Large hunting knife in the forehead, yes, headbutt, no.
That (and I'm not saying I agree) is to do with "imitative behaviour". The idea being that its easier for kids to copy their heroes laying the Liverpool Kiss on one another than hacking limbs/skulls with knives/lightsabres.
But you can (kind of). Newspapers are frequently, often extensively, revised, between first and subsequent/final print runs, and not always just to include more recent developments.
I can see that book promoting communism is if you think that living with no privacy and not being able to decide one thing in your life, even who you love, and not being able to have free thoughts is a good thing
Now I'm intrigued. Why do you think the totalitarian regime in 1984 is communist? There are certainly clues (Inner Party / Outer Party) but theres nothing particularly to distinguish their politics from totalitarian rightwing dictatorships. Oceania is a facist US, Eastasia is communist USSR. Why do you think airstrip one in communist too?
PG - Parental Guidance - If you are under 12, you have to be with a parent to see it
Thats not actually true. PG and U are both open to all. The PG is a warning to parents to use their discretion as to whether little Johnny should be allowed to go (harking back to a previous age, I fear).
hurricanes and tornadoes, which have crucial features that won't be well modeled, if at all, by the large differential boxes they selected.
I agree the grid resolution is high, but you've missed the point. The whole *idea* is to find which parameterisation of small scale effects (eddy viscosity, ground friction, mesoscale vortices, sea ice production, add-your-favourite-here) leads to the most accurate predictions. Even if the models are flawed, this is still worth doing.

It's very easy to argue that a compiler is a far more fundamental and important part
The existence of one is very important. The provision of one is frequently irrelevant (home users, non programmers [i.e. almost everyone], embedded systems.)
Its interesting you give a link for that phrase, as it doesn't mean what you think it does.
I expect that the two dials on my microwave operate the same way. I expect that every car I drive have controls that operate closely to each other.
But by those criteria KDE and Gnome (and Apple Macs, and MS Windows &c&c) are functionally identical. No less different than the controls in a Lexus from a Chevy Nova.
with weird definitions of what constitutes an operating system. Remember when Stallman made quotes along the lines of "anything that doesn't come with its own compiler isn't a real operating system".
Its pretty good. The only downside is that its called PMT. (It stands for Potteries Motor Traction They've tried to restyle themselves as FirstPMT, but they're still PMT to us.
2. Does Google have any plans to sell Google Web APIs as a service?
Not at this time.
Sure, thats what they say, but what they mean is :
"of course we do. You think we're doing this out of love? But we don't know what they are just yet, and we want to get things right. So go away, and we'll put out a press release as and when we're ready."
The fact that so many apps depend on IE is a testimant to it's componentised design
But componentisation cuts both ways. Nobody )or at least "not me") is complaining about Microsoft saying "if you remove the HTML rendering library", many 3rd party apps won't work. Thats fair enough (and good design). The problem comes when you say "if you remove the HTML rendering library (or, worse yet, use Netscape's) nothing will work".
In any other industry, modularity and flexibility are considered desirable properties. Only in Microsofts ass-backwards world do they run round denying these things...

Anarchy, smanarchy, I say.
Holy moley. I've had more gained more in depth knowledge about their books from 2 minute conversations with strangers on the bus.

Jon ... I fear your slashdot headline generator has become jammed in the "on" position again.
