C++ is the cornerstone of computing today, 90% of all serious software under your cursor is C++.
It is robust (type safe & object oriented) and performance horse as well.
Any contributions to it's base is worth. You may fiddle around with java, basic, python, lua or whatever but C++ is still the tool of the pros. I am using it on regular basis, with the right libraries it is as easy as "basic" but with the lighting speed of "C". Not to mention portability. I can run my OpenGL based apps on Linux, OS X and Windows natively with no speed penalty of the interpreter of Java alikes.
languages come and go
This one makes me laugh. I can asure you that C++ is not gonna "go". Its like to say "English" is gonna go.
Regular ISP provides local IP space for its clients and they SHARE public IP addresses that are assigned dynamically. So your IP address may be shared with hundreds of other people, making it a very diluted evidence.
I've "upgraded" my wireless home network to PERMANENT gigabit ethernet recently. So far so good.
Main reasons for trashing wireless:
bandwidth is limited (my top of the line Wireless-G router ASUS-G500) "top speed" is 2000kB/s and most often much much lower
latency is not even close to the ethernet and with aggregation goes up
annoying antennas at PCs (notebooks are ok)
fear factor that I developed during use of this wireless network,
outages and downtimes, router restarts, wireless card failures, instant vigil about the signal strength etc.
signal fluctuations due to moving people, home antenna shifts and other unpredictable factors that limits the signal
My notebooks are still on wireless, for the web it is just ok though.
I am expecting goverment and the presindent to create an new agency called NAPA (National Anti-Porn Agency) to purify the net from at least one of those.
I am amazed how much even some.org people still hype Google. It's no longer business honeymoon It's like some prick on CSS... head-shot, head-shot, "Killing Spree", head-shot, head-shot, head-shot "Unstoppable", head-shot, head-shot, head-shot, "Godlike". Altavista.com, Hotbot.com anybody anymore ?
Intel's board sees numbers going south and CEO of AMD Hector Ruiz
is such a pain in their asses. AMD is indeed very happy with Ruiz, his paycheck is about half a mil bigger then Intel CEO's $1.8M, also Intel's CEO and other high officers were selling shares like crazy recently.
"'At the end of the day, we don't play games for social interaction..."
I personally play ONLY games against/with real people like Counter-Strike multiplayer,
single-player is not for me, playing against "bots" is a dead-end play, I never play single player games.
Online gamming is the next logical step. Microsoft is on the right track.
"how are you supposed to figure out what kinda tech you need for space flight unless you go and try it?"
You aren't a technician are you? Do you think that any of modern craft is built by "try and error"? All new commercial jets, cars and of course space crafts are designed and precisely tested on computers, before any part is assembled. You can simulate pretty much everything today, even dynamical models like fluid and air motion and all kinds of material interaction.
What we are lacking is a new technology that will jumps us into sub-orbital space and further without such an energy and resource waste. We need a new materials, some kind of a much effective engines, much more efficient fuel etc. and there may be other way to get there more easily and without rockets. Current state of technology like "Shuttle" is not suitable for commercial usage due to expensive "space" technology and materials used. Look on extreme cost of shuttle parts, reliablity and longevity of these.. Look at tons of inefficient fuel used. Look at that laughable "orbital stations" where they most of the time spend by monitoring hundreds of their unreliable parts, they are only surviving there and under extreme conditions. With such a technology all similar projects looks like one big money eating blackhole to me.
I may be wrong, but I feel pretty comfortable with my "short side" view of this whole venture.
Exactly, see the difference between smart rich people like Gates, Jobs and these fortune by accident machos Allen and Bezos. They focus on investments that really matters or are very helpfull (Gates medicine/health money). Jobs made Pixar so big that even Disney was beggin for mercy.
Space exploration is not even close with the current state of technology. We will go to space easily with better tech in the future but not now. I am shorting Bezos and his company at the first sight of weakness.
Allen sank Charter Communication when Cramer was on board (held large long position).
Cramer even called him "bad guy" 3x times on his show when he was discussing his fund loses.
One of the funniest Real Money shows ever aired though.
The winner of the global file-sharing competition and the man who "grabbed the most" is:
Joe Fatbandwidth aka "100MBitTorpedo"
He scored bigtime this year and achieved to download staggering 5.1 TB of "online goods". Joe is 35 year old Chicago based power-downloader that esports BitTornado and eDonkey. He attended the ceremony at the Los Angeles convention center where he received his prize from the hands of P2P godfather Shawn "Napster" Fanning.
He told the news that he is going to upgrade his state-of-the-art leeching P2P connection to 1Gbit and moving to other location on the network backbone where he will be better positioned for next yeah expected tough competition. Great job Joe!
Are up to something? Are you hidding something? Are you making calls to "suspicious" countries. Are you talking mischief? No, let's them tape me, let's them record all my talks with my mom, with my grandma, my brother and all the happy friends calls. I want all my telephone conversation BE STORED so I will be able to use it agains whatever stupid accusation or charge they may EVER channel at me.
And btw: don't you think encryption will only make thinks worse for you? Ok, let's encrypt all my grandma talks with military strength cypher.. let's see what happens.
Today students "learn" languages and dont even bother to really understand the logic behind. The processing that goes down to cpu is always the same, its all about algorithmization and data management. Programming language is only a tool, its like a pen in the hands of a writer. You may have various types of pen or nice handy language tools, but that doesnt prevent you from writting lame and inefficient code.
Good programmer can use any of todays programming languages. The only thing you need to learn is to pickup the syntax of that particular language.
Object oriented languages like Java, C#, C++ are so similar, and most of the "learning" time you spend remembering the common library functions these languages interface with.
I use C++ on regual basis, I had to write some PHP stuff on the server recently. All I needed was to look up the delarations, syntax for condition stataments, pointers and array handling. In a hour I was set, and in the next hour the job was done.
I would only be satisfied when i could be able to run Linux on Windows (like a screensaver.. thats ok) then run Amiga500 emulator within the Linux then run ZX Spectrum emulator within the Amiga500 emulator then run my Atari Pong game emulator within the ZX Spectrum emulator then finally spend some good time playing the only game I have ever beed addicted to.

"77 pirated games" is self-explaining enough, if someone says "pirated" they do not mean you are getting 77 original DVDs with the XBox, but one and only one dirty XBox.
Omg, one should expect he's got some kind of top level administration rights, untraceable edits and "founder" like privileges as old fationed founders of software related products always had. Top dog of the project should be able to conceal whatever he is doing. But he is getting ass kicked by his own product. Founder got caught dirty on his own turf, muhahahaha.

so=> what are you guys sharing ? besides goatse and tubgirl of course
I am just wondering what their official flag might be?
But I've been wondering what, given the right tools, I might be missing.

I personally like these (well established and well supported)
