Subtitle support was already great back in $a_date_long_ago_in_computer_years. Dunno what 2.0 improves on, fluff support was already pretty good, probably it's about doing that on soft subs.
Anyway, the thing with anime fansub subtitles is that they go beyond normal subtitling, adding karaoke with characters(and images) glowing, fading, changing colors and jumping around the screen; typesetting floating objects translations right into a precise place in a timed frame, along resizing, translating and rotating that object if the background image requires it.
It usually isn't that bad, but then Akiyuki Shinbo happens.
I believe there's a market for each product, but they should be categorized strictly:
- Up to 3.5 inches is for people who want a classic cellphone, for calls, messaging, agenda, etc.
- 3.5 to 4.7 inches is for handheld internet browsing, heavy touchscreen app users who still want a cellphone.
- 5.3" is the electronic notepad category, to be used with stylus pens for making small notes and drawings, for users who also want the above capabilities.
- 6 to 7" is the reader category, for extended, still, handheld, reading of books. They should be extremely light for their size, 300 grams at most, which pretty much only e-Ink readers can deliver that.
- 7 to 10" is the tablet computer category, for touch screen app users, small presentations, business substitute for reports and documents, ~600 grams at most.
Anything north from that is not intended for handheld usage.
Read the chart above as "You will be uncomfortable if you use X to do Y."
Please correct me if I'm wrong in this analogy, Are _KDE_ Frameworks 5.0 is to QT the same as _Apache_'s many frameworks are to the Java SE/EE platforms?
Really no major coupling at all?
Since current Java SE code isn't expected to run and have the very same behavior in Android without modification in previous versions, I don't think it the current version would be any different.
BTW, are Android developers considered to be Java developers by Oracle?
The issue is about cheating, Blizzard cannot verify if during your offline quests you didn't cheat, sou you can't go online with the same character and play with other players under the same rules.
The answer is simple, when you want to play offline, you can either start anew, or load a copy of your online character in cache in your computer. The Battle.net version of the character and its progress will remain frozen. When you choose to play online, you just continue with this online version; offline "tainted" characters won't ever be able to play in Battle.net.
This way you can have multiple "saved games" offline.
Well, bsnes is actually libsnes + qt gui(perhaps qt also handles the input, dunno), so you can easily build another UI as the emulation part is externalized.
Usually when one asks if language X has pointers, the person wants to know if it can do pointer arithmetic, and that's a resound NO in JVM based languages.
Which is why we say Java has references, not pointers.
Yeah, they might also be able to perfectly predict earthquakes, tsunamis, gamma ray bursts and sudden influx of users in your site/internet-based product.
Yeah, ARIN should take all the unused blocks back, that would give us a lot of more time to complete the transition. Another two months should be enough, right? Right?
I've been paying my bills for 3 years developing in Java, and many more years programming at all, I don't know if this counts as an expert analysis or not, I don't care.
Examining Exhibit J, I believe the Android implementation was copy-pasted from Sun's. In fact, it was a pretty lousy, newbie-ish job trying to mask it.
Just looking at the bad parameters and local variable names makes me want to punch the idiot who named them. And what's with all the magic numbers hard-coded? On the other hand, I praise the Sun developers for their implementation.
About the iteration structures, I also prefer using the for iterator instead of a while structure, it makes more sense when you want to scope the variable. Unfortunately the structure becomes a bit top-heavy with all the inlining.
Examining Exhibit I, I'd first ask what is the problem. API documentations should be one and the same, it's a standardization FFS! The only strange thing I find with that Javadoc, is why java.security.Security is a java class, and not a java interface.
You could argue that the class design is really trivial, and how two different implementation could be identical under the KISS principle, but it's really hard to believe it's a clean room implementation. It's a bastardized version of Sun's code.
An add-on called “Mozilla Sniffer” was uploaded on June 6th to addons.mozilla.org. It was discovered that this add-on contains code that intercepts login data submitted to any website, and sends this data to a remote location. Upon discovery on July 12th, the add-on was disabled and added to the blocklist, which will prompt the add-on to be uninstalled for all current users.
Software developers already live taking patent risks just by doing their work, developing software. Media encoding isn't the only patent elephant stomping in our lawn, we're pretty much surrounded by thousands, specially ye ol' $PATENT which just now happened to be implemented on the internet or on a smartphone/tablet/portable device of the week.
If you are afraid of software patents, I'm afraid you have to look for a job in another area where you don't even come close to inventing/designing anything.
If you take decades to find a reflector in the nearest astral body, it quite puts in perspective the whole difficulty of searching for extraterrestrial life light-years away.
Perhaps they could spend a supranonimillenary amount of money to make such aquatic plataform airborne, along with some anguineous lifeforms aboard, for massive damage.

Android does distribute the GPL portion early, they don't do that for the non-GPL real Android stuff.

I expect Apple stakeholders to be crying out in terror by tomorrow. I'm amused how he did that right after the market closed.

Sci-fi weapons agains Croczilla? Meh.
The only one who can save Australia from monster crocodiles is a 131 feet tall Crocodile Dundee!

You would be right if they were aiming for the name in english. Íkaros is his name in latin.
At least its easier to write than greek: , which Slashdot can't even parse...

Oh god, a dozen years later, the conflict between Total Annihilation and StarCraft will be reborn.
Hell yeah!
Heh, I remember playing Doom in my uncle's computer back in 94 as as 9 year old boy, and loved it, adored it.
16 years later, now an employed programmer, I still think it is made of black sorcery and an ingenious amount of coding. That's awesome!
Does Carmack /id Soft have a donation paypal-esque account? I'd love to give them what is due for all those early years of pure fun.
It will take months to face the Lich King because the last wing of the Icecrown Citadel raid will only be released some 12 weeks from now.
For example, the second wing, The Plagueworks, is going to open in 4 weeks from now.
...Yes, it cost $6b.
To put this in perspective, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle program cost $5.6b, and the resulting machine sucks.
Which is the bigger waste?
So they've got a black hole generator for 400 million less. Sounds like a winner.
Yo dawg! I heard yo like teh interwebs, so we put a tube in yo tuber, so you can first post here while u must be new here!
