Multithreaded? For I/O? You still have to write it one piece at a time.
Ever heard of fiber channel disk? Or a SAN? No, you don't have to write it one piece of data at a time. Anyway, even if he's writing to a non-multiplexed local disk, even something as slow as PATA, the bottleneck isn't the local disk, it's the 2 MBit microwave link, so, you're right, I'm not sure that multithreadedness will improve anything.
Ummmm....if you're using any clients that behave anything like what you describe, the solution is simple: Get another client. There's a gazillion of them out there, many of them are even open source. Plenty of good ones that don't misbehave like that.
Agreed on the GOTO, but as you say, "critical mission error handling may take advantage of a more direct way to 'jump'". Yet, what is 'structured exception handling' like
try:
do this
and that except:
do the other thing finally:
this
but a syntactic sugar for an "ON ERROR GOTO" like in BASIC?
I mean, what can you say that's bad about Comcrap? Their service is Craptastic!
There, FTFY. And yes, as a former Comcast subscriber I mean it. And, no, Comcast, I am NOT going to pay you one red cent for that remote you keep claiming I never returned. Fuck you.
And letting TPB die is the last thing that is allowed to happen!
As soon as Global Gaming Factory X buys it, you can say bye-bye to all the torrents, and worst of all, all the trackers. Which means pretty much the end of BitTorrent as we know it, since most of the pirated content in the world is tracked TPB.
As always, one must decide for oneself. Android uses it's own GUI toolkit and application framework It doesn't seem to be incredibly different from other GUI toolkits like Win32 or GTK or AWT/SWING -- it's typical event-driven model. The framework seems to be a traditional application framework with a bit of a tendency towards a more MVC paradigm.
What's wrong with having one more tool under your belt?
Oddly enough, some keyboard manufacturers have opted to eliminate not the useless NUM LOCK key, but the SCROLL LOCK key.
Thing is the Scroll Lock has uses. Some old DOS applications (terminal apps, especially) used it to in place of the Pause key. BBS software commonly used it as a flag for whether or not the SysOp was available for chat (Scroll Lock on meant the SysOp was available for chat).
UGH! Lenovos are probably my favorites if for no other reason than the mouse "track point" nub thingy and they're still easily available with XP. I hope they tinker with smaller price tags some day.
The 1990s called. They want their trackpoint meme back. Lots and lots of laptops have them these days. For example, several Dell Latitudes, Sony Vaio P netbooks, several HP/Compaq models, and I think almost all the Toshiba models.
Agreed. And If you go this route, you'll be interested in this list, since it tells you which GPS units are likely to work well the gpsd on Linux or *BSD.
And the United States government is going to extradite U.S. citizens aiding dissidents to Iran because.... we have good diplomatic relations with Iran? *blink*
C'mon. Same goes for the U.K. and several other European nations.
You can help. Get involved by going over to the NedaNet Resources Page and setting up a squid proxy or, better yet, a Tor proxy, to help the Iranian dissidents. This is a real, live underground network, being run by Eric Raymond and some other folks who are remaining anonymous.
Well, it was for AT&T. No, they don't want the prize money; they're donating it charity. But what they do have now is an algorithm that can be turned into a commercial product or service. The individual researchers may not have had money as their primary motivator, but their employer sure has hell did.
Also, please cite the law that says a company must defend the trademark in all cases.
There is no specific law. It is a matter of legal precedent. If a company fails to defend its trademark, it stands to lose trademark protections. That's why Xerox is always telling you to say "copy machine" rather than "Xerox machine", for instance.

Ssshhhh! Let them think they won! Maybe they'll go away for a while.
Yeah, and they also make the dubious claim that:

I guess the MAFIAA has won, after all.

So then the only people with 100% chance to die are the normal people! Guess it must be better to be fat or underweight then.
*jaw drops*
You had pants?
There is no ideal weight range, only idea percentage of body fat.
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day... teach a man to fish ...well, you know ...
Download the Android SDK, go to the Dev Guide for tutorials and samples, and you can also go here to RTFM.
The answer, of course, is 'Yes'.
And "No".

Hmmm...Carbonized chickens and hydrogen. There has to be a joke in there somewhere about chickens being classified as munitions...
I will be soooo happy when the RIAA finally realizes it's dead.
Don't hold your breath. The current governmental regime is keeping that zombie on life support.
It just means that NASA re-shot the moon landing using HD on the Hollywood back lot.
And the only question remaining is: does Buzz Aldrin shoot first in the new version?
Ah. You're right. I just installed DOSBox and realize that it was not DOSEMU. :)
You guys all act like using DOSBox and FreeDOS are mutually exclusive. I typically use FreeDOS from within DOSBox when I need to run old DOS software.
