In 1995 most games were in C or asm, not C++. Even will into 2000+ as asm faded out, C was still big and the C++ usage was largely as C with classes.

So an actually accurate statement would have been "some people are opposed to complete freedom on abortions". That's not quite the same as not supporting the advancement of women in society.

>C++, D, and Ruby are "MIT school" languages. What are you basing that on? C++ is a "lets add everything and let the user sort it out" language, how is that in line with the principles of the "MIT school"?

Tons of people use L4 for their systems, there's billions of devices running some L4 kernel. The question is why are they not switching to SEL4 given that it provides the same thing they are already using, but faster and proven correc

These "if you like Foo you will like Bar" claims are really silly. I've never seen one that was accurate at all, and I don't think they can be. Different people like the same things for different reasons. For example,

There's already a high performance, formally verified, "FLOSS" microkernel: http://sel4.systems/ As it turns out, very few people are interested in having software that works.

C is a great replacement for C. No, I don't mean that as a joke. Using C as a low level language and proving it correct via a higher level language gives you the performance of C without the security problems: http://sel4.

Child support laws frequently have little to do with supporting children. Payments are frequently far higher than necessary and far higher than the non-custodial parent can afford. There is no accountability at all on the custodial parent

Yes really. Atlassian products that are not using an open source license have nothing to do with open source licenses.

Yeah, the constant stream of security holes in PHP because the developers are so bad they actually chased away the only person they had who cared about security is nothing to worry about. You can just dip your app in some magic security sa

No, you can't just have "some guys that specialize in security". That's exactly what 99%+ of software is full of obvious security holes. 99%+ of developers don't know anything about or care anything about security

That's why a decent language multiplexes green threads over native threads so you can have your cake and eat it too. You still need the ability to choose to create a green thread or a native thread though, it is the idea of trying to

No they don't, you just said something. This time try actually expressing yourself instead of making a non-statement that just says "I'm offended by you".
