C is and will always will be more efficient with hardware than C++ (for equally skilled programmers). Its also true that hardware resources will only become cheaper, so that advantage becomes less and less meaningful.
A lot of older programmers value hardware efficiency more the programmer efficiency, and younger programmers dont see the value in that.
"None of the major parties are going to give high preferences to this new party"
Do you remember the ALP (center left) preferencing Family First, a right wing christian fundamentalist party before the greens. Parties do really weird things with preferences.
Its very naive to think you can predict who will win the last senate seat, DLP won a senate seat with a 1.9% primary vote.
Australia has always had trouble standing up for itself, it used to hide behind Britain, now it hides behind US.
Yes there have been protests, but both major political parties are very similar on "national security", and neither have shown him any respect, despite significant popular support amongst voters.
There used to be a minor center party (Australian Democrats) with a slogan "Keep the bastards honest" which did pretty good for a while, but lost the ground in the center to the major parties. If wikileaks can revive that niche they could win votes from the major parties rather than taking votes from the Greens.
Some big politcal names will write him off straight away, but they embarrassingly just dont understand what hes about, or the demographic that supports him.
He is a chance for a big protest vote, his undoing may be the need to compromise to get things done in politics.
Yet ICANN has not done any of the following things that the ITU has proposed:
Unique identifiers for Internet users or their computers
Separate "service classes" for servers and client computers
A system of fees, surcharges, etc.
Special licensing for providing particular kinds of Internet services
How many elected US government officials have;
- Overseen and supported extensive national and international surveillance of the internet.
- Supported warrantless/roaming wiretapping laws which some argue are unconstitutional.
- Supported a tiered internet
- Proposed taxing the internet.
why the people who are most vocally calling for the ITU to take active control over governance of the Internet are representatives of the governments with the strongest history of actively suppressing freedoms
why the people who are most vocally calling for the ITU to not take active control over governance of the internet are representatives (or fanbois) of the US government which has the strongest history of international domain name seizures, and RL invasions and seizures of foreign property.
poster has no data since there is none (in english; hint hint) that suits his narrative.
By the poster, do you mean me (the parent), who lives only speaks english, and whos narrative is to make the point that Israel has been aggressive in the last 50 years.
I take the Hint as indication that your are somewhat discriminatory in your views on this topic.
If you cannot find one case in the last 50 years where Israel has been the aggressor (which is not to say others havent been the aggressor at other times) then no amount of data would be accepted by the likes of you.
There is no point showing data to one who does not understand Logic.
You mean perhaps Egypt leaving Israel alone, and Israel withdrawing from Sinai, and Israel/Egypt enjoying decades of being 'left alone'? The relationship has been cold and tense at times, but definitely 'left alone'.
You claim that Israel, having not committing an unprovoked attacked on one specific country (Egypt, which i don't know is true), is proof that Israel wants to leave everyone alone.
Thats like saying there is one kid the school bully hasnt beat up, so that is proof he isnt a bully.
"It would leave them with no security at all, which is an unacceptable outcome for people that have had rockets falling on their homes for decades as it is."
Are you talking about the Palastineans or the Israelis ?
I assume you meant the israelis because the palistineans have missiles rather than rockets falling on their home. But i dont see why one is acceptable and other isnt.
Also, i dont understand your argument about borders giving security. There are borders everywhere, lots of them have woobly lines and DONT have missiles and rockets flying above them.
The BORDER didnt start the conflict,and its not going ot finish it. Wars are primarily about people, not imaginary lines or resources.
That breakthrough uses special coded TCP secret technology only known to the select few who sign the NDA. The rest of us have know it since 1951 as Hamming Codes, or more recently Forward Error Correction.

The Sydney Morning Herald article may have been sparked by Anil Dash's recent Blog Post - The Web We Lost ...
I believe you are correct, the story states, 'In a post earlier this month, popular tech blogger Anil Dash lamented ''the web we lost''.'

organization's main goal is to break US Law, then you don't get to do business with US-Based Financial Firms.

Are you sure the intent of a corporation can be used to ban their operation in the US ?
e.g Would someone associated with the mafia (but not charged) be banned from running a legitimate buisness ?

We need to send a strong message to the world that the Internet has thrived under a decentralized, bottom-up, multi-stakeholder governance model
Isnt that what the UN is ?
do they have a capital punishment law for treason over there?
No, they have to send them to the USA for that.

So much propaganda flowing in support of ICANN.

the inherent competition and struggle for money in all aspects of our lives make us the greatest country ever.
(us being the United States)
I believe India has the most extreme form of capitalism in the world, if true, shouldnt you consider India to be a greater country than the US.
P.S. oh and greatest country ever, seriously ? I hear Rome was pretty good in its time (for romans at least).
This is why the US cant be trusted to control the internet.
They did do very well with their propaganda campaign against the UN though.
people are only interested in what they see as "their Social Group"
People are part only part of social groups that they see as interesting.
Chicken and egg.
do they have a copyright agreement with the US?
So we need permission from the US to enforce international copyright agreements now ?

Please cite an example?
Do your own research, if you cant see it then nobody can help you to see it.
Leave Israel alone, and they'll leave you alone.
Israels actions of the last fifty years cast very strong doubt on the correctness of this statement.
"It would leave them with no security at all, which is an unacceptable outcome for people that have had rockets falling on their homes for decades as it is."

Is this the same as last months "breakthrough" technology described in the MIT technology review.

"so basically if they developed the code and use a closed source OS that is not linux then redhat don't have a leg to stand on..."
Is RTS OS is a closed source OS, or is at a dressed up Linux kernel ?
Its not true that he is an underworld figure, yet his image (not the underworld figure) and accompaying story stated that he was.
The summary didnt mention that someone hired a hitman to kill him due to the mistaken identity, he was shot but survived.
Still, its debatable how much responsiblity google should shoulder for further promoting the defemation.
