Eiffel - now there's a name. With all the imagery of phallic, Gaulloise-smoked France, how could it not be a success? I even made it say 'Hello World'. Eventually. With a French accent of course.

It definitely sounds better than YUCK (or however it's spelled...)

Actually it's not so bad, as long as you use a black & white monitor with a grainy picture and smoke plenty of Gaulloises while getting an Algerian craftsman to do the actual coding while you talk in a depressed way to your girlfriend, sitting with a full ash tray and empty coffee thimbles.

I would say this is true 99% of the time, you can make a program as slow as a governmental office on C++, while a program written in JavaScript run circles around it.

That never was a hard thing to do and the last 15 years have seen many new specialists in that field 
P.S.: The mere existance of JavaSnailScript is evidence enough for that.

True that. I was given a problem that was to be solved in no more than an hour. I came up with a solution inside that hour, but I hated it. It was an O(N^2) solution. I spent much more time thinking about it and came up with an O(N) solution that put it to shame. So, am I one of those problem coders because I came up with a bad solution off the top of my head? Or am I a problem coder for coming up with an elegant solution so slowly?
I have very little experience with C++, all I know is the uncountable number of times programs failed because of memory leaks and they turned out to be C++ code. (I could get C# to fail with memory problems too but that was intentionally running a recursive routine over 40K times or creating an int array with 200,000,000 items.)

" int array with 200,000,000 items".
I once tried to read a big file for md5sum calculation, then realised it was bigger than my total available RAM.
As I remember, the solution was to use some sort of block-copying stream function(C#) with a big block to make the processing bearable.

It's not a perfect day.
Edna Krabappel and the inventor of the doner kebab have also died.
Tragically I think it is probably the kebab man who has touched my life the most and Lou Reed the least.

Did he carry a doner card?

I obviously need to crawl out from underneath the stone where I've been hiding for a while.
I was completely unaware of the fact that Ender's game has been turned into a movie that's coming to the cinemas in the US on the first of November.
As it's one of my favourite books all time I'm looking forward to watch it but expecting to be utterly disappointed. Especially as Harrison Ford is doing Colonel Graff.
What's your take on it?

I didn't know either, until about a month ago.
Excellent book (and series) by a master of his craft: I'm hoping for the best, but not expecting it. The Directors credits are all for films I don't remember or never heard of, which isn't a good sign...http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004303/[^]

Personally I found Enders Shadow to be the best one, but it can't really be read by itself as you really need to know what happened in Enders Game to get all the references.

I watched it last friday, obviously we are a bit ahead over here - I don't want to spoil you, so I summarize my thoughts on the movie without going into the story.
I haven't read the book, so I can't say wether it is good in compaqrison to the book. However, I think they managed to make it a bit different from the average crapfiction movie, but go and see it (you'll gonna watch at least a decent movie).
And then I heard it like a shot through my skull to my brain,
I felt my fingertips tingle and it started to rain,
When the walls of my bedroom were tremblin' around me,
This ramshackle voice over attack of a bluebeat,
And tellin' me she's only looking for fun.
And this was the sound of the very last gang in town.
I'da called you Woody, Joe

I read the books in the 80's, so my memory of what happened isn't fantastic, but I enjoyed them and any movie made based on any one of them should be entertaining. (The last in the series probably wouldn't transfer well to the big screen.)
