Boss Hogg says to "get yo' fax straight", Roscoe:)
[There has been a widespread myth that the original bug was moved to the Smithsonian, and an earlier version of this entry so asserted. A correspondent who thought to check discovered that the bug was not there. While investigating this in late 1990, your editor discovered that the NSWC still had the bug, but had unsuccessfully tried to get the Smithsonian to accept it -- and that the present curator of their History of American Technology Museum didn't know this and agreed that it would make a worthwhile exhibit. It was moved to the Smithsonian in mid-1991, but due to space and money constraints was not actually exhibited for years afterwards. Thus, the process of investigating the original-computer-bug bug fixed it in an entirely unexpected way, by making the myth true! --ESR]
However, if the NSWC in question is actually Dahlgren, the attention of the gun nuts in the crowd is drawn to the 18.1 inch gun down there on the firing line. Nothing above 16 inches was ever deployed in a US Naval gun, but it makes a swell trivia question.
Yes, but use of functional languages can lead to creative thinking. Go wander the byzantine maze of your choice of bloated class library, you malcontent!
P.J.Plaguer (Dinkumware C++ standard libraries, IIRC) had an interesting editorial where he (to summarize) embraced open source as an advertising leader for his product. When you're interested in a more formal arrangement, because the inherent informality of the GPL leaves you anxious, come see him.
That is confidence, and a good reason to ensure that the market continues to support a spectrum of licensing.

These are the voyages of the conditional-ship Hypothetical, its five year mission to discover how that vast delta between the reference state and reality crept into the system...

Why I Love The GPL

Right. The point that I'm making is that the bulk of the discussion (across the internet) thus far has seemed horomone-drenched. While I like the GPL, I can't warm to the 'ethical' argument track, and a broader economic analysis might just show that a variety of licensing choices in all software product categories helps everone, at the micro- and macroeconomic level.
I never hear the conversation cast in simple econominc terms, like buyer, seller, and market.
I think there is a licensing spectrum, whose effect is to increase market size and lower costs all around.
It's really all good. Put the religious fervor into your choice of house of worship.
Maybe I'm repeating you from another angle, but CivIII was the first one I was able to play less than compulsively.
Meier sure knows how to bring out the megalomaniac in a fellow.
...but I thought that the strategic goal of XML is to sell more hardware.
We should rejoice, buy more CPUs, and move the problem from XML, to languages with poor concurrency support.
It's based on a hidden one-size-fits-all assertion, where size=="SUV".
People know when they're sitting behind copious bandwidth. And you could well grow accustomed to an all-text page weighing the better part of a megabyte, due to a heinous amount of information parked in hidden JavaScript data structures, giving you that near-whiplash inducing responsiveness. (Ah, the ghosts of projects past...)
Then again, you also know when you're on a cell phone, and the information you really need is already at the top of the page, and standing by for ludicrous chrome and tailfin to download could lead you to curse.
Nothing marks an American more than an insatiable lust for overengineer, but go ahead and light off Keb' Mo' "Am I Wrong?" for a compelling counter-argument.
When my wife started to travel internationally, we went to T-Mobe on a pair of '600s. I've been keeping in touch with the sweetmeat via SMS from the US while she has visited St. Petersburg, Russia, and Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I love the speakerphone feature, though sometimes I have to point the microphone right at myself to get good justice.
The 2.5mm earpiece that came with it is rather marginal.
I would rate it 9/10, and my previous CDMA Kyocera7135 about 8/10.
A no-camera version of a Treo6** would be nice. I took one series of photos that was kind of fun, but the feature seems more trouble than it's worth. I'd rather that engineering were invested in the direction of a GSM/CDMA uberphone...
Oh, yeah? Well, I actually went to Giessen, Germany, once, to visit someone.
I can confidently report that it is a Pödünk.
My wife reports that Giessen sports its own license plate code, to which I say: it's still a Pödünk.
Uhhh, I think LAMP and J2EE are both flavors of OO/procedural. All of the tools involved are based on C, directly or otherwise.
Help me understand where the functional paradigm of Lisp enters either side...
1) Seems a paraphrase of Stalin.
2) So?
3) I'm closest to getting some traction here; the individuale/corporate behavior distinction drives behavior in Real Life(tm) as well as games.
I don't know. As an official Right Wing Nut-Job, I think the bulk of contemporary American culture deserves to be ignored. So little of it is in any sort of good taste.
OTOH, as a member of the military, I support and defend the right of twits all over the US to write and attempt to sell such.
Attempts to regulate good taste, beyond simply 'ignoring the bad', pretty much fall into the category of "cures worse than the disease", IMHO.

It was Joey, in the Conference Room, with the Marketing Plan:
"How can we drive up sales of the memory cards," inquired Philo, VP of Marketing, "and make room for XML, AFU, and the TLA host?"
"Well, my broker is E.F. Hutton, and he says," all eyes on Joey "that FAT is all that."
Bipperton Fusslebeak could wait no longer: "But that's so inefficient! What are we, the government? We can't just pick people's pockets like that! You'll kill the product!"
Philo responded calmly: "I don't even know why Engineering shows up at Marketing meetings. I'm a little surprised the relocating of your position to Bangalore didn't affect your attendence, Mr. Fusslebeak. You looked surprised...received you not the memo? Engineering does such a poor job of communicating with its...people. Joey, your ideas, and your bonus, are splendid..."

Something to do with the fourth MS article in a row?

But really, aren't the 'inside jobs' the best?

No, in a land of .Net and the SUV, the mini is a lesson on thinking small that we need in a large way.
