Most EDA vendors still do not feature an IDE for SystemVerilog and the one solution I found that is close enough is the DVT plugin for Eclipse. (www.dvteclipse.com)

It's got the kind of things you'd expect if you have used Eclipse for Java, from the syntax highlighting to context-sensitive auto-complete (well sorta, it still forgets where it is sometimes).
The product is still in development stage and does not correctly recognize all the SystemVerilog keywords just yet.

But it is looking good, especially compared to nothing.

I'm so tired...

Feeling: tired

but this still sounds like over-engineering for an MP3-like device.

I know that the law provides the police with the rights to issue a warrant of arrest, but I hardly doubt it is necessary in this case.
Even if Thanarajah has not given a statement, one could have chosen to be more understanding.

To me, this just sounds like intimidation.
Have some decency and respect for yourself (and the post you hold) so that others may respect you as well.

Quote
DCP Khalid was clarifying his statement earlier yesterday that police were considering issuing an arrest warrant against Thanarajah if he failed to give a statement on his claim.

He had told reporters that he had ordered for a notice to be issued to Thanarajah under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code, to compel him to provide his statement on what had happened, failing which the police might issue a warrant of arrest.

Public Works Department refuses to send the report on the landslide at Bukit Antarabangsa to the state government as promised.

Sounds like something very fishy going on.

Today's headlines brings positive emotions for a change.

Housemans on active calls now get the next day off, effective immediately says the Health Minister. After working for 36hrs straight, anyone deserves a rest day if you ask me. Why it ever happened otherwise is beyond my comprehension but I'm glad we're fixing it.

I don't know about you but I'm a heck of a lazy bum when it comes to paperwork. Give me email or online access, I'll do it anytime... but when it comes to paper, oh lord, things move slower than the expansion of the universe.

Even with the now default 8% EPF contribution, it took two emails, an admin to help me submit the form and a final reminder to get me going on the forms. I want to put my 11%, but nevermind why they defaulted to 8%.

And here the government defaults the new leave to 30 days and allow an option for people to choose a reduced leave scheme of 25 days. WTF!!! Who would go the extra trouble just to get their leave reduced? And it's 5 days, is it even worth the effort? LAME!

"He got it coming" was my first thought when the ex-prime had to evacuate the Putrajaya building due to a leaking roof. I wonder if that even affects him, if he was ashamed by his once ambitious project.

Then again, I'm beginning to doubt if he wanted to make a legacy (or profit) now that I know the government is merely renting Putrajaya for an obnoxious amount in a 25-year contract.
