Hating to state the obvious, OSX is not based on Linux but on *BSD. They just happen to inherit the POSIX interface, which makes it simpler to have native Linux applications running on OSX than it would be otherwise.
If we truly believe that democracy is desirable, then we ought to help them, or just STFU.
No, we shouldn't. We should meddle if they cry for help, or if their non-democrat government decides it is time to poke us with a sharp stick; otherwise, we should let the people decide what is best for them and not what we think it may be.
I beg to differ. I have to press ALT Gr + 8/9 to use [ and ]. On the other hand, < requires only one key, while > requires the same key and SHIFT.
I'd say they are both inconvinient; I'd rather use ~ and \, one for opening, other for closing, since that would really make sense given my keyboard, and I'd only have to press each key one time without any additional keys.
On the country where I live, my college course is called "Informatics Engineering" (once translated), though I believe it is just plain Computer Science. However, we get to join an Engineers Order once we acquire a MSc, which allow us to act as recognized engineers, though I'm not sure how such association is called in other countries.
Thing is, I also don't really get how can someone in this field of work claim to be an engineer. As one of my teachers once put it, a civil engineer may guarantee that a given bridge won't fall given certain parameters; however, a "software/informatics/computers engineer" can not guarantee the program is free of bugs.
I'm also very uncomfortable bearing the title of "engineer" once I finnish my MSc.
Also, Google Latitude works in more places, besides USA, where the governments don't really have the will power (or the funds) to track individuals.
That said, Google Latitude may very well be used by said governments as a cheap(er) way to get the job done and, probably, without the need of a warrant whatsoever.
I don't mean to be captain obvious, but just because one understands fenomena one way, it surelly doesn't mean there is no other way to perceive it.
My whole point being, the current state of science may allow us to understand biology, chemistry, physics in such a way we verify it as being universal, but nevertheless, what we perceive as universal may only be a subset of each field. One should not label something as impossible just because the current state of science does not contemplate it.
I've been coding C for a while now and recursion has always been presented to me as hell on earth. I'm sure most of the people who has ever created a recursive pow had a stack overflow at some point due to the amount of calls made.
So, I don't get it: how can it be more efficient when used on compiled code?
Maybe it would have been even more astonishingly awesome if the once-martians would have jumped from their planet into this new one on-impact, but disposed of all their tools and superior knowledge had to go live in trees just like regular monkeys.
I guess your story/theory won't have much acceptance among darwinists.

There is only so much one can take before their logic circuits get overloaded, and they default to the Jackass Mentality.
Gladly, that is my default mentality, no matter what.
I'd be awesome in such a job. I'd be unemployed also.
Link or your 80% to 90% is fucking bullshit, which it is.
I read it in a blog.
Maybe he had a real life by that time?

Nice one. I only wish I hadn't posted already so I could mod you up :)
30 seconds ad for a 4 minutes video? That's overkilling it, don't you think?

Thing is, C3PO is a main character; doesn't have to be useful. Besides, he's a hell of a story teller.
I do maintain that the German 'portal' and the Latin-based one probably (I couldn't find evidence either way) share a common ancestor.

I guess that's pretty much what is happening with the financial crisis going on:
1. You tax the people.
2. You give the tax to the (almost bankrupt) banks.
3. The banks lend money with high interest to the people who were taxed.
All in all, it's just another day and the world is still spinning.
How much is that in euros these days?
Unless there is a movie relating such invention, I doubt that timezones even exist for real.

Of course it can. A baby may born already dead; it still is a birth, and there is no life envolved.
You could also be interested in port knocking.
Turned out to be quite handy when I had that same issue with bots connecting to my ssh port all day long.
If there were no death, there would be no birth and no life at all.
I believe you messed up here. Whithout birth there is no life or death. The opposite may not hold.

I suppose it would be the "Funny... that always happens to me aswell" kind of funny.
Certain apes, maybe. Or Dolphins. Heck, even they may be restricted somewhat in the reflective/understanding scheme of things.
You're one of those fellows still clinging to the idea that Man is the most intelligent species occupying the planet, are you?
So, does this means all those who foretold the end of the world in 2012 were, in fact, foretelling the construction of an intergalactic bypass?
If douglas adams were right, Earth would be, by now and since *ever*, a computer... it wouldn't need to become one.
Think about it.
Too far fetched?
Maybe the bacteria bit of the story/theory.
