Comment Re:Also affects Flash developers (Score 1) 220

I delved into the development of flash once. Some things i know it can do over HTML5 are:

- Webcam/Microphone Integration
- Sockets (I believe a lot of games by Zynga maintain a constant connection to a server)
- Better handling of sound (On events, sound can be manipulated)

Also, Flash is a pretty Locked in environment. HTML 5 is still not widely supported in the aspects a game developer would need to make a robust and polished web game. Flash is made by one company and they are the overlords who control its development cycle. Its not a committee decision to add features.

Simpler "Hello World" Demonstrated In C 582

An anonymous reader writes "Wondering where all that bloat comes from, causing even the classic 'Hello world' to weigh in at 11 KB? An MIT programmer decided to make a Linux C program so simple, she could explain every byte of the assembly. She found that gcc was including libc even when you don't ask for it. The blog shows how to compile a much simpler 'Hello world,' using no libraries at all. This takes me back to the days of programming bare-metal on DOS!"

I took the reference you were talking about as they are advanced in their own way, and aren't concerned in the way of the race invading them.
Because the humans use technology and get destroyed, that doesn't mean that its anti-technology.
Its anti corporate greed. Its like the good ol "the internet is bad because there are predators on it" The internet isn't bad, the predators are.
