Energy (content) can presumably be stored, where bandwidth (transport) cannot. The price of Internet access is (predominantly) for the transport of content, where energy price is (predominantly) for the content itself.
The point is that variables are scoped to functions, not to blocks like
in all other C-style family languages (and all other languages which
permit variable declarations within blocks; the only other exception
I'm aware of is VB6).
Python. Combined with not requiring explicit variable declaration.
Python is different, precisely because it doesn't have any local variable declarations in the first place (ditto for Ruby, PHP etc). [...] There's no way this is confusing: [...]

I have had a couple problems which I think are
separate. One is that the DVDs are munched, so
trying to do a filesystem copy fails because
there are so many bad sectors, which are not part
of the actual content... knowing what is actual
valid content requires following the menus rather
than treating the DVD as a filesystem. It seems
like some versions of libdvdnav4 are able to
figure out what bytes are part of the content.
The other problem I seem to have had is the
offsets in the menus for chapters and titles
is mangled, so the DVD may appear to have 99
titles, each with a long list of offsets for
where the chapter content is, and the only way
to figure out which title is the real one is
play the DVD via the menu, and let it jump
from one title to another. I recently did
this with a DVD with "mplayer -v -identify dvdnav://"
and saw it eventually wound up on Title 58;
then if I just started by playing dvdnav://58,
it worked ok. If I used, say "dvdnav://1", it
would skip over a lot of the content. Each
of the titles (dvdnav://10 or whatever) would
look like the right thing-- many chapters and
a runtime of about the correct length, but it
would skip around-- it played the content,
but not all of it.
QT doesn't need a whole bunch of wrappers and libraries to fake a windows environment, DVDFab does. End of story.
You are comparing things on two different levels of abstraction here. QT is a set of libraries that provides a certain API on which applications are built. WINE is a set of libraries that provides a different API on which some other applications are built.
I think the point is a typical application needs more than the libraries to successfully run under WINE. The application using WINE requires emulation at that higher level of abstraction.
You wouldn't say that QT creates a "fake" QT environment for applications like KDE so why would you say that WINE provides a "fake" WIN32 environment for DVDFab?
Does this Groovy implementation mean now the end of Jython? If Groovy is so "Pythony", is there a real need to further develop Jython? What are the relative advantages/disadvantages of Groovy over Jython?
I do not find Groovy to be very Pythony. To me Python seems like a language which has been painstakingly evolved over literally decades to conform to some clear simple principles which make developing software easier. And to me Groovy seems like a hodge-podge mish-mash of stuff thrown together to provide some sort of feature set.
So I hope Jython will continue to be actively developed to provide an implementation of Python for the JVM which is as good as, or maybe better than, the CPython implementation.
To the extent Groovy is a "superset" of Java, it is a way to have a shell for doing things in Java without having to build; just type in commands at the prompt, or stick them in a file. One way to look at things might be to think of Java as a way to have compiled Groovy, sort of like Cython is a way to have compiled Python. Whether or not the extra non-Java features Groovy provides are worth using... that is debatable.

Sometimes it seems to me like the "shelf" is very small and new for a lot of "COTS" components... as in the vendor may have never actually sold or even built one, but they figure somebody might want it, so they say they have it, and then they somehow manage to have no units available for evaluation, and the lead time for getting the component is several months. I figure this is because almost all govt acquisition guidelines call for the use of "COTS" components.

I would really like to have a graphics system that is simple enough that I (with only a 4-year degree in computer science) can understand, and which we're using because it's the best design we can come up with, not because it's the only free windowing system we could find in 1984.
I seem to recall that when talking about the "spin" of fundamental particles, you aren't really talking about the same thing as when you're talking about the spin of a baseball.
I have heard that too. It is not clear to me what the distinction is, other than maybe the idea that "spin" is often visualized as a straight line spinning around its midpoint, so the endpoints of the line are going in a circle, and the angular momentum is easy to see as related to the length of the line; but if the length of the line is 0, how can there be spin? It seems like an answer may be to think of the angular momentum as what is fundamental to "spin", and a rotating line is one way to produce that, but not the only way. In a context where all that matters is the angular momentum, how it gets produced may just not be significant. Maybe the important thing is not to assume that because something has angular momentum, it has non-zero volume.
