And if that fails, they will come back with an armada of gunships, a kraken, an undead monkey, and the accursed souls who were lost at sea. These guys just won't give up.
The point is, we are not trying to save the environment here. Once oil gets scarce again, it's brown-trousers time for plastics. That the replacement is biodegradable and carbon neutral is just a perk.
Maybe they want to make some spurious connection between Abraham Lincoln with his White House install telegraph machine; and Barrack Obama with his security-customized Crackberry.
Microsoft sells ubiquitous software to schools, OEMs and offices. They do a great job. Why do they need to build their brand recognition? If they want to copy Apple, why don't they put some cool tools in Windows, like Python or Ruby. Or heavens forbid, a C compiler? And an IDE, and source control? Wouldn't that rock?
Damn straight. The crackers have Microsoft's code (or some of it) through leaks.
Besides, finding errors or vulnerabilities in your own code is almost impossible, for psychological reasons.
Checking other peoples code is easier. You don't have the ego, so it is easier to find bad bits. Unless the code is hard to read (i.e. badly designed), and you can make the call that it needs refactoring.
Testing for errors or vulnerabilities is easy, especially if you automate.
Yeah, especially since it is debatable as to whether the EULER and TOS are contracts. IANAL, but a contract = terms, agreement, and consideration, all at the same time. Agreement later on is not a contract. And yes, you have probably read this rant before.
If you want small and light, Firefox may no longer be the browser for you. All it need is an embedded emacs mode (with e-Javascript macros), and it would be a complete operating system. I don't think that's really a bad thing. As long as you don't go overboard with extensions it still fits on an EEE.
Some people say he was depressed because he was a devout Christian, but his work was contradicting his beliefs.
I think that "Darwinism" is used by scientists to describe classical evolution. "Post-Darwinist" theories include punctuated (or stepped) evolution, founder affects, modern genetics, and a lot of other things. The rate of mutations is often evolved - so evolution is itself evolving - groovy hey! I haven't studied that stuff for years, but "Darwinism" has not been the alpha and omega of evolution for quite some time.
Some interesting developments outside ecology would include the use of evolution in programming (genetic algorithms), the evolution of cancers, the evolution of ideas and institutions, the evolution of ecologies, and basically anything else that satisfies the replication, competition, and mutation criteria. Myopic? I don't think so.

Well Canada is not *that* developing.
A vector towards "good enough" is good enough for me.
It's not generous, it's just good sales. Maybe greed is good though.
You can probably play around with the affinity, so that the process only runs on the one core.
It didn't help that part of the advantage of IA-64 was that it let programmers write their own branch prediction. Which they didn't want to do.
Or Red Dwarf, "The End".
Captain Hollister: Just one thing before the disco. Holly tells me that he has sensed a non-human life form aboard.

Surely this wouldn't just be a scam for the government to redirect your money into some corporation's balance sheets?
283 lines for a web-based missile control system? I wonder how that compares to the average defense project.
Who says the squirt gun has to use water?
Oh brilliant. So all you need is a rocket built to home in on EM waves from the armor?
It would not be so humorous if the wearer was carrying, say, a loaded firearm.
Maybe they could sell cheap leather shoes? They could bring in Bill to do his stand-up routine.

A list interpreter? That's easy. It's like, one line of code. As long as you pick the right language, and the right language is lisp ;)
JavaScript is pretty close though, being a real language with things like functional programming.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
Wait, how did they get the 5,000 year number?
It's teh internets. I'm afraid they have already seen far worse.
By "public art", I was expecting more gaping anii.
