Not sure where you got $6k from.
We have a Yamaha & Juki machines and they cost between $60k and $120k new + feeders.

For $6k you get somthing more like this.

I had a debt collection agency come after our business for $100 unpaid cell phone bill.
It was from a lone disused cell phone where we had either never received the invoice or admin had misplaced it.
I said no problems, just give me a copy of the invoice and we'll pay up.
They said. Can't do that.
To cut a long story short, the phone company sells anything past due date to a collection agency BUT doesn't bother to give them the supporting documentation.
How retarded is that!

It's just that saying C++ is more complex than Java has little bearing on C. C++ is an immensely complex language: loading and using C++ programs is slow. The overhead of using C++ is immense. It's incredible. Name mangling causes tons of comparisons in initialization and during lazy look-up; while classes require constant indirect look-ups through the virtual method table as a matter of course.

In C, you have none of that. memcpy() is just memcpy(), and it's in the PLT. A call to memcpy() doesn't invoke a look-up through the virtual method table to determine which pointer to use for a call %register,$pointer; it's just stuffed into the PLT, and a call to it causes a hard-coded call %register,$offset.

There are no template functions in C because of no name mangling.

It's been on TV network news, too.

In Project Management, procurement management involves advertising and bidding contracts, selecting sellers, writing up the statement of work, quality guidelines, etc., then continuing with performance reviews and metrics to track the quality of work and determine if it meets the contract and the project needs.

Obviously, that didn't happen.

"Better" is not a purely subjective term. Something with higher quality and lower cost is objectively better.

Well, the statement was made 2 days ago, so "last year" doesn't count. Until last year, your girlfriend was single, so having sex with her last night was okay, right?

Who cares what that idiot thinks? She is completely unimportant.

That argument is stronger. Your argument was, "If it wasn't there at the start...." which is irrelevant when speaking about proportion.

You substituted "100%" for "majority", which need only mean "50% plus some". Linux was released 23 years ago; ICC version 6 was released in 2002, 12 years ago. That's 11 years before ICC version 6.0 for Linux and 12 years with it; I don't have numbers for pre-6.0, but assume earlier releases came at chronologically earlier points in time. Given its rapid development in that period, the earliest likely release was 2000 or so; but 2002 is the earliest release I have data for.

Except the Intel C compiler, which is inappropriate for other reasons stated (i.e. it's shitty for non-Intel architectures). Still, given the argument--a GCC bug on x86/x86-64--and the twelve years of potential tuning for icc to support high-performance situations (i.e. embedded architecture, where 16% speed-up matters), broad compiler support is reasonable. It's not like LLVM just becoming useful last year and triggering a scramble to rebase onto CLANG.

2002 was the year of Gnome 2.0, of Linux entering the 2.5 development cycle (2.4 was state-of-the-art), of SuSE 8.0, of single-core CPUs and no AMD64. It was a long time ago, a different age, when journaling file systems were hip and new and Hans Reiser hadn't murdered Nina yet.

You, sir, are an abusive moron who is obviously not intelligent enough to realize that the Mars rovers are spinoffs from Apollo. Were it not for Apollo there would be no Hubble, no Martian robots, no ISS, none of the space exploration done today. Obviously unlike you, I remember Sputnik. We can thank the Russians for Apollo.

Now crawl back to 4chan where flamebait like yours is welcome. Where in the hell are the moderators?

I agree, more investigation is warranted.
