Cheap food in Africa is a non-trivial political problem. And one could argue that the best way to help people in Zimbabwe to get cheap food is to help open up discourse in the country.
Bear in mind that going back as far as the old battleships decks would be cleared of crew, since the vaccum generated by 16 - 18" main guns could suck people off into the distance behind the shell.
Then who'll give a shit about F1? It's the pinnacle of car-based motorsport. Turning it into a technological little-league a la F3000 or Indy Lights will make it about as popular.
The easy way to inject a bit more interest in F1 would be if the best cars weren't being driven by the best driver. This is why MotoGP just got interesting, with the previously all-conqueroring Rossi leaving Honda (best bikes) and joining Yamaha (next best bikes). Made it very interesting.
In rugby England have four times the player population of New Zealand, multiples of the New Zealand rugby union's income stream. They can afford to send a team touring New Zealand with 19 staff (for a sport with 15 on-field players and 7 reserves), including a lawyer in case any of the players get in trouble.
Sure, but there's a point where a general purpose interface which does many things not terribly well will overtake a bunch of specialised devices that do an excellent job, and that's generally when you have so many single purpose devices that you look like a Christmas tree.
If Hitler hadn't been there, it's unlikely Germany would have gone to war in the first place; more likely they would simply have settled for annexing Austria and reclaiming lost territories on the Franco-German and Czech borders.
Nazi Germany's successes and failures were both a result of his thinking.
Of course, the enthusiasm for the Nazis among the upper classes of Britain and the US didn't help - the failure to support the Republicans in Spain, ignoring Mussolini's offer to turn on Hitler around the time of the annexation of Austria, and the refusal to back France over troops in the Rhine were all part of a pattern of (at best) incompetance that contributed.
These are IMO the main features of a good learner language. You need to be able to get results quickly, and you need to a language that doesn't force the beginner to think too much about theory.
Some flavours of BASIC would be good; perl will let you do stuff quickly. JavaScript and HTML will let you build UIs quickly.
But what can you do with it? One of the obstacles with many pogramming languages, especially the more rigourous ones, is that there's often a gap between learning and doing.
Yeah, learn to play basketball. It's better than DDR because it's not a game. Wait it is. No, it's better because when you become a big star you can anally rape the female fans!
If they do know the difference between good and evil, it's unlikely they'd convert to most Earth religions. Too much of a track record re: killing unbelievers.
Given the author was bankrupted for being unable to correctly add up and file taxreturns for 8 years, it may pay to take his numbers with a pinch of salt, too.
I'm curious as to how I might join the parallel world you inhabit, where Java apps don't already make me use wierd and peculiar verions of the JRE installed in parallel.
Ahh, that would be the carbon dating that self-styled biblical literalists claim is uselfess when comes to the Shroud of Turin, or anything older than 6000 years?
People don't write software for MacOS because Apple will compete with them.
Why do you think the likes of Adobe are scaling down their Mac product line? Apple are trying to have their lunch. Why bother writing software to bolster your enemy?
You fail to understand the nature of contracting. As long as they pay, who gives a fuck? I've billed a customer upwards of a hundred bucks one week for the time I spent on my rostered kitchen duty. I may have been the highest paid dishwasher in New Zealand, on an hourly basis. I don't care; I show up, I do what the client asks to the best of my ability.

They got their arses handed to them last weekend.

I think you'll find Joes that average aren't muching about with OpenBSD and building bitty-boxen with CF hard drives. BICBW.

Ayuh.
What's wrong with a diskless client booting off a server? Especially in this day and age of NZ$300 gigabit switches...
Unless, of course, you want to tote your PDA, iPod, PSP, and some sort of mobile video player.
PDAs are no longer just about taking notes (and, indeed, haven't been for some time). They're general purpose computers.
ALso note that you can now get 12 GB GF cards.

MP3 is the "most open" choice for consumers. It is simply that much of the recording industry is profoundly disinterested in its customers.
Well, he'd have a pretty good libel case.

The design of PAM is from Sun. The open source implementation had nothing to do with them.
It was the strawmen, I tell you. *They* said he never existed!

You missed the upside: no more incessant crapping in threads by Gentoo zealots.

Why yes, the checkout for our source control system is "rm -rf".
