One of the worst things about OOP is the stupid analogies used to explain it. If the people you're explaining it to can't understand it in abstract, programming terms then they're not worth wasting your time on because they'll be useless programmers anyway. But, of course, it's probably not the audience that's the problem, but the writer - who's incapable of communicating without resorting to stupid analogies.
The only problem is that they're temporary carbon sinks.
No they're not. You just can't see the wood for the trees.. It's not the tree that is the carbon sink, it's the forest.
They are very inneficient carbon sinks. The problem is that they do eventually die and decompose.
....... and are replaced by new trees. It's not the tree that's the carbon sink, it's the forest.
For the first time in my life, i own a laptop that doesn't have an easily removable battery - a Samsung series 5 ultrabook. Normally i won't buy any device that doesn't have an easily removable battery, but a matt screen is more important and there's not many options when it comes to laptops. It's also the worst laptop i've had (in 20 years of owning them) for battery longevity.
Yeah, mine's lost half its battery life from that. I'm making the effort to run it on the battery as much as i can now. But the problem with doing that is that when you really need to run off battery, the battery's unlikely to be fully charged. That's a serious flaw in laptop battery systems - and one that there's probably no currently forseeable fix for.
Stop making excuses and learn how to do your job and you'll be happier too.
Too right! There's a lot of whining on slashdot about this sort of thing. As soon as you see it, you know the writer's just incompetent and blaming their tools.
That's how i feel too. However, i'm a computer nerd and have been for 35 years, and i suspect that makes me a bit different from average users. While Gnome 3 irritates me a lot (as do all other desktops, incidentally), i can see the point of it - and it's not aimed at you or me.
Not any more it's not. And it never was with anyone who had a clue. Flash based web sites always were and always will be shit.
Is it so wrong to believe in different languages for different things? It seems crazy to try and create one tool that does everything just so developers can be lazy or negligent.
It's wrong if you're lazy or not very smart - because you want a language that saves you having to actually do anything. You've only got to look at the shit that passes for web development on some sites to see that there's no shortage of those sorts of people working in the industry.
Frankly, the w3c standards are crap.
If you people put as much effort into learning how to use the tools you have as you do into making excuses about why you can't use them, you might actually get some useful work done.
If I am not mistaken you can do the same thing in Haxe, and that includes Flash development as well.
That would be useful if you had a time machine and wanted to work 10 years ago.
Flash? Seriously? are you suggesting the ability to produce the worst web sites ever is a selling point?

Brain? Fuck off! This is news for nerds, not news for retards.
A better idea is to get a red led bulb off ebay. Save electricty and sleep better.
It's the colour of the light, more than its brightness. Blue light inhibits melatonin production, increasing wakefulness. Red light's ok at night, blue light's not.
Small hint: writing like a troll just makes you look stupid.
All the bugs i've mentioned have already been reported. And, guess what... They only seem to affect people who don't use kde.
