No one forces you to make apps for Android (that would qualify as torture anyway I guess)
Back then you had a choice of platform, today you have a choice too. It's certainly easy to bring a "I'm awesome" to the screen with Xcode and Swift.
And by the way, I was talking about BASIC and assembler/machine language. The latter certainly wasn't less complex than setting up the ADT in Eclipse (but probably more fun anyway).
How about Glass for an auto mechanic. Look under the hood of a car and it overlays the wiring diagram, exhaust diagram, part you're looking at with price and local availability, etc.
That could be nice. However, Glass does not overlay anything at the moment. It's more like a small screen in a corner of your vision, you have to look "up there".
Augmented reality certainly has a future. But Google Glass in its current incarnation is not it.
How do the fuck does a 5% worldwide market share kill linux ?
Well, even a 5% market share would be much more than a 1.5% market share and hence plenty to kill.
Although in markets as the US it is probably closer to 10%.
I'm always happy to learn new things and improve or revise my knowledge. So, if you could point me to some relevant documents, I'd appreciate it greatly.
I'm not a big fan of GC actually. Rather don't create garbage in the first place.
That's why you have concepts like ARC in modern Objective-C implementations. This frees the programmer from most of the memory management (like GC) but without the runtime performance impact. I don't see how Java compares better to Obj-C here to be honest, not anymore at least.
When Apple started to port OPENSTEP to the Mac, they actually even tried to implement Cocoa in Java or at least provide a Java-Objective-C bridge. Don't remember exactly how long they kept trying, but I guess they had good reasons to give up on it. It worked kinda ok with WebObject, but that's about it IIRC.
Well clone wasn't well formulated. It drew heavy inspiration from OPENSTEP and Objective-C, which at that time was used by Sun as well (OpenStep for Solaris) but then ditched in favour of Java. Let's put it that way.:)
Java basically started out as a clone of OPENSTEP - i.e., the very system/API that is the ancestor of OS X and iOS or Cocoa and Cocoa Touch respectively.
So, when I can have the matured original, why would I want the clone?
Right, because the people who ate wheat for thousands of years are all wrong.
At least in the middle and northern parts of Western Europe, people eat wheat only for about about one thousand years actually.
And if you define "wrong" as "unhealthy", yes they were;-)
Anonymous here is really 'anonymous', not some group with structured leadership, dues to be paid, and a secret handshake. When you refer to them, you're referring to everybody and nobody in particular, so quit throwing around 'Anonymous' as if they were Al Qaeda or the New York Mets.
Not really. Since many people chose to stand by their action and are not anonymous, you're not referring to everybody. Since nobody cannot do anything, you're not referring to nobody.
So in the end, it really is just a bunch of anonymous cowards.;-)
Read about Nyquist theorem please. You can sample a 22 kHz sine wave with 44 kHz sampling rate, because you will have a filter up there. That's exactly the point of using double the frequency as the sampling rate.
The problem is only that even if was on the media (vinyl - and it probably wasn't), it probably wont make it to your ear, because there's amplification electronic and a speaker between the vinyl and your ears. And those filter out stuff as well.

But %-prefixed comments don't appear in the output, only in the source code. So they can stay there happily ever after, no problem.

That's why we extended the feature set ourselves with BASIC and assembler...
Actually, the kids from 1975 are the ones who invented smartphones, PDF and the Internet.

Those could help us solve all the other problems faster and better. Or well, at least be our new overlords...

OS X had already killed Linux on the desktop when Ubuntu didn't even exist yet.
I actually use a mouse with the right hand and a magic trackpad on the left hand (with different gestures). Very efficient, at least for me.

Oh wait, you're not talking about surfing porn, are you?
I saw that one coming... ;-)

Looks like you might have missed NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP during the 90s... :)
Woohoo, this is great news! Ah wait... it's 2012, not 1999...

Yeah... a "prominent member of anonymous" is kind of an oxymoron...

Poor quality, wear out and lots of problems. I'm not too unhappy about that.

No it doesn't. You actually have to filter out more both low and high end compared to CD in the premastering process, due to the limitations of vinyl.
Doesn't "write 3 interfaces" somehow contradict "code once"?
