Just to clarify that, W^X is not "write xor X", but "write xor execute". It's a new policy that OpenBSD uses to specify whether memory is writable or executable, but not both.
This helps prevent buffer overflows on the architectures that support it (sparc, sparc64, alpha, hppa) in that any memory that can be written to cannot be executable, and vice versa - so even if a buffer overflow succeeds in overwriting memory, that memory cannot be executed (or, the memory cannot be overwritten in the first place if it is executable).
Also note that W^X is also available on x86 in -current.
Please note that your solutions for 2 and 3 are not equivalent to the Unix version, in that you're only finding "car" when it's surrounded by spaces; the Unix version finds it when it's surrounded by whitespace (which includes tabs and EOLs).
The best thing about big-endian dates is that you can take two strings - say, "20030424" and "20030826" - and easily determine which date is the earlier and which is the later by comparing them as integers. Simple and logical.
Microsoft paid very little to license Spyglass Mosaic, on the understanding that a certain percentage of income from Explorer would be paid to Spyglass as royalties.
Then Microsoft released Explorer as a free download...

Which ones were they - the scene where the main character masturbated over a catatonic 15-year-old girl, whose mother committed suicide after her husband started having an affair? The fact that the main character's mother died in an accident while inside an Eva - the same Eva that the main character was forced to ride in! Boy, that sure was a coincidence. Not to mention the other woman who committed suicide because the man she loved didn't care for her, but only for a five-year-old girl (who the woman strangled to death, by the way). And darned if that girl wasn't a clone of the woman who the main character's father really did love, except that the girl also had some genetic material from Lilith - or was it Adam? I never could keep those two straight - who were the source of the Angels and the Eva, who the main character's mother had conceived of as a way of ensuring eternal life for the human race, except in the end the girl whose mother committed suicide convinced the main character to forego that option by emotionally scarring him for life.
Now, how many times did you say you you watched it before you picked up on the "little hints" that it wasn't your average giant robot anime?
While I don't agree with the parent's way of stating his case, I do tend to agree with his sentiment.
There's a big difference between being able to get by in a language and being proficient enough to translate between two languages for anyone other than yourself. After I started studying Japanese, I too thought that I was pretty good at it.
Funny thing is, every couple of years I look back on myself and think, "Shit, I didn't know anything".
I speak, read and write Japanese, and I spent some time learning Chinese a few years ago. I've since forgotten 99% of the Chinese I learned, but I can still read Chinese with a reasonable level of understanding.
I think of the difference between phonteic and ideographic writing systems like this - one takes only a short time to learn to read, but each word's meaning has to be learned separately. For the other, it takes longer to learn to read, but once you've done that, you have at least a vague understanding of 90% of the words you see in everyday usage.
So, is it more efficient to spend more time at the start or more time throughout? I don't know, but I do know that anybody who says one way is better than the other has an agenda of their own.
A truly brilliant idea. Now if only we didn't have to wait indefinitely for copyrighted works from after the 1920s or so to be released into the public domain...
I thought he was being ironic, considering approximately 46% (by bodyweight) of Britney Spears is not real woman. Ah well, maybe he is just another dumbass.
Sure, I got your point - but if we give up on correct spelling, then it won't be long before we're back in the 16th Century, when everyone spelled as they liked. Don't know about you, but I prefer to keep a common language.
As for your assumption, no, I didn't learn Japanese to watch anime. I went to university here, and I've been working here since then.
I do speak Japanese, and I don't bother with either subbing or dubbing, but on the few occasions when I've run across dubbed anime, I must say that the voice actors suck large, flaming monkey balls. Really.
By the way, it might interest you to know that dubs of American movies, including the classics you gave, sound very good in Japanese - they use decent voice actors here. Makes all the difference.
True, but it doesn't mean that the relationship has to be a one-way street. If Debian is the embodiment of the principles of the FSF, and yet objects to a specific part of an FSF license, perhaps the FSF should consider whether they need to revise the license.
True, but suppose I were to release a major application - like, say, CVS or Mozilla - under the GPL, with GFDL'd docs, but the documentation contained a thirty-page rant on how Linus Torvalds is a scum-sucking pedophile? Under the current terms of the GFDL, that rant could not be removed from the documentation, even though it has no relation with the software.
Sure, it's an extreme argument, but Debian probably does have a point that the Invariant Sections should be removable, even if not changeable.
There's a lot of really great things about it, and there's a lot of things - whether the artist really intended them or not - that I read into it, and so I think it'll be a good fusion of what Kashiro created and how I would do things.
"The manga is very episodic and very discordant - it's not internally consistent, meaning sometimes she looks like one thing and has one set of abilities, and at the whim of Kashiro he'll go off on a whole different tangent. It needs to be fused and focused and given a centralised storyline. But the character will be very, very true to Alita as she is in the manga.
Sure, it'll be "true" to the original character even though you want to change the storyline, the characterization and the focus. Great, another Americanised bastardization of a work that doesn't need that kind of 'improvement'.

Don't you find it the least bit ironic that the link you gave is to a port of Unix utilities to Windows?
Or even better, wrap Roy Orbison in clingfilm!
... I guess Taco hates Unix so much, he wanted us to see this story twice.

No, he meant 2003/8/26.
Yeah, he could do it on his weekends! ;)

Well, you could take that view, or you could just assume that everyone in power is EVIL.
Hate to tell you, but DBZ in Japan is targeted at kids as well ;)
