  1. brits and bad teeth on Mobile Phone in Your Teeth! · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, this would give brits an excuse to get their teeth fixed!

    :-)

  2. japple on Web Database Applications with PHP & MySQL · · Score: 1

    japple is much easier than php (for me, at least), and has a solution which splits the scripting language from the HTML.

    check it out at japple.org

    I've been very impressed so far.

  3. Re:HP-aq?! on HP, Compaq Deal Approved · · Score: 1

    I think the PA-RISC stuff is going to stay.

  4. Re:RAM expansion for the N64? on Playstation 3 In the Works · · Score: 1

    Ocarina of time did not require the expansion pak.

    Just Majora's Mask.

  5. If you like zope.. on Content Management Nightmares · · Score: 0

    check out Japple.

    Japple has some very interesting technologies, including a way to seperate your HTML from your logic by a very cool template system -- the most advanced I have ever seen.

  6. Re:Why? on HP/Compaq Merger Apparently Approved · · Score: 1

    Doesn't compaq have control of the alpha chips?

    From what I heard, all of those guys jumped ship anyway.

  7. Re:KDE will get the curious win9x users... until.. on KDE 3.0 Release Plan Updated · · Score: 1

    KDE is not a window manager! K Desktop Environment.

    sheesh!

  8. Re:How many of these new domains? on VeriSign Buys .tv · · Score: 1

    They're not. They are just paying for one of their domain names.

  9. Re:stop whining on USPS Irradiation Damages Electronics · · Score: 1

    So attackers should mail anthrax in letters marked "Sensitive: Do not irradiate" now? :-)

  10. Re:Repository on IBM Launches Public Domain Project "Eclipse" · · Score: 1

    it uses cvs, and does quite a good job at it.

    There are some catches -- your cvs module must be a top-level directory.

    We've simulated that by making symlinks in the cvs repository.

  11. cash is here to stay for quite a while.. on How Feasible is a Cash-Less Society? · · Score: 1

    I know a lot of you guys live in the city, but i can't imaging not paying for things in cash in the country. You're not going to see too many vendors at the farmer's market with the equipment to use any sort of card.

    For most things, yes, you can get by without physical cash. That is, if you live in the city where there are grocery stores.

    I guess I just like physical cash. It helps you manage your money better (at least it does for me) I know how much I have in my wallet, and i can count it. I have a pretty good idea of what is on my credit card, but it is easy to put "little things" on there that add up.

  12. ZZT OOP language on Learning Java Through Violence · · Score: 1

    Does anyone remember programming in the game ZZT?

    That was a blast, and a fun way to learn OOP.

  13. Re:Little Known DOOM Feature on PanQuake · · Score: 1

    I think they took those switches out in later versions. (I think everything after 1.666)

    Mozilla JS is very good, although it can be slow when accessing parts of the DOM.

    if you have a while(1){ malloc(1); } loop, it will take much more than 30 megs after a short time.

    The point is that you can't tell how much memory something is going to use just by how big the download was.

  18. Re:Mozilla bashing. on Mozilla 0.9 Out · · Score: 1

    You would be surprised by how konq could be multi-platform.

    Well, not konq, per se, but khtml, the html renderer. Kurt Skauen, the guy who is writing Atheos ported khtml to atheos in a matter of hours. ( http://www.atheos.cx/abrowse1.png) for a screenie)

    Keep in mind that Atheos uses its own GUI toolkit, built into the OS. The point is that khtml is clean code, and can easily be ported.

    there is java support.

    Javascript support is pretty good too. Not everything is supported with javascript, but most is.

    It gets better by the day.

    You can't compare disk space to memory. Apples and oranges. They're both fruit, but that is about it.

  21. Re:please explain.. on QT Mozilla Port · · Score: 1

    I've used more languages than you might have guessed...

    My point is that polymorphism is _not_ a part of C (or ASM). Yes, you can implement your own polymorphism scheme, but it is not part of the language. This is like saying "ASM supports templates.. but you have to write the template mechanism first!" Crazy. You can make any lower-level language support the features of a higher-level language if you write enough code. Is this _really_ polymorphism? I don't think so. I don't know where the word "polymorphism" was first used, but I have a feeling it wasn't with C. I think the word was coined for OO languages. Using it in reference to C or ASM is a bastardization of the word.

    Just a nitpick about Konq. It does xdnd just fine.

    I don't know what problems you are talking about. Most likely, the target you are trying to drop on does not do xdnd properly.

  23. Re:please explain.. on QT Mozilla Port · · Score: 1

    You would have to call those functions different names, correct?

    So you just have a commonly-named function pointer which can point to a different function.

    Makes sense, although convoluted.

    You would have to do this to every method, though.. (regardless of whether you were re-implementing or inheriting methods from the parent class)

    Seems like a pain in the ass to do manually! :-)

    I assume you need a lot of casts for this to work correctly.

    Thanks for the explanation.

  24. Re:please explain.. on QT Mozilla Port · · Score: 1

    Again, sorry for saying operator. I meant method.

    Apart from implicit polymorphism, you can not do polymorphism without inheritance. The point of the message was that you can not do this with C or GTK+, so it can not be considered OO.

    Purists will argue about primitive types and such.. but I think anyone would agree that C++ is definately more OO than C will ever be. :-)

    I did not mean operators..

    I meant overloading methods. Sorry.

    I looked it up, and overwriting a method in a subclass is considered to be overloading that method.
