Yikes, don't do that. I think its easier to determine which version is newer or older based on the version number associated with it.
Who cares about "new" versus "old"? All I care about is whether my/other code will work on a particular interpreter. And figuring that out is harder if interpreter names aren't tied to major language changes.
Perl 6 has the advantage of being backwards compatible with Perl 5, despite many changes to the language.
. Rather than build big expensive return vehicles (that require fuel for de-orbiting), one could build origami return vehicles that deorbit automatically due to thin atmosphere at LEO. Robotic machinery would create sheet metal (from nickel-iron asteroids),...
I very much doubt a foundry will be lighter than the current alternatives. Nevermind the unlikeliness of finding asteroids to catch. Or the difficulty of catching them without destabilizing the orbit -- that would require fuel.
I study topology in addition to working full time. I do my homework and/or read Munkres' Topology during my downtime. This is beneficial for everybody involved. Admittedly, topology isn't a work related subject. But the sharper my reasoning abilities are, the more efficient I can be in my current post.
There's a version of Gentoo for OS X. BSD Ports works as well. So does apt, and there are pretty big OS X apt repositories out there. And there's already a ton of very high quality Cocoa-ized open source software.
You don't seem to know what high level means.
The Lambda Calculus is certainly a high level programming paradigm, because it is expressive enough to do lambda abstraction and beta reduction without making the user deal with machine specific implementation issues. This is stronger than the definition of "high level" in this context, which only requires restricted lambda abstraction.
Jeez, and you got karma for it too.
Purposefully misinterpreting an obviously correct statement to make a dumb point and gain some karma is an example of bad faith. I was just pointing that out.
The funniest part of all is that he claims to be talking about algorithmic complexity. But even "infinitely many" processors wouldn't change the algorithmic complexity of a sorting algorithm, since it is defined in terms of the number of operations needed, not the run time. The GGGGGP (or however many G's it was) was clearly talking about run time.
It's not particularly unlikely that an algorithm runs in exactly n log n operations (for a sane choice of units). That's kind of the point of Big O notation. Dropping scalar factors into your units. (Though I will note that I prefer using notation like O(n^2 + n) over just O(n^2) since it is more informative, and admit that it complicates my "summary"). The point is: the GGP said n log n, not O(n log n). n/2 log n is faster than n log n, even if they're both of the same algorithmic order.
First, why should I be made to wait 5 days?
Because that's how long it takes to verify that you're legally eligible to own a firearm. Why should you wait 5 minutes while a liquor store clerk or DMV employee checks your identification? Same reason.
Second, there have been documented cases of women(2) being killed while on the waiting list by their formor significant other with a restraining order against him.
Yes, and?
Third, as pointed out - the black market doesn't enforce waiting periods. Only the white market does. It's yet one more 'security measure' that harms the innocent, not the guilty. The guilty goes and buys a black market weapon with no background check, no waiting period, no registration. The innocent have to wait, fill out a form that the ATF loves nitpicking over(3). Hope that the NICS check comes back good, that the computers haven't confused him or her with some criminal type three states over(4) with a semi-similar name.
This is absurd reasoning. By this reasoning, no laws should be in place, because if there's a law in place, a "guilty" person somewhere will break it, putting the "innocent" at a disadvantage. It's homespun "logic", intended to make it sound like innocent people are screwed and at the mercy of criminals. Guess what: people are criminals in virtue of breaking laws. Dropping the waiting period won't change this simple fact. They'll go to legal gun stores instead of the black market. And you'll still be in a race against them. Only you're probably worse off, since most people used to have to spend time on the streets looking for a connection instead of in the yellow pages.
Also, I would suggest that if you're in a race against a person to get a gun, you should probably get in touch with the police instead.
I picked the first link I found in a google search. I guess it was either another company a few months ago (possibly nvidia?) or I am completely misremembering the contours of space-time. Neither would surprise me.
Apple used Open Firmware as well (Open Firmware is OpenBoot's IEEE name). They're using EFI now, which I'm sure is capable. I'm not familiar with the environment at all though.
And who pays for this "free velocity"? As far as I know, the law of conservation of energy -- or angular momentum for that matter -- is still law. This sounds like pie in the sky wish I was high communism to me.
I read all of NKS. The critics are right. The "New" Kind of Science is at least 20 years old. NKS's value is that of a handbook of results in the fields of artificial life, artificial intelligence, complexity theory, and a few other related fields. In that respect, it is rather good. But Wolfram's citations are inadequate at best. My informed -- since I read dozens of primary sources first -- opinion is that he plagiarized the work of many. It is not revolutionary. It is a compilation.
I do like my Korzybski, by the way. But in many ways, Science and Sanity is a simplified version of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. The complexity in Wittgenstein's text is there for a reason. Serious problems arise without it, as he so carefully explained. Still, the spirit of Korzybski's work is admirable.

But you are right: not everybody followed those conventions, so they are getting bitten now when Vista closed the water and the light. Oh and now is Vista the one to blame, not those sloppy pårogrammers.
Good, you can read. This doesn't invalidate the GP's point. Unfortunately for your point, Microsoft is getting bitten, not the developers. Consumers didn't have to deal with UAC before Vista. The operating system is what changed, and is what will be blamed.
OS X never allowed writing to system directories without administrator access in the first place, so developers rarely write to them unless necessary. Apple gets praised because they used a UAC-like mechanism from the start. Microsoft gets blamed because they didn't.
The thing is, even the cheap drilled wire of your phone-line is good enough to transmit multi-mhz signals for DSL over a few km.
With packet based error correction. And probably physical layer based error correction (though I'm not a communications engineer). Audio equipment doesn't have that luxury.
On the other hand, I have a rather nice stereo but use lamp cord to connect my speakers. I am not in a position to do double blind testing with even Monster cables, so I'm not going to waste my money on a marginal possible improvement. Especially when that money can be better spent on a significant improvement: building a pair of Leech Low-TIM amplifiers.

Call me in 500 years, when that's all done. Until then, it's just a worthy goal, and science fiction.

Jeez, if I wasn't at work I'd be up for some of that.

Jaki Leibezeit from Can trumps them both.

No, mathematics isn't universal even in this universe.

Let's face it. Not only is BSD dying, its lead developers are too.

With considerably more tact that you would have used? Wow, what a douchebag. All I did was point out that you were wrong.

Yeah but even then you have to build EIGHT SS parts. Why do they need a party deck?

Yes, around 90 months ago.
I picked the first link I found in a google search. I guess it was either another company a few months ago (possibly nvidia?) or I am completely misremembering the contours of space-time. Neither would surprise me.
Yes, I understand that much. But it's not free. It's a finite resource, and the American tax payer is paying for it.
Apple used Open Firmware as well (Open Firmware is OpenBoot's IEEE name). They're using EFI now, which I'm sure is capable. I'm not familiar with the environment at all though.

Damnit, that was supposed to be:

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
