So they are Borlands specific .lib type libraries?-Stoic Joker (August 01, 2011, 03:17 PM)
My options were to either finger the thing or try talking to it.-Stoic Joker (August 01, 2011, 07:04 AM)
Ummm... did you buy it dinner first?-wraith808 (August 01, 2011, 11:55 AM)
Nope, went straight for a quicky and ended up frustrating both of us. But is ain't my fault the moody bitch wasn't ready on command.
(...too far?)

I don't recall C++ ever needing additional files, unless it's an MFC app (which I never use).
While I'm not sure about the Delphi part, I have seen several mainstream production applications (like Sage BusinessWorks) that were created using Borland's (CBuilder) IDE that insisted on dumping a ton of .bpl files in the system32 folder.
But it's my understanding that these .bpl (Break Point Library) files are only used for debugging and should never under any circumstances be used/required by release version production software. So this would be a developer boo boo as I understand it.-Stoic Joker (August 01, 2011, 11:45 AM)

Well here's something Android has that iWhatever doesn't...
Sentience!
(I know it's on a Motorola phone, not a tablet device, but it's entertaining nonetheless...)

It's the C++/Delphi crowd that scares me. Installing things into system folders and all that...-Renegade (August 01, 2011, 09:20 AM)
Your purposeful *Le Click*2 on the main checkbox has been accepted.
This dialog box is meaningless now.

Hmmm... maybe something needs to be registered (which VS would do automatically for me). I'll try on my other computer, but if you want to try those same lines, it's an idea.-wraith808 (July 31, 2011, 07:06 AM)
I've got VS 2010 on here, and the 2005/8/10 VC++ runtimes. So I don't know what's breaking.
When I saw the 80 or so compile errors, I gave up.-Renegade (July 31, 2011, 07:10 AM)
This was one of the USP's of Delphi, back in the days. Throw together a UI working with the 'customer', add some (semi)working code, and give a nice demo.-Ath (July 29, 2011, 05:11 AM)
That situation wraith is exactly Apples game. Their software distribution ties developers hands and locks you into Apples platform.-Eóin (July 29, 2011, 11:51 AM)
I like my ipad, it's ok. But it lacks so much in the way of configurability, even jailbroken. Android is better in that respect, but still, my problem is that all my stuff is on Windows, and it would just be super duper convenient if the OS on the tablet was Windows also. It's not that it's better, it's just that I need that low level compatibility so I can deal with my files, folders, and favorite software without any middlemen or hacks to bridge the gap.-superboyac (July 28, 2011, 05:52 PM)
In fairness, I don't think an arthritic southpaw is real close to the baseline they (or anybody else) targeted. So if one got used to it (and vise-versa...) I could see it being quite handy. Not sure where to put the stylus...but it's not that difficult to finger in a pinch.-Stoic Joker (July 28, 2011, 04:01 PM)
It comes with Windows 7 Professional, which struck me as quite odd. As I thought they were more of a home edition/user type of device.-Stoic Joker (July 28, 2011, 01:33 PM)
Asus Padfone: (phone+tablet)

That looks decently interesting and similar to the one from AT&T. But more interesting is the attractive woman with stickers directly on her artfully exposed flesh (?)-wraith808 (July 28, 2011, 07:54 AM)
The pictures indicate that the tablet can be used independently from the phone. So what does putting the phone into the tablet give you?-phitsc (July 28, 2011, 10:21 AM)
A larger interface and more real-estate, I'd guess. Sort of like the Motorola ATRIX, the first that had me looking at possibly ditching my iPhone. In my dream world, you'd have one device and several bodies for it, to let you always carry the guts of the device with you, and consume it in multiple ways.-wraith808 (July 28, 2011, 10:55 AM)

Two documentaries about the financial state of the US:

Those two sites are anyway good places to get (properly) informed about whatever tickles your fancy.-Shades (July 28, 2011, 08:27 AM)
