I think Prolog deserves an honorary mention here, as that's what the first Erlang interpreter/runtime was built in. (Actually, it shows through Erlang syntax.) People usually don't know how powerful Prolog is for Domain Specific Language creation.
"What an interesting strategy you've outlined here. If a person wants to have non-consensual sex with 14-year olds, all they have to do is "leak" some documents"
No, they just have to find a country where age of consent is below 15. There are quite a few even in Europe.
I highly recommend Citizendum. It was created Larry Sanger, co-founder of Wikipedia. (He was disappointed with it too.) People use real-world names, and real world credentials there. Articles are peer reviewed before published. Of course being more selective means there're less articles.

It's really nice that we'll have lower overall pollution, but you'll still need those new powerplants instead of ICEs. Even the article you metaquoted said so.
"The report found that the need for added generation would be most critical by 2030, when hybrids have been on the market for some time and become a larger percentage of the automobiles Americans drive. In the worst-case scenario—if all hybrid owners charged their vehicles at 5 p.m., at six kilowatts of power—up to 160 large power plants would be needed nationwide to supply the extra electricity, and the demand would reduce the reserve power margins for a particular region's system.
The best-case scenario occurs when vehicles are plugged in after 10 p.m., when the electric load on the system is at a minimum and the wholesale price for energy is least expensive. Depending on the power demand per household, charging vehicles after 10 p.m. would require, at lower demand levels, no additional power generation or, in higher-demand projections, just eight additional power plants nationwide.

I guess what GP didn't understand was the "binaries" part. I mean, Erlang runs in a virtual machine.
"What scientists do is no different from what us common folk do when we debug a program or try to fix a mechanical system"

"I've always assumed that females are more durable than males (long life span, more resistant to diseases, etc)."
You cannot know how much of the shorter lifespan is because of gender roles. (Be macho, binge drinking etc.)
There's good tutorial about DSLs in Prolog here:

I thought only Sith lords can resurrect the dead.
You must be new here. ... Oh wait ...
Do they have a Windows port?
So when you're designing the ROTFLcopter you can write "CROSS-SECTION!!!!1111".
Can you name a good free cross-plaform office suit? (Openoffice grew out of the opensourced Staroffice.)
All rights are social constructs. I can't observer "natural rights" in my microscope.
Why can't Wikileaks get an ugly basement dweller who are no more intrested in woman as president? I thought there are many of them among hacker types.
You just pirate two antivirus software and let them check each other :).
Actually, out uni had a Campus license from Microsoft, and we all used the same activation number (and that was the official way!).
Ehm, I don't remember commandments like 'thou shall not infringe on copyright'.
There's good trail on Showmedo as well, from Glenn Moyes.

No, it's a wikiphile. But it's not so funny.

You should checkout Citizendium. People there edit under their real name*, mostly experts in their own respective fields.
* this encourages real-world credentials to be taken into consideration, when resolving disputes
Lewisnky is the low level burocrat.

Nice cop out Mr. Clinton.
I'm in your internets, eating your cheezburgers.

Well, that sounds like a lot of bullshit. At least the European cars running in Europe are made in Europe, due to tariffs.
