Yeah, it is a "non-story" buried so far down the page (and off to the side) that it is being covered, but as minimally as possible.
It's yesterday's news... You expect it to be on the front page forever?
I am not going to change your opinion, I realize that.
I realize that everyone want their biases and prejudices to make the front page, but that's now how journalism works. If it bleeds, it leads. Yesterday's beating isn't bleeding today.
The only reason I got the 4k is that it was damn near the same price as the 1080.
I recently got a 48" 4K HDTV for $350 at Costco during the holidays to replace a $200 26" CRT that I got 12 years ago. That's a big step up. The difference between 1080p and 4K, not so much.
I live in a 300-unit apartment complex. Just about every one has a wireless router for cable or DSL service. Congestion during the day when everyone is at work isn't an issue. Between 7PM to 2AM, it's really bad.
Well, you could provide some evidence of your own.
If you look at the link that was provided, there are tons of colorful lines and a row of O'Reilly book covers underneath. O'Reilly published a Perl book before they published C/C++ books. There's your evidence: Perl came before C/C++.;)
Or just admit you're full of shit.

How much is a house in Detroit worth these days? What did it used to be worth?
According to Shea of The Shea Show on YouTube, houses that went for $50K+ before the Great Recession are worth anywhere from $1 to $5K. Another $2K to $10K to bring the house up to livable conditions for a tenant. The downside includes unpaid taxes from the previous owner, higher than expected property taxes, bad tenants who will destroy the place, and a criminal element that's willing to "recycle" furnaces, radiators and water heaters for a few bucks. Everyone is carrying heat. Shea thinks that Detroit will turn around in the next five years or so.
Nice colorful lines. I don't thing the O'Reilly publication history is a good representation of programming languages becoming available. If Perl came out before C and C++, the Perl priesthood wouldn't allow any other programming languages to exist. O_o
If your instructor uses ANYTHING by Deitel & Deitel, run away!!
Too late! I took multiple classes in Java and C++ with Deitel & Deitel. At $90 per book (circa 2005), I kept both books instead of selling back at the end of the semester. Ironically, since I went into IT support, I haven't done much in either Java or C++.
Must be a slow news day. I should probably submit this story I read about: A guy with an HDTV on a cart tries to make a run for the doors without paying when security forced him back into the store, where he was promptly arrested because of a "Shop With A Cop" promotion going on inside the store.
Do you even know what the word "derives" mean? C did not provide any contribution to OOP at all.
Sorry, my bad. It should have been evolved, not derived.
According to "How to Program C++" by Deitel and Dietel (fourth edition), page 8: "C++ evolved from C, which evolved from two previous programming languages, BCPL and B."
Incidentally, that book never credits Simula and mentions SmallTalk @ PARC in passing while discussing OOP. This is an undergraduate college textbook that I used when I learned computer programming at the community college.
I thought you were a professional software developer.
Did you not say so in older posts?
Nope. I recently added "community" to "college" when describing my programming background because some people assumed that I'm Computer Science graduate. Community colleges graduate programmers, not software developers. Six years as a video game tester and a solid programming background has made me quite successful in IT support by being able to solve difficult problems.
Considering that most languages predate C anyway...
I'm quite sure that C++, Java, Javascript, PHP, Python and PowerShell came after C.
How did functional programming, represented by languages like Clojure, Erlang, Haskell, derive from C???
I didn't write EVERY programming language derived from C. Every language I ever tried derived from C. As for Clojure, Erlang and Haskell, I've heard of Haskell but never tried it.
How did object-oriented programming derive from C?
If you really believe what you are saying then you are missing a lot about programming.
That's probably true. I've learned computer programming at the community college and went into IT support upon graduation. I'm currently working my way through an old book to create a Pascal compiler from C (circa 1986). A double challenge to translate old C into modern C and learn Pascal at the same time. The reason I'm learning C is to write Python C extensions and embedded code.
C is probably the programming language that will make you a better programmer. Pretty much every other programming derived from C in one form or another. If you want to get under the hood of language, it's probably C anyway.

The party of moral values alright.

Did you use the fancy new Abit jumperless motherboard?
I went with Tyan motherboards back in the day.
The last time I overclocked a processor was an Intel Pentium (Socket-7) from 133MHz to 200MHz (IIRC). I haven't overclocked a processor since then.

Microsoft didn't create Powershell. Powershell was written by an independent developer who was then bought out by Microsoft.
Hence, Microsoft pays for new lines of code.
I wished they just expanded the command prompt compared to putting in powershell.
Supposedly Microsoft doesn't pay to revise old lines of code. Hence, PowerShell with new lines of code came into existence.
I haven't used CMD in years at my government IT job. Probably because everyone has PowerShell scripts to run.

You didn't see that one coming.

The developers were partying during the holidays?! No wonder Linux for the Desktop isn't ready yet.

Because a HDTV was involved and it happened in Florida, it's tech news.
