11/21 How do I pass a pointer to a member function in C++ or Java (inner class and shit)? \_ Java: You don't. C++: You don't without pretty serious pain. \_ Wrong. Pass a java.lang.reflect.Method object. In C++, just take the address. --pld \_ Java: use a java.lang.reflect.Method object. C++: take address. What do you mean by "inner class and shit"? -pld \_ At my last job (where I respected most people for the most part and thought they were pretty smart) everyone would boo and hiss whenever anyone mentioned using reflection, claiming that it was so slow and inefficient. How bad is it to use? What are the performance issues? \_ The more helpful answer is you shouldn't use a pmf or Reflection unless you know what you're doing. Maybe you should rethink your design. --pld ? _/ Reflection unless you need to, and know what you're doing. Perhaps you should rethink your design and use a more natural solution (eg, interaces and adapters) --pld \_ reflection is very slow, not a good idea. avoid at all cost. |

11/21 What's better/worse: A recommendation from your TA or a recommendation from the industry? \_ industry. Unless you are trying to work for the same prof your TA is, and your prof thinks highly of your TA. \_ to be precise: "[one from] industry is better" \_ What about if you get a letter from a TA but get the prof of the class to also sign it? A friend of mine did this for her History class. \_ the admission comitte may wonder why the prof won't write the letter. The precedence goes from : influential industry leader (Bill Gates) > inflential prof (Patterson) > normal prof > normal industry Joe > TA > None. \_ I would put Patterson before Bill Gates. \_ hey moron, if the prof signs it they never know that a TA wrote it. I've had several TAs offer to do this. |

11/21 http://www.redhat.com/about/presscenter/2001/press_usschools.html happy microsoft will write off the 1 billion dollar cost off of their federal taxes-day. - danh \_ this is quite slick, it's almost as if they are just donating the hardware so more people can run their software. hardware so more people can run their software, yet they get to count the software installed as part of the 1 billion dollars. i bet they loaded each machine up with a lot every microsoft app to get the most bang for the buck. \_ Wow! Really? You think so? You mean MS got a sweetheart deal which *requires* them to put a zillion machines into the schools they're been trying to get in to for years because most schools are heavily Mac biased? How cynical of you to think this isn't a real punishment for MS but actually a huge business win at the expense of the schools, Apple, the plaintiffs and the legal system. \_ whoa. Someone got off on the wrong side of the corporate mattress today. Microsoft is a thriving U.S. business. You must be in bed with Osama! \_ No, he's right, whoever that was. Microsoft sucks. I hope that Sony or Nintendo gets to wipe them all over the walls later this year. \_ aw, come on. it's not abouyt apple vs microsoft. all the tech companies nand \_ aw, come on. it's not about apple vs microsoft. all the tech companies and schools for year. it's bullshit. how can people seriously be stupid enoght to look at districts where taeaching starting asalaries are less then 30k per year and think putting tnetwrok jacks in the class room is a good use of money? it's just a lot of well meaning idiots in politics all of society. have been trying to get more computers in the schools for years. it's bullshit. how can people seriously be stupid enough to look at districts where teachers' starting salaries are less then 30k per year and think putting network jacks in the class rooms is a good use of money? it's just outright corporate welfare at the expense of all of society, and in the long run at the expense of the tech companies, since they benefit from an educated population. \_ I especially like the part where most of the hardware may be either pentium or MacIntoshes (ie. unable to run any current MS software, so MS will donate the old windows 3 or Office 95 CDs/floppies that are stored in the warehouse). Just pure weasel good. Hell, that's weasel-on-a-stick good. http://www0.mercurycenter.com/premium/local/education/docs/msschools21.htm |

11/22 To whoever was asking about what happened to the israeli teenagers who were in the US illegally and they got picked up by the FBI after they were seen taking photos of themselves with the wtc burning in the background, they're still in jail without bail or access to outside communication, \_ Thanks for the boost to my cynicism. Let's vote these bastards out and vote new ones in. \_ I'm all for new bastards. \_ URL please? I thought this was a rumor created by left-wing Muslim fundamentalist Arabic anti-semites. \_ No, it is a rumor created by right-wing Christian fundamentalist American anti-semites. Keep your religious fanatics straight! \_ I read that they were released after a week or so. No URL, sorry. |
