Submission + - MS releases new concurrent programming language (microsoft.com)

zokier writes: Microsoft has released new programming language Axum based on the actor model. It's meant to ease development of concurrent applications and thus making better use of multi-core processors. Axum does not have capabilities to define classes, but as it runs on the .NET platform, Axum can use classes made with eg. C#. Axum is in an incubation phase of development and needs feedback from developers.

Comment Why not +x? (Score 1) 348

Could someone please explain why the +x solution was rejected? Obviously shebang will also be needed, but I don't see the problem with that.

Backward compablity could be achieved with a warning dialog: 'You are trying to open non-executable .desktop-file. What do you want to do? [Add +x] [Run] [Edit]' (ok, maybe with better wording but anyways)

The best reason I got from TFA(!) was that if KDE would be installed on FAT32-system which doesn't support execute-flag for files, then the system would fail.

Comment Not making any sense. (Score 1) 229

So game companies assume that those people that break the copy protection of original game are somehow unable to do so with the extra content?
If that extra content has any value its sure as hell going to be pirated as well.

So this gives nothing to game companies, but another step to legal gamers who now have to depend some download server to have all content, type in more codes etc, while pirates just keep downloading the game with extras from our Swedish friends.
