It's a good thing they didn't name this language "Eric Garner", then it would really be dead. All Eric did was not pay taxes on a few loose cigarettes. How much taxes has Oracle not paid on JAVA? In fairness, Larry Ellison does not hawk CD's on NYC streets. It's a shame Eric never learned JAVA, he might be alive today. In an effort to stay on topic, I would just point out, this another example of how global warming is ruining our lives.
Just get over it and use Adobe. The thousands wasted by trying to save a buck just doesn't make sense. And the quality of your faith based software is not made up for by the quantity. I know this seems like flame bait to those of you that don't actually have the need for software that works, so don't take offense at being marginalized.
I've considered this theory, and even enjoyed several stories that illustrate the point. The problem is, it's a narcissistic load of bull. Nature doesn't care what you do. God doesn't care what you do. Sure, we're all invited to the party, but most of us will get by if you don't make it. If you calculate the maximum entropy a single human being can introduce into the universe, you will discover it quickly becomes swamped out. Now I'm not saying you shouldn't live your life in accordance with your own self deluding philosophies, I'm just saying that most of the people that ever worked for IBM are dead now and most of the world STILL doesn't use IBM PC's. Now, you may say..."What in God's green earth does that have to do with ANYTHING???" And of course, then I would smile, because you have almost gotten the point.
It's "Good day, Sir."
You will have a hard time winning people to your side of the argument. Nobody but nobody is going to agree to their own extinction if you talk to them that way. Except Rodney King. Rodney it seems, still aked the question "Can't we all get along?" Even after getting beaten like a pinata. Which only goes to prove you can't beat sense into people. Fortunately, Eric Garner was hardly beaten at all, which makes his death at the hands of a totalitarian state much more palatable. My point is, words, like guns, can cause irrevocable harm if used indiscriminately. And global warming. Don't discount the role global warming plays in any Slashdot discussion. There.
Or what they are contracted to do. There is no use arguing with somebody who insists you spend 2 hours+ doing a D.O.D. wipe on a out of warranty drive if they are willing to pay you. Otherwise, 15s through a degausser will do the trick. Something tells me you didn't make a copy of the last guy's data before you wiped it and installed your stuff. I'm betting no calls to the NSA,or even the local police were made. Nobody cares about this stuff except the people that need to. Finally, there is no machine in a datacenter that has both important data and Slackware on it. Hope you remove your own data before the next lease runs out, because nobody is going to do it for you.
Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. The Act protects against distributing digital audio recording devices whose primary purpose is to rip copyrighted material.
That's why they don't sell it as a CD ripper. Simple things are simple. It is confounding how many people take enormous effort to make simple things hard.
Ikan, This is EXACTLY why big data like hadoop and hpcc is so popular. Sure, 20 years ago your MS Access RDBMS would never lead you to this answer. But we have got bigger and better systems now. We have MORE of everything. Believe me, if you haven't used a 120 petabyte quantum causality database recently you are missing out on all the good stuff.
No, he redefined what "workaholic", "family man" and "high end" mean yet you choose to quibble over what constitutes a drug. Even so, 32 oz of Redbull is no longer a felony in New York, while the non-collection of taxes on cigarettes still carries the death sentence. Despite moderation, Eric Garner seems to be relevant to any discussion. Mostly because the right to life is unalienable, if you (and the police and Slashdotters) believe in God given rights. Or God. Did I miss anything?
Tech support on a 10 minute delay. Sorry Apollo 13, we don't see a problem down here...It's probably your firewall software. Do you mind if I place you on a brief hold?
The case has already been made against the assemblage of substandard HP garbage occupying half a freakin rack! The person that was blamed for this probably doesn't even work at this company anymore. The best thing you can do is contact the sales guy at the data center and form an unnofficial alliance and work out some preliminary arrangement for a kickback when you reopen your account after the cloud plan goes up in smoke. Most importantly, tell no one about this. You have obviously stumbled into another exploit of the BOFH. Stay out of the office till this blows over, you don't seem to be the intended target, and are messing with forces you don't understand.
Eric Garner probably would not have survived being tarred and feathered either which is probably why the hole thing was outlawed. Unfortunately, Eric didn't understand simple wisdom. NEVER argue with a cop. That is what lawyers are for. Always strive to survive your trip to see a judge. Never talk to a cop. Cops don't specifically set out to kill you, that i just an added bonus. They simply want to excercise their authority over you, which they have. Usually you can recognize cops by their jackboot uniforms and shiny badges and guns. Unfortunately for Eric he was approached by a "plainclothed" thug. He didn't have a chance to run away. Eric was not given a citation for a court appearance. He was just killed, mostly by accident. I mean, I don't know how 4 guys decide to assault someone by accident, but it's not like they al emptied their revolvers in the hope that one or two bullets ould find their target.
... which is why we don't allow something as innocuous as a box cutter in schools anymore. I tend to believe conspiracy theories, and actually favor the inevitable constitutional debates that follow. Invariably, an idiot shows up and slices and dices himself because he doesn't have the tool handling ability of a bronze age neanderthal. Society then intervenes to preserve the gene pool. It's perplexing.
There is no need for me to take sides. You may think that in the large scheme of things, Eric Garners passing is insignificant. That is the real debate. One thing is certain. Eric was important enough to me to log in and improve the odds of a flame war. You see, I may not have the wherewithall to alter the outcome of a society hell bent on its own destruction but, You've got to say: 'I'm a human being, god-dammit! My life has value!...
Now I want you to get out of your chairs...
Perhaps, if you one day you find yourself teaching a bunch of uninterested twits as a non union, non tenured contractor, you might wanna throw that into the equation. Besides, if we can't saddle a bunch of dummies with debt early on, this whole national socialist experiment we got going on is gonna get rough.

In other news, Pelosi continues to study the American Healthcare Act. (not really)
Only Netcraft can do that.

But I decided to use your numbers as a baseline definition of unproductiveness anyway. Really, I had no idea you could abuse a computer this way.
I'm not even sure gcc would let you do this. But what do I know? I don't blame cigarettes for the death of Eric Garner either.

The police say they didn't do it, so what else could it be?

It works better when they do nothing

A badge and a gun. Think of it as 2 factor authentication. Eric Garner does not have legal standing to appeal his death sentence. Neither do you.

Yes, we have taken the hand crank off engines long ago.
And I miss them.
The analogous part is asking the people for opinion and the rejection thereof.
