    [SOLVED] Re: Is Java really faster than gcc?

    It means the application itself executed faster, but spent marginally more time in syscalls.



    You'd be surprised. Implementation details may be related; perhaps Java's hash map is simply faster...

    They can already do this. I'm not concerned about changing implementation details.

    Re: A universal repository for all distros

    The former exists; it's called "alien", and I wouldn't be surprised to find tools to do the latter. As to being easier, you've changed your workload from "package everything in the world" to "support...

    Maybe yours looks different, but my BIOS looks like a fullscreen curses interface. Features are laid out in logical order and simple to manipulate. You're implying that by virtue of being presented...

    Re: BIOS will be dead in three years

    Eh? Assembly has a one-to-one correspondence to what most people refer to as "machine code"; i.e. binary. Assemblers exist purely as a programmer convenience.

    Yes it is, which is why that particular paragraph makes even less sense than the rest of it. I seriously doubt anyone actually still builds a BIOS in assembly.

    So you're against this technology based on the belief that unfounded assertions of being "graphical" in the article imply it will be buggy, insecure, and generally horrible?

    Sixth: After you've set up this repository, you now need every other distro to change their tools to make use of it, or write tools that can coexist with the official ones (and then it takes on a...

    Zilch. Shiny interfaces are also optional, so I don't expect to see any more of these. They already exist anyway; calling it a feature of EFI is misleading.



    Maybe, maybe not. I've yet to hear...

    Not necessarily; if the dictionary is defined as a class variable then you can simply pass self explicitly to the methods.

    That would be a ridiculous restriction; more likely it bars the use of things like SQL- e.g. "real" databases.

    Re: Can I make my own license?

    There is nothing to stop you, but there's no good reason to, either. There's too many software licenses already.

    You aren't, but wxWidgets apparently is. You can't. Why would you want to?



    If it's even possible. Consider also that wxWidgets itself might not even use zlib; perhaps one of its dependencies...

    [ubuntu] Re: I accidentally changed / to 770

    Uh, those are device files.



    Yes you can; / is the mount point itself. Boot a live CD, mount the drive, and chmod whatever directory appears in /media.

    [ubuntu] Re: I accidentally changed / to 770

    If the system still boots, and you can get to a root shell (recovery mode may or may not work), then simply revert the permissions:


    chmod 755 /

    Otherwise boot a live CD and repair it from...

    [SOLVED] Re: NASM - segmentation fault

    Which exit() are we talking about?

    There is a syscall called exit() (C's version is _exit()) which you are calling, and libc's exit() which eventually does the same thing- issues a syscall to...

    What exactly is segfaulting? If DumpRegs is being called properly and _start is what I think it is, leave/ret won't work because this "function" isn't supposed to return.

    Re: install eclipse c++ in ubuntu

    Not that I know of, but there isn't much you can mess up; Eclipse is rather non-invasive. Download a tarball and unpack it somewhere convenient. Run the "eclipse" binary contained therein.
