Perl 6 never given a definitive delivery date, so surely it cannot be "late." Sure, they have been working on it for awhile now and adding all sort of strange magics to the brew (borrowing the best from Perl5/Python/Ruby, incorporating functional concepts from Haskell and others), but nobody said it was going to be finished soon. I guess they're going for longevity and that takes time to really work out. As the recent upsurge of interest in Ruby shows, despite having a whole range of other more common/popular languages and platforms, there's always room for something new when it is a genuine improvement. So I figure even if it takes awhile before it's ready for mass consumption, if Perl6 is solid then it will be worth the wait, and people will still start using it then even if they've settled into other languages in the meantime.
As well, thanks to Pugs over the past year, development on Perl 6 is really starting to pick up, with the language developments having an implemention to work them out on, and the overall effort having more to show than simply Parrot and some very much so work in progress ports of other languages.
In my travels around Europe prior to 2000, American *tourists* represented their nation quite independantly of Dubya by being loud, obnoxious and culturally inept, often greeted by a response that was more interested in taking advantage of their tendancy to go for cheap, low class 'Americanized' entertainment than a warm and 'loving' association. To suggest the Bush singlehandedly "destroyed a centuries-long European love" is giving him far more credit than he deserves or is even accurate.
plex is altogether dead. And besides, the last direction was onto to basically replicate UML functionality but through a lower level interface, to achieve userspace Linux virtual machines running on Linux hosts, not fully virtualized like VMware.

The # symbol is called "hash" typically in a computer context (although musically is would be "sharp", hence C# is "see-sharp"), also a name for a type of drug, one which you smoke. Managers of course love the money ($), but presumably the tech-types like "/." which you are reading right now (you might also fit into the first category if that just became clear.)
I'm sure, having actually managed to be the one to get his slashdot story submission accepted, he had a thorough read through of the letters and hence the "interesting read" part is an informed comment.
I mean, seriously, where is John Titor when you need him? Why didn't he warn us about how the very technology he spoke so highly about and by which he distorted our timeline and entire worldview would have already been the very tool by which the Enemy (spammers) spread their lies and confusion?
John, come on.. The 1980s can't be all that great, can they?
You mention portage and RPM. What about the apt frontend to dpkg? You get not just the tool but the whole Debian project mirror network behind you with those two.
The thing I'm still hoping for is a functional apt-src that can do all the same magic as apt-get but with source packages.
Just a thought: for some people, the work to be done is investigating how to save oneself from unncessary work in the future.
Some people also enjoy fiddling with the small details, perhaps only later applying it to real usage. Not everything has the same level of care or interest for the details, so let it be.
When will people get the idea that is does not matter what you hear as much as what you actually know for a fact (read about and verified, discovered, etc.)
This situation has actually happend before. Dave Taylor (ddt) of the long now defunct crack dot com (and of Abuse and Golgotha fame) did the original port of Quake to Solaris (or some non-exactly-gamers-first-choice platform.) However, the machine with the code on it got cracked and the code become widely distributed (this was years before id officially released & GPL'd the code.) A Linux enthusiast got his hands on the code (it wasn't a hard thing to come by at the time), did a succesful port and actually sent it back to id. Not sure what happend there after, but I do know that ddt continued handling the un*x ports at id for awhile thereafter.
Didn't you get it? That whole battery thing was a lie that people like Morpheus and others who had been unplugged were told, just so they'd stop asking further questions. The reason that that the "real-world" matrix exists is to keep the malcontents/rebels happy (we have yet to see the actual real planet earth in the movies), and the reason that the fake circa-1999 Matrix proper one exists is to give the AIs something to do (fun), plus to give them actual power and control over other sentient beings (just not fake or simulated.)
Question, if you were an AI: do you want to be limited by some stupid robotic manifestation in the actual real world, which may or may not have been ravaged, or be like the Marrovingian (sic, yeah, whatever) in the Matrix proper creating magically orgasmic cake in luxury with millions of peons to rule over?!
The fact that you mention Tutorial D and Dataphor and "true" RDBMS systems suggests to me that you are a fan of Fabian Pascal and Chris Date. I love their site, both for the humour of their fairly extreme and positions and their shear lack of modesty in telling the establishment that "you're wrong." They also know what their talking about and their writings are 100% lucid. Oh well. 'Tis the world we live in.
When you mentioned 4x60GB RAID-1, I think you mean RAID-10. RAID-1 is mirroring between two drives. RAID-0 is striping, that is, the data is spread across two drives. RAID-1 with four drives isn't possible, but with RAID-10 (two pairs of mirrors combined), it is.
My experience with Apache tells me that, when using name-based virtual hosting, if you send an HTTP/1.1 request without the "Host:" header (btw, you're browser puts this in when you visit a site based on DNS hostname anyways, after resolving it's IP and connecting to that as is normal), Apache returns the site configured in the first 'VirtualHost' block in your 'httpd.conf' file.
I would vote for him if he would be willing to accept a yearly sallery of $1; infact, he'd have to demand it. It's not like he doesn't already have enough going on, with Apple and Pixar as it is.
Hey, even though my car has recently been impounded for multiple emissions test failures, I cannot say I have ever had the kinds of problems this BMW owner has had. Seesh, just goes to show which vehicles to avoid, right?
I typically prefer electronic versions of programming language references as opposed to hard-copy, primarily because I don't need yet another typically hundred page "imagine you're computer is a big forest..." type of introduction (that is, introduction to programming as well as an introduction to using a computer, just for good measure.) However, it appears that this series is not focused on these types of books, so all is well again.

Too bad no one cares about them anyways, Linux or otherwise.

I'll go out on a limb to say that it should be:
printf("%d", a + b);
for regular C, and only:
printf(a + b);
if you're using something like Perl or PHP where types are automagically converted (integer -> string.)
