There is no statician worth his salt who would tell you that either canidate got more of the popular vot e than the other in the 2000 presidential election. The "popular vote" margin that's so consistently reported is an order of maginitude smaller then the margin of error on the count.
The Vapor(tm) engine is infact the most advanced graphics engine you will never see. It is capable of interfacing cleanly with havok, and other physics engine, doing policy administration on a mainframe, slicing up julian fries, making toast and having sung hi lee brin you coffee in a cute little french maid outfit.
Do not disturb the Vapor(tm), or it will smite you like the ragdoll you are!
"In the distro community" is a pointless addition, and also kind of silly.
End users tend to X, which means vedors have an issue with it, weather they choose to address it or not.
As to there not being technical issues with X? Well lets start with that wonderful configurability argument. I'm sorry, painful and error prone configuraiton is a technical problem. It's indicative of poor design, and messy code. For example, Xinerama breaks xvideo, and dri, sometimes. When doesn't it? Ask the magic eightball. Then there is XRandR, which breaks all kinds of shit. I got two more fun words: alpha channel. And lets not even get into fonts. Granted anti-aliasing post-dates X's design, which is a perfectly reasonable argument. However, it comes with the point that X's design is out-dated and insufficient for modern display requirements.
X is sufficient for the majority of computing display needs. But the number of requirements it does not deal with in an adequate manor, or at all, is rapidly growing. So to address the future, and hell, even the present, X either needs to undergo some serious restructuring, or be replaced.
No, syntactically, they are not the same language. They are very different. Yes, they both use $'s. So do accountants. Thats really about it. PHP is much more rigid, much better defined, and much much easier to read.
Which isn't to say that perl doesn't have it's place -- it does: one liners written to mangle up some text.
Or perhaps it's simply another language written by people who do not want to have the issues that perl has, and perhaps want a language that lends itself to knowing what you were doing 15 minutes after you started doing it.
Go away perl fanboy, or come up with somethingbetter, after all TIMTOWTT (There Is More Then On Way To Troll).
For a while, microsoft was the _only_ os for most vendors pc's. Thats when these contracts got signed.
Yes, a vendor could of gotten out of the agreement and payed "regular" prices. But then their hardware would of been significantly more expensive then that of their competitors.
Is it gun to the head forcing? Not exactly.
Is it strong coercion based on the strength of a market strangling monopoly? Yes.
You're right, i jumped the gun. All i read was this.
QNX's filesystem is HORRENDOUSLY slow. I had two partitions, of roughly 20 gigabytes in size on the same disc. I performed a dd to copy the one partition into the other. I returned 10 hours later, to find it still running.
and went off on that first rediculous statement.
I did then read this.
I wise up, pop in a Linux rescue CD, and perform the dd in about 20 minutes.
after reading your return post, but then fournd this.
The networking is slow. Try doing a find / over a telnet session. Ouch.
At the end, got annoyed again, and then read this

1) You don't know that he doesn't work for pixar, or that his work is not of value. Insulting his needs is not an answer to the question, it's the bitter bitching of a troll.
2) The poster, as you so unusefully point out, is aware of read access under Mac OS X and Linux, and is perfectly aware that he doesn't have an _access_ problem per se. He does, however, have an _access_ problem in that he can only write from one side. If he needs to write from the other he needs to move the files off box.
3) Apparently you're reading things the rest of us aren't. The poster is not complaining about things just because they're proprietary. What he is asking is if there is a way to do what he wants to do. You fail miserably to even address his issue in your brief rant.
To the moderator or called you 'insightful'. Stop smoking crack, it makes you feed the trolls.
This is a common bail of hey getting tossed back and forth between hardware and software makers. Hardware makers want to commoditize software to the point of freedom and rent you equipment. software makers want to commoditize hardware to the point of freedom and rent you access to the software.
Rental models have never worked this way with consumers. Most consumers have issues paying for services that come in the form of a thing. If they buy a thing they want to put forth the 1 time investment and have the thing work forever. Software subscription models override this very intuitive view of goods and really strike consumers in a real negative way.
Look at what's happened to cellphones. Your phone is your phone and is not tied to your subscriber. You can buy a nice phone and pretty readily travel from subscriber to subscriber.
This is the area where software subscriptions may infact catch on. However -- it won't do it while microsoft maintains it's monopoly. Part of the reason the subscription model works at all with cellphones is that consumers have bargaining power with the provider. If they don't have the ability to change providers they will not buy into the services.
Thats not the filesystem, it's some attribute of your computer or the way in which you invoked dd.
dd does a bit level copy of everything from raw source to raw destination. A partition to partition copy using dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hda2 utterly ignores the filesystem. Incidently, if you tried too use that command, on ANY os, it would be horrendously slow because the default block size is like 512bytes.
Suggesting perl as a more natural language is a really wrong. Just -- Wrong.
As you said, programming is a state of mind type of exercise. My experience has been -- consistently, and backed up by classical training, that you do not start people on things like perl which is indescriable.
A simple structured language -- python is acceptable but i'd still suggest good old fasioned pascal. Granted it teaches out-of-style procedural kind of programming, but it enforces rigid structure, is fairly simple and strait foreward, and verbose. These are important things to do when training someone else, or yourself, to program.
You can always move to a language that gives you mor syntactic sugar or a greator depth of standard libraries later, but ultimately the language is restricted beneath all of that to the rigidity of the 1 and 0. Having that firmly in your mind regardless of the $_[~/[...]]/i] syntactical shortcutting and flexability your still operating within that structure.
As far as the neccisity of math -- this depends on the kind of programming your doing. Most jobs these days are business app style jobs. They don't require the kind of math sensitivity that ivory tower programming (Sorry -- I tend to ignore accademic computing), systems programming or game programming require.
Yes the sort question is still applicable, but you don't need be able to determine the O(n) of the algorithm -- you just have to understand what it means and apply it to your problem domain. It breaks down to what philosophy students call first order logic, and mathematicians call boolean logic.
I've been architect and lead technical programmer on a number of different contracts and within my job now -- and i'm degree less -- my credits add up to two minors: philosphy with a concentration in logic and history with a concentration in eastern european.
Perhaps there are many things that i do intuitively, I've not studied those aspects of my style very deeply. But i do know that the focus on math in computer education -- particularly for programmers -- is a bit overkill.

Flamebait this guy.
I mean... Obviously he didn't read the charts, and, i mean jesus christ read what he wrote which parses too
but no explination as too... uhm... why?

uh... can you count?
I realise i'm snicking your troll, but stilll...

if you've got a problem with ORM as a TLA then you've probably got a problem with CPU as a TLA as well..

yeah uh... I would take issue with the app's maker/distributor, rather then with java....
Compare the oracle installer with Eclipse....
one sucks
one rocks
shrug.
Semantics my ass. There is a huge difference between "my ass" and "a whole in the ground" but really, it's just semantics.
Oh wait, sorry, don't want you to be confused by like, you know, real stuff, or uh, something.

Thats a bit of a loaded question -- it assumes that the electoral college system is the underlying cause of only having two parties.
obviously, we have more then two parties -- their succes however, is limited.
I don't think it has so much to do with the electoral college system, as with the ballot system and access to public campaign funding.
I have exactly one class for you, that i did not write, in which i would absolutely fucking love to have operator overloading.
BigDecimal
take that.
mutter.
you missed an Integer( int ).toString() in you're little box oh example.
You're snippet just went boom.
oh god
someone, please, anyone
mod this up

Why didn't you just ground the amp?
Seems like it wouldn't be all that hard with a piece of equipment that old and easy to deal with.

the subject there says it all basically.
Welcome to the real world, where alot of stuff kinda sucks.
SharpDevelop, wintin, just to start, and more then a few others.
.net apps come as a .exe, are installed by an installer, and run line native apps.
Windows users tend not to know though.
