I don't think I've ever user recursion in my professional career. Sure, if I ever need to code a BNF grammar I might, but it's just never come up in the real world.
Just ask Wil Wheaton if the internet existed when TNG was on the air. Poor guy had to put up with all manner of abuse in alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die . We may only have had usenet, gopher, ftp, and archie, but we got by. And Wil - if you are reading this, I never posted in a.w.c.d.d.d , but did laugh at stuff read out. Sorry about that.
If Paramount/CBS were smart, they would fund the creation of the Marjel Barret voice, to be used in all future Star Trek projects, and set it free. From what I've heard in interviews, I thinks he would approve.
Agreed. Sound like what they need is a marketing person. If it does taste the same, don't look at it as waste, look at it as a limited time premium product !
Never heard of X-Plane before, but I just bought the Android version. I wuld never have heard aboutt his otherwise. Patent Troll, meet Streisand effect !
The article says the company that made the synth is out of business, yet the wikipedia entry for DECtalk links to the company that owns the rights, and it looks like they still make an RT available for linux: http://www.speechfxinc.com/dectalk_linux.php
I would love to know what the people who see no 'cavernous ideological divide' are looking for, that the parties look the same to them.
The last 40 or so years have seen some significant shifts. The Democrats have been taken over by those looking for European style socialism. In attempts at moderation, the Republicans lost their focus on small federal government and states rights. Each compromise takes us down the progressive path, so yes you end up with these silly bailouts. There is now a resurgance of Republicans who have had enough and are trying to push back to their small-government roots.
No divide ? One side things the government should provide for everyone, the other that people should provide for themselves. What are you looking for ?
The problem is that the US doesn't mind taking down foreign sites that use.org,.com or.net TLDs on the grounds of alleged copyright infringement etc with no legal recourse available. People on Slashdot often point out that some countries consider large parts of the net to be illegal because they show women no wearing full face veils etc. but apparently then it violates a US law it's okay.
The fact that the US controls all TLDs is unacceptable to many people.
Our of curiosity, if it was so acceptable, then why did you all connect to our Internet in the first place ?
I mean, if I go to someone's party, and I don't like the music they play, I leave. I don't bitch and moan they should play what I like.
The US government does not protect free speech and lets states, local governments, schools and other institutions and private companies restrict at will it sems.
And this is how we want it. Our constitution lists specific powers that the federal (US) government has. All others are left to the states to be decided on a local level. You don't like you New York, move to Utah, or Nebraska, or California. You have choices. That is your freedom,
Keep something in mind here. The population of Holland (according to Wikipedia) is 6 million. The population of New York CITY is 8.1 million. Let me say that again: We have more people in one city then in your entire region.
Oh yes, ignorant American knows Holland isn't a country. The population of the Netherlands is 16million, the population of New York STATE is 19.3 million. One of our states is bigger then your entire country, and we have 50 states. The comparison of a European country to the US just isn't valid, it would be better to compare to a single state. The US would be comparable to what the EU might become.
If you really want to wrap your head around this, find the BBC series "Stephen Fry in America", and/or the companion book. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Fry_in_America. He travels to all 50 states, treating them like 50 countries. It might help you grasp just how different Americans can be.
I would call it influential due to the imitators it had in the end-user publishing field. There were many friendly computer books with cutsy images, but A FORTRAN Coloring Book was the first.
You'll have something like one Humanities (Hum) requirement per semester, and it will be tailored to people putting all their effort into tech courses.
At least that was my experience going to Stevens Institute of Technology circa 1986 - 91
This reads like an article from circa 1980, just replace "Cloud" with "Personal Computer".
People didn't want to wait for access to the mainframe, they went to Radio Shack and bought a TRS-80, or whatever local store you had and picked up an Apple, CBM, random CP/M machine, etc.
Then more PCs showed up, they needed to share data, IT installed a network...
Because every bit of propaganda helps. Frankly, I would think they were idiots if they DIDN'T announce they had found porn, whether they did or not.
It has nothing to do with what "US people" think of porn. The idea is to show he was a hypocrite. People may be less willing to die for his cause, if it can be shown that he didn't follow his own words. Anything that went against his own supposed ideology would serve the purpose.
I'm going to bet that no one talking about this knows what the apps actually does. Does the app say "Hold this to your forehead for 5 minutes while running to be cured of being gay" ? If so then it could be denied as being a fraud and skip the whole issue.
Along the same line, a vaccination for being gay would be just as bogus, but wouldn't be an argument against vaccines for polio.
I'm going come back on the freedom side. A person can want or not want, whatever they want. Moreover, as a general fear of absolutes, I would be incredibly surprised if everyone who was gay, was so for the same reason. I don't think we know nearly enough about it to make blanket statements.
Apple, of course, is free to do whatever they want with their business, and we are free to buy whatever phone we want, which is why I have a G2.
Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.

And I'm a borderline human who was happy to get a D in Differential Equations. However, I encourage anyone who thinks differently to do what they feel is right, and leave the good jobs to the rest of us.
This reminds me of my college days, when the school was switching from all DEC Pro-350 computers to PCs. They were throwing out pallets of the DECs, and students were grabbing them all up - to use as space heaters. Had an off-campus basement apartment ? Extra cold night ? Turn on another DEC Pro-350 !

I use a combination of MythTV for video/DVR and Subsonic for my audio collection.

If you think THAT looks like cartoon swears, you should see APL code.
I prefer Norm's version
Women, you can't live with them . . . pass the beer nuts.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "A FORTRAN Coloring Book." Yes, it's a real book: http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~kaufman1/FortranColoringBook/ColoringBkCover.html

I was kinda disappointed when I saw the article.

Thanks ! This immediately came to mind, but I could not remember the title of the book.

Not a complete solution, but possibly part of a solution. WowWee (The company that made the Robosapian) has a mobile webcam 'robot', the Rovio
http://www.wowwee.com/en/products/tech/telepresence/rovio
They sell it for pretty much your situation. So, whenever it's wondering around, the family can know "Dad is here !"
