Hi all, Its been a while since I've been around (Work has been really busy) so I thought I'd say hello and post an interesting question for us to consider (Or one I consider interesting anyway)
...

I use it for Image resizing, banner creation, icon creation ect. Its a really useful tool, If a little clunky on the mac.
Beats paying through the nose for Adobe though...

(Thankfully) The specification doesn't require real time updates otherwise, you're quite correct, It would be a browser based application.
I'm adding the local dB for tiny companies or those who...

I am under the impression that the pointer is just an address to the variable. I.E it points to the variable. Its of a fixed size and (Since its just a memory address) smaller than the variable it...

Sorry I dropped off the face of the earth for a week, the run up to Easter was busier than I expected.

What we're going to do is: develop the program with the ability to connect to a local...

I'm sorry, I'm used to dealing with Sqlite3 so the concepts of Oracle, MySQL and SQL server are a little alien to me.

First, thank you for your responses!
Second, The application is a rather strange one (I've never developed an add-in for another application before) Usually I would design a system that relies on a...

At this moment in time it will be single user, but I intend to allow the program to work with a single hosted database with multiple connections (IE 1 database, many spreadsheets)
It should be...

I'm currently working on a project to create an add-in to Microsoft Excel and I'm having a little trouble understanding where to put my database file.

I want to use a db file to hold important...

I'd like it if we could just avoid the ads all together.
I'd happily donate time just so I (And everyone else) didn't have to see them

I have a question then:

Why do we demand so much from our web browsers when we demand so little from others?

And has this demand created the product? or has the product created the demand?

I just opened Firefox, as usual, and I got a 'sponsored ad' in my new tab - Not a full screen advert, but rather one of my little common page spaces replaced with a sponsored link.
Has anybody else...

Thanks for filling in the missing piece Rob :)



I wouldn't worry so much about Assembly and Binary. It may be good to have an understanding of what they are, but (I should imagine) most...

Assembly language is a series of mnemonics that are very very closely mimicked in binary i.e. 1 term (mov) to 1 binary instruction.

For example:

mov r1, 0x1

This loads register r1 with the...

I think you'd find that more than 10% or 20% want things to stay the same in terms of look and feel.

So, essentially, what your telling us you want is a more intuitive system that doesn't change...

I think what he is saying is quite simple:

He, and perhaps people like him, are struggling to keep up with the constant changes to their computers. Its all very well to sit there and say: "Well,...

This is a very interesting discussion to read. Perhaps as developers, we can do more to ease transition from one item to the next? Is that what you're suggesting Seppo_Jyrkinen?

Imagine this...

I think if they don't make it the only way to distribute software then its a good tool. Having a central place that is standardized is really helpful.

I'm thinking apt-get repository back-end...

I'd love Homeworld 2 on my Mac.
Best game ever made, I'll fight anybody that says otherwise ;)

@Gustaf Sorry, my bad.

See, there are loads of languages out there that are no longer used and could be considered dead. It might even be that the machines that they were used on no longer exist,...

I just use terminal, It does what it says on the tin - why mess with that?

I'm not sure that is the argument at all. What I understood it as was that there are certain languages that no longer exist because they are not actively written in, not that they should be 'removed'

If you want to create a mini network then there is no reason for it to have a server, that said it really depends what you want to do with them. If you want to run a web server or database or...

Should we then redefine what a dead language is perhaps? What criteria should it have to fulfill to be classified as dead?

I'll suggest some to get the ball rolling:
1. It must no longer be...
