  1. Re:Analysis on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with "inept". It has everything to do with everyone dropping their axes once they saw a chainsaw in action.

    You'd have one helluva time rewriting Strategy Pattern in COBOL. I'd like to see that. I'd pay money to see that. ;-)

    How about Bridge? That's meaningless in a non-polymorphic language like COBOL.

    Are you saying that Inheritance has no value in programming? Surely you're not setting forth that notion.

  6. Re:Analysis on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 1

    What you're saying is fundamentally accurate, but that doesn't change the fact that everyone of the Patterns in GoF rest on OO principles.

    In other words, while what you say is true, the clearest and best manifestation of Patterns is done through OO.

    Too late.

  8. Analysis on The Post-OOP Paradigm · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How could Aspect, Pattern, and Extreme Programming replace OOP? That's ludicrous.

    Aspect programming doesn't have inheritance (that I am aware of) so it is a weaker model than OO. Although we should "...favor composition over inheritance", it doesn't mean we should do away with it! Also, where the polymorphic method behavior of Aspect?

    Pattern design's foundation rests on OO. Take away OO and Pattern can't exist.

    Extreme Programming has nothing to do with any of the above. It's not even an architecture. It lives under the misguided notion that since team-analysis works well, team-programming must work well too. ;-)

    Seriously though, any future developments in this area of science will surely pave the way for a new novel from Michael Crichton. ;-)

  13. Re:What's the big deal? on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 4, Interesting

    IMHO, that's too simplistic of a way to make a decision.

    I bet some of the cameras being used by the photographers don't have "red eye" reduction. Should they be fired too? Won't the red dot make the person look angry? ...and you're telling me that coverage of the news by the talking heads is pure fact and nothing else?

    C'mon folks, let's look at this more critically.

  14. What's the big deal? on Photographer Fired For Digitally Altering Photo · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Gee, I saw the 3 photographs and really don't see what the big deal is.

    I can see firing the photographer if he was trying to make something appear to have happened that didn't. That's not the case here. The original and re-touched photograph are conveying the same thing. This is a tempest in a teapot.

    I bet that famous photo of the sailor swapping spit with that woman after the war was over was probably Photoshopped too! I bet he was smelling his arm and they inserted her into the scene. ;-)

    Could the fact that there are twice as many books for C# indicate that it's twice as hard to use? ;-)

  16. What's up Sun??!! on Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I love Java and earn a living coding J2EE systems, but Sun's posture on not creating a public standard for Java is just ridiculous.

    It immediately creates the notion that Java is a proprietary language.

    Hard to believe that Microsoft's new language has two public standards and Sun's language has none. Is something wrong with this picture? Microsoft is starting to appear as a reasonable and responsible company and Sun appears as stumbling around in the dark.

    WTF?! I can't rip CDs to MP3s anymore and now it's illegal to use a VPN?

    Honestly, I'm starting to feel guilty as soon as I start using a PC. I must be breaking some law as soon as I sit down.

    It's about time for the otherwise useless ACLU to start some legal action. Finally, they'll have something to pursue that's worthy of their time.

  24. Creative Labs and Apple (et all) ought to sue RIAA on Copy-Protected CDs Going Mainstream · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If any CDs I purchase can't be ripped to WMAs/MP3s, I'm going to be super extra major pissed. I listen to ALL of my CDs via my Nomad Jukebox 3 40gb player.

    2) Rip CD to player
    3) Transfer songs to NJB3
    4) Listen to songs in car and at work

    I never, ever, ever listen to music off of the CD. Too damn inconvenient.

    Honestly, this is getting damned ridiculous. I never ever use the P2P networks, why am I being punished????????

    Creative Labs and other MP3 companies need to sue the living f*** out of the RIAA for starting to destroy a legitimate business. Honestly, who is going to want a useless MP3 player after all this is all said and done????????? Creative Labs and Apple (iPod) ought to unite and sue their az off!
