I think its far more common to say "conspiracy theory" as a way to discredit an idea. Take 9/11 for example. Pah! Conspiracy theory. Yet the evidence is that the evidence presented by the government is total bullshit. Which is evidence of c

"To fully pass the test, I'd need to see something that detailed who from Dyncorp was involved and to what extent." Yes, thats where the "conspiracy" bit comes in. We know these things are happening. We know they are being funded by Dynocor

"Boy-play" parties (and it aint Legos). They're even illegal in Afghanistan where they happened. Paid for by our tax dollars. And that's just a start. If you haven't seen anything illegal, you might want to open your eyes. While we're at it

"Conspiracy stories very rarely turn out to be true;" That's because when they are found out to be true, nobody calls them "Conspiracy stories" any more. We call them "scandals". (ref: "Watergate Scandal"). Note that the perpetrators were i

I have tried the iPad version. Its frustrating. It actually drops out of full screen mode if the commercials are in a different resolution to the show. Oh, yeah, commercials. So now where are my XBox, Wii and PS3 versions?

So in duck typing, a "duck interface" would just be a shortcut way of asking "is this thing I've got the kind of duck I want?" Is there a language like that? I would like that.

Gee, we've only been writing C# mobile apps for five years. Except now I can write iOS and Android apps in it too.

Corrupt officials in the US government must be overjoyed at how this is playing out. What is on the news? Is it: a) That US tax dollars paid for a US "security" company to throw a boy-rape for stoned Afghan police recruits, b) The US Govern

Well then, my apologies to all. I was genuinely surprised that this got so much news, but perhaps I shouldnt have been such a dick about it.

I've written memory managers used in console games for the N64 (4Mb), PS2 (32Mb) and a complete memory tracking system for Unreal Engine 3 on XBox360 (OMG 512Mb). I use MonoTouch for iOS development. Why? Because I can build complex object

As can many other languages. However, when I use .NET, I find myself wishing for maven and all the libraries immediately available. Without the VM, there would be no point in having the source. However, even with a great VM, other languages

The power of Java is not the VM, or even the system runtime, but the open source libraries available for it. It is time to create a "new language" whose compiler will accept Java, and whose VM implementation is unencumbered by legitimate pa

Perhaps I misunderstand the whole thing then. Tell me is this C++ code "pass by reference" or not? class Foo; void Bar( Foo& somefoo) { ... }
59.
by binaryfinery 16y ago
In which case there is no such thing as passing by reference. Ever. In C++ when you "pass by reference", what actually happens is that the address of the thing is taken, and a pointer is generated, and then that pointer is passed by value.

Assembly and C are low level languages. Javascript is high level language. The claim appears to be based on the fact that it is the lowest level available in the browser as if this somehow makes it comparable to assembly language, the lowes
