<0> and you should never change them by hand. Always let the computer generate a new if you want to change them
<1> thats what i THOUGHT i did
<1> by using the CTRL+SHIFT+G in the codeeditor
<1> generated new ones
<2> Does anyone happen to know anything about the expense of using the + operator for string concatenation?
<1> i copypasted those
<3> Vibes, Result := ''; {initialize} while Loop do Result := Result + Something; {realloc on each iteration}
<3> is it what you mean?
<2> Yeah, that kind of thing... In C# there's a stringbuilder cl*** that makes for much more efficient concatenations. I wonder if there's a need for such a thing in Delphi.
<0> Vibes: This is yours, right? http://code.google.com/p/castaliadelphiparser/ Thanks for the source. I was looking for a free delphi parser when I found it
<4> Delphi is in need of lots
<4> there's TStringStream
<4> maybe that could help?
<0> or use SetLength to allocate enough memory at the start. Then it's not reallocated on each iteratation
<2> Help says the + operator is faster than the concat function.
<4> lord: yes, but how much? :)
<2> LordLarry: That ***umes you know how much to begin with.
<0> true, but you could also allocate in bigger chunks then just enough each time
<0> I presume that is also how the TStringStream works
<0> StringBuilder works like a list of seperate strings IIRC
<5> anyone here using Firebird 2.0 yet?
<2> Eew. Saddam's half brother was executed today, and his head severed from his body during the hanging.
<4> indeed
<4> and it was videod
<4> again
<2> I actually think the videoing is a good thing. I don't think the videos need necessarily be released publically, but having documentation of exactly what was done is probably a good move.
<6> they might as well set up a executionTube.iq
<4> heh
<4> executions.tv would be better
<4> I liked it in Starship Troopers when the executions were held on all channels on all networks
<4> :)
<7> are there any relatives of Saddam left now?
<4> his wife and daughters
<7> but no males?
<2> LordLarry: (Reading backsroll) Yes, that's mine.
<4> not sure, if there are i doubt they'll be coming forward
<4> :)
<8> wtf
<8> his head came off?
<8> was he one fat ****er or something?
<4> nah prolly just old and weak
<9> Can happen to almost anyone. That's the problem with hanging.
<9> Sometimes you decapitate them, sometimes you break their neck, sometimes they just hang there and kick a bit while suffocating
<4> yeh
<4> not pleasant
<4> :/
<4> i'd hope my neck snaps
<4> depends how good the hangers are
<9> That's the way its supposed to work.
<9> But, yeah. Not always.
<10> the knot is supposed to be designed to break your neck.
<4> Depends if the hangers do it right
<9> Too many variables. Doesn't always quite work out that way
<4> if they dont like Drk says u hang there
<8> i guess they got the drop too long
<8> i have to say id rather be beheaded
<8> with an axe
<4> Firing squad would be painful but quick
<8> or sword
<9> Skvasitch: That can be pretty crappy too if the headsman ****s.
<9> Couple of chops, with you laying there going "ow, damnit, stop it"
<8> Drk`Angel yeah- would have to be good
<4> and islamic beheading isnt like medieval beheading
<10> in the western world... a counterweight was added ... so when you hit bottom... it was released and gave you a jerk ... this was considered a humane improvement.
<8> one clean chop would mean instant drop in brain's blood pressure and unconciousness
<3> and 12 minutes btw
<8> Blade^ saudi beheadings look pretty human
<8> humane
<10> queen anne took a number of whacks before her head came completely off.
<9> Crappy headsman, or a dull blade.
<9> or both
<2> A hanging that doesn't break your neck wouldn't be quite the same as plan suffocation.
<4> no it'd be far worse prolly
<2> ...Because it would also put considerable pressure on the corotid artery. You would lose consciousness from that before the suffocation.
<10> guillotine is good.
<2> Yes, I think having one's head quickly removed would be the way to go.
<2> ...Or something that just obliterates the body. Ground zero in a nuclear explosion would work.
<4> i wonder if u feel it bite just before u die
<9> Worst part about it is its too easy to use. easy to do ***embly line executions. See: French Revolution.
<2> It's hard to feel pain when you're vaporised.
<11> and best of all. it could be very quickly reset so as to not keep people waiting to die waiting too long.
<4> Vibes: a Phaser set to Level 7
<4> :D
<2> Blade^: Sure, why not?\
<2> OK, time to go make some strawberry mousse for tonight... bbl.
<12> bk.
<7> ne1 here making a living off shareware apps written in delphi?
<13> many have tried....very few have succeeded
<6> he failed.
<13> do you write shareware?
<12> cmf writes shareware.
<14> you say it like its harder to sell shareware written in Delphi than i.e C#
<15> no, I'm just trying to see if its a feasible way to make money
<13> odds are against you.
<15> would it matter what it was written in?
<12> selling shareware is pretty much the same in every language :)
<13> no
<14> exactly
<12> except say, Lisp
<15> the only thing I could see that could be a problem is if you have to force the user to have .net framework
<13> only if you write in .NET
<15> but these days that's less of an obstacle
<15> yep, exactly
<14> which you don't need with Delphi so that's a plus
<15> I'm thinking of doing a couple of small apps in D7 w32
<6> well java and the JREs is a bitch also
<13> don't quite your day job.
<15> I don't have one
<12> hehe
<14> if you have a great idea and concept its possible but not very likely
<14> (to make a living)
<12> ideas don't sell
<15> gotcha
<12> marketing does.
<13> and support.
<15> I'll do support on a forum thing
<16> well with the turbo the tools are pretty much free to do it
<14> ki9a: yes and no
<15> but I don't want to create anything that needs much support
<16> so give it a go i'd say
<13> hahahahah
<16> :P
<12> heh
<12> he's funny.
<14> ki9a: if you code a handy utility that many uses then alot will pay for it (mirc, flashfxp, total commander and so forth)
<16> you can make more money from support then frmo selling the app
<13> there are a lot of easier ways to make a livng.
<15> yep, but I don't want to have to keep spending my time over and over to make money
<15> life is too short
<12> moonlord: mirc does require support
<12> so do all others
<14> but i don't think Mr.Ghisler is getting rich from TC
<12> and mirc WAS marketed
<14> yes
<12> and he just was at the right place at the right tim
<15> ki9a: you are right about the marketing
<6> well atleast we know flashfxp is delphi :P (hey bigstar!)
<14> mirc was delphi at one point afaik
<12> bigstar still idling here ?
<15> isn't skype written in Delphi?
<3> moonlord, never, MFC
<14> hmmz
<17> bigstar, can i have a free license? :P
<12> skype isn't shareware.
<15> right
<6> <3 flashfxp
<11> I wonder if my old employer would license a replacement for their software :-)
<11> I begged them to let me rewrite their software in delphi.
<11> they refused.
<12> DaynaGirl: if I were you, I'd make sure to never talk to them again
