Apparently making grandiose statements about things you have no clue about is how I should have been doing science. Instead of, you know, working hard to justify your conclusions beyond all doubt.
There's a sort of pride among russians in not turning against Russia and it's culture no matter how badly it fucks them. It's like a battered housewife only the size of a country.
There are applications where no overhead is always better than any overhead. Mostly stuff involving the simulation of physical processes. For example in computer sound synthesis and processing no matter how much computational power you throw at me I will use it up. A musician buys a computer twice as fast as the previous one? Great now he can use 10 convolution based reverbs instead of 5 or use that new virtual analog synthesizer plugin that emulates each transistor of some old korg synth perfectly and he will and his computer will choke just as before. Peoples needs are different. Just because you can't think of uses for extra CPU cycles does not mean other people can't and if your program wastes those cycles people will buy from someone else.
Good languages don't die take lisp for instance - it's alive for more then 40 years already and lot's of smart people swear by it. COBOL was a bad language (like everything else businesses - not programmers invent for themselves) so it died, c is a good language so it will exist for a very long time. But obviously everything comes to an end, when he says will not die he probably means in 20 or so years.
It's not that russian people are unethical - some of them are very decent (and some are the worst possible scum you could find on earth) but it's the political system that sucks there, and the majorities need to be proud slaves.
You totally have to be an uber nerd to actually type 4 letters into the terminal emulator, thats sooo way beyond anyone who isnt a super genius that theres no way any normal person could use it

In the context of everything else that is available (R, etc), yes.
Why would anyone use Excel for anything?
The only problem with this is, of course, that what they claim to be doing (automatically examining code for defects) is literally impossible.
since when is old news considered new and exciting research?
the most disturbing thing i have ever seen
That is far from 'discovery' it's in any psychology textbook known to man
Saying that emacs has lisp build-in is somewhat of an understatement. Emacs IS a lisp.
I sort of always thought that less distros would only do good to linux..
a quick search on google turns up 17k hits for "lisp" and 9k hits for "cobol". your point?

It's the same here in Lithuania. And the court would probably just laugh at a case like this.
