helping a friend of mine with a school project. He's very smart but wasn't really grasping the concept that you shouldn't play with the timer interrupt inside the timer interrupt callback.
And you could easily make a Win32 GUI in Assembler. Everything is just push data, call API, push data, call API, push data, call API. Yeah, development would go a bit slower, but it could be done, and not very "perversly".
It also gave me a better appreciation for optimization. The cycle counting, the instruction scheduling, cheap tricks that save 30 cycles here and there (like SHL a few times instead of Multiplying). I miss having that sort of control. Coding for DOS was always a learning experience too, becuase you basically had to write an OS everytime you wanted to do anything non-trivial.
I learned Asm before I learned C, and I must say that was a good way of going about it. I'm glad I don't view C as some sort of "hocus pocus", and I never did. Everything just made sense. Now-a-days you've got Joe Blow with dollar signs in his eyes and his shiny new degree in using Java, who doesn't understand the little black box he's entering commands into.
It sort of pisses me off, because I don't want to put gay little buzzwords in my resume like C#, or Java, or.NET. I should be able to put down "Assembler: x86, z80, s/390" and the idiot HR guy should know everything else is a simple matter of syntax.
Is it fully protected to the point the palm won't die hard if an app overruns its allocated memory? Every device I've ever used without a protected OS needed the damn batteries removed to restart, and that, my good sir, is a pain in the ass.
That reminds me of those crazy keychains my dad carried which had a radio reciever, so if he needed to log in from home, he needed to check his keychain. It broadcasted a value every minute I think. I remember how much that thing pissed him off, because it was always freaking out, or he'd put in the number and then the minute would elapse and the number would change.
Seems like you could use a standard port for synchronization, but then that defeats the whole knocking idea.
All the ingots I've ever seen (and I live right by the Motorola Museum, free admission WOOHOO!) were dipped like caramel apples. They end up looking pretty neat when completed. Like a wierd condom.
I won't get any extra points for this becuase I'm having trouble imagining what you're saying, but if you mean the radius of the ring blade is greater than the diameter of the ingot, that's so it can slice the wafer in one clean cut.
On that line, isn't it possible to just write some smart code to use the video signal (off the R G or B signal) to transmit audio signals? I mean, it would take a bit of doing, but it would be like the TI-8x's that were hacked to play sounds through their link ports.
The guy who designed the first Athlon was a former DEC engineer (Dirk something-or-another). Also, the original Athlon bus was almost identical to the EV-6 Alpha bus, minus the SMP stuff. The Athlon has taken quite a few pages from the DEC handbook it would seem.
The only respect he gets from me is that he knows how to play the game. And saving it in a bank is a poor idea, because it isn't circulating. Despite being used to invest in more money for the already rich bank board/pres/executives, that's not circulation.
One thing people seem to forget, GW is a BUSINESSMAN, first and foremost. I don't necessarily agree with all his stunts, but I do know that he knows what he is doing with our money. That $300 tax rebate was supposed to be SPENT. Fucking uppity morons who put that shit in their savings account then made fun of Bush (on TV even, what fools) don't know shit about shit. Man, how annoying that was to see. Grr, I need some tylenol now.
You could also just upgrade the microcode, in which case you would have a more future-proof design. (In thoery anyhow, Capitalism doesn't enjoy future proof designs).
You gotta change that link to "Obligatory Litigious Bastards Link". Google has managed to put some sort of stop on the google bombing of SCO. And maybe even Caldera I guess.
Are you serious?
Echelon is a huge computer system, pretty much designed to intercept as much communication as possible. According to the admissions of 4 of the 5 countries that use it/made it, it exists. It has the capability to intercept any telephone communication, and probably any email, dissect it for key phrases, and generate warnings about suspected "problems" (like a secretive, electronic, TIA Act). It also was reputably used against some French technology firm for industrial espoinage (I think it may have been Airbus for Boeing, but I don't remember).
What do you think happens when you try to allocate 8K of RAM 300,000 times? There are applications out there that could do that very easily. You should care about malloc, because all it does is call the OS's lower level memory allocation command, just like every other language does. Just because you never dynamically create variables in VB or Java doesn't mean they aren't dynamically created beneath you.
You are an odd fellow, I recommend psychiatric help.
And is that some sort of threat? "Don't come to India for any Medical Treatment?" Laughable. Your country has one of the highest rates of academic dishonesty on Earth, I wouldn't piss within a mile of an Indian Hospital let alone let myself be admitted into one. Also, why would you say that? Are you going to tell ALL the doctors in India to perform malpractice on me? Good fucking luck. Find me in the sea of 1.1 billion people you pack in over there. Maybe I should have a checkup over there just to see if you can do it.

Wouldn't a 1500W microwave at 2.4GHz start to cook you? I mean, what is the resonant frequency of water? I thought it was about 2.4GHz.
And why did they use humans? Why not breed cattle or some other beast, and kill all the humans?

Hey dumbfuck, that money only profits THE BANK. No bank is going to put the interests of the economy before itself.

No, a TRUE geek wouldn't be able to lift a 24" CRT ;).
