  1. Re:Teach them C++ on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 3, Informative

    forget turbo pascal! that's an educational language, which is hardly used in the real world (esp. because of the lack of object orientation)

    How does it feel living at least 22 years behind the rest of the world? I am asking because Turbo Pascal supports OOP for that long.

    Pray tell me how a modern Pascal dialect (as used by Free Pascal Compiler for example) is "limitad".

    I also happen to like Windows Mobile. I have owned 6 different HTC devices since 2003 and while there were some problems, the devices were much more powerful than the competition. I have passed my older devices to my parents and they like them, too.

    GP is still right though. A militia consisted of people with chopped off upper extremities is pretty much useless.

    It is better to go to the doctor before a problem gets really bad. It is also cheaper.
    And no, you don't pay for that. You pay for your own insurance.

    Also you are a liar.
    Twinrix costs EUR 65.60 per shot, Havrix 1440 costs EUR 47.25 per shot. For just holidays one shot is enough and often the insurance companies pay for the vaccine if vaccination is recommended for that country by the Federal Foreign Office.

    And by the way, antibiotics are quite expensive. The price of a box of generic amoxicillin is around EUR 70.

    It is not a flat fee in Germany but currently at 14.9% of the gross wage. The employee pays 7.9% of it, the employer 7%. The fee is capped at the gross wage of EUR 3750 per month, making the maximum fee EUR 290 for the employee and EUR 257 for the employer.

    Well, the one of HTC Universal did that for sure (I owned three of them, I should know).

    No, he isn't. Speaking as another former Soviet citizen I can attest that in some things people were more free there, especially in the eighties. Stalin died in 1953, you know.

  16. Re:Who give a turkey? on LG's Windows Phone 7 Series Early Prototype · · Score: 1

    It might be a faulty hardware then or some bad written application, because even my parents own 3 WM phones and they don't even know how to reset them because they never needed to do it.

    And I am still a part-time CE developer.

    It works pretty well. I used my windows mobile phones for remote desktop to my windows machine all the time, even for browsing the web because the desktop firefox is just way better than any mobile browser and can take advantage of a much faster cpu.

  22. Re:Stop mentioning Netbooks on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Most consumers buy a netbook not as a desktop replacement, but as a portable desktop. They don't need another computer just to web browse and check emails, their current one can do that just fine.
