The way I see it, the benefit of garbage collection is nearly canceled by the lack of stack variables and guaranteed destructor calls.
In both languages you can force a garbage collection of an object, and also specify code to be run att finalization.
By contrast, memory management problems in C++ can be mitigated by destructors, reference counting and containers that automatically free members. Not ideal, but usually doesn't disfigure your code.
Are you kidding me? Ugly hacks like refcounting doesn't make your code ugly? Heh, yeah, sure.
Now add other things missing from Java and/or C# - preprocessor, templates, multiple inheritence, operator overloading, unsigned types - and the new languages are really not that compeling for large projects that need heavy-duty, "dirty" features to manage complexity and can afford a regression suite that runs under Purify to fix memory corruption or leaks.
Seriously, do you have any clue what you're talking about? The need for preprocessor and templates are some of the largest faults with C++, introduced to try to keep backwards-compatability with C. A real OO-language as Java or C# doesn't need for example templates since all objects inherit Object as they should. They also both have usigned types. Multiple inheritance is usually seen as A Really Bad Idea and should be done with interfaces.
This is what happens when a major swedish newspaper prints a completly incorrect article. In reality what's proposed doesn't change much, i.e it's still allowed to backup for private use (those laws are much more generous in Sweden than in for example the US) and all the other things Swedes all love and use.
In fact, it actually widens some rights, for example, the right to copy digital materials to help disabled people and easing the process for schools to make digital copies of material. But alot of people read the article and got up in arms. *Rabble rabble rabble*. The real proposal from the Justice department (in Swedish):
I've been programming for 16 years...here is a short list of the languages I have used in real-world (i.e. I got paid) applications:
C, C++, COBOL, VB (eventually rewritten in C when it hit the scalability wall), Intel x86 ASM, Motorolla 6809 ASM, and Motorolla 6502 ASM.
You've been programming for 16 years in all those languages? Mighty impressive. Strange you don't know things like it's Motorola (since you wrote it twice, I assume it wasn't a mis-spelling).
Proprietary. Proprietary. Proprietary, but at least somewhat portable; however, waaayyy too expensive unless you are dealing with massive amounts of data/users or are coding for government/businesses that require namebrand stuff
Yes, people use proprietary programs, and no, they aren't that expensive. Shocking huh?
This is true. However, I have yet to run into anything that I couldn't replicate in C/C++ using RFC standards. Some of the more nifty features of Exchange would need some reverse engineering, but I've never had the need to provide them.
I don't know what to say. None of those sentences make any sense. "in C/C++ using RFC standards"...wtf are you supposed to mean by that? You can implement things totally unrelated to any RFC by using RFC standards? That would be impressive. "Here I'm using IP over Aviation carrier RFC standard to access the database".
However, I code for US DOD and the security issues with both of those as well as a general distrust of anything open source has prevented their use on a general basis.
First you complain about proprietary software and now open source? You're one fun troll aren't you:)
most of which is copy and pasted loops and if statements
Why the hell would you want to copy loops and ifs? The reason you ever copy code is to AVOID branching.
If so, read your input one character at a time and COUNT them
Never ever fucking read something one character at a time.
My state-financed line is a realiable 100Mbps (not that many other sites can match that, but I reach over 2mb/s even to the US). And I pay about 16$ a month (Sweden). So as the previous poster, anyone care to immigrate?:)
Hmm, the family which we traditionally celebrate midsummer eve with have had one of these for ages (at least 5 years). As far as I know it wasn't internet connected though, but could navigate their yard without problems, cutting the grass suitably as it went (and they have a big yard with lots of trees). They do live near Huskvarna, Småland in Sweden though (where the mower in the article was manufactured) so it's possible it was some kind of prototype they've gotten their hands on.
I've have fenced, practiced multiple martial arts and teach a type of Kung Fu featuring more than 50 weapons (not that I can use even 4 of them in a sensible way;)), I've also done a fair amount of live RPG fight-training not to mention a streetfight now and then.
I never said you can't overcome reach, but doing as the first poster suggested, which was just standing still blocking etc, is gonna get you hurt. And if you are a jedi-master with good forcepowers and precognition, bouncing around might be a good technique. Who knows? It's not like anyone can try it:) However, doing Obi-Wanesque spin-arounds is (obviously) a surefire way to get killed.
Another important point to consider is that the lightsaber basically weighs nothing, making it radically diffrent from a sword.
You've never actually fought with anyone have you? If you're just 10 cm:s (approx 4 inches) shorter, you're gonna have a hell of a time. There's no way you can stand still, since the other person has a much further reach, especially when the diffrence is this big and he can just keep you away, and drop hits from any direction (including above) with equal speed and ease.
On an RTS i was working on recently it was my job to eliminate the map cheat, whereby the user made the entire map visible, giving them a huge advantage. I did this by having each system report the state of its map to the other players and synchornizing that value. It was still possible to cheat and clear the map, but doing so imemdiatly caused you to be booted from the game.
What prevents a hacked client from reporting one thing, and displaying another thing to the user? As always, you can't trust anything coming from a client.
It's a great album. Haven't listened much to him before, but it really got me going. I think I'm even going to buy the album, which is something I don't do often. If it weren't for mp3s, I'd never hear this, and I would make one cd purchase less.
Second of all, JWZ may be an arrogant prick at times, but I'm highly doubtful that Mozilla would exist without him. He's a very fine coder, and put a lot of work into it. I can understand if he gets pissed off at Netscape and AOL, when they don't listen to the coders, and hires new people that really aren't that good and just throw them in with the old team.
"The whole idea that an operating system (Windows) is dependent on an application (Internet Explorer) is a complete joke."
The whole idea that an operating system (Hurd) is dependent on an application (File System Server) is a complete joke. See the problem? What is or is not an operating system is very vague. You can view an OS as no different than for example, winamp, a program swallowing plugins that do different tasks.
It's clearly connected to SUNET through Stockholm, but the map just shows the GEANT-backbone. Check out Nordunet's own maps for the connection details.
*cough* In sweden B5 runs on the "normal" channels;), looping it every other year or so. But the easiest way is to get Direct Connect (www.neo-modus.com) and jump around between the hubs. There's always someone (like me) who was all the episodes you need.
A software project, which uses codecs from another operative system and binary code from lots of different companies, not to talk about the DivX codecs which is hacked microsoft codecs (yes, there are alternatives nowadays) are angry at someone else for using THEIR fake-GPL code. Yeah, that's not two-faced. Really.
First of all, it wasn't meant as a serious comment, and second of all, as you can read in this by Mr. E himself there's nothing that exactly prohibits energy from going faster.
Basically what every comment here i saying is either "People want Alpha blending, 3D windows, etc, etc" or "X network transparency is great, I can run my apps on other stuff". May I then suggest something that fullfills both of these needs:
I present to you *cough* Windows XP.

As I'm not living in a state where I see the government as an enemy I feel no such need. Though I realize that even my little poor socialist state will be affected by anything being passed in the U.S, I fear that US senators aren't very likely to listen to me, as I'm not a US citizen. And quite frankly, I'm quite happy here in Sweden, where I can spend my time waiting for LOTR tickets instead of having to fight my government.

To conclude, you're a moron.
You're still a big nerd if you like those things. And you're definitely not cool.
