Simple, just use HTML5. If your POS browser doesn't support it then delegate that browser or user to the ash heap of history.

yeah, because passing a implicit "this" pointer in C++ and a typed object pointer to a function are so vastly different in storage sizes. Not. And seriously, if you are loading tons of useless data into an object, you've completely missed the point of Object oriented programming in the first place. So don't blame your failure to use logic and reasoning in OOP as a general case that applies to all software. C# and Java use garbage collection, which involves nondeterministic reclaimation of objects, which will affect performance. Sure, GC may allow for easier lockfree structures, but it simply pushes the delay to the GC, and a longer term storage of the deleted objects which then have to be reclaimed by the properly implemented lockfree GC. It's far more important to make sure your data fits in cache lines to prevent cache trashing, which means that your data has to be reloaded into the CPU's cache from higher level caches, like L3 or RAM. Just take a look at Intel's Thread Building Blocks. None of their concurrent data structures are lockfree, but do make sure to properly allocate objects to fit cache lines.

Yeah, I'm surprised to read about bitching from somebody at Google. However, I suspect this moron is used to programming for that 20th Century OS known as Windows. The concept of actually using a GUI toolkit that's not a POS is too advanced for him, and maybe Google should fire him, or at least hire somebody else that doesn't have a mental defection when it comes to reasonable programming. What's especially sad is that this alpha is missing even the most basic of things, such as Preferences, because apparently GTK+ is too fucking advanced for mental defectives.

What the fuck, are you using spinlocks or something? Cycles aren't wasted by waiting if done properly. The process or thread isn't scheduled to run until it's woken up by a signal or event, usually when IT'S DONE waiting for I/O. Meanwhile another process or thread can be scheduled to run until it's interrupted or the process that waited is given a turn to run again. Seriously, learn what the fuck you are talking about before spouting your nonsense bullshit. The problem is with applications that were not designed to be modular in the first place. Which is how you end up with massive behemoths like Firefox.

"filling a void" error: variable or field declared void

No, it's pretty much true. Most women do not use logic or reasoning. They can't even manage money properly. I for one do not want the vast majority of women to be programmers that would be working on anything of mine.

One can beat SMB3 in about 3 hours if you move suffciently fast, and it helps if you have the entire game memorized. The other Worlds and Levels in those worlds are not just for messing around on, they are an important part of the game too.
