15:04.14michaelnovakjrwhat's up Dougie187
15:04.43Dougie187not too much
15:04.44Dougie187you?
15:06.38michaelnovakjreh, working with visual studio for the first time in quite a few years
15:07.09Dougie187heh
15:07.14Dougie187why not just use eclipse?
15:07.25michaelnovakjri hate eclipse
15:07.59Dougie187but you like visual studio?
15:08.13michaelnovakjrits not the worst thing in the world
15:08.24michaelnovakjri'm just having a pain in the ass linker error
15:09.15michaelnovakjran undefined symbol that is defined just a few lines up :)
15:09.43Dougie187lol.
15:10.44Dougie187i start my job on monday.
15:10.48michaelnovakjrthe only thing i can think of is that its used in a #define, but declared as an extern unsigned char
15:10.50michaelnovakjrnice
15:11.09michaelnovakjrbut then i remember ::linker:: which means its been compiled :)
15:11.21Dougie187lol
15:11.40Dougie187i take it your using c?
15:11.43michaelnovakjryep
15:11.57Dougie187are you trying to use visual studio's debugger?
15:12.24alex2308uhm
15:12.34alex2308you talking about VS and C in here?
15:12.40Dougie187right now yes.
15:12.41alex2308i thought android is eclipse/java
15:12.57Dougie187later we will be discussion various cheeses, and their applications on toast as crackers.
15:13.09Dougie187android rarely gets discussed in here now-a-days
15:13.09michaelnovakjralex2308: if you haven't noticed android has nothing going on right no
15:13.11alex2308printf("nm. i dont care");
15:13.27michaelnovakjrwithout a new sdk no one is writing software for android
15:13.30alex2308im working on my first android app :)
15:13.35Dougie187just look out.
15:13.41Dougie187its going to be out dated in a little while
15:13.45Dougie187you will have to re-write it.
15:13.49michaelnovakjrbecause when the new sdk comes you'll be rewriting it :)
15:13.51alex2308i hope not too much
15:14.02michaelnovakjrsignificantly out-dated
15:14.11Dougie187well, we dont actually know how much, but according to what we have read it will be quite a bit.
15:14.13Dougie187if not all of it.
15:14.17jastayawn
15:14.19michaelnovakjrhence why i am working on C code :)
15:14.25Dougie187they are changing it from java to c++
15:14.27Dougie187and then for F90
15:14.31michaelnovakjrhaha
15:14.31Dougie187then to*
15:14.43Dougie187i bet jasta would enjoy that.
15:14.43michaelnovakjrna, but really... its going to be quite out-dated
15:14.46Dougie187if they did F90
15:14.52jastawhat's F90?
15:14.58Dougie187android?
15:15.03jastahuh?
15:15.06Dougie187or do you mean literally what is f90?
15:15.08alex2308i'd do iphone apps, if i'd like apple
15:15.15jastaoh Fortran
15:15.17Dougie187yeah
15:15.19Dougie187fortran 90.
15:15.20jastadude, that was way before my time ;)
15:15.23Dougie187lol
15:15.25*** join/#android zhobbs_ (n=zach@mail.guardianmfg.com)
15:15.29Dougie187what about F2003?
15:15.31Dougie187or F77/.
15:15.35Dougie187dont you know either of those?
15:15.40jastaof course not
15:15.42Dougie187hah
15:15.46Dougie187i know F77
15:15.53Dougie187and F90, though i know F77 better then F90
15:15.58Dougie187stupid modules.
15:16.01jastaC was basically my first language
15:16.06Dougie187that was mine too.
15:16.08Dougie187and then Java
15:16.09Dougie187and then C++
15:16.12Dougie187and then F77
15:16.14Dougie187and then F90
15:16.15Dougie187lol
15:16.28alex2308pascal was mine
15:16.29alex2308no, wait
15:16.31jastai learned BASIC first, but that was just a phase ;)
15:16.32alex2308qbasic!
15:16.41michaelnovakjri didn't bother with basic
15:17.12alex2308http://youtube.com/watch?v=Mal6XbN5cEg
15:17.14Dougie187we took this class on OOP. and we had to read these articles on the languages and their benefits, then we got to the section of doing OOP with F90, and it basically said "Don't Do it, this language is complete garbage"
15:17.21alex2308pretty qbasic song
15:17.30michaelnovakjrDougie187: why go through fortran after learning C++?
15:17.44Dougie187because a lot of scientists have legacy code in F77
15:17.48michaelnovakjrah
15:17.49Dougie187so we have to learn it so we can read it.
15:17.51michaelnovakjrgood point
15:18.22michaelnovakjri'm going to kill this linker error if its the last thing i do
15:18.27Dougie187lol
15:18.27michaelnovakjr(probably will be)
15:20.05Dougie187you should... not use visual studio.
15:20.30Dougie187i got irritated with it when it wasnt compatible with gcc.
15:21.50michaelnovakjrits a windows project
15:21.59Dougie187i guess, when i found out that it wasnt compatible with gcc.
15:22.00Dougie187lol
15:22.04michaelnovakjrit doesn't use GNU C
15:22.08Dougie187wlel.
15:22.10Dougie187well.
15:22.11Dougie187windows sucks.
15:22.13Dougie187so ha.
15:22.15jastayeah, isnt that obvious to you? :)
15:22.22Dougie187nope.
15:22.37michaelnovakjrnot having GNU C isn't too much of a hurdle
15:23.07michaelnovakjrit still has standard c ::cough:: ::cough::
15:23.21jastaactually, it doesn't.
15:23.27jastait violates the standard heavily
15:23.35michaelnovakjrhence the coughing
15:23.51Dougie187lol your coughing to the wrong group of people michaelnovakjr.
15:23.53jastaespecially, it is incompatible with C99, implementing functionality that it has but with different semantics
15:23.55michaelnovakjrhaha
15:23.56Dougie187we can hear right through your cough.
15:23.59jastaand microsoft doesnt intend to ever fix it
15:24.08michaelnovakjryea, i love that
15:24.22Dougie187i have to sign an NDA for my work.
15:24.23Dougie187lol
15:24.31jastai was having this conversation just the other day...
15:24.34michaelnovakjri have an extern unsigned char that is used in a compiler define and the linker is throwing an unresolved symbol error
15:24.52jastai think we're entering an age here where folks can imagine a world without Microsoft.
15:25.00anno^dahaha android got ported to the n810 now easier to install
15:25.04Dougie187<----- this guy can.
15:25.13michaelnovakjr<---------- this guy too
15:25.21Dougie187you can buy an N810 for $360 on buy.com right now.
15:25.25jastai mean truly, not just for yourself personally.
15:25.42anno^daDougie187: and send it to germany :D
15:25.49jastapeople are starting to see how Microsoft's offerings are not as compelling and necessary as they once were
15:26.01jastathe last big hurdle, i think, is Outlook and Exchange.
15:26.03michaelnovakjrbecause people have better alternatives now
15:26.10michaelnovakjrjasta, zimbra!!
15:26.11anno^daNo it has no gsm hardware so it is not really interesting
15:26.14Dougie187i wish we would get better thing like one note.
15:26.28Dougie187not that i need it anymore.
15:26.41Dougie187but onenote is seriously like the coolest thing they have ever made...
15:26.55michaelnovakjri thought internet explorer was?
15:26.59Dougie187...
15:27.04Dougie187i should shoot you.
15:27.04michaelnovakjr=)
15:27.13Dougie187you sound like my dad.
15:27.20michaelnovakjri saw the opportunity and took it
15:27.23michaelnovakjr:)
15:27.27michaelnovakjri hate IE with a passion
15:27.33Dougie187hah, i was thinking the other day about technology, and how it changes over the years.
15:27.47Dougie187and how when i was little i use to think my dad and granddad knew everything about computers.
15:27.54michaelnovakjri love the concept of "super standards mode" when its really just the standards they have chosen to ignore
15:27.59Dougie187and then maybe a month ago my dad was looking for backup software like ghost. and so he went shopping.
15:28.21Dougie187and he chose the software based on which one had the highest version, and which one had a sticker saying "Best of..." on it.
15:28.30Dougie187then hes like, you know it has to be good, they have gone through 10 versions!
15:29.11Dougie187that was when i knew he didnt know anything about computers.
15:29.25Dougie187and when he had to ask my mom (computer moron) to set the jumpers right on his harddrive.
15:29.37michaelnovakjrhaha
15:30.19Dougie187brb

15:31.08anno^daYeah but thats nothing new
15:31.42anno^daEvery big company has thousands and thousands of little, less paid, not very interesting jobs
15:32.48michaelnovakjrthey also mention programmers at the bottom
15:34.06anno^daand the lack of carreer developement depends on what goals you have for the future.
15:34.20michaelnovakjrnot necessarily
15:34.25anno^daThe job is not everything I would say but thats just my point.

15:37.03anno^daYeah ok thats an argument.
15:40.16Dougie187i have returned.
15:40.31Dougie187so michaelnovakjr did you have a moment when you found out your parents knew nothing about technology?
15:40.50michaelnovakjrwhen they bought a compaq
15:40.54Dougie187hah
15:41.12Dougie187i like when they try to advise me what laptop to buy
15:41.28Dougie187and they are like, "you shouldn't spend $1000 on a laptop when you can get one for $400!"
15:41.38Dougie187but they dont know the difference in the laptops, or what i need with a laptop.
15:41.39romainguyI disagree :)
15:41.51Dougie187lol to what?
15:41.58Dougie187or with what i should say.
15:42.00michaelnovakjrthe article probable
15:42.02romainguy$1000 to $400
15:42.03michaelnovakjry
15:42.06michaelnovakjrah
15:42.10Dougie187oh yeah, i disagree with that too.
15:42.13romainguyin my experience, expensive laptops are much better :)
15:42.15michaelnovakjri'd say spend a thousand
15:42.30romainguyI'd rather buy an expensive laptop every three years than change a cheap one every year :p
15:42.44Dougie187the $400 laptop has little to no L2 cache, the processor is probably a single core 2 ghz. hdd is probably 4200rpm with like 60 gigs.
15:43.02Dougie187it depends on your use though.
15:43.04michaelnovakjri killed the damn error!!!!!
15:43.14Dougie187if you just browse the web all the time, it doesnt matter about any of that stuff.
15:43.32jastaromainguy: i buy in the $1000 ballpark and replace it every 2 years.
15:43.36michaelnovakjrapparently with the VS C compiler you have to declare a variable locally before using extern on it
15:43.45jastaand it has served me great
15:43.50Dougie187thats because VS blows michaelnovakjr.
15:43.54michaelnovakjr:)
15:44.04Dougie187this laptop cost me $1400 3 years ago.
15:44.07Dougie187and its been working great so far.
15:44.34Dougie187im looking more for a nice portable performance laptop now.
15:44.40Dougie187because i program a lot more then i use to.
15:44.55Dougie187i use to just play games and take notes with my laptop, which is why i got a tablet.
15:44.57michaelnovakjrme too
15:45.07Dougie187granted, right now all im doing is playing games.
15:45.11Dougie187but come the end of august.
15:45.12michaelnovakjri like the 13" xps
15:45.16jastai typically don't go for portability
15:45.19Dougie187yeah its pretty sweet
15:45.20jastai prefer large screen size
15:45.25Dougie187im going more for performance then portablilty.
15:45.28michaelnovakjri priced it at $1400
15:45.36Dougie187but im gonna get a 14.1" thinkpad r61
15:45.44tethridgedells seem to get really flimsy as they age
15:45.47michaelnovakjrDougie187: how much are those going for?
15:45.49yakischloba*yawn*
15:45.56tethridgethe thinkpad would be my choice
15:46.01Dougie187i think i priced my ideal one at about 800-900
15:46.07tethridgevery strudy
15:46.08Dougie187thats with discrete graphics too
15:46.15tethridgesturdy
15:46.29yakischlobaI'm getting tired of working on a laptop all day :(
15:46.39tethridgefor a thinkpad or an ideapad?
15:46.44Dougie187for a thinkpad.
15:46.52Dougie187ideapads are like 1500 - 1800
15:46.52michaelnovakjrthat is a good price...?
15:46.59Dougie187something ridiculous.
15:47.00tethridgeyou can get it preinstalled with linux and save a few bucks
15:47.05michaelnovakjrany thinkpad i priced is way over 900
15:47.07Dougie187not with a discrete graphics card.
15:47.32Dougie187afaik you can't get a thinkpad with linux and discrete graphics.
15:47.38Dougie187it might be cheaper come the 6th.

15:48.16tethridgeit's a t42
15:48.22Dougie187i might spend a bit more on it though.
15:48.25michaelnovakjra bit newer
15:48.27Dougie187for the extra cache.
15:48.33michaelnovakjrmine is a pentium m 2.0

15:51.12Dougie187or MBA
15:51.54Dougie187i have a friend who has a MBA
15:52.00Dougie187i dont like them much though.
15:52.14Dougie187he said the remote cd thing is a pain in the ass
15:52.18Dougie187but he almost never has to use it.
15:53.37michaelnovakjrDougie187: you price thinkpads through ibm?

17:39.39jastathat's good, i think you're gonna find a lot of folks implementing other languages, targeting the dalvik bytecode.
17:39.48jastaso that access to the UI framework is natively available
17:39.51morrildljasta: yes, please!
17:40.05jastai saw a post some time ago from Miguel about porting Mono even.
17:40.54muthuyeah, porting from existing mobile applications to dalvik would be happening
17:41.48muthujasta: what if we have a programming language for mobile?
17:41.53muthuwouldn't it be cool?
17:42.23jastamuthu: you mean a programming language particular to mobile phones?  that doesn't seem necessary, although it seems to be what davidw is working on with Hecl
17:43.34muthujasta: right, a common language for all mobiles
17:44.19muthumay be its android :))

17:47.47muthuok, android the platform and java the language
17:48.20jastastill, i doubt android would become so common.  the mobile industry is unlikely to unify at any point in the near future.
17:48.32muthuyeah, that's frustrating
17:48.32jastathe PC and server markets are much older, and still are not well unified.
17:49.06jastamobile phones moving toward Java development as a common paradigm would be nice, though.
17:49.42muthusome common development platform
17:50.47zhobbs_I've always dreamed of a world with common platform/standard for EVERYTHING...but in reality that might slow inovation
17:51.11muthuzhobbs_: not necessarily
17:51.34zhobbs_firewire makes usb faster, etc
17:52.03zhobbs_OS X makes windows better
17:53.14zhobbs_and now android will make iphone/symbian better
17:53.16muthumay be one common development platform.. but different vendor adapters
17:53.29muthuzhobbs_: haha.. yeah iphone has gps now!
17:53.31jastamuthu: that makes it not a common platform.
17:53.57muthujasta: may be you should create one :)
17:54.09zhobbs_muthu: yeah, gps, 3g and an sdk
17:54.24zhobbs_wonder if the sdk would have happened as fast if android never came out
17:54.56muthui believe its all the android effect..
17:55.02muthusymbian foundation for example
17:55.44zhobbs_the 2 linux phone orgs merged too
17:56.40muthuandroid has done a smart thing.. by not doing a gphone
17:57.09muthumay be everyone will adopt it
17:57.23zhobbs_I agree...one of those android guys had an editorial saying the opposite...I think he's way off
17:58.01muthuhope android can force the others (oem's and carriers) to change their game
17:59.45muthui'm waiting for the android for iphone hack ;)
18:00.44zhobbs_it's funny, everytime I see a GUI anywhere (PoS, cable box) I think, man I would write that using android

18:54.46yakischlobathe same people that do things like pay 30 extra dollars a month for the novelty of low-res televesion on their phones

18:54.50michaelnovakjrzhobbs: yes, with more than one product
18:55.24zhobbs_if you have the killer social cell phone app and it really caught on you win...but that'll be 1 in a 1E6

20:50.57jastasort of, but not officially, not stable, and not featureful
20:51.27jastai recommend thaty ou wait until the end of this year, when the handsets will be launched officially
20:51.33mncomat the moment we only have a emulator to try?
20:51.40jastabasically, yes.
20:51.52jastathe point of the emulator is not to "try" android.
20:52.02michaelnovakjri <3 the emulator  :)
20:52.30jastait is to develop for it.  if you are not a developer or an experienced linux kernel hacker, you've nothing useful to be doing until handsets launch at the end of the year.
20:52.53mncomyes, i'm trying a SDK
20:53.16jastado realize that the current SDK is pretty old.  5 months old, to be exact.
20:53.48jastait is presently unknown when a follow-up release will be made, but many of us fear it is not "soon"
20:53.59f00f-yeah it'll be soon

20:54.31Dougie187soon would be a week or two
20:54.34jastaif anything less than a month before handset launch, it isn't soon at all.
20:54.49f00f-dont worry it'll be soon by your def then
