It is more like saying that the code compiles in the widespread standard C89 but not in barely implementated C99, as analogies to HTML 4.01 and any version of XHTML. They are both standards.
In HTML 4.01, open tags are valid in many cases (like p, br, hr), even in strict mode. In fact, if you close some of those tags the validator will warn you that although it is valid to close them, it is better not to do so.
Also, HTML 5 won't require closing those tags either, only XHTML x.xx require closed tags because they also validate for XML correctness.
As a former user of.NET, I've got to tell you that C# is a much better language than Java. .NET supports delegates and events, so you don't have to clutter your code with anonymous classes to do simple stuff. C# supports operator overloading (so you can do things like == on strings). In.NET everything is an object (in C# you can invoke methods directly on string literals, if you wanted to). C# has an integrated query language (syntantic sugar for making expression trees)..NET has real generics, not like Java. Sheesh, I can tell you 1000s of reasons why some people really like to use.NET and wouldn't use Java. Also,.NET core library is better designed than the JRE, where things like XML parsing are simple, so you don't have to deal with overengineered crap. If you are doing desktop apps, Windows Forms is a bliss to work with (Even gtk# is great). In Java you have to deal with Swing which is good, but with things like events support in the language it could be better (at least it supports doing some things declaratively using annotations, but it is that or using anonymous classes crap).
I could continue telling you advantages all day... I find the.NET framework with its languages to be better designed developerwise, maybe this is in part because it doesn't strive to be uberly generic and run everywhere. By the way I HATE Microsoft. I was a supporter of.NET, I lectured in a.NET course in my university. I stopped promoting.NET when the Microsoft/Novell deal was announced. Since then, I'm trying to digest Java, but I can't.:)
I want to say that the CD add on development started later than that, but 1991 then switching to Phillips in 1992, back to Sony in 1993 and then Sony releasing the PSX in 1994 after being thrown out sort of makes a reasonable timeline..
The last effort in making a CD addon was a joint venture between Sony, Philips and Nintendo, developing a custom optical disc (Nintendo Disc) addon.
Here in Chile the problem is awful. We've got 2Mbps/512Kbps plans for over $24.000 ($50 US). Local internet is ok, but it is common knowledge that the international pipes are heavily clogged.
To make things worse, all our internet access is routed through the US, so the RTT to any country that is not Chile or the US is a joke.

The whitepaper says that Quadros have got support for window clipping, hardware accelerated clip planes, antialiased wireframe rendering, more memory, etc. Although it doesn't say if the hardware accelerated features do exist in the GeForce family but are disabled by software.

I believe the answer for that is My Little Pony and the Carebears.
Microsoft reacted signing a 10 year collaboration agreement with Al Qaeda. Together, they will develop WMD...

Yes you are right, but your parent poster if talking about GPU acceleration, not 64 bit support. Macs also support OpenGL you know.
Personally I find the XPS one to be ugly
Hey! You're on Slashdot, not Engadget! We don't care if a computer is fugly or not if it can perform well. :)
Ah, nope.
Slashdot is CmdrTaco's blog.
How you dare use the b word on our Slashdot!!!
:/
Awww, I clicked the link and I can't believe Taco did that. I suddenly feel like I need a hug
Wanna hug me? Please? *wink* *wink*
Maybe the ads were aired because Bill was sleeping with the woman in charg... oh wait.
But the lectures of Stanford are in Youtube, where many OCW courses only have handouts online and not even slides of the lectures.
yes it is a great language, but i cannot say the same thing about the .net.
If the hacker didn't know that in advance it is still hacking.
Or like Carmageddon, where "Easy as killing bunnies with axes" standed for easy and "Harder than frenchkissing a cobra" standed for hard.

Yes, you can turn off their 'Google redirection service', but I found nowhere on their site that they redirect domain names.
Name hijacking is sleazy, period.
yes, q3a != instantaction, but it's relevant that your parent poster mentioned that there's a service that delivers what quakelive is trying to do.
Paul Reiser?? Score 2 Interesting???
I would say that it is very interesting that some people around here don't know how to read.

nice phrase, i'll use it.

Nice one. But in that case we should be called colombians, because the continents were discovered by Columbus.
I hope that name hasn't been taken yet.
