For a language to be useful for many tasks, it really needs good regular expression support.
Not just for the RE stuff mind you, but I'd look to PERL as an example of a number of good programming language design practices in action. I especially like perl's ease of extensibilty. There are so many modules out there it boggles the mind:)
Hey I saw that History Channel program too!:) But I thought they said none of the P-80s ever flew in combat in Europe or in the Pacific. Actually, if I recall correctly, they had send the P-80s to Europe after the war strictly as a show of force.
You obviously haven't gotten out much have you? Here is some advice from a total stranger:
Get the hell out of the US! Look around. And then on your way back in, you'll notice how much of a joke customs can be.

Wow thank you for sharing your extensive knowledge of gay porno movie titles with us.
you obviously were not watching it in the correct frame of mind (or alternatively, without taking a mind altering substance or two).
Have a beer or ten... or perhaps a bit o weed... or some fungus... and try again. You'll like it. Especially that part with 10 minutes of flashing color and the fetus.
I assume that your problem is that you are "beginning with the classical rocket equation".
1. if this works, I seriously doubt you can use an unmodified delta v equation... theres gotta be some other interactive element. Otherwise, this wouldn't be a new idea. Its like saying quantum mechanics won't work because it doesn't fit with newtonian physics.
2. I assume these people have their head far enough out of their @$$3$ to realize that.
Now we just have to take into account the fact that it was published in the New Scientist... and
then we can ignore it all and go back to sleep.
in other words, you're probably right, but you have some very flawed logic.
"hack of your testicles and carve out your ovaries"
I don't know about you my friend, but the vast majority of the population typically has a set of one or the other... or are you one a them unisex Martians?!
Posting to your own self prepetuating ego, that is sad.
I'm not a troll, I'm flaming you. Why you ask? I think your problem is not what you have to say, but how you say it... a bit more of the interesting stuff: fact, and a little less ego, ok?
With all the stock options that were thown at people, it seems like a dumb question. For geeks in general, the Tech rise has been like a dream... was it better or worse? As if we even need to think about it! Of course its been better!
And they were wrong. They took the PC and they were wrong. It sounds like the FBI were the criminals who stole an innocent individual's computer.
Fucking sheep. (possible troll) But still, half the stuff I've read here pretty much assumes the author was innocent. Not to mention assuming that the Feds are "Evil". Think for yourselves people, this isn't enemy of the state, its not 1984. Sure there are cases where the Feds and other law enforcement overstep their bounds, but that doesn't mean it happens all the time.
If anything, for those cases when law enforcement breaks the Law, we should be asking them to make sure that THEY understand the Law, and that THEY are not above the Law... how can they expect to enforce it if they dont follow it?
Yay! yet another dated article (1998)... sure it looks interesting, but where's the update after 2 years? I love it when people get excited over vapor. I could just as well put up a few "technical" drawings of my magic flying saucer and post it to slashdot a few years from now... hm... not a bad idea!
is this really news for nerds? stuff that matters?
Granted it wasn't for the PC... but the first kewl star trek game had to be Appletrek. Anyone remember that? 8x8 grid of star bases and klingons. Gotta love it:)

I thought I read something about this in a popular science article (maybe pop mech?) and I believe it was a matter of making objects seem invisible from one direction using plain fiber optical cable to bend light.
Is trust built on experience any less valuable than trust built on formal methods
An excellent point. It seems as though many of the other threads grasp at this concept without saying it explicitly. In the case of OSS we have people constantly using viewable code. With so many coders making use of said code day in and day out, if something is wrong, it is eventually found and fixed. The proof of reliability can be found in the number of people who have used the code without problems.
Um. I wasn't around back then. But I'm pretty sure that it was a very American thing when we stepped on Luna. Maybe Neil should have said: One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, one big F***you to the USSR. Cause thats what Apollo was all about after all right?
But I agree with pretty much everything else you said. I'd really be interested in taking part in more public efforts support the space program. It would be nice I we could add a general questionaire to say voting ballots: ie: Do you think more funding should go to X?
And really put it the American people. Granted some won't like what the American people have to say. Maybe that's why it hasn't been done? Or has it?

Is this news for nerds? or is this "hey we want to be market analysts"?
definately porn
if only I had mod points to give you.

nanpa - (v). Slang. The action of a guy picking up on a girl
and yes there is a disctinction in male -> female vs. female -> male. The later case is gyaku nanpa or "reverse pickup".

So the big Q becomes... are you satisfied with what you accomplished? ... Doctor? ;)

How was that book? (Do Androids dream of electric sheep) Have always been meaning to read it.
