    uh, that 100% cpu widget thing is fixed. xfce is nice, I dumped Ubuntu for Debian 6 with xfce. better than the Xubuntu, even.

    Nah, C objects can do what is usually thought of as very high level language-type things that Bjame Stroustrup's pansy-wimpified C++ objects could never dream of: duck typing, dynamic typing, mix-in methods, dynamic addition of methods, and even some aspect oriented tricks.

    It isn't just the amateurs, but schools all around the globe have large telescopes. No way could any one government suppress students, faculty, visiting scientists. The University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS has already found potentially hazardous asteroids, last September it found a fifty meter one (2010 ST3) at 20 million miles from earth.

    I hit up ATMs for -large- amounts of cash at a time ($200 or more) and have anonymous spending money for a couple of weeks

    you must be single. Married with children, I can pull $400 out of an ATM and have it gone in days.

    It counts for the purposes of my post, for the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion (ANP) program huge amount of money spent on design for conversion of two B-36, and a couple of reactors were built

    On a more serious note, the term "black dwarf" can be used to describe a white dwarf star that has cooled to near absolute zero. There will not be such a thing in this universe for at least 10^15 years.

    Not an issue with asteroids, too many astronomers independent of the U.S. government would see such a thing. It's the same with the tin foil hatters claiming huge amounts of radiation are blowing across the USA from the west, too many people could detect such a thing (including me)

    not true at all, plenty of major projects (like libxml2) use the c-struct-object idiom very cleanly, I find it is *easier* to read than C++

    yeah, that's almost as crazy as a nuclear reactor on a B-36, who'd be insane enough to put any money into a concept like that, or build a couple reactors for that? hahaha

    no, the steam systems and turbines are installed, power cabling in progress, only the two reactors are on site and not installed yet. more than normal barge.

    false, objects can be done in C as pointers to structs with members pointing to data and structures.. In fact, that's how the early c++ "compilers" did it.

  23. Re:and Java on the software side? on How Linux Mastered Wall Street · · Score: 1

    I know this will be quite hard for a java fan to believe, but one doesn't need go about "reimplementing the JVM" in order to write code to solve any particular business or science problem. For high performance applications, there are compilers for a multitude of languages that produce assembly language for all manner of computer architectures, and those will thus in general be faster than Java since very smart people have gone to the trouble of making optimized high performance libraries for any commonly needed task such as matrix and vector functions and other maths, thread pooling, rpc, all the common data structures.etc. These will in general "whoop java's ass", to use a colorful colloquial expression in the common vernacular, and run with a much smaller footprint and with much less loading time. More than years of working with java/j2ee, and more than 25 years of solftware development, have lead me to this conclusion.
