Oh. And, I suppose that there's not really a strong sense of nationalism in either the former USSR or China?? Don't you think communists can be fascists too?

That's just not true. One big advantage to gold is the quite unique trait of resistance to corrosion. Yes, it is quite soft and so can't be used in heavy-duty applications, but it does have a great many uses (electrical for one; as part of an alloy for another).
Well, if it is possible for 'articles' to favor anything at all, they should say so. The quotes I pulled were pretty clear. If the author intended to say something else, then he should have. That's actually one of the reasons I thought the quality of the article was pretty low.
is because we are trying to teach them imperative programming when functional is so much more intuitive to anyone coming from a basic math background?? [I, for one, can vouch for this.]
And, about the mailbox analogy-- my assembly instructor went through a similar demonstration on the first day of class and it was very helpful.

Machines can never want anything. But, that isn't necessary either.
Simply hard-code the machine to learn without positive encouragement. The 'encouragement' requirement is a downside that can be altogether eliminated in truly intelligent machines. Why should we try to build in a detriment in an artificially constructed environment when we can start with a clean slate?
In a software-centric world where we already have many, many languages to program in, from scripting to bytecode compiled languages, to frameworks on top of languages and embedded languages, now Redmond wants to bring ANOTHER language to the table, titled âMâ(TM) (for Microsoft?
What about machine-code compiled languages?
Microsoft has not said much other than that about the new language, but it will presumably be a compiled.net language (goodbye true native code), and from what Microsoft said, M is to strive to be cross-platformâ¦. with a catch.
I hardly think that M will be the end of 'true native code'. C# has already taken over 50% of Windows development and there are many other.NET languages to choose from (IronRuby, IronPython, F#, C++/CLI, VB.NET, to name a few). And besides that, M does not even compete with 'native code'!! It serves an entirely different purpose!!
The mono project does a descent job of allowing.net code to run on non-windows platforms, and if M adheres to the same standards then after a given time M-written applications will be penguin-friendly as well if Microsoft can get around the MS SQL dependency.
It's 'decent' not descent (though maybe that's a Freudian slip?!?). And, Microsoft certainly *can* get around the MS SQL dependency. [Or rather they *should* be able to get around problems they've code into their own platform!!]. But, this isn't a question of capability, it is (or should be) a question of will.
I think the better question is whether anybody else can get around it (certainly so) and will care to (probably not). M sounds rather lame.
Well, for English speakers, I think it makes sense to go top to bottom, left to right. Yes, other languages do the reverse of one, the other, or both, but the website is written in English, no?
Actually, no. But, what does that have to do with reading YouTube comments? Their comments follow no logical order (bottom to top seems to fit most of the time, but not always). Surely, web devs can do better than that!
Well first off, I said 'what about' and not 'why not'. And second:
The 'u' has several sounds that could be associated with it. Since I didn't use any special symbols, I think it's perfectly reasonable to go with OOH as in 'zulu'.
And before you say that it is missing a preceding consonant, take a look at this:

Obama is a communist.
Please mod this up as GP is dead wrong on this.

Here's a more complete list:
(Agreed).
Umm... monolithic isn't the only route. Go micro!
Agreed.
Yea, but 'right' and 'wrong' can also be hardcoded into the machine and thus save precious cycles and effort (by eliminating pure overhead). :-)

How much did he pay for it?
Actually, I think he was trying to tell the joke but a little late to the game!

Why should I have to configure something to get 'normal' behavior? Sane defaults should be assumed.
Actually, no. But, what does that have to do with reading YouTube comments? Their comments follow no logical order (bottom to top seems to fit most of the time, but not always). Surely, web devs can do better than that!
It also be nice if they would order the comments oldest to newest from top to bottom for English readers (instead of bottom to top).
Parallel FX and PLINQ (Parallel LINQ) and in general functional programming (F#) with a minimization of mutable state is the future.
Doing this stuff manually with threads is passe.

Notice that the u in 'uniform' can be pronounced either YOU or OO. [It rather depends on which dialect of English you are speaking].
Wow, now we have duped discussions along with the duped stories!!
