Seems faster to me running on my 3.9 kernel 2.6 ghz linux system. my comprable windows box seems sluggish running vb to me. also read an article last year about a code audit some one did on vb and they reported that the code was "laughably bad".
I've been using Parallels Desktop for several versions now but I won't be 'upgrading' to version 9 until this is resolved. Up to now, Parallels has been a great product.
Hardly useful; I use as many or as few source files as I require, no more, no less. I make a conscience effort to make the number of source files fewer, but that hardly matters if your user-facing interface or API is easy to use. If its documented well, there's hardly more you can do I think.
In summary, I think the action of the CPA was justified.
They would be if the object of the action weren't so arbitrary. I can think of several dozen other products that could be defined as dangerous but aren't, but they aren't a hot new item, are they?
What's stopping your dumbass kid from eating a ball bearing of the exact diameter of a buckyball? The strength of a typical electromotor case, I'm guessing. So why aren't the Fed banning vacum cleaners, etc?
Don't be an ass. Knowledge of rediculously out-of-normal-experience phrases and nonsense isn't a measure of dick size. Its a measure of asshole size. Guess how big your's is measuring right now...?
I'm just trying to resist the temptation to make a more obfuscated story... planetary "trojan points", lagrangian orbits, reaction masses... I feel like I'm reading the minutes of the last astrophysics jamboree. I know its/. and everyone likes to compare penis sizes but do we really need the jargon? This isn't the American Journal of Astrophysicists.
If only the Fed. were only as scary as Cardinal Biggles; "[he] shall be charged on three counts; heresy by thought, heresy by word, heresy by deed and, Uh, FOUR Counts.."
Everything Nichols says is true, but you don't have to use the Apple sanctioned development tools nor put your app in the app store if you just want to learn how to program.
Government is great at doing things that aren't profitable (or that no one wants to do). Other than that, Government has no reason to be in that market. Good example; the USPS. Every year the price of first-class mail goes up, but the service goes down. They talking about pulling weekend services accross the board. First class price changes almost weekly, so they came out with the "forever" stamp, a stamp with no price, and they're already talking about doing away with that becuase they're talking about raising the rate again; its too much of a moving target and they lose too much money with a priceless stamp. Finally the USPS lost billions lat year. Meanwhile UPS, FedEx, etc run circles around the USPS, are highly efficient, and highly profitable. But only the Fed can deliver first class door-to-door, they have a monopoly on that.
Regulate it like alcohol, including enforcing bans on driving while high, just like alcohol. Now tax the hell out of it, and end of discussion. The "war" on pot was a rediculous waste of fed and state resources, and created a permanant underclass of unemployable criminals who've done nothing more thann get high. The fed needs to get off its high horse and rewrite whatever laws are keeping pot in the "felony" lists (other than, like I said, driving while high that results in killing someone, maybe). Enough is enough. Knock off this sham.
Evolved, or devolved? I think the jury's still out on what will become of Apple post Jobs. I'd give it another few years to see whats become of Apple post jobs, but it certainly is well on the way to becoming another consumer products company without vision.

and if you were white you were dumb to go to the south bronx or harlem.
You wanna re-phrase that, ace? I don't think that came out the way you meant it to.

McAfee, is that you?
use fewer source files, fewer classes, etc.

Smaller is ALWAYS better. Period. I can think of so many uses for these cubes my mind is racing.
Other people will comment, but just to run over the carcass in my new LandRover s'more; Mega is Kim Dotcom's new file storage site.
Its fucking Kim Dotcom's new site. If you don't know what "Mega" means in this context you don't need to know.
...thanks for the huge back door up my ass, Kim.
...which is what you do to run any successful business. The hothardware article is a pretty sweet read if any kind of a hardware geek, btw.
At least if it's China that causes a meltdown then we'll be free to discuss it without having terrorist laws used against us.
No, they'll just send you to prison when you see an infrastructure project collapse due to faulty materials.

You're weird. There's nothing particularly jargony there.

Blah blah blah thanks captain jargon... you've made it ever so crystal for me.
Must. Resist. Temptation....

They appear to have thrown the first amendment out with the trash as well.

Apple evolved with the loss of Jobs.

Set up a lan. Takes some thought, but hardly impossible, even for neophytes. For extra credit have them set it up with dhcp, smtp, and named servers.
I posted this very same idea on /. last year.
Nothing wrong with LO. If it was full of bugs and problems we'd have heard about it long before now.
Its about money. There's no other reason to make an effort in anything in this world other than to gain extra cash.
