  1. Looks more like Boo to me on Anders Hejlsberg on C# 3.0 · · Score: 0

    I'd actually say that it looks like it's taking a lot of Boo's features. The inferrence, the lambdas, there's only 2 features that Boo doesn't have, and they'll be taken care of within a month.

  3. Re:Competitive high school programming teams ... on Introduction to Competitive Programming · · Score: 0

    I was in the American Computer Science League, and I have to say that the whole team was pretty funny.

    We went to Pennsylvania to compete, and we were a group of 5.

    Contestant #1: The .NET guy. He's a lot like a performance-enhancer pot guy. "Hey that was awesome. You know what'd be even better? If it were done with .NET" .NET can surely do no wrong. Caffeine Addiction.

    Contestant #2: The cultured Asian kid. He brought a skateboard everywhere on the trip and got yelled at several times during the competition for riding in the hallway. He was easily the smartest among us. He wrote 2 of the 5 programs we were given. In Mathematica, no less. Did a lot of pot.

    Contestant #3: The Indian kid. He was the timid one, but he was still smart. Granted, he didn't really contribute anything, as he only knew Java, and we for sure wouldn't let that beast ruin us. He kept his computer running through some kind of magic, because it broke at least every week. Also did a lot of pot.

    Contestant #4: The complete slacker. Now you'd assume that he was addicted to pot, but no, just Everquest. His contribution was keeping track of what problems we solved. He also came up with one or two unit tests. He was the youngest cause he skipped a grade or something. He was also my roommate for Junior and Senior year.

    Contestant #5: Me. I wrote 3/5 programs in Python, because the .NET guy messed up the one I assigned him. I would do drugs but it's not in my budget. I also don't believe in sleep. I find it a horrible waste of time. I also am tring to become an adult film maker.

    Everyone of us is batshit insane in at least some part of our lives. Probably not the Indian kid, though, he was cool.

    Also, we still think that our mentor worked for the NSA previously, but these rumors were never confirmed. Hush hush.

    In the end, we got 6th place, which was kinda sad. It's mostly my fault, because I made one typo. I pressed 3 instead of making it depend on the length of the given array. If that hadn't happened, we would've gotten 2nd.

    Now the school we went to said that if we "placed" they would pay for our dinner.

    To this day, the School thinks that we got 5th place, because we didn't want to split that dinner.

    But I want to adhere to the Ubuntu philosophy, I'd like to have a CD with just XFCE on it, along with various Gtk (not Gnome) apps - for lightweight desktops.

  10. Re:to avoid misunderstood on Kubuntu, ArkLinux Announce KDE 3.4-Based Releases · · Score: 2, Informative

    Does that mean there's a Gubuntu? ;)

    Gubuntu is not a real word, unlike Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Ubuntu normal is based on Gnome, whereas Ubuntu-KDE or Kubuntu is based on KDE.

  11. Kubuntu on Kubuntu, ArkLinux Announce KDE 3.4-Based Releases · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've tried Kubuntu out, it's very nice, although not perfect, but such things should be fixed by release (1 month).

    I use Ubuntu normally, and I feel Kubuntu is very important, because it allows those who prefer KDE to use Ubuntu as well.

    I'm just hoping there'll be a Xubuntu or something like it with XFCE

  15. My time with Fedora on Fedora Core 3: Worth The Upgrade? · · Score: 0
    I used to use Fedora Core 2 for quite a few months, then I switched between distros every week, finally landing on Ubuntu.

    I tried out Fedora Core 3 on a different HD and I must say I was not impressed in the least bit, it kept giving me problems - even with yum, though it was an easy fix.
    `rpm --import /usr/share/rhn/RPM-GPG-KEY`
    or something to that degree.

    Everything seemed to be both working and not working at the same time - polished one second and slopped together the next.

    I severely dislike the package management system and the lack of a well integrated setup like Ubuntu had.

    I disliked the DVD-size install, I had to use 3 CD's to get my system up and running with Fedora Core 3.

    I also liked the support of Ubuntu moreso than Fedora's - Ubuntu has a nice Wiki which explains everything very clearly, while Fedora has a lot of stuff about Core 1 and Core 2, but I could sorely find anything about Core 3.
