You won the Vietnam war? You live in an alternative reality, dude? Ever though about visiting a shrink?
How can a fascist idiot like you be a History teacher? I'm glad you're thousands of kilometers away from me, I wouldn't want a jingo like you teaching my children.
Man, if you're so sloppy as to do things like that, no programming platform will save you.
Personally, I love Java's exception model, I think it's the best I know, because it forces you to take into account every thing that may go wrong. When one uses a language that allows unchecked exceptions, one cares about writing the code and leaves the exceptions for later, which is never...
You're soooooo wrong, dude! Japan is the World's second economy, they don't have nukes, but they certainly fit in my definition of world power.
And they CAN disrupt trade worldwide, the question is, do they want to? Does anyone want to? I dare you gringos to do that...
So basically you think VB is great because you can't do any real work with it, but it's very fine for those who don't know what they're doing to create applications that don't work.
Funny, those are my issues against VB.
Some time after the dotcom bubble blew up, I was forced by unfortunate circunstances to join a VB-only developing team. That was a time when all the tech companies in my country were going bankrupt or massively firing people. I had to take the task and shut up. It lasted for a whole year.
I've never been so unhappy in my life. For the first time, I was ashamed of telling people what I did for a living.
Now my job is very boring, but at least I can walk with my head straight.
The called Constitution is being dealt almost secretly by the Commission, was written in secret, without the slightest participation of the populations, and does a great effort to federalise the EU, and to enslave the Europeans to the powerful corporations, taking even more power from the European people. It has nothing to do with a Constitution, I would call it the European Conspiracy.
The Socialists had a great victory in Portugal two weeks ago. By the way, they benefitted from the frustration created by the wretched governation of Mr. Barroso and his successor, Santana Lopes, the worst government we had since the revolution.
The position of the Portuguese Socialist Party is against software patents. Let's hope that being in the Government doesn't make them change their minds.
If I can recall, we only needed one country to make the switch to block this whole patent process again. Portugal may be it.
I have no doubt about this for a long time. EU is a plutocracy. The powers are so concentrated in the Commission that they can do anything they please. The Parliament is constantly disregarded. Keep in mind that the Parliament is elected by the Europeans, while the Commission is nominated by the govermnents, so the former really represents the European people, while the latter doesn't. But, strangely, the decision power is on the side of the Commission, and they have a long record of utterly ignoring the Parliament's decisions. Can this be called a democracy? I call it a plutocracy.
In the last European elections I was close to not voting, for the first time in my life. What good is voting for a Parliament that is constantly ignored?
Last Sunday, the Portuguese Socialist Party had its greatest victory ever. They will rule Portugal in the future years, and thay have an anti-software patents position, unlike the former government, led by the right-wing, which loved software patents.
This may be good news, I hope the new Portuguese government will oppose to software patents in EU, blocking the process for some more time.
I had prescribed books when I was in school, in university I had reading recommendations, and I would decide to buy the books or not.
In university I even had the option of attending classes or not. Hell, college students are all adults,they're not supposed to be treated as kids!
In which university they force you to buy books? Get outta there while you can. Those guys are crooks.
Genocide of who? Are you sure?
And do you remember who supported Saddam when he took power in Iraq? Yes, dude, it was YOUR government. Without US help he probably wouldn't be able to become the dictator in Iraq. And your government already knew he was a creep. Right after becoming president, he killed thousands of his opponents, with full support from the USA.
Go learn some History, dude.
I don't know where you get your information from, you should probably stop watching Fox News and get back in the real world. The UN inspectors repeatedly stated that Iraq was clean of WMDs. I belive this proves it, no?
Of course, it was useless. Bush and Co. were so determinate to go to war that they couldn't see the truth if it bit them in the ass.
And since when the US gov concerns about dictatorship and oppression? They didn't show any concern in the past, when they supported creeps like Saddam Hussein, Pinochet, Pol Pot, Mobutu, Batista, and many, many others. And in the present, they don't seem very concerned about oppression in Saudi Arabia, for example.
I worked my ass off to get things working through the Y2K bug. I had some trouble in the first days of 2000, but if it wasn't for my team's hard work, the 24/7 production system we were responsible for would have just collapsed.
The Y2K bug should be considered one of the biggest success stories for the IT pro community. With a lot of hard work, we avoided a catastrophy of unpredictable consequences. I always answer this to the morons that disregard the Y2K bug as having been FUD to get more profit for the IT industry.
It's ironic that, if we had't managed to get things right and one or more major incidents had happened, every analist in this world would be calling us incompetent and lazy dumbasses. We managed to get our work done extremely well, and we are disregarded as crooks and alarmists.
Well, who said life is fair? Screw the others. In our hearts, we know we succeeded.
A Portuguese priest called Bartolomeu de Gusmão first had the idea in the XVII Century. Who actually invented the plane was a Brasilian guy called Santos Dummond.
That's something really annoying. For some reason, I always press "Cancel" when that damned dialog appears, and then I have to wait for hours for the Visual Studio or Delphi opens up (painful in the piece of crap computer I have at work). I think they did it as a stupid workaround, but would it be so expensive to do it right, being one of the most profitable companies in the World?
Some years ago, my boss had a meeting with a colleague of mine about a new product. In the end he asked him how much time he needed to develop that. The guy answered "two weeks". It took him a year. We still use the "two weeks" joke to refer to never-ending projects.
Once, I was talking with my boss about how stupid some blue-collar people are when they refuse to use helmets or safety-goggles at work, just to play macho. Then I said a stupid joke about macho IT workers: "True men don't make backups". It was intended to be a joke, but some weeks later we lost our entire codebase because the server disks fried. The server was managed by a different department. The guys that were in charge of nursing it didn't have any backup, in spite of THAT being THEIR job. I think my boss still shivers when he remembers that joke. I'll keep it as a motto, and never trust anyone to backup my work.

In version 5.0, Swing has a native look-and-feel, and that is the default.

I think you should stop watching the Fox News bullshit propaganda and pay a little more attention to your own country's abuse record.

Why don't you use hardened concrete and bricks like we do here in Europe?
The trees would be grateful.
In my oppinion, he is really bad, and so is GWB and his whole staff. They are all increadibly evil.
But all is relative, this is just my oppinion.

That "baddies" and "goodies" speech is a little braindead, don't you think? Real life is not like super-hero comics.
