Java 6 has not done too much to improve the JIT implementations IMO, they have now completely removed the memory management from the user's hands. JVM handles everything now. And I think a few more features like navigable sets, maps have been introduced. I feel they are more concerned with what the new changes will do to the existing legacy code which is limiting them to quite a large extent.Coming back to your arguments I think we have summed up years worth of debate on the very topic...Ultimately the verdict should be - use the language you are more comfortable with and you will get better results. Programming skills count more than the programming skills and proper implementation of concepts is what is more important.

ha ha!!I never though I will find too many people whi have read that book as well.:)I was quite amused after reading the description and thought why not!!!!!People conceive that book to be a manual for seducing women and in most ways it is...but I believe it points out a number of do's and don't for me and gives us numerous self improvement tips. It will definitely try and make you more comfortable with the opposite sex.Just use it as a good read, In short a good book but nothing extraordinary.

Just rent out a few flicks..I find movies a great way of relieving boredom and they make time go by real quick too. Invite a few friends over and it will be even better.:)Grab some popcorn, hang up your boots and turn a movie on - always works for me. And if the movie matter is inspiring I start getting all kinds of ideas in my mind on how to further get rid of my boredom.

Some of you are quite intense with your workouts!!!.....I just run daily and exercise using a push ups and surya namaskar routine that I have had ever since I can remember....In fact I have never been to a gym in my life. I prefer playing some sport to working out.:)But seriously if you guys follow your workouts, it can't be anything but good. The important thing is trying to push yourself just a little bit more.

Sleeping has never been a problem for me....I generally am enough tired after a day's routine.I just reach my pillow and voila!!! Instant sleep.:)It is waking up that is the trouble for me...especially after experiencing a jetlag or changing sleep habits...

I am afraid of dying but I dont' fear death.If that didnt make sense to you let me clarify. I have led a very happy life with occasional troubles that everyone faces at some point of their lives. I am in love and care deeply about a number of people in my life. I am quite concerned about how they will deal with my departure. I have dealt with personal loss and understand that sooner or later everyone will move on but just the thought of them going through grief makes me despise death. Besides I still believe I want to do a number of things before i finally pass on including obtaining certain moderate accolades that I have set for myself. I know I am quite selfish in all my reasons but that is how I am.:)So I am not worried if death will be painful or it will come to me anytime soon. I just feel life is so much more wonderful....

WOW!!Detailed and well explained. I must say this is a brilliant explaination and a most descriptive thread.I think i have given it a thorough read and find it much better than most books that are available on the subject.Kudos!!!!

I just find it funny that the dude who is so happy with his so called "best webhost" has to come here to post.:)I came to Xisto because of its reputation and though the forum posting is a bit irritating to some it is actually a lot of fun.:)Anyways not going off topic, based on the various reviews above I would be scared to try it out.

Occasionally java gives better results with respcet to speed but i still feel based on JIT implementations and structure that JVM performs with, there is a reduction in speed to a certain extent. People are tempted to believe that because of high organization java will give them more speed, i agree but java is slow not bacause of design but the JIT implementations. So as long as you use a single class computation java will be on par with c++ wrt speed. I will provide you with an excellent article on this topic: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ I would still say C++ is more of a mid level language.bah!! it is not really important:P I have worked quite a lot with COBOL as well in mainframes, compared to that anything is low level:D

I am shocked and disappointed that VLC is not not in the list as a media player. It consumes very less resources and plays almost anything and everything.I have used plenty of softwares over the years like BS player and still occasionally use windows media player( i love it as well) but VLC is the king amongst all for meFor music i definitely like winamp classic still - I am too used to it to move onto anything else. More like a habitual situation in this case.:)A media player is not supposed to have burning, ripping options as most of you suggested, i use other softwares for those features.

Amongst the popular ones i think nod32 is very good. Norton will come a close second for me.Then come mcafee,avg and the others. Then there are also zonealarm, trend and quite frankly many more.:)The important thing is to stay from cracked softwares and especially cracked antivirus. The most stupid and dangerous thing one can do is to get a cracked antivirus.

lolI tried it out, easier than i expected...it wasnt too rubbery and it didnt rise much. Did i do something wrong?The taste seems ok though- maybe a little less sugar but a decent results...

guys you are going of topic here.:)I saw the first movie before reading the books. Quite frankly i found the movie irritating and decided to check the book out - to realize the hype that was harry potter.Let me tell you one thing whether you like the harry potter books or not Rowling is one of the most imaginative, innovative and brilliant authors I have read. Considering the age group she writes for she has maintained the sophistication to a minimum. The description of the universe she created it wonderful and appealing. I must say the universe had me in wraps when i started reading the books. Though the movies always disappointed me, the books always managed to pique my interest. There is a certain picture you create in your mind when you read the books, the movies never lived up to my imagination though they were restricted by time always.I do not follow the millions of fanfictions that people follow but I will surely catch any other pieces of fiction that woman creates.

Thanks for the reply.The system seems accurate as I have already earned my first dollar.:)This is more fun than i had imagined. Thanks for the instructions as well.

Down in the subcontinent, soccer is limited mainly to the metropolitan cities and maybe a few other cities in particular. The local leagues are not so popular but the leagues in europe especially the EPL and the european champions league is followed with zeal in the major cities.Football(american) however is almost non -exsitent here - they do not broadcast the playoffs - Can you imagine that????In fact I am most worried every year about missing the all start games of the nba as well....Cricket dominates the subcontinent. It is played at every nook and corner and followed by a vast majority of the population. It is almost a religion. If you feel the english and brazilians are passionate about soccer you should come for a one-day or 20-20 game in here. Soccer though dominant in some parts is surely not a king or queen of sports..Just my opinion - I play soccer myself and am quite handy so I do not want any soccer fans jumping at me for refuting the claim.

well adidas do have reebok as their secret weapon..So they might get an edge in near future.Currently I do believe nike has a bit of an edge but with good strategies adidas can come forth a lot better and further. Personally I use both brands and do not have a preference. Just choose the goods that I like irrespective of the brand.

I agree - Duckworth- loius is definitely not the best way to win a match especially two in a row.I was most disappointed by the rain pouring down at this time of the year, In the end the deluge of fours and sixes pacified me to a certain extent. All in all England did get outplayed but India would have liked to provide the killer blow in more favourable conditions.I am hoping the enthusiasm does not die down after a clean sweep of the series. I am specially looking forward to some big knocks by KP and his gang to give a better fight to the high flying indians. Sachin didnt get to do much in this series so far, maybe rohit should be brought back.

I agree with the previous reply - java is platform independent and provides a huge amount of features which are more secure(you might disagree) and i absolutely love the memory management system and C++ definitely provides more speed - that is its best feature compared to java. Java is a high level language where as c++ is low levelThose being the general features you have to decide on the following questionsHow much easier would one be than the other? Both are very similar and it is a personal preference of the programmer. Try both and see which one you like best.How long would they take to make? How long would it take to learn everything necessary to make a mmorpg?How many more people would play the game writing in Java? This is purely based on how good your game is. Language itself isn't going to be a huge factor in determining if someone plays your game. Being online may expose the game to more people, so you could see a quicker response to the game... but the goal will be to get them to stay with the game and like it. That is all left up to your game design.I would recommed you to go first with C++ and use any library like SDL (Simple Direct Media Layer) which is freeand it's a good way to start with games, start by creating some easy and realistic, what i mean is create something that you can achieve. and finished it! then start developing mroe complex Applications and games..-C++-OpenGL-Win32

Shocking man!! And really sad as well that a huge number of people watching the disaster could not do anything to prevent the mishap or help out.Not to mention the fact that people watching were actually egging the teen on - cmon man even if it was a joke i doubt I would ever try to coax someone into committing suicide let alone watch the entire episode. It is very disturbing to see people take pleasure from such idiotic deeds by crazed individuals. Hopefully something like this will be averted in future and internet will be slightly more regulated to an extent that people can take action more quickly if they believe that something wrong is taking place.

I know it is an old topic and a lot of guys have given excellent ideas already but most of them forget one important thing...THE CORRECT way to do push ups. Here is some info from an excellent article.: Things You?ll Need: * Exercise mat * Comfortable, non-restrictive clothing Instructions: Step1 Starting push-up position Starting push-up position Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor and slightly more than shoulder-width apart, your feet together and parallel to each other. Step2 Look forward rather than down at the floor. The first contact you make with the floor with any part of the face should be your chin, not your nose. Step3 Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under your feet. Step4 Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor. Keep your palms fixed at the same position and keep your body straight. Try not to bend or arch your upper or lower back as you push up. Step5 Exhale as your arms straighten out. Step6 Pause for a moment. Step7 Lower your body slowly towards the floor. Bend your arms and keep your palms in fixed position. Keep body straight and feet together. Step8 Lower body until chest touches the floor. Try not to bend your back. Keep your knees off the floor, and inhale as you bend your arms. Step9 Pause for a moment. Begin straightening your arms for a second push-up. Exhale as you raise your body. Tips & Warnings * For easier push-ups, have an exercise partner place a closed fist underneath your chest. As you lower your body, touch your chest to the fist, pause, then raise your body. This is a little easier than touching your chest to the floor. * For an easier exercise, lower your knees so that they rest on the floor. Keeping your back straight and your toes tucked under your feet, proceed with the exercise normally. This decreases the amount of pressure placed on your arms. * Another variation of a push-up is the incline push-up. Leaning on a vertical surface, such as a wall, place your hands shoulder-width apart and slowly proceed with the normal exercise. * To isolate your chest more during a push-up, widen the position of your hands a little bit. If you want to work out your triceps more, do the opposite and bring your hands closer together so that they're under your chest. * If you have any condition that would impair or limit your ability to engage in physical activity, please consult a physician before attempting this activity.

I speak fluent English and Hindi and am conversant in french and japanese.:)With respect to regional languages I can speak and write in marathi and punjabiBe it bonjour or ohayou gozaimasu, I find learning languages a lot of fun and waste no oppurtunities in getting in a little practice, annoying to some of my friends.

Well, why dont you think from both sides of the coin. A person will not want to do charity unless he has means of completely supporting himself first.If we do have to bear advertisements or even post in forums it is an exchange of services to a certain extent. We are getting benefitted by little or no effort and the third party is also getting some benefits due to the mutual exchange.:)So with respect to money, it is free, you are not paying for the advertisements or support systems are you?

I personally feel you get what you believe in.If you let a fear take control of your mind - it will affect you in a manner you perceive.If you convince your mind that 666 might be a beneficial number to you - it very well might actually work out in your favour. But surely it will not make a devil supporter or a evil doer. It is out actions purely that determine what we are and who we are like. Numbers have little or no contribution to them besides giving us math and statistics.

After a lot of google search and research i thought of trying out Xisto.I first saw it listed at free-webshots.com where it is stated that there is mandatory forum posting required here. Compared to what you guys are offering, I feel members are getting a raw deal.:)I though might as well give it a try - i love posting in forums anyway.

Hi guys,I am pretty much a noon in the web designing and web hosting department.I hope Xisto gives me the right direction and the correct solutions that I might require in future as well.cheers,nik.
