The Slate Programming Language
An anonymous reader writes "I know that we have had an influx of new programming languages of late, but I feel that this one merits special attention. Theoretical computer scientists and long-time Squeak and LISP contributors Brian Rice and Lee Salzman have been rapidly developing a language called Slate. It draws on the various strengths of the Self, Smalltalk, and LISP languages. To quote from the website: 'Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language based on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk. Slate syntax is intended to be as familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, rather than engaging in divergent experiments in that respect.' The beta release is currently being written in Common LISP."
Can you express the concept of the first post in this language?
You can't have a civil discussion with an atheist. Atheists like to think of themselves as rational, but if you observe their behavior you'll find they
are anything but. They are full of anger and bitterness, and react with frightful outrage whenever they encounter someone with different views from
their own. Even people who think that atheism is a reasonable philosophy must admit that most atheists did not arrive at their point of view through
anything resembling a rational process. Rather, they are poorly socialized individuals who are lashing out angrily at anything which they perceive to be
valued by "mainstream" society. You really shouldn't take it personally. It is the result of an angry and profoundly unhappy psychological condition on
their part, not due to you or your Christian beliefs.
The definition of Troll has morphed over the years. It now primarily means: "opinion I disagree with".
Does it only let you write about a tenth of the program, then let you finish the rest after you've forked over for a subscription or read some ads?

Sod off. Go back to using toggle switches to program machines that output to a row of LEDs.
Give us back our garbage collected OO languages, our GUIs and our multiuser multitasking operating systems and our networking.

Most soldiers are war criminals. In combat you are bound to kill civillians and to drop bombs on cities. sometimes you kill civillians by accident, sometimes you kill them on purpose because you don't want to risk your fellow soldiers lives. Either way it's illegal.
If you finagle your way out of combat by enlisting in the guard and taking a few months off even then then you are not a war criminal.
have you checked out the items for sale on ebay that were taken from iraq? That's called looting. It's illegal. The soldiers selling those items should be arrested but it won't happen.
The real war criminals are people like eisonhower, kennedy, kissinger, nixon and Bush. People in positions of power who pursue war and destruction on flimsy reasons and faulty thinking. They put the soldier between a rock and a hard place and force them commit acts of atrocities.
The best way to support the US war effort is to continue buying American products.
