So now you're a psychologist? Ever read the studies on the effectiveness of the prison system? What percentage of those in the prison system are actually helped by said system?
That's a pretty erroneous analogy.
Again, your arguments are like toilet paper, they don't hold water and good for shit!
If you forward the raw conversation, including your own unmolested text you provide here, and the articles, I'm sure by now their spam filters take good care of your emails.
If you use snailmail, I'm sure their shredders are taking care of your letters.
If they read the articles and non-you-comments, they'd be far more enlightened than reading your comments.
I responded to what you wrote. Claiming criminal negligence was your words!
As for Pascal, what is Apple using now for OS-X? Are they still using Pascal? What embedded systems run with Pascal as their OS design?
I am actually asking. Just because everyone uses C doesn't mean it's flawless, I know, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is totally absurd.
I also find it disingenuous to compare a standard OS for a typical user (most critical systems have been hardened to not succumb to said failures you are referring to - though I am certain vulnerabilities exist) to shoddy construction materials. There's no threat to loss of life using a standard computer, by comparison to shoddy craftsmanship or improper use of available materials.
And "I never said anything about Java or .Net..." You didn't say anything about Pascal or anything, you just bashed C.
I do wonder though, Apple used assembly and an extended form of Pascal.
Perhaps the frequency of hardware changes, variety of hardware available, and productivity requirements are the reason people use C and not assembly as the core?
Wh ich states that:
-Data hiding above function level not supported in C
-Free use of global variables is common (programmer - not language problem) and results in mayhem when global variables are manipulated externally
-> this makes C unsuitable for component based system
- C lacks concurrency support, no language constructs for synchronization - makes it difficult to port kernel extensions, ie: device drivers from one OS to another.
As someone experience in both sides (embedded and .Net) I am sorry, but C is not that bad of a language. As someone else mentioned, bad programmers.
Personally, Java and the .Net platform are too bloated and you have way too many libraries added, swelling your binary (and memory footprint) well beyond what should be required.
And those "safe" platforms have their own security faults. Again, bad programmers are the problem. There's no excuse for memory leaks, other than either lazy or bad management who won't let the developer do things properly. That's not a C problem either!
C#'s garbage collector is not infallible, neither is Java's.
C's had a LONG life and a LOT of use, which means it's pitfalls are well known. C#, for example, is far from being totally understood. Not all of its pitfalls are known. Same goes for the .Net framework, or any of the web frameworks.
Criminal negligence for using a non-flavour-of-the-month framework? That's quite extreme.
Code properly and you won't have a problem, there's less risk with a well known language like C (who's a lot more than a few microseconds faster!) than newer frameworks like .Net 4.5.
You should really revisit C, or at the minimum, take some embedded courses and see the power of such a language.
I'd take C any day over C#. C# has its place and C has its place. Those places don't necessarily need to overlap and in some cases they should not overlap at all!
Actually there are plenty of examples where a corporation's owners escaped without harm. Vermiculite, a one-time popular material used for attic insulation, came from a mine known to have asbestos (one of two minds I think where the vermic cam from). The owners closed up shop and let the company take the fall.
Ford chose to pay people out when they die rather than recall their vehicles in the 80's. That's pathetic. That's a corporate decision.
Environmental problems (animal and public health) are another example of how decisions that would not normally be made by an individual are "acceptable" and the people who collectively made said decision are unpunished.
Seriously, if they closed down Exxon Valdez or British Petroleum, do you really think those at the top would go to jail? What about the banks, they get bailed out, no jail time. They managed to convict one guy of a ponzi scheme. No execs at Fanny Mae or Freddie Mac were punished.
That's the problem, it's not just entertainment corps, it's corps in general. Yes, it's a good wait to avoid losing your shirt because of some idiot. But what if the "some idiot" was really the collective idiot consortium that runs said corporation? They SHOULD lose their shirts!
That's why I have such a negative view of corporations. And that doesn't include the impact of tax write-offs like GE and they hire people for $15/hr and say "wow, look at us, we're supporting the economy" when they could have paid $20 (given their tax breaks provided on the promise of hiring workers - who'd likely buy their shit!) and helped the economy.
Michael Moore kinda (wishy-washily) proved corporations (which are legal entities, though puppets really, controlled by the people running them) are psychopaths.
The funny part, that bullshit about creating a legal entity was to protect the honest controllers from the illegal actions of a rogue employee, or so we're told.
Today they all hide behind that, act corrupt, steal, rip consumers off, bribe governments, extort, exploit, and then let the imaginary, brainless entity known as the Corporation, take the fall for it while the people doing the wrong walk away scot-free (please note, that does not mean they walk away free of anyone named Scott).
Bob knows this but he's probably a corporation himself, controlled by bubbles of gas.
Yup, my last company was sinking, so rather than get a new job because said company would not adapt, I am just starving.
Seriously though, people have to look after themselves. YOU are responsible for your career, NO ONE ELSE!
No one owes you ANYTHING, not a career, not payment, nothing. You have to provide a reason to buy! And I buy, lots, because of good reasons (price, supporting the artist, etc...).
You sound, Bob, just as bad as MPAA going on about caterers going under because the studios can't afford to pay them (like they would not go find other clients!).
Your arguments are toilet paper, don't hold water and good for shit!
What about the starving corporat... I mean artists? What about their rights being trampled on by Pirate Mike, his TechDumb minions, and their Google backed Silicon Valley corporate elitist culture killing thieving gang of freetards?
What detrimental harm have they caused to artists? Not just rich people like Lars Ulrich or Bono, but little people like Zoe Keating or Amanda Palmer? What about unknown artists? How ever will they be heard if not through our God channels, the only way to hear anything worthy of being called "cultural"? Will Google's Pirate Mike promote artists while keeping their copyrights locked away, safely, from the public domain?
We all know the public, our bread and butter, need to be told what's good and what's not, where to buy, how much to spend, and what to spend their money on! Food, rent, video games, other forms of entertainment? Bah, that is bullshit, our industry could be 75 billion pounds every month if it not for that pesky Interweb tubes and people's freedom to do as they please with their hard-earned money!
3 Strikes can't harm anyone except our precious artists. That's two strikes Justin Bieber and Chad Kruger lose out on because of the 3 strikes policy. It's only because our politicians only understand baseball. We wanted 1 strike and execution, after taking their assets, liquid or not.
There's no harm to anyone, we're being as fair as we can be while you greedy freetards steal our copies so we no longer have any to sell! Who'd buy our copies and support our old way of doing things if they could get it for free? iTunes proves that! When was the last time you saw iTunes selling $15 billion a month? Exactly!!!
Spare us the bullshit Pirate Mike Masnick! Admit it you work for GoorateBay and all you want is to kill culture by holding copyright laws accountable to their original intentions!
Can you back any of that up with a fact? A link maybe?
How about you call Google, talk to their HR, and confirm that Masnick is an employee, recording the conversation, put it up on YouTube and come here and post the link?
How about you email Bob Dylan or his reps and ask them who owns the copyrights to the Copyright Extended material, then paste portion of their reply to here?
Or better yet, since you know so much, why not ask Bob Dylan to comment here?
Two can play at your game of non-proven "i know" facts:
I know you're a failed musician, because you would not be so bitter otherwise.
I know you're not worth purchasing OR your anger is so great you've turned off a majority of your paying market, who'd rather freely acquire (assuming they do - you don't post at real ID so we just have to guess) than support you (again assuming your music is even available).
I know Bob Dylan is not relevant to the youth of today and is only supported by old farts who can't hear anything and love getting high, listening to Dylan.
I know people go up to Ozzy Ozborne and say they only know him from his TV show, not his musical artistry (true actually - he says it).
I know the industry is not dead, but thriving, and the labels have loads of money in offshore bank accounts and are distracting everyone with the piracy tirade, to hide their true intentions - make all music works for hire, they own everything, nothing ever goes into the public domain.
I know the labels intend to simply steal credit for all work in the public domain, re-release it with a 808 kick drum and call it a house track, so they can copyright it.
I know you're a true coward, you spew adhominem attacks, you spew a stupendous number of logical fallacies, you have no real career in music (probably afraid to try something new - fuck, even Dylan's website store has interesting reasons to buy - like a harmonica approved by Dylan), and have nothing better to do than to bash others because you don't agree but can't back up your views with facts.
Should read - maybe, depends on what he agreed to, and with 100CD's for sale, unless they charge 3000 pounds per CD, he ain't making shit!
He likely is trying to recoup advancements he took for albums he recently released he hoped would sell well, but you can't expect Dylan or Springsteen to connect with 15yr olds.

How does this explain why C is not the best language for operating systems?
According to the article, it was related to known vulnerabilities. How does that prove C was the problem and it was not the best design for an OS?
