I've learned several programming languages based
on both English and Russian words and I'd say:
English is the best !
There are translations of originally English-based
languages into Russian, among them : Cobol, Pascal, Basic, Algol. There are also some originally Russian-based languages, like Yamb,
Analytic,some assemblers, 1C script (old variant), and
other monsters. They all look ugly, because
Russian, unlike English is very sensitive to
violations of grammar rules. However, it is
impossible to incorporate all features like
cases, genders and word forms into formal grammar.
It is not true that BNF allows words from any
language. BNF is English - based. For example, (in some hypothetic language) there are following statements:
Program xxx// declarations
File yyy
Write program// actions
Write file
in russian it will be:
Programma xxx
Fail yyy
Pisat programmu
Pisat fail
BNF assumes that there are no word forms, like
programma, programme, programmoi etc, that are
context dependent. Translations of existing languages looks even worse, because some concepts can not be expressed in Russian directly, and others are quite long and uneasy. Examples: Option - can not be translated into Russian neither by single word, nor by any combination of any words at all Until = Do teh por poka ne
1. It is true that IP is profitable mostly to large business. This means that one might write thousand articles, but nothing will change. The police will just come and arrest you. You have no rights. You have absolutely no rights. Remember, you even is unable to elect the leader that you want. The only way to reach progress this way is to slowly dissolve the issue. Napster, Open source, Gnutella,... The primary goal is to publish anything that has not been protected by the copyright yet. 2. Those corporations have the self-contradicting demand - the ability to copy things easily and to make a profit out of this copying. Everyone legally allowed to make copies of Leonardo da Vinci works. Nobody succeeded yet. Even Universal Pictures. This is in human nature - willing to get money for nothing. Large companies can achieve this for a limited time. 3. And the most important to my mind: the state is not the same thing as the community. Actually, the state is against the community. So, if there are things that naturally belongs to the community - like free software - do not let the state to own them. This is the word against Marxism.
The board was such an obvious fake Agree. I didn't read the original post. Anyway, the CPU id they used does not match the Soviet standard. For future hoaxers - it should at least start with '1'. Conclusion - nobody from Russia actually read their site. The Russian millitary is still using vacuum tubes, folks This is true, but do you know, where and why ? Before saying that Russians can not make CPUs, take a look at http://www.elbrus.ru:8200/roadmap/e2k.html Or do you think this is another hoax ?
My friend, biochemist, told me that caffeine's input in stimulating effect of coffee is about 3 to 5 percent. All the rest is provided with other alcaloids (for example - tannin) So all talks about caffeine are empty talks.
Well, probably you do not know... Modern days Pascal, unlike one invented by Wirth, is a powerful OO language. Any program, written in C can be translated more or less directly into Pascal (I mean - no emulation needed). Reverse is false. Some people would say that Pascal (Delphi) object model is better than that of C++. This is arguable. It doesn't support - multiple inheritance, templates, overloading. It, however, has features, absent in C++ like read/write properties.
I've never read such stupid article. Or was it a joke ? What about 'feeding the population': I've heared about one person, who has been personally fed by the state government in USA - Monica Levinsky. Others somehow manage to feed themselves. The same thing is in Russia. However, we have sufficiently less homeless people than USA. What about design : SECAM has been chosed because it works better on long distances (more resistant to noise). And not only by USSR. Words about UNIX is pure nonsense. One who thinks that there could be 'communist' or 'capitalist' or other 'ist' operating systems seems to be brainwashed.
I thought everybody knows this. The closer to equator is the launch place - the less fuel you need. Kazakhstan is to the south from Russia. Russia has its own launchpad at Plesetck
You see... Those keyboards are not needed to be carved from stone:-) The ultimate one should allow user to just draw keys needed, for example the for ( key. I'd like them to be not only rectangular. Trapezoidal in fact. With those letters that are needed. Multiple layouts for different languages. It's not that hard.

OK. Does it mean that if I prove that I am using the tape for recording of my own voice, I can apply for tax return ?
This is another good reason for .deb.
They did not invent new format. So I can read .deb from Windows as easy as from Linux.

OK, let's take the existence of God as axiom. Go on, prove everything else!
Surviving in a hard vacuum and radiation is one thing, but surviving a re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere is quite another.
Another interesting topic is surviving (and reproduction) in the atmosphere of another planet.

What about patent limitations?
