I think the point was that it should not be a 4GB download to get a C-compiler. Your point makes sense if you accept a 4GB download just for a compiler. There are many Linux distro's that come with a C-compiler which are less than 4GB in to

"Tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are" It's funny, ancient systems of metaphysics from the east have been saying this for countless years. But we all rush to the entrepreneur's words because he conforms to our idea(s)

Stems from the general apathy and lack of education of the Indian populace. This may be funny for some, but go and spend 6 months in India and you will realize just really how big this problem is, and how the country is suffering because of

Why would anyone engage in any "programmed" gambling game? It would seem trivial to give the user the appearance of winning but ultimately have it programmed that the house comes out on top.

Could you provide some examples? It's interesting to know what problems others come up against when working with frameworks...

by nsomaru 15y ago
I guess the best of both worlds for a beginner like myself is to find a framework (Django) that treats its parts as libraries (i.e. you can swap out any one part for another). Granted, it's not completely seamless, but the option exists. Ma
