The other problem with English audio in anime is that often the voice-acting just plain sucks. Example: Trigun is completely unwatchable with the english audio, because everyone just sounds incredibly annoying. Maybe this is less of an issue for Americans who are used to the accent, but I just find it so grating when everyone in an anime speaks with an American accent and an annoying matter-of-factly tone that I'd rather read the subtitles regardless of the quality of the translation.
In python 3.0, since range has been replaced with xrange that doesn't actually create the list (it's a generator instead, so it just keeps spitting out the the next number as you iterate over it).
For python2.x the way to do it is
print sum(xrange(101))
Of course, that doesn't matter much with only 100 numbers, but for a few thousand or million it starts to hurt pretty bad.
Tortoise is also popular because it's very good. It's highly polished, easy to use, supports everything you ever want to do with SVN and is well integrated into windows.
It's certainly not just for lazy idiots, it's the way to do SVN on windows, and probably the best free VCS tool for the platform (I've never used any commercial VCS).
No, but anyone who's that interested CAN have one of these in their garage (or on their desk, more likely), and get their design fabbed by these guys fairly cheaply.
Sure, it's not quite as easy as hacking on open source, but hobbyist CPU design is definitely possible. Especially when you consider there ARE open source CPU designs out there.
Then you're missing the point of Gentoo, which is to let you do whatever the hell you want.
One of the ways this is achieved is compiling almost everything from source, with your own configure compiler options. Except it makes doing that really really easy; once you've done things the Gentoo way everything else seems to be really inflexible, full of busywork or both.
Of course, but it's largely a factor of our geography. Data doesn't magically get from A to B and when you are as far away from pretty much everything (including the other side of the same country) the economics are inevitably different to places that are more centrally located and/or have high population densities of their own.
That's bullshit. The population density of Australia's capital cities is way higher than that of America. People point at Australia's low population density and say "that's why we have slow internets!", but they fail to notice that most of our country is desert, and most of our population is clustered in a few cities (more than half of our population lives in just 4 cities).
Better approach than GOTOing to cleanup code: write C++ and use RAII.
Isn't C++ supposed to be messy, hard and inelegant? Why don't we have good support for RAII in our supposedly more modern, enlightened languages? C#'s using statement doesn't count either because it's so much more of a pain for BOTH writing the object and using it.
The whole reason everyone wants a real headphone jack is to listen to music though, so no headphone jack and no A2DP means the 8GB of storage and the Amazon music store are pretty much useless.
Even if it did have A2DP support that's not a real solution anyway: A2DP headphones are expensive, and similarly priced corded headphones sound much better, are lighter (no batteries), and don't need recharging.
An adapter is a better solution than A2DP, but they still suck - they're bulky, add one more thing to carry, and usually don't stay plugged into the device as firmly as a standard 3.5mm headphone plug. HTC is by no means the only offender, though it looks like Sony Ericsson is going to finally get it right with the Xperia (and they even have a whole line of "walkman" phones without headphone jacks).
Surely not just anyone can attach a rider to anything? I thought the people writing/proposing bills generally want their bills passed - and if they knew they'd never get it passed with riders, they wouldn't put a bill with riders up for vote.
Bottom line remains the same: if everyone stopped putting up with the bullshit, it would just go away.
And then we need to keep one other thing in mind: riders. Legislation that gets ONE vote often contains extra pieces of legislation that has nothing to do with the original legislation. This is why I agree with notion that the president should have a line-item veto power, and I feel that way regardless who is in office.
That needs to be fucked off, ASAP. There's a simple, easy fix: don't vote for bad legislation, including otherwise good legislation that has irrelevant riders on it.
You don't need to give the president any new powers, you don't need to change the system at all - you just need politicians with the spine to say "that noise has nothing to do with the real content of this bill, so I'm voting no. Bring it back without the bullshit and it gets a yes".
My thoughts exactly. I happily buy games when they're cheap and hassle-free. Case in point: Orange Box - available on Steam for about half the price of most retail games here. Downloaded quickly from a Steam content sever run by my ISP so I didn't even get charged for the data. Got to play the TF2 beta before release, stuff pre-loaded and I was playing before there were even any torrents out.
Another example: Audiosurf. Everyone making small, casual-ish games should use that game as their model: I played a demo, I liked it and I was able to buy the game on steam for basically loose change in my paypal account and start playing almost instantly.
When a game doesn't have a decent demo, I'll just pirate the full thing and never bother to buy it. When it's easier to torrent than deal with some stupid download system I'll never bother to buy it. When the price is near $100 (or more!) I'm not gonna fork that out when I could buy it from Asia for about $40 but I'm not gonna wait for that to arrive so I'm gonna torrent it. When I can't buy a game online there is no way in hell I'm gonna get off my ass to give you money. Here's a hint, game companies: If I pay you for your product it should be easier, faster, more convenient and generally a BETTER experience than pirating. Sort that out and you get my money. Make it a pain in the ass with stupid prices, no downloadable version, stupid DRM or the simple fact that I can get it sooner from the pirates than from you then YOU MISS OUT.
Oh god, have you ever used Minix? The microkernel/message passing approach makes everything horribly slow, and makes the code harder to follow because you can't actually trace calls. And if you crash any of the server processes (especially FS or PM) the whole system crashes anyway - we haven't actually gotten anything from the "trade-off".
The whole OS is an utter abortion in a bunch of other ways as well. Minix 3 has no support for paging - you have to set the VM size of a process as a file attribute! The default installation of vim gives you an out-of-memory error when you run 'vim ~/.vimrc'! Networking is pathetically slow no matter what you do, and the design seems to be generally brain-dead.
You know someone's number. You have never called this number from any phone traceable to you. You want to talk to this person. You buy a pre-paid cell phone, with cash. You go to a somewhat populated, but not CCTV-covered area. You disguise your voice (normal crappy cell-phone reception + compression will do a half-decent job of this for you), and you dial the number...
One point does not a pattern make. GP was suggesting that someone buys a pre-paid phone and uses it for a single phone call. Good luck with your pattern analysis on that.
This is exactly why I like C++ destructors (and the RAII idiom) - while memory management requires a little more thought than in a garbage collected language, management of non-memory resources is so much easier. Once you get used to RAII, you only do manual memory management in one or two places anyway and then you use the same pattern to manage everything.
Reading a file threw an exception which you didn't handle (maybe you handle it in a further-out scope)? The exception unwinds the stack, your file object gets destroyed, file gets closed - all automatically - and no resource leak! Try that in Java - you have to write a whole bunch of try{}catch{} crap everywhere, which messes with your variable scoping and eventually you figure you're fighting a losing battle when you find out that close() itself can throw an exception!
If the Nokia model numbers are so simple and logical, which is better - N82 or N95?
Which of the following phones have qwerty keyboards: E50, E51, E61, E62, E65, E66, E70, E71? Which one is the newest? Which one has the biggest screen?
Which 6-series phones run symbian and which don't?
There are way to many different models, and there is no rhyme nor reason to them, other than what "market segment" nokia thinks they fit into.

Cut-and-pasting then. It's still a problem (though one that should be solved by the editor, not the language IMHO).

Firmware is just a specific type of software.
Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin fit into the category, but some less well-known examples are:
That should be enough to get you started :)

You can buy it with Windows, Red Hat, or without an operating system. No OS is the default choice.
The epic fail is that it should've been
std::cerr << "Hello World\n";
Dunno how you'd miss that now that previewing is mandatory.
