That's not Asimov. It's a film he had nothing to do with that they put one of his titles on for marketing purposes(it bears no resemblence whatsoever to the book). Still a clever piece of dialog, though.
Well, no human alive today in any case. All so-called "original" works produced today are derivatives of older works (Shakespeare, folklore, etc)
If you think Shakespeare was original, you are sadly deluded. Just about all of his plots can be traced back to other sources, from which he often lifted them virtually intact. What elevated Shakespeare wasn't the originality of his stories, but the way he told them.
Which is segregated by sex. You *must* have one man, and one woman. You can't have a man in the woman's slot, you can't have a woman in the man's slot.
Most people use Google mail by simply accessing Google's servers via web. Since the email is stored on Google's own server, they can delete it. Now, if it had been *me*, they'd have been SOL, because I have all my Google mail forwarded to my private IMAP server, and it's out of Google's hands. But the average Gmail user, yeah, Google would be able to kill the mail.
I've never encountered any sort of computer drawing tool that wasn't excrutiatingly painful when compared to paper and something pencil-like.
From which I can infer you've never used a really decent graphics tablet + stylus. It's the standard tool of the many, many artists who have given up physical media to go digital. Of course, it's not a convenient thing for everybody to use in a meeting.
Can someone explain to me why all these program manpage references have e.g. "(1)" after them?
It's the manpage section. Section 1 is general commands, for example, while section 3 is library calls. Thus, if you want to see the man page for the printf command, you can say "man 1 printf", while if you want to see the man page for the printf system call, you can say "man 3 printf".
How does Bikini Atoll show how to remove an island? It's still there. It may show you how to *evacuate* an island and make it uninhabitable, but that's not the same thing.
I go running on the side of the road a lot and I pay careful attention to hear cars come up behind me
Actually, if you're running on the side of a road without a sidewalk, you're supposed run on the left side of the road so you can *see* the oncoming traffic.

John de Lancie will come teach you Spanish?
And subject to massive trolling by malicious users...

And guess what? It's a sport!

So, you don't have caches in your world?
It's really about data, not bandwidth. Just like your utilities connection is about water or electricity, not pipes or wires.
In fact, that's what this *article* is about--the TV should've saved data for later, but didn't.
"[Object-oriented programming] is both anti-modular and anti-parallel by its very nature"
This sentence makes no sense to me. What are objects if not modules? And surely one can have independent objects run in parallel.
That's good, right?
It's the manpage section. Section 1 is general commands, for example, while section 3 is library calls. Thus, if you want to see the man page for the printf command, you can say "man 1 printf", while if you want to see the man page for the printf system call, you can say "man 3 printf".
I suppose you could say you learned about ./ on /.
Yeah, that worked real well.
It's not just branching. You also run into difficulties when a following instruction needs to use the results of the precending one.
C. At the beginning of the tool chain, there'll be a bootstrap compiler written in assembler, but full production C compilers are written in C.
"Secular decline" is sometimes used to describe a long-term trend of overall decline. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...
How can express the movement of the north pole in terms of north or south, given that it is the pole itself that defines those terms?

Nuts & Volts is still around, too.
If they serve a purpose, they deserve a reasonable profit. For the life of me, I cannot see what that purpose is. Perhaps you can enlighten us.
"Living History". Japan invaders were thrown out of China some *75 years ago*. Not too many people left who have personal memories of it, any more.
I likes to go swimmin with bow legged wimmin.
