It's one of the great challenges in life. You rile up enough people for a cause, get them to pour their hearts out, and actually manages to accomplish something. Hooray!!
But now that's done, they should get back to their own lives, but the bastards just loiter around and wouldn't get off my lawn!
That's mostly issues with some continentals (French, Belgium, Germans, etc.), but not so much with the Brits, in my not-so-extensive experiences. Besides, Americans can be loud, but we are not pushy generally. God knows our reputation has nothing on that of British tourists.
I rather like British Airways, but the problem is most of their flight go through Heathrow, which is a non-issue for the story submitter who's actually going to London. They had their issue with luggage sorting when the new Terminal 5 was opened, but I think that was sorted out by now.
Whatever you do, and it pains me to say this, do not fly an American major (United, Delta, AA) unless you're into masochism.
I've gotten to use Python in the last couple of years - it's concise, expressive, whole lot less verbose (compared to Java, C) but bit problematic when trying for tighter design with bigger scopes.
What are the pluses/minuses of Ruby compared to Python? Has it dumped all its Perlism now? (I looked at Ruby briefly years back).
Well, you know, it is a fiction. But the one thing that I can't stand is that always sunglass-wearing douchebag in CSI: Miami, David something. That dude busts the douchemeter with one sight across a football field.
Slashdot Mirror
BAH! Everyone heard/read of it, very few actually reads it.
Hell NO, fascist. Too cold up there.
Mr. Hippie to you, you fascist!
Not a particularly useful question. Does it make a difference if we ended up with a Stalin instead of a Hitler? Work with me, this is an analogy.
X fecce is awesome. Crap name though.
Dude, what's "bullshit" in English unit?
Some of that is in the retail space, but I agree there are other sectors with rigorous competition. I'd better cut down on my intake of slashdot.

I'm lost. And then what?
"Writing with locks and heavyweight threads and mutating objects everywhere sounds like a nightmare to me."
Past the simplest trivial scenario, it is a nightmare. But asynchronous message-passing scheme works reasonably well.
I don't know of any widely used multi-threaded GUI kit.
It feels as if the retail sector is the only marketplace in America with vigorous competition. Have we finally become England?

We can always try sticking a tube to Congress and use the hot air to drive the compressor. Use two tubes and we will have twin-turbo.
Does it involve an electric middle stage? If so, electric energy storage would be more efficient, I'm guesssing?
How would you compress the air in the first place?
Hm... does SciFi have to be about futuristic/bogus science?
Numb3rs, CSIs, all are a lot more of sci-fi than typical TV shows. I noticed Bones, especially, have sci-fi style humor.
You are wrong, but I'll give you the last word.
My bad. Cut this old geezer a slack and go to dictionary.com and plug in "vaccine". It even lists some medical definitions.
I feel generous for lazy dorks like you today:
ahref=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vaccinerel=url2html-22639http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/vaccine>
Not according to dictionary. Why don't you cite a medical dictionary that distinguishes vaccine from other types of drugs. Go ahead.
Actually, you're right. Its mechanism is that of the traditional vaccine, although its purpose is treatment, not prevention.
