Taxpayer funded elections could do a lot to end campaign corruption Foreign aide could to a lot to reduce our need to reduce rights We are fine on church and state separation
Finally the way the government works for the people is by taxing people and buying stuff for the common good. That's what "working for the people" means.
I really like Edward Snowden. I think the NSA revelations are very important. I think Obama deserves the drop in popularity from these lies.
That being said, the NSA program is not remotely in the same league as Auswitz. Most veterans didn't even see combat those who did had little to do with any war crimes. If you want to rock the boat you need to get a sense of perspective.
There are no months old efforts the story broke late June 5th.
Anyway I'm not sure we are fundamentally disagreeing. We are both saying the effort to discredit him failed.
Your point about Republicans being essentially 100% of the drop is interesting It could be caused by Republican's switching sides because of international backlash against the USA. It could also be that they are more susceptible to conformist propaganda as the Bush administration showed.
Inventory almost never sells. Barnes and Nobles and Borders raised the bar very high for what was inventory. As for games, DVDs,.... shelf space costs a lot. You may be failing to appreciate how expensive it is to stock anything.
Nixon was during a high point of people fighting back against government abuses. Don't forget what came before Nixon and was disclosed about FBI and local police misbehavior.
Edward Snowden has been subjected to a month long attack campaign. This started with go after his girlfriend for being a pole dancer. It followed with other negative news stories and criticism by major politicians. From there there was a federal espionage indictment. He then had to flee the country and the USA has gone to extraordinary lengths putting pressure on countries to isolate him. The media has been mainly complicit. And after all that is approval rating has dropped a mere 5 points.
The mention of the USA I never objected to. I happen to think that's also Egyptian paranoia but the USA is actively involved as a state holder in Egyptian politics. I objected to the mention of Israel, while Israel borders Egypt so do Libya and Sudan. Israel arguably might have less influence than the other two for cultural reasons but more influence because it is far and away the most militarily powerful. There is no reason to single it out, nor any reason to group it with the USA.
When did I say "leverage the existing skill set" I said "more productive". They are more productive because it is a language which allows for more abstraction. As would Prolog.
I've done it in Haskell and it was dirt easy. I know for Haskell that at runtime you have to declare at compile time thread characteristics, either use all available cores or use N cores (n is compile time fixed) which means the compiler is building a specific version. When I do that I usually get the speedups I would expect. It wouldn't shock me if GHC is far better than the Racket compiler.
For example using the non-memozied Fibonacci and making it parallel:
parFib:: Int -> Int parFib n | n cutoff = fib n parFib n = p `par` q `pseq` (p + q)
where
p = parFib $ n - 1
q = parFib $ n - 2
cutoff = 20::Int
and fib is parFib with all the parallelisms removed.
Oh I'm sorry I thought you meant business modeling.
I'm not sure that exposing LISP APIs in a library is all that different than anything else. a) Customer buys the library and pays either a per link fee for distribution or a one time fee b) Client uses the library more or less however they want (excluding a few limitation in the license)
First off anti-semitism never had anything to do with racial semites that is arabs. Morphology is not definition, a cat house is not a place where cats live. The word anti-semitism was invented by French and German nationalists quite specifically to address the status of racially / ethnically Jewish converts to Christianity.
As for the rest, yes Israel wants a friendly government. It is possible they would be happy about a military dictatorship. But so would about 80 other countries. There is no reason to single Israel out. Israel is a bit player in Egyptian internal politics.
Some closed components is a closed system. Most of Oracle, the scripts, are open source. Oracle could probably Open source 95% of the engine given all the stuff in their architecture guides without revealing a single secret. It would still be a closed source database. Similarly if customers are concerned about redistribution then they want to be closed.
The AGPL is designed to prevent exactly your use case. That's not a bug, it is doing exactly what it was designed to do.
I understand but your point above was that business modeling might require a separation and LISP allows for that. LISP can handle a layer where code and data are distinct.
I think your premise is wrong. LXDE is way ahead of Razor-qt. LXDE is undergoing a change of widget sets that's a much easier task then Razor developing an entire desktop layer that LXDE already has. LXDE is one of the 4 main open source GUIs, there are solid distributions which use LXDE as their environment. Qt is just a widget set for LXDE. I think merger makes sense and the Razor code might speed up LXDE's migration. But that's all Razor codebase can offer some code for some components that might be useful. The Razor developers of course could become really important players for LXDE going forward.
So far functional is doing amazing at parallel. Because the languages are side effect free you can embed execution strategies right in the code as a high level modifier that can be easily profiled / changed.
The main things with good functional code is you don't think in terms of "first thing the program does". You shouldn't care about order at all. What's important is the hierarchy. That's why Haskell introduced do notation to allow for imperative statements to be in imperatives if order matters
What a terrible pity. A bunch of engineers got to work on a design they enjoyed and have enthusiasm for their work and also be more productive. Can't possibly understand why a PM would allow that since whoever had to maintain it would have to learn a few new things.
I read your discussion below and he isn't helping.
Assume I have a pre-existing system that already has a good set of primitives and operations that I like. I can whip up a LISP that uses those primitives and those operators in a few hundred lines of code. Because LISP structures are so incredibly generic most code will work in my new LISP right out of the box so I can extend my LISP easily and simply.
That's what the parenthesis buy me. No syntax means I get off the ground really cheaply and extend cheaply. Other than that, it doesn't buy me anything and costs a lot in terms of confusion.

It is called statistical sampling. A poll with n people randomly selected can be representative of an arbitrarily large population.

Wow does this headline have things reversed.

That's the story.

Then publish the patch file to rip out everything. For the one line of javascript just publish a generic version of the line. Now you qualify.

The business model works the same either way.

Because /. has become incredibly conservative.

Apple's LISP incidentally had the same thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_(programming_language)

The most popular RPN was HP's RPL = Reverse Polish LISP.
In any case, yes RPN languages are also quite awesome. And incidentally many GPU programming languages are FORTHs.
LISP has that cool syntax to allow for easiest meta programming.
Arguably Haskell = LISP with better syntax.
so in your case X = blah blah
