Here we come to the argument, again, that what Eee PC users really like is the balance of size, durability and cost. I love having a laptop that is cheap enough that I don't get nervous about leaving in the car, portable enough that I don't debate whether I want to carry it with me, and durable enough that I don't have to keep it cocooned in foam to protect it from casual bumps.
247 relevant comments and rising.. I suspect, yes, the geeks are interested. Not necessarily as interested as they would be in Natalie Portman's hemline, but they are there..
So, Universal, you want me to pay a fee because it's possible I might have some of your music on my iPod? You want me to pay a one time license fee for access to your entire back catalogue, as I find it? Okay!

Only if he specifies -A on the command line -- authentication agent forwarding is disabled by default; any documentation referencing -A and agent forwarding also eplains, in the next paragraph, the peril in using -A with an untrusted host. (Duh)

EiffelStudio Goes Open

Unfortunately, if the world had decided on using Eiffel for everything, it would still be compiling -- the compilers of the day were abysmally slow; more recent compilers have thankfully added incremental compilation.
Since I have a couple different laptops I drag around, and a plethora of task-specific widgets, I prefer using a "European Class Bag, available at most seedy Army/Navy Surplus stores along with equipment-specific sleeves. These bags are tough, versatile and nondescript -- making them ideal for "carrying my expensive geek crap without asking for a mugging."
I consider the lack of specialized pockets and padding to be a bonus -- a laptop sleeve is better protection against the usual bashing involved in putting a laptop on your shoulder and walking around than badly fitted foam batting, and the pockets are never precisely what is needed. There are a couple bulked out pockets that provide plenty of space for extra cables, AC adapters and secondary gizmos.
The canvas is tough, sheds water well, and wears well.
Actually, Forth programmers pride themselves on how few lines they write each day. A favorite Chuck Moore quote:
Another aspect of Forth is analogous to Ziff compression. Where you scan your problem you find a string which appears in several places and you factor it out. You factor out the largest string you can and then smaller strings. And eventually you get whatever it was, the text file, compressed to arguably what is about as tightly compressed as it can be.
No, it's newsworthy that the PHBs are noticing this. If it's in InfoWorld, it might mean when I mention this sort of thing to a client, they are less likely to start in with the "But it won't work on !"
The newspapers that I can commonly find in my area are already simply aggregates of wired news service reports -- with occasionally an extra sidebar written by some hapless freelancer.
Right. Between the Decker drooling on himself in the matrix, and the magically-active drooling himself in astral, part of the run was more baby-sitting than actually doing anything. =)
Slashdot Mirror
Only if the customer was so naive as to use HTTP in the first place.. Oh, I see what you did, there. :)
And then we'd have "Mr. Moore, Tear Down This Colored Wall" rants on Slashdot. There's no pleasing some people. ;)
If a character set from the 60's is the only legacy standard we carry forwards in programming, we're doing pretty good. Look at how axle length of Roman chariots has dominated transportation systems -- http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/390903/how_the_romans_influenced_the_space.html

Here's a nickle -- buy yourself a real text editor with parenthesis highlighting.
That is because the great albatross of legacy EMACS code is written for elisp -- which is dynamically scoped instead of Scheme's lexical scope.
Then they should try using that corporate machine for work purposes and stop trolling Slashdot?
AGC is not only a very up and coming convention, it's also extremely frequent, with only about a month between events..
Why would EA buy a company that does nothing but MMORPGs, just to cancel their projects and kill a profitable asset?
EA isn't dumb, just careless..

There is JScheme, and Kawa.

Wrong again. The grandparent comment is an obvious complaint that Mr. Stallman is mentioned far too many times on Slashdot.
Right. Organize a large enough boycott and they'll pass a law outlawing boycotts.

You can hear the incessant tapping of a vi user's escape key a mile away.
