Ok. I've been corrected. Its not design by contract from a purist perspective, but it is a practical implementation of the basic principles that doesn't make your head spin.
Definitely. I've been following this closely and like the lanaguage enhancments they are doing. Very useful enhancements that do not majorly change the language but certainly improve productivity.
Oh BS... I use inline assembly and pointers and just about everything thats in C in Delphi. You have no clue of what you are speaking. Pascal doesn't hide the difficult part, it just makes it more readable.
Looks like the US army has a serious military policy problem.
The U.S. Army and other military branches have no policy problems. The military simply implements the political policy of the civilian U.S. Government.
Now, that being said, I agree with anonymous coward in that many times for the purposes of training, one will walk right into an ambush that could be easily avoided simply to provide "Good training". Every excercise has many changes in whom is OPFOR (opposing force) and who gets to walk blithely into a stupid situation.
A comment on the combined EU armies... bwaaaaahhhhhaaaaaaa... You guys get France.
Another comment on the maintenance of the current levels of spending: We have a war going on and, yes, China is a concern.
Programmer writes gobs of Perl code and employer is scared to let anyone else touch it, thus ensuring Job Security (much like C++).
*OR*
Programmer writes gobs of Perl code under employer instruction and so, goes rapidly insane trying to maintain his own nightmare.
Either way, both retire to a trailer and a bait shop, the ultimate goal for all geeks when they get tired of constantly retraining, competing with cheaper labor, working too many hours, and avoiding sex through no fault of their own.
Bad day to quit consuming Caffeine . Yes, after I posted that I realized misunderstood the intent of what you were trying to say.
And, yes, I do race all those modified Civics, etc. Cuz, the speed of the car is actually not the most important part of street racing..... its massive balls and a small penis...
Cya, Mea Culpa.
Ok. Where are you at? Possibly you and I can get together somewhere at a stoplight and see if your 04 Prius is faster than 04 Accord EX.
Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were serious.
Ok. I know I'm going to get crap for this, however, Pascal is a good language that is easy to learn, readable, and efficient. Most people complain that its a "teaching language" and is not "industrial strength" however, tell that to the embedded programmers who still use it.
Some Pascalisms, I agree are fairly annoying, but why not update the language instead of defining an entirely new one. There are at least two open source Pascal compilers (GNU and FreePascal) so why not make some efforts in bringing those two languages up to speed with some of the features that everyone is griping don't exist in this language or that language?
Eiffel is arcane, but does have some useful features that others lack. However, I'd much rather have a language which is readable, efficient, well known, and available for many platforms.
Lets work with what we have. Too many damn languages are being invented rather than concentrating on what we have and making it *right*.
CA is where software products go, not to die, but to become UNDEAD software. The majority of their products would be better off with a stake in their heart. So, with all the undead walking around, why is it suprising that they are associating with SCO Vampires, which are, obviously, just as Undead.
I loaned my vehicle to a friend for a few days last night which was supposed to be returned around 10PM. Around that time, she called and was frantic because she was late and she could not disable the alarm to get into it. I had no idea what the heck was going on.
Probably some SDI research gone awry. There is always wierd stuff going on here in the Las Vegas Valley.
Vegas is a great place to live. Always something going on, always something interesting happening.
One more comment, if NeWS was so cool back then, how cool is it now or could it be now? Maybe some effort should be made to talk to Sun about release NeWS as open source so that it can be updated and ported. Maybe this would provide a good basis for a new UI for Linux?
I've been running Linux off and on since 1992. My first freely available installation was Slackware. I also had Yggdrasil. In fact, they still are running on these two 386 33's that I have (I keep waiting for them to give up the ghost but they just won't).
That being said, if I can see that the lack of a standard interface is hindering the adoption of Linux as a desktop system, why is it that so many of you do not? Maybe I'm not as smart as most of you, however, a new standardized system makes an incredible amount of sense to me.
Windows may be buggy, slow, and bloated. However, it is predictable. Predictability breed familiarity and, as so well evidenced by Slashdot, contempt. This contempt that/.'ers have for Windows is based solely upon its success and ability to shape the market.
X has some great tools and does some things that Windows obviously doesn't. However, if the tools and concepts are difficult to take advantage of by the normal end user, how will it ever penetrate the desktop?
You may discount Y for technical reasons, however, that is no reason not to seek the next level in GNU/Linux development which is to provide the necessary basis for a *predictable* end user experience.
Um... how is this seamless experience really any different than say X-Windows opening a display on a remote computer?
Of course, I believe Elvis will return.
I believe, as part of a long term population control measure, China plans to establish a "human" export program to space. In addition to relieving population pressures and getting rid of undesirables such as proponents for democracy, the Chinese government also believes that this will distract the remaining citizens from the glaring black eye of their abysmal human rights record.
Of course, I'm waiting for Elvis to come back too
It appears to me that he is seeking some sort of computing martyrdom status. The action taken to register a website FreeAdrian.com etc. appears to me to be the work of someone who is seeking to make a point using the judicial system.
With regards to the lexisNexis (whatever) search. It might not make sense to some, however, shouldn't one have a right to view any material where they are a part of the subject matter (articles, etc). If the searches were simply on his own name (which I'm not sure if they were or not) etc?
I would think that this might have something to do with them not wanting the devices classified/associated with gambling devices. If they are, then they become subject to all sorts of regulation in all sorts of countries.
Of course, this could be a Cuckoo's egg. If on the one hand SCO asserts that IBM cannot sue based on the fact that IBM distributed this code under GPL, doesn't that mean SCO yanks the rug right out from under their own arguments?
The segway I didn't understand. This, I do understand.

It will happen in one of two ways:

How can we be sure that SCO did not copy Linux code into the SCO codebase?
