There are some people here who says that you should read and understand the code but that is just stupid
to start reading the code. The best thing to do is to use tools to analyze the code with tools so that
you can look at the system at different abstraction levels.
People that say that you should start at code level have probably never had a real job or have never
seen a system with 50k+ loc. When i analyze a system i use grep,sed and graphviz to draw various
diagrams for me at different levels. In that way i can understand the sytem much quciker and i dont
have to understand all the details directly. After that i can zoom in to the details by starting
at the right parts of the system.
So try to find good tools and if you cant find any try to use graphviz in combination with your
text processing tools of choice.
It isnt about programming language that affect speed it is about how good IDE i have. Even if python or Ruby has fewer characters or lines it doesnt matter since eclipse autogenerates almost anything in java. Speed is all about IDE.. and since you can use a complex language with the speed of a script language you get more control since it has strong typing and better support for object orientation which make large applications less errorprone.
I would have made an asbstract factory for saving games and an interface for the game saver.
IGameSaver* saver = gameSaverFactory.Create();
saver->Save( gamedata );
Kind of like that.. so that the saving of game
data is separated from the data model. This
gives me the abillity to save to disk or network
or any place i want by just making a new class
that implements the IGamesaver interface.
The projects i have been involved in has allways used one or two 3rd part components and even though we delivered the software we were not 100% happy with the results. When we first started using them all seemed find but as we used them more and more we discovered that they did not really match our requirements. So from now on i will probably still use COTS but im going to be very careful when selecting them. I think the best way is to make a requirement list of what type of component is needed and then select one that fits those requirements best. After that it is probably best to build a prototype to test those requirements. Relying on 3rd party components is a risky bussiness but if you use them with care they can save u some money and time.
Wont you need a something with greater accuracy than the subject to be able to measure accuracy in time? ex: use of atomic clock to measure accuracy of a normal clock etc.. And how do one measure accuracy of an atomic clock.. maybe that was said in the article but im so darn busy:)
A documentary with similar characteristics was aired in sweden just before election. It was indirectly attacking the conservative party by showing local leaders of the party beeing provoced to say rasistic stuff.. It affected the actual result of the voting if you look at statistics prior to the airing of the documentary.. I would rather have the US voting carrey for president but it would be unfair to show souch propaganda before the election. Even if there is an escence of trouth in the documentary it is presented in souch a way that it makes bush look like he is worse than hitler. Way cant jounalist make documentaries without presenting them like a propaganda from the cold war...
Maybe we will see the first phone with a floppy drive too.. the world would do better without moving parts in every electronic device.. More solid state to the people
I think that this may get fusion closer becouse now the US can put more money into the international project instead of its own. One good project instead of two half good projects.
Looks more like a solar parchute.. Compared to a sail on a sailing boat that can actually sail back to the location from which it came.. how are they going to get back with that thing.
Thinking of how we use resources on earth maybe their isn't anything worth coming back to..
Correction:
Microsoft.NET runtime JIT
MONO JIT
Portable.NET Interpreted
The IL bytecode can run on all of theese platforms so the C code compiled with portable.NET will probably run fast on mono and ms impl but not very fast on Portable.NET itself but will be highly portable which is just as important in some cases..
I find it easier to just wait for the latest version of my distribution and the install it. When i do that i get the (almost) latest software and kernel versions and it will hopefully be more stable than if i try to upgrade the kernel or libs. I have all my user configurations on a separate paritition so i can just create symlinks from my home dir which makes re isntallation really quick. i use mdk btw..:)
Is that with a c# compiler written by mono and dotgnu it can be ported to many platforms and modified and improved by many. Quality attributes souch as Portabillity is something that microsofts.NET Framework stuff doesnt have (ex. nasty com bindings to winforms).
I _think_ that the memory is not stored in to single multiple neurons over a long period of time. instead i think that the neurons act more like a cell in a RAM. Disabling single nerons will be more like reducing a cell from a ram memory and will affect the total memory capacity rather than just a specific piece of memory.
I could not belive my eyes when i saw the post. I knew it was coming any time this month but i allways comes as a supprise when i get the news. This is so great. I wonder what major distro will get it first.

The key can also be used to transfer things like driving instructions or music to the car's hard drive.
Or worms and viruses..

I think Time To Market is more of the cause of poorly designed software.

Really nice initiative.. looks great. but a feature that is nice in an ftp client is a Transfer Que :)
Hmm... Bright Blue building.. Watch out birds and choppers. Doh..

I thought i read somewhere that 2.6 had a feature that made it run on mmu less cpus. Why not use the 2.6 kernel more then?
Well maybe an upgrade to 7 stomachs wold be a good alternative.. it has not happen very much on the cow storage front for a couple of years
Since cows have 7 stomacks maybe a cow gut raid would bring faster or more reliable cowgut storage

The .NET VM is a Just In Time compiler which can perform in theory just as fast as a native or faster than a native compiled program.

There must be a standardisation organization to controll the evolution of the java language so that it doesnt split up in to many fractions..

In sweden it is really hard to get a hold
of a USB keyboard without wireless mambo jambo. Why are they still hanging on to that lousy PS2 ?

Its probably just the beer speaking...
see subject!
