That's great. I don't know I'd ever bother with this - it would have lit my mind on fire around 2001 or so!
I bet it gets a lot farther than the Debian-on-BSD-kernel efforts. Still, aside from trading away great device support in exchange to get ZFS, I can't see the point./usr/ucb/bin/usr/local/bin/usr/debian/bin
Is hard as it would be for an Aussie to stomach the idea, the perspective to look at this is as a percentage of the United Kingdom's population, at the said time.;-)
Given the choice of a world without a USA - or a world without an Iran?
A world without a USA would be more peaceful and habitable and more moral by anyone's measure.
When Americans talk about freedom, how can anyone listen, without breaking a sad smile? This is a country with 1% of its ENTIRE POPULATION in prison or jail. This is an acheivement never before equaled in human history.
I remember! And I remember the "out of band" communications. Nice to hear from you. Glad you enjoyed it, yourself.
Yeah. I gotta go lighter! I was coming down with the flu when I saw this - and got grumpier from there...
Still - the film seems to promote some fantasy about who the military/industrial elite are, and that there are individuals in those positions who can act singularly - out of conscience - for the benefit of humanity.
Tony Stark is like a comic book John Galt. I can't stand Ayn Rand, either.:-)
Ultimately, the film was produced with help and cooperation of the USAF.
The "chair force" have moved themselves to the forefront of the Military mission of generating propaganda and conducting surveillance on the world's civilian populations - including US domestic operations. You don't need to do much more than search for "Air Force" on Slashdot and Wired.com's Danger Room to see how insidious and corrupting this has become.
Unadulterated fascist, racist propaganda of the lowest intent - with crypto-homoeroticism as the cincher. In other words: more American "culture".
If you want to brainwash your 14-year-old into thinking corporate executives are "cool" and that weapon systems are "hot" - send 'em. Maybe they'll sign up to die in an endless war on Terra!
Just make sure they're really gullible and ignorant. It's a pretty transparent setup.
Precious "Steamboat Willie" is more egregious. It contains little original material, and was - in fact - a pleasant cartoon recasting of the now classic "Steamboat Bill Junior", by Buster Keaton.
A quick peek and you'll see why Disney and Iwerks copped it.
I agree that Fortran is the bee's-knees for algebraic stuff, clearly what it is designed for.
I say Fortran IV. They taught us some Fortran 77, but I was already looking into pascal. I wanted string handling and input parsing. ("Drop Lamp") All that left/right stuff! It's like moving a cursor with batch processing!
I have a Wilkinson saftey razor from 1936. I still accepts today's blades, and comes in a marvelous little leather case, with a heavy brass zipper. It bows the blade when closed, and this creates a shaving angle on the razor edge, similar to modern cartridge razors. I used this, when I have the luxury of time. Most otherwise, I am now a "shower shaver", and the usual Gilette, disposable, pivot-head twin-blade does the trick.
Breakfast was a bit of a disaster, this morning, I'm afraid to say. There is an unpleasantness with post-viral symptoms that I won't trouble you with. I did manage a bit of soft potato and some reduced chicken stock.
Astrology is a lovely parlour game. I am a Scorpio, with Sagittarius rising, Venus in Libra and Mars in Leo. This is supposed to account for some outlandishness and idealism. Go figure.
Now, scoot back on your seat, me boy! Your mother doesn't like to think she's wasted all these ears, and you can't yet sit decently at the table!
Slashdot Mirror
Ad?
What is this "ad" of which you speak? Your words are strange to us, visitor.
Read the article.
Short answer?
Windows!
sudo apt-get install x-window-manager-openwin mailtool
Lol!
Ha!

You could always do something like that!
Without all that free crap.

Hope you got a wax for free, with that brainwashing.

Nick Turse talks about how this has evolved: http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/032008T.shtml
But Marvel Comics has gone as far as hiring Active Duty USAF officers on duty in Israel to write for them! And they boast about it!
So, yeah. I had a hard time seeing this as an entertainment, when I had the continual creepy feeling it was a PsyOp.
I'd rather see The Ipcress File, The Conversation, or Three Days of the Condor.
Exactly.
What the heck does ballyhooed mean?
It means it was the subject of an Indian Musical film, my dear.
And corporatism, and empire, and technophilic military priapism.
It's like the "Anti-V for Vendetta" movie.

You, my friend, are clearly not conversant with the fine, insulating properties of black electrical tape!
Sick, in bed! :-)

Fortran IV,
The language that drove me to discover Pascal, around '81!
Wow. I'm the same age.
