Lol. Are you serious? It's "easy" to logically disprove an omnipotent god? I'd like to see you attempt that logical argument. Sorry, man, it's as hard to logically disprove an omnipotent god, as it is to logically prove there is one.
Oh, come on. Too easy - proof by contradication:
If God is all powerful, can He create a rock so big that He himself cannot lift it?
So, if he can create the rock, but cannot lift it he's not all powerful. If he cannot create such a rock then he also is not all powerful.
Because there are only two companies that control the last mile in your area, and they have both made a working TPM a condition of obtaining residential Internet access through them.
Wouldn't this also be an opportunity for a wireless ISP to step in and provide for TPM-less service?
It's far slower than the CPython implementation. The.NET version of Python, also written by the developer of Jython, can be _faster_ than CPython. He found it so inspirational that he went to go work for Microsoft on the CLR.
Ah, good for him.
The speed of Jython is not that important. The integration between Java and Jython is.
Java portability is important to a minority of server application developers. Java portability is also somewhat of a myth for anything but fairly simple applications.
Well, I work for a vendor that sells several large (over one million LOCs) Java applications. Our clients run the software on nearly every flavor of Unix (including some AIX) and many flavors of Windows.
The apps are not simple at all - it's high performance communication software and associated tools.
So for us, portability is very important (we even have a.Net interface library). It doesn't appear to be a myth from here:)
It may not seem like a big deal to some, but being able to write more or less equally capable code in VB.NET, C#, J#, C++, Python, or a long list of other languages really does increase adoption.
Actually Jython runs very nicely on JVM. I know there is JRuby in the works, plus several others.
On the other hand, Java runs on Unix and Windows. Is there a working version of.NET for Solaris?

Hmmm.... what about int or float or char? If you want to see a real pure Object Oriented language try SmallTalk or Ruby.
There are couple of consulting firms that you could consider. But you must be ready to pay top dollar. Remember you get what you pay for. For example ThoughtWorks .
Thanks.... I re-read the Wiki definitions. Too bad - as it kills my joke.
I had read "Mismeasure of Man" by S.J. Gould long time ago. I don't really think that something as poorly defined and complex as "intelligence" can be reduced to a single number.
IQ basically says that your "intelligence" is comparable to someone older than you. So, if I am 50 and my IQ is 200, I have the intelligence of a 100 year old person. Right?
The cube can be solved in 29 or less moves. Here is a reference.
I originally worked out the solution to the cube when the Scientific American article by Douglas Hosfstader appeared. I never got my speed much below one minute. I did manage to win a T-Shirt at a Cube contest though - a contents with several hundreds of participants...
I think the demand for unplugged applications is on the way down and it's only going to get smaller. Just think, how useful your computer is when not connected to the network?
I think the real problem here is that the students are probably very candid in their writings on what goes on in school. I bet you they write a lot about the teachers, ones they like and ones they don't. I would bet that the principal is more worried about the "image" of the school than any "online preditors".
My wife teaches in public schools. In a school where she was a substitute teacher, some students were found to have blogs that criticised the teachers - in pretty nasty language. The teachers freaked out! Even when they were told by the principal that there is
nothing they could do, they talked about law suits etc. Some clearly did not understand what the First Amendment is all about.
The funniest part was the complaint about my wife was that she gave too many essays. She thought this was the best thing her students could have written about an English teacher.
I think one way to identify some of the problems with our education system is to listen to what the students have to say. Saying it in a public forum will put real pressure on schools to improve.
You are give 12 gold coins and a balance scale. One of the coins is false. A false coin will weight more or less than a real gold coin.
In three trials (using the balance scale) find the bad coin and determine if it is light or heavy.

Q.E.D.
(with apologies to George Carlin)
Would you be so fast to say this if the religion in question was Scientology? How about Cult of the Dead Carrot?
How about the fact that fish and all single cell animals contain the same DNA that you do. Humans just have little more.
Wouldn't this also be an opportunity for a wireless ISP to step in and provide for TPM-less service?
Thanks!!!!
Where did you get this impression? Maybe because you saw some regular expressions in Ruby? Ruby syntax is much, much clearer than Perl.
Take a look here

That was supposed to say "" element.....
I agree. I've come to realize that XML causes more problems than it solves. Everytime I see XML with element I cringe.
XML makes it easy to define languages, and so every idiot goes ahead and defines one...

How true!
It's also harder to write ad-hoc extensions to an eclipse plugin, which is one large benefit emacs has over it.
Hmmm... maybe we need a Elisp plugin ;-)
