There has been considerable progress in understanding the working of human memory in the past many decades.

Higher resolution streaming movies will be the most important thing in the next few years to come.

Projecting further into the future, 3D image/hologram transmission could be a probable candidate.

I personally feel that a language core should be the work of a single person.

Even 2 persons should not work together on a language core. The quantity of communication required if 2 persons work on a single language is so large, that hinders and messes up the development process.

The core set of axioms that form a language are almost fundamental as the laws of nature to that language. Just imagine theory of relativity being developed by several scientists together... almost impossible.

Partially true; because even before the software boom, most techies aimed at working in a foreign country (like the US) where they would be much more well-payed.

Yes, LW-procs are normal processes; but they're written in a way that minimizes resource consumption. I first came across the term while reading about Chrome.

Avoiding terminology like process/thread that varies from system to system; my main point is memory sharing between multiple threads of execution should be avoided.

Found Easter Egg!!! Drag the title bar "Chiptunes release ...." downwards, and you'll find a another cool javascript app.

thanx for the advice

It makes me regret when I recall how much of my life I've lost to programming.

I spend most of my mid-teens (15,16,17) writing pointless C programs (interpreters, compilers, etc. for pathetic new languages that probably no one except me will use).

While my classmates from high school went out dating girls, watching new movies, etc.; I would be sitting in front of my computer palms on forehead fixing hard to find C pointer bugs.

The only person I could have a decent conversation with was my CS teacher. In the end it was only after coming to college I realized how much I had lost.

I barely had any communication skills, absolutely zero sexual experience (haven't even walked holding hands with a female - even today) and the reputation of being a geek. And you know what? I realized I wasn't a happy person anymore.

I think this kind of a life is seriously screwed. Very soon (been trying) I'm gonna totally quit "being geek" (programming for a hobby, etc.) and try to be normal like everyone else.

Totally agree.

Coincidentally, I'm in school and many people have told me the same thing.

To be honest, I don't "enjoy" anything about it. This only makes me wonder if college is supposed to be the "best part of your life", (and its quite the opposite for me); then the the rest of my life should be pretty darn depressing.

If they really want their platform to be a universal success they should give developers full freedom to design and sell apps in any way.

If any of you remember it was exactly this kind of behavior that led to failure of early Macs against Windows. (Developer's needed apple's permission to sell apps for the early macs).
