Just curious, has any LUGs grown out of the 'vi vs emacs' war? I swear, every single meeting, it's the same thing over and over at my LUG, even if the topics were not related to it.
Yes, that's why I said that's a moot point for some programs (mainly the ones that has only a small chunk of codes, while processing a large chunk of data).
The parent has no idea what he's talking about, and needs to be modded down.
The generated code is not what makes Java slow; and given the example from parent's post, a c compiler (e.g. gcc) can also make the same optmization as a Java Virtual Machine and compiler.
What makes Java slow is the transition from bytecode to machine binary code: it takes time to translate and optimizes codes on the fly. This might be a moot point for some program, but there is also another reason why Java is slower: its garbage collector. Because of it, Java programs are guranteed to run at least 5% slower than C programs.
What's with all the anti-geeks clues that I get from this Grand Challenge thing...
First, if I'm not mistaken, DARPA channel can only be access through satellite; how many of us average geeks can actually afford it?
Second, the 3D tracking thing on DARPA's site requires fucking Shockwave player, which there are NONE in Linux. I know it can be run with the Crossover plugin, but I'm not going to buy it (or register for the demo) just for watching a useless 3D map.
Third, the CMU's broadcasting requires another fucking priorietary software - Quicktime; and in order to watch it in Linux, Crossover plugin is also required... (seriously, why couldn't they direct the broadcasting to MPlayer, instead of _requiring_ Quicktime?).
Oh well, guess I have to watch it on my roommate's Wintel machine.
This is necessary because Windows Firewire ports are usually non-standard.
As others have stated, only a troll could have invented the term 'Windows Firewire'; if anything, Apple would have a higher chance of having a non-standard port, given how their systems are proprietary. (An example would be their non-standard S-Video port.)
Expecting a Mac iPod to work with Windows is silly....
Guess what? The Mac iPod _did_ work with Windows through third party software. It's Apple's shitty windows programmars that broke it.
Seems like SCO pulled out their press release on the earning report... possibly to change the wording on how they "Own UNIX"? Did anyone save the original copy?

The plugin is working fine for me with Mozilla 1.3.
Yeah, it works with Mozilla on _Windows_; but unfortunately for the rest of us, there is shock player plugin for Linux.
Just FYI, the unresolved symbols only occur on non-SSE2 systems.
web sites like tomshardware.com are so pro-AMD and anti-Intel.
Maybe you should read this article at tomshardware.com.
I disagree; I would say Solaris is the biggest reason why Sun have loyal customers.

... People with too much money AND time.
It actually sounded like George Bush to me.
