There's nothing inherantly wrong with using int and long etc... but when you're depending on a rollover or have some reason that the size of a variable is important, it's much more portable to use uint8_t, uint16_t, etc. The c99 fixed size integral types were invented for a reason. they help architectural portability.
It doesn't have to be application specific. It could be implemented at the toolkit level. gtk, for instance, gets lists of all menu entries in a given application.
granted it would only work in this case for gtk applications, but that is the majority of applications that currently ship with gnome, so there you go.
protip: Try Launchy in windows and Gnome-Do in linux. they do the same thing as the 'run' shortcuts, but with completion and prediction and pretty icons.
Basic Wood Shop was a mandatory class in middle school where i grew up in New Jersey. Auto Shop was an elective. I went to a regular high school, not a vocational school.
I in no way think the wood shop that i took was a waste of time (I am a programmer). I wish now that i had taken auto shop, because i can't change my own oil.
I'm guessing those of us who use windows wipe out those recovery partitions on a fresh install in short order (to get rid of vendor bloat). afterwards, the 'recovery partition' goes unnoticed.

My kingdom for mod points!
Why is this disparity between research and entertainment true????
Who's money is it? that's why.
I have mod points, but i can't decide whether to mod funny or flamebait. Guess i'll leave this comment instead.
Deal. I've wanted this for years.
A party should have a right to discuss such a law; it's that discussion that's being defended, not the law itself.
Any chance that this javascript framework could make it into other packages, such as mozilla or even android?
Will WebOS be cannibalized for parts?

You can do all the things you could do in COBOL in any new language. You can still write things in COBOL, Algol or FORTRAN if you like.
Sure, if you want to do new things, you may have to learn something. them's the breaks.
A lot of the 'casual freeloaders' are tech savvy dorks. the non-tech-savvy-people are watching the basketball game.
They better.
Offering the mobile market x86 is like offering a vegetarian beef jerky. They don't want or need it.
The only reason x86 still exists is for application compatibility.
Most android apps are java; very few use any arm-specific code at all. They should run fine on android-x86 (which exists already BTW)

Sooo...like old Mac OS?
Maybe they could even put a recovery image on a CD that ships with the computer... a sort of "rescue disk" if you will...
It's really hit or miss. AT&T, at least, imposes them on some phones, but not on others.
Performance != Clock Speed.
whoosh?
A galaxy SII with superior hardware costs about the same. that sounds like a tax to me.
FiOS isn't everywhere...
I have a roku box, and i only use it for netflix.
If this verizon thing actually happens, and they fuck up the pricing, i will only use it for amazon streaming.
Doctor who, no BBC in my house. I need internet-streaming-something!
C is like Oil Paints. Python is like water-soluble markers.
You can make artwork with both. you can also make a complete mess with both. This argument is silly.
GP has got it right. Parent is demonstrably wrong.
For object oriented tasks, Java, C# or Smalltalk are better. For system-level native tasks, C is better.
C++ reminds me of the wretched alien-human hybrid that got the Flamethrower in the Alien movie.
