Just about everybody agrees [the then-President of Honduras] was committing a crime defined by the Honduran Constitution at the time.
I'm glad that you've been monitoring Honduran public opinion so closely and that you're so familiar with the Honduran constitution. I however am not so savvy. I would appreciate it if you would provide evidence for your findings.
Most languages still handle concurrency very badly. C and C++ are clueless about concurrency.
c itself isn't aware of concurrency, but so what? that doesn't mean that a program written in c can't be aware of concurrency. for example, the bell labs thread library manages threads and procs and provides channels for locking and communication between them. the syntax can get clumsy if you aren't careful, but that's the only problem i can think of
Go [... is] intended for server-side processing.
what makes you think that? it's a general purpose language
the language itself is stable and pretty much complete, as is the subset of its library analogous to C's library. the rest of the library and ports to new platforms are being worked on and steadily becoming more mature. if you include an implementation's library in your assessment of the language itself, then i suppose you are right. in my own experience though i haven't found that to be useful as i use only small portions of languages' libraries
i didn't dig at all. they (proudly or not) announce their funding from corporate underwriting, the cpb, and viewers like you at the beginning and end of every program
i don't know if it was your intention or not to insinuate that if a media outlet weren't proud of a funding source, that the funding source wouldn't influence the media outlet's reporting. but in any case i would have to disagree. for every story, the reporter would have to consider whether a source of funds will get upset by the story and withdraw financial support for the media outlet. this is especially the case for organizations like pbs which require such funds to maintain day-to-day operations. this choice that must be made, a balancing act between reporting the news as it happened and appeasing funders, compromises journalism
pbs (and npr) is increasingly funded by corporate underwriting. i would certainly consider the pbs underwriting system to be paid advertising. in addition to corporate funding, pbs is brought to you in part by the corporation for public broadcasting, which is indeed federally funded
And trying to ignore the "little war" in Kosovo until it turned into a genocide was great leadership.
the vast majority of serbian massacres of albanian civilians occurred only after the nato bombing had begun, as was predicted would happen in response to a nato attack. justifying military action on the basis of atrocities committed afterwards is dishonest at best
it's only a contradiction of you consider the constituents to be the people rather than big business
large amount of that money gets skimmed off and into the pockets of rich people.
i do believe you've hit the nail on the head. legislators are aware that this is how their policies work, as activists, economists, and journalist have brought it to their attention many times. if you consider "jobs" to be a euphemism for "constituent profit", keeping the true constituents in mind, it is a very effective policy
here's something different. arming ships is expensive. the chance that a single ship will be hijacked is pretty low. the odds are such that shipping companies are more willing to pay ransoms than to pay to defend their ships
the root of fighting in darfur isn't religion. the war began between african farmers and nomidic arab herdsmen who traditionally shared the land's water. drought brought them into conflict. from there it spun out of control
you can get ribbons at any office supple store. if not for typewriters, than definitely for dot matrix printers. i just pull the ribbon out of the cartridge and wrap it onto the spool
the language is called "limbo"; the system is called "inferno".
well they're both exceptions to op's definition whichever way you phrase it, right? yes
the kernel was not written in limbo; it was written in c.
like i said, much of it is written in limbo. there is more to an operating system than a kernel, especially in an os such as inferno which tries to do as much code as possible in userspace
the go authors have a decades-old practice of deliberately choosing annoying names "in the Bell Labs tradition of selecting names that make marketeers wince."
Lack of pointer arithmetic and explicit memory management probably precludes any attempt to use Go as a "systems" language by that definition (although there are exceptions to that thinking.)
inferno is another exception to your definition of systems language. much of it is written in limbo, a direct ancestor of go. it too has automatic memory management and no pointer arithmatic and it works just fine
well that's why it's an open debate. in my opinion the police should operate much the way they do now but be way less aggressive with suspects. the goal of anarchism is to give everyone the freedom to do anything but infringe upon another's rights. i think the current system is capable of that with some tweaking. a system based upon the current police and courts would be fine with me
it's what to do with people who have infringed on someone else's rights where it gets tricky. do you punish them? reform them? how do you make someone reform? is that even ethical? how can you be sure someone has reformed? do you exile them? do you otherwise separate them from the rest of society? these decisions would be made by a direct democracy of course
it's a tough problem though. i have no idea. but it's not like any other society has solved the problem adequately either
according to liddell and scott's greek lexicon, ho archos means leader, chief, or commander. it can evidently also mean rectum, which i didn't before now. i am both an anarchist and a fifth semester ancient greek student, if that convinces you of whatever of expertise i have
anarchists make a distinction between governments that rule the people and governing bodies with no real means and no desire to force compliance with their judgments. the united states congress for instance makes laws (typically without the support of the people they claim to represent) and if someone chooses not to comply with that law, that person will be made to comply by the police and by the courts. the ietf on the other hand is a relatively democratic* organization that makes judgments but has no way to enforce them nor does it want to enforce them. one can choose to follow an ietf standard or to make up one's own way of doing things with no consequences
how best to provide a military and police force in an anarchist society, as far as i'm aware, is still up for debate. in the past, anarchist militaries have elected their officers, with squads choosing their squad leader from their own ranks and being able to recall that elected leader and choose another at any time. it's a meritocracy basically. where social hierarchies must exist, that's pretty much how it works
* or so i'm assuming, i don't know much about the ietf's internal structure
if russian ships were blockading the united states, european ships would have every right to bypass the blockade to bring goods to the us. naval blockades are an illegal act, and anyone is free to evade them if they choose. perhaps they won't succeed, but that is another matter
And no, they don't have the freedom to enter a foreign country against the wishes of its government.
where did you see that gaza didn't want them there? i hadn't read that
In addition, trying to enter an active war zone isn't usually a sign of rational thinking.

How do you make a concurrent process in [...] C?
with the plan 9 thread library. it has channels similar to those in go for synchronization
http://swtch.com/plan9port/man/man3/thread.html
[Java's] language revisions were rather conservative.... Go is the exact opposite of that.
howso?
Go suffers from the same design mentality behind UNIX and C.
[ken's] insane, short-sighted design decisions are responsible for so many software engineering problems
would you care to elaborate on these points?

Not by evading the Israeli blockade, they can't.
