Chemicals are funny in that they come together in all sorts of patterns and formations. Obviously the most successful of these formations are the ones that happen to enable them to reproduce themselves (the replicator) - it's not magic.
It took millions of years - but eventually a molecule that could reproduce popped up in the right place at the right time and was successful in extending itself. When you're given millions of years to throw matchsticks into the air and watching them drop - eventually they'll form the word "life"
Most first year philosophy students will realise this. Life etc has been sufficiently explained - and not many people would be caught dead trying to show there is a non-physical aspect of living things (meaning we could create it ourselves).
So how does that differ from Sony and their Playstation games? Last I looked I couldn't stuff them into a N64 system - and aren't Sony suining Bleem for making an emulator for _WINDOWS_?
But regarding sample source - there's much more than IIS and VB samples. I've found the hundreds of COM, VC++ & DDK samples that come with various windows SDKs invaluable.
Noone is "claiming" that Terminals are new. It's just they're trying to come into the mainstream. Windows Terminals are certainly new - the idea isn't - but it's new to windows - even citrix based stuff like winframe/metaframe/multiwin are all only a few years old.
What you're saying is synonomous to saying "what's all this hype about the internet - we had it a 100 years ago - it's called the telegraph".
So when you want to talk about irresposibly microsoft, you talk about how MS dumped NT on alpha.
Then when it's "let's make MS look dumber", say that compaq dumped MS.
The truth is compaq dumped MS. And as for this... Microsoft had an Alpha port in mind when they were designing Win2K
Well BIG DUH. Up until the latest public build 2114, there were both Alpha and Intel builds released and cycled. It's not very hard - just compile the same source. 99% of windows is application extensions (COM, Services etc). That's what the hardware abstraction layer was for.
Point is the technology in Windows. The fact that it's in a different product is because of marketing. Hey, why not charge more for that sortta stuff....Sun etc do already.
Windows and other Microsoft software is always late cause they spend time processing bug reports from their testers and continually testing and fixing.
With respect to MSJVM. It's the only reason why I develop in java now days.
without microsoft's keywords - java sucks. with ms keywords - i can call native routines easy as pie - without writting a wrapper dll and the likes. I can also call COM & ActiveX objects easy as pie.
It's not like noone else can't implement these features - the keywords aren't secret you know. The way to do it is - but it's not hard to work out how to do it...hell given time, i could do it.
I don't have a probelm with that. One is human readable - the other is machine readable.
The later is probably still faster so i don't see why ms would ever do the former - but presuming they do - doesn't mean it's impossible to work out what's done.
I don't really care what you were talking about. I only scanned comments for stupid things. I thought you said VB didn't have mid or strstr. i was correcting you.
If you make an arguement - with wrong facts - your arguments should immediately be questioned.
Visual Basic is natively compiled. Needing a runtime has nothing to do with whether it's compile or not. The runtime conaints VB calls like VC++ apps need msvcrt.dll. VB uses the same compiler as VC++. It converts VB to C++ then compiles and links. VB is _MUCH_ faster than Java for many things - it's just uglier.
Plus the fact that VB uses many ccontrols written in C++ etc, helps it be even faster.
Don't even try to compare AWT/JFC with Windows Common Controls.
VB supports interface inheritance - although i agree implementation inheritance is very useful.
There is no such thing as MIDSTR$. it's called mid or mid$. There has been an index & strstr in basic since qb (and probably before). ever seen Instr() or Instr$()?
Which part of "Active-X" and "Java applets" didn't you understand? These execute automatically on web pages and can also be sent in e-mail. There is no installation required.
Not if you disable activex and java applets in IE. Java is sandboxed anyway, and activex uses a trust scheme. If it's unsigned - don't allow it to run.
Slashdot Mirror
Explain to me how
3.1/OLE/95/ActiveX/95.b/Office97/IE4/98/IE5/
means fragmentation? It's technology moving along. And OLE2==ActiveX.
You're an idiot.
I'd say...and I prefer
if (x==LASTCHAR) exit(0);
x++;
:P

Firstly I don't believe in a "soul" (the same one religious people believe in).
But to think that only "humans" have "souls" is so utterly arrogant.
I'm appalled.

The modern argument is over thought and the mind.

I assume you're trying to be funny.

nissan.co.jp is their main site
....especially for many asian based companies.
it's a standard practise to use "-usa.com"
That would be funnier if what you said about MS were true and didn't contradict.
Office 2000 can now run on Linux with 4GB.
W2K only supports 128M?
95 a limit of 64 or 128? uh NO.
2GB system, 2GB user...same with 98.
I've run 95 on 256 - so it definitely isn't anywhere near as low as you think.
Point is the technology in Windows.

Actually - as most people here will jump to say.
Windows and other Microsoft software is always late cause they spend time processing bug reports from their testers and continually testing and fixing.
Oh, and I forgot to say. I use Java for the language. Not for crossplatformness.
With respect to MSJVM. It's the only reason why I develop in java now days.

JDirect kicks JNI's ass.
I don't have a probelm with that.
One is human readable - the other is machine readable.

stuff like *.doc and *.xls is documented too.
I don't really care what you were talking about.

i was correcting you.
If you make an arguement - with wrong facts - your arguments should immediately be questioned.
Sorry you lose :P
moderate me troll if you like.
it's still true.
on one point.
Visual Basic is natively compiled. Needing a runtime has nothing to do with whether it's compile or not. The runtime conaints VB calls like VC++ apps need msvcrt.dll.
VB uses the same compiler as VC++. It converts VB to C++ then compiles and links.

Plus the fact that VB uses many ccontrols written in C++ etc, helps it be even faster.

Perhaps you all can stop thinking that microsoft will ever create a linux distribution.
VB supports interface inheritance - although i agree implementation inheritance is very useful.

ever seen Instr() or Instr$()?
First I heard of this European Union evquivalent in the Trek universe.....and I've watched almost all the episodes.

What do you think the X in XML is for?
You define your own tags depending on what you what the innerText to be "marked up" as.
duh
