Not only is that incredibly presumptuous, but preference to either is incredibly relative to particular generations and individual personality. For example, I grew up (age 1-10 or so) watching the original star trek, and my teenage years were with the next generation.
My parents prefer the original, I prefer the next generation. Specifically, two points make me lean that way: 1) The Next Generation is where they started making it more of a serious drama and less about campy jokes and having sex with green chicks (less 70's themed) 2) I prefer a thoughtful, wise, poet captain to a cowboy shoot-from-the-hip and hope everything works out captain.
It's all in taste, and neither are wrong or "better", but I'd advise you not to speak for others.
I've been a long time Gnome user. A month or two before the release of KDE 4.0 I decided to look into KDE a bit and after poking around, decided to try it out. Hearing all the cool stuff about KDE 4 I decided to wait until it was released. I hung in there for 4.0, all the 4.1 betas, and 4.1 RC1.
During RC1 I had to deal-breaking show stoppers: * I could NOT move a plasmoid on the desktop. I'd move it, and then it would snap right back into place in the upper-left corner. * I could NOT resize a panel so that it was vertically *smaller*. I can resize it larger, but it simply won't let me make it smaller.
Also, less of a deal breaker for me: * Zero support for separate monitors on separate video cards.
I waited around for 4.1 official, thinking these were just bugs and would be fixed by final release, but nay, they're still there in 4.1. Perhaps it has something to do with kubuntu's packaging, I don't know.
All said and done, I think KDE4 is amazing and has huge potential but until simple things like moving plasmoids and making panels smaller isn't an issue, I simply can't use the desktop. If anyone has any advise about why those two things happen I'd love to hear it as I really want to use KDE4 as my primary desktop.
I guess I'll be waiting for KDE 4.2.
Oh and P.S. Thank you KDE Devs for all your hard work! It looks amazing and I can't wait to see where it goes! I will definitely be rejoining your camp as soon as the environment doesn't impede on my productivity!
That is both true and insightful. However, if you truly want to measure if/how well we're "winning the war", all you need is this: Oil Company Revenues
That will tell you why we're in this specific war, and how well we're (the oil companies [who own the U.S.] are) doing.
It's illegal in New Jersey too. I'm not sure the reasoning in Oregon, but in Jersey it's illegal because some dipshit was smoking while pumping gas and managed to blow up a gas station. It has nothing to do with the toxicity (at least in Jersey)...
I'm actually agnostic, but my point is that what happens after death is not decided by the beliefs of the dead, it's in the mind of the living, as no one really knows... What happens after death is not decided by anyone. What happens after death can be speculated about by the living, but that's about all.
And for the record, saying something like Anyone who mentions "decaying into the earth" in this article should be modded down in this thread with this subject I think is very appropriate and is in the spirit of late and very great George Carlin.
Sure sure. It's a left-wing conspiracy. All "grown-ups" that pay taxes and have children and can think and stuff, yeah they're all conservatives... absolutely. yeah...

I see what you're saying and you make a lot of valid points, but I personally believe that your argument's basic premise is flawed. I think history will view Bush on much, much more than just the war in Iraq. Bush and his cabinet have done more to destroy this country that any President in our nation's history, and being judged on the vast horrors of his presidency will show just how evil and corrupt he and his cabinet are.
Dark Age Of Camelot (also created by Mythic) was somewhat like that. WAR is basically DAOC v2.
In DAOC, you captured keeps. The more RvR keeps you had, the more advantages you had in PvE. For example, with x keeps, you had more gold dropped from mobs. With x + 1 keeps you had more gold drop and bonus XP when you killed mobs. With x + 2 keeps you had more gold, more XP and did more mele dmg.
Those aren't exact, they're examples from my diminishing memory, but you get the idea. There was also a special dungeon shared across all realms that you were only allowed to go in if your realm had enough keeps in RvR. I believe that's where "the good drops" were...
It sounds like WAR is following in those footsteps but is expanded and refined. So it sounds like WAR is basically what you're looking for.
Holy shit on a shingle I hate republicans and their incessant inability to leave obnoxious bullshit SPIN out of anything they say. He did NOT say "people cling to religion and guns because they're poor" you spin-monkey shrill a-hole.
Here's a quote so you can stop spreading that bullshit
"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not."
"And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." And that quote is from a freaking right-wing Roman Catholic website! (the first three pages of my google search were all from right-wingers trying to make Obama look bad, go figure).
Jesus christ all ready. All he basically said was that they're living in dried up commuinities that keep getting passed over by the government even though they're promised relief, which of course frustrates these people (eventually leading to becoming bitter against the government) and they turn to ("cling") their hobbies and beliefs to express their frustration.
Take your obnoxious right-wing out-of-context political spin and shove it up your ass.
Although I obviously agree that this is a Good Thing(tm), I do wish to point out that Microsoft isn't doing this out of the kindness of their own hearts. They didn't choose to do this, they were berated en mass into doing it by the web development community.
So, instead of saying "yay Microsoft", we should be saying (sigh of relief) FINALLY!
If I recall correctly that's not exactly what happened. The judge did make some comments but they weren't in anger, in fact the judge was rather amused at how ridiculous Microsoft's behavior was all throughout the trial.
He made some comments to the media and was later accused of being biased. He replied to those accusations with something similar to "Yeah, I'm biased now... Microsoft MADE me that way!"
The reason why Microsoft wasn't split up was because Bush took office and [his cabinet] specifically told the DOJ to back the fuck off Microsoft. That's why it went from "we're breaking you up!" to "sorry about that whole anti-trust thing". If a democrat was in office after Bill, Microsoft would be at least two if not more companies right now.
You should actually listen to what Obama is saying. He wants to Open Source the government! He wants to utilize technologies to make the goverment completely transparent... that's pretty amazing. Not since the Czar of Russia completely gave up most of his monarchy powers have we seen such a huge and selfless act of goverment...
Ever hear about something the gvt. decided and asked yourself "How the hell did they come up with THAT?". If Obama makes good on his promises, you'll be able to ask them personally!
I was actually IN NYC during that time. The release of Spider Man was delayed (it was supposed to come out very shortly after sept. 11th) specifically so they could re-write the ending involving the towers. It was quite a conversation topic for New Yorkers at the time. Myself and quite a lot of people were pissed at the idea of changing the ending as we saw it as a sort of memorial for the towers.
Instead we got the mediocre ending that exists for the movie now. That explains the trailer though.
I would have loved to see the original ending. And of course, I'd love to live in a country where big corporate entities don't pander to every little politically correct agenda and maintain some sort of integrity.
By the time you are telling them "GIMP... which stants for GNU Image Manipulation Program.. GNU is for GNU is not Unix" they lost all interest and just tell you to please resintall Windows. Who the hell would do that? If you're talking to a novice you're not going to go into tons of detail about acronyms and such, you're going to say "GIMP does stuff that photoshop does"
The logic of it is: with open source, people write software to fix their own problems. Only in rare cases (the big ones: Firefox, Ubuntu, and with commercial OSS) will any developer spend time fixing someone elses problem. That may be somewhat true, however it is far from the truth overall.
For example, I wrote some open source software for Asterisk administration. The initial building of the software was to satisfy both my own craving to code it, and to solve problems at my employment. However, every single addition, bug fix, and feature change have been to satisfy not myself or my employer, but people around the world who have requested it.
From my perspective, and from what I see in other projects, people who code open source are simply happy that people are finding use out of their work and are more than happy to code changes into their project to help other people.
Just to be obnoxious and really nail my point home, this is an excerpt from the homepage of my own project after I explain what the software is/does:
On A Personal Note I've been using open source most of my life and I'm ecstatic to be able to finally give something back to the community. I sincerely hope this software helps a lot of people and businesses.
I myself know a handful of people that I or friends have "converted" for various reasons. All the converts are very non-technical and they are all very happy with linux. Between the "No viruses? At all? Wow!" to "That moving cube thing is Awesome!" to "That's all I have to do to install software? And it's all free?!!" they are very, very happy with it.
Breaking point my right butt cheek.
It will take a long time for Linux to claim the majority of the desktops, but it is an absolute eventuality.
Crack: $25 / hit lasting 10-15 minutes Wow! 10 to 15 MINUTES?
Either you have absolutely NO idea what you're talking about or I need the number of your crack dealer! Seriously guy, you can buy yourself a $10 rock (it's a rock man, there's no such thing as a "dose" of crack) and that is, you guessed it, ONE HIT which tends to last anywhere from 1 to 1 and 1/2 minutes.

There is a documentary on this very subject. It's very in-depth and very, very disturbing.
It's called "Hacking Democracy".
Official website
You can also stream it directly from Google.
Warning: This documentary will cause severe outrage as you get a small taste of just how corrupt our government really is.

Wouldn't a few #ifdef's take care of that?
#ifdef _WIN32 // (or whatever) // 32 bit
#ifdef _CPU64
#define lint long long int
#else
#define lint long int
#endif
#endif
Then just use lint instead of long int as a type. Yes?
That way you just recompile the code for 32 and 64 bits, no re-writing...

Thats GLib not C.
In your example GLib is doing all the work for you, so it's not a apples-to-apples comparison.
Try actually writing real C code yourself and see if you like realloc.
THEN try php and tell me it's "too much work".
