Expand a java element in the Package Explorer View. Drag and drop it to where you want (eg another class). Eclipse does all the needed refactoring for you.
Er... I meant Drag and Drop *text* editing; sorry if that was vague. There's lots of stuff I can drag and drop, but I can't hilite some text, drag it to another portion of the window/view I'm in (or even another view), and drop it there. Nor can I control-drop it to copy it there. Nearly every other text editor on the planet (except MS Notepad;)) has that capability.
Lots of nifty features.I especially like the version control options (not just CVS, but several others, apparently), the program entities graph, and the call graph. Very nifty tools; if only I could get them on eclipse!:)
I mean, seriously... why play games on your cell? As if the battery didn't last short enough as it is, you wanna waste more of it on a full-color screen? Just get a GBA and be done with it.
Oh, you want the best of both worlds, eh? Well, maybe Nintendo will produce a cell-phone addon for the GBA. Wouldn't that be neat?
president@whitehouse.gov has got to be the most well-known email address on the planet. How many penile lengthening offers does GWB get a day? I'm sure it's pretty high. Then there's ginseng supplements (maybe he could use them?;)), and real estate deals, oh, and let's not forget all those important emails from the president of Nigeria!
Ok, let me make sure I'm reading this correctly... You are currently using VHS, and the picture quality bothers you, but DVD artifacts bother you MORE? Did I read that right? DVD artifacts and pixelation bother you so much you won't leave VHS?
I'm not going to type anymore about this, that is just sbsurd.
Good point. Is it possible to mod the article -1 Troll? Seriously; I've never heard of a DVD that had a bad picture when compared to VHS. The article *has* to be a troll.
I have many fond memories from years ago of playing Escape Velocity while avoiding writing that paper (it was always "that paper") on the Macs in college. Those were the days.
Nowadays, I've just got my PC. Being able to play EV again has probably made my year.
Of course, now I'll be playing it to avoid writing "that program" (and it will always be "that program"), but hey, new days, new ways.:)
XML is great because it's extensible and a markup language. It's great for storage, configuration files, and certain forms of data transmission (which is just a sub-set of storage).
What XML is not good for is performance-critical transmission protocols. It's too verbose and too complex, and both are bad for protocols. That is the mistake made by the author of the article. Go with a structured protocol and skip the XML.
In a way, those regulations are a good thing: they're designed to keep the public from harm. At least in my opinion -- I'm sure other more paranoid people will claim ulterior motives;).
I mean... what would happen if we removed the regulations surrounding, say... automobiles? Nobody needs a license to drive. No stop lights. No speed limits. Ok, that'd probably be a good thing in many cases, but still.
I know talking about D is already redundant on this article, but I'd like to anyway. Improving c++ is great, but where c++ *really* needs improvements is the syntax. It's time for c++ to move into the 90s and get rid of the preprocessor. It's unnecessary with modern compilers, and it's a pain in the ass.
One of the stated goals on the.pdf file linked is to make c++ easier to learn, but many of the syntactic kludges in c++ (like the preprocessor and the differences between a pointer and a reference) confuse the hell out of newbies. It's time to adopt a syntax more like Java while retaining the power of native compilation and library creation that c++ gives.
get over it? bah. the main complaint that D&D gamers have over the price increase is that when TSR was in charge, you had to go out of your way to find a book or module that cost more than 25 bucks.
Um.... I think you've got that backwards. There's a reason TSR was monikered T$R, you know. Back when TSR was in charge, it was impossible to find a source book for *under* $30. At the time 3e came out, the 2e core rulebooks were $39.95! Hell, the "Complete book of" mini-sourcebooks were 30 bucks! And you're complaining that WotC *raised* prices?
Sure, Python compared to C is slow, if you use calls written in Python rather than C (many Python modules are written in C with Python bindings). But compared to, say, Perl or Ruby? I'd say they're about on par.
Where Python is superior to C is the fact that Python is a higher level language. Easier to code it, easier to get things done, etc.
I've seen some people complain about the 3.5 initial offering price on other boards. To them I say "get over it". The only reason the 3.0 core books sold at around twenty bucks for the first printing was because WotC knew everyone was gonna buy the damn things and bought a huge number from the printers at a substantial discount. They're not going to sell nearly as many this time around, so they're not buying as many, so they're not getting a huge discount for them.

I agree.... Eclipse is the best IDE, hands down. It lacks a few key features, however:
:(
1) No drag/drop editing. This really is a must, and I can't think of why they haven't bothered with it.
2) No visual GUI editor. This is available for a price, though. I just wish it were free.

Nobody has anything to say about paralell computing?
Neither do I, really. It's interesting, but impractical when you're stuck with only one computer.
I suppose I could say something along the lines of "imagine a beowulf cluster --".
You know what... on second thought, I won't.
This is an example of the wrong way to use XML.

I'm not schitzophrenic!
Me neither!
Ug. I make myself sick sometimes. I'm such a bandwidth whore.

Oh, and "Droooooooooooooooooooool!!!!!!1!"

"software projects naturally attain a state of self-organized criticality," eh?
Clearly they've never looked at the code I have to maintain!
What's so great about Java?
;)
Same question, really.
Or, pardon me, a change to the syntax. I thought that was implied by the thread suggesting that we, oh, I dunno, change the syntax?
I agree with you about macros; there's not a single thing that a macro can do that can't be accomplished with an inline function.

Already done!

How am I supposed to know if I like the look and feel if there aren't any screenshots? :D
Imagine the premiums!
