But what are you trying to say? Because Macs are PC's, the whole distinction is completely artificial. The hardware is the same, they just run a different OS.

As for laptops that are easy...

PC architecture? What the hell...

There are plenty of other laptops that are as light as the macbook air, have the same performance and battery life. Also, the macbook air is comparatively priced...

What? That is about as vague as they come.
What does "Easy of use & Good UI and a highly effective OS for development" even mean..?

Edit:
The 15'' MBPr certainly is a good laptop (I like mine)...

AMD sells their stuff at tiny margins, that is why they won the contracts over intel/nvidia. And they have to because they need the market share. I wouldn't exactly call that a good thing for AMD.

(buffer_size+block_size-1) // block_sizeShould give you what you want.

Modulo can be negative iirc.[/QUOTE]

That is heavily language dependent and a dangerous thing to rely on.[/QUOTE]

Then know when it is or isn't? Modulo is between two positive...

Kommissar Rex is austrian though, be careful you don't end up with some horrible viennese accent ;)

Unless you really are going to use it regularly, don't bother. Languages aren't like muscle memory, in that once you've learned them it will stay with you forever. If you do not actually use it...

Exactly, which is why pascal is a bad language to start with. It does a lot of archaic things, perfect for teaching new programmers bad habits borne from computing limitations from the 70's.
......

Transitioning to another language is easy early on because the basics are the same in all of them. I personally wouldn't choose pascal either, but I don't think it matters much.

And pointers...

I seriously don't understand any of your points.
You think library support is important for beginner course? You think programmers don't need to understand memory management or pointers? Are you...

Do people at work still take you serious with a desktop like that?

I don't see the problem with that course. Didn't look at everything but the few things i saw looked solid, and the topics for the lessons and their order makes a lot of sense. Also, its completely...

Array indexes start at 0 and go out to size-1. You are going one beyond its size, so you are in memory that you don't have access too (you are out of your segment/page, so you get a segmentation...

Yes, PC sales are falling because of windows 8, if only Microsoft had stuck with Windows 7...
...

I imagine that doing-nothing-more-than-98 took a whole lot of effort to develop!

Microsoft and Windows have had a pretty poor brand image as far back as I can remember (and that is a lot further than Windows ME). I honestly don't think ME had much of an impact on it.

Metro...

I honestly couldn't say, but would you argue it wasn't a failure? It only lasted a year before being replaced and was widely criticised.[/QUOTE]

It was always meant to be replaced soon. It was...

ME was a misstep? Really? How much do you think it has hurt Microsoft?

There are still quite a few problems with this code.

First of all, try to name your variables and functions better, it makes the code a lot more readable. Ideally you need to know what a variable...

There is not much difference period. Do you think resellers/carriers just hoard phones for fun? Inventory is expensive as hell and everybody desperately tries to minimize it.

Well, I think its important to know the basics. C teaches you a lot about memory management and low level stuff. C++ makes it a lot easier and adds a lot of syntactic sugar, but its still important...

I don't even use Safari on OSX :([/QUOTE]

You should, its hands down the best desktop browser available (if you use a touchpad).

Reichsgesangswettbewerb then.
