The Judges are sure that the choice of language played a role in this team's ability to produce a top entry in a mere 24 hours, and they are pleased to pronounce that Haskell is a fine programming tool for many applications.
You silly person. Pronouncing the winning language a "fine programming tool for many applications." is the explicit reward for winning second place! Same with the other pronouncements (for other places)....
(Not that they wouldn't be biased towards functional languages... they don't disallow other languages because they don't want to have to say which languages are or are not functional.)
Also, CP/M is not mentioned at all, which DOS was originally based on (named QDOS, not written by Microsoft, created according to the specs of a CP/M manual.)

Al Gore said last night:
"A new prescription drug benefit under Medicare for all our seniors, that's a family value. And let me tell you, I'll fight for it and the other side will not. They give in to the big drug companies. Their plan tells seniors to beg the HMOs and insurance companies for prescription drug coverage.
And that's the difference in this election. They're for the powerful. We're for the people."
You've blown your cover! Kurt Granroth is Al Gore!:) (or at least, he's a politician...)
It's easy to envision there will be some individuals who are philosophically opposed to the GPL, and will refuse consent on that basis.
It's harder for me to imagine having a philosophical problem with the GPL, but thinking the MPL was fine (unless you are Netscape/AOL, but even they seem to have come around, so why worry?)
Was it necessarily a good idea to make this move now?
Sun wanted Star Office integrated into GNOME, so they are GPL'ing it. Netscape wants to encourage reuse of Mozilla (such as integration into GNOME), so they are GPL'ing it. (Maybe the GPL is "viral" after all. Yesss!!)
I have a question, and I'm not trying to be sarcastic. But it sounds like this book is pretty awful based on your description. Why does it get an 8/10?
It seems like good books get 9/10 and bad books get 8/10. Is that correct?
That is fine as long as there are clocks around. There are time when you want to know if you can spend some more time in the bookstore before heading over to the movie theater (or whatever) and there just aren't any damn clocks around. You can go without a watch as long as there are clocks around and your life is predictable and controlled. And you can live without a wallet by just putting the things you will need for a particular excursion into the world until you get home next. That doesn't mean your somehow more enlightened and in control.
I was once working on a project with some guys from Israel, Denmark, and other places and we kept trying to meet but we were having some... "communication difficulties" determining what time we were meeting. So we decided to go with.beats, Internet time, whatever you want to call it. At least then we had one source of an absolute time. We only did that a couple times, but for the first time at a mall I noticed the swatch store (something I would usually edit out of my vision (ignore)) and thought it might be cool to have a watch that could display time in.beats.
Doom 1 did this in a way. You had three separate computers networked together with IPX, and start a left and right and center view with a special command line option.
It looks like the 5-monitor NT was in software mode, stretched across 5 monitors (the software renders into system memory, passes it to DirectX, which splits it up and copies into 5 video cards' display memory). It looks like the Linux dual-head system is using 3D/OpenGL acceleration which is supported by GLX. That is much cooler, IMHO.
Funny how you never hear the other side of the story... the $3 million award was drastically reduced by the judge, but somehow that never hit the newspapers like the original story did.

I refuse to reply to this message because you didn't put two line breaks after my quote, and you quoted using bold.
Oh, wait a minute. You were serious?
You have just been trolled.
He just wanted to get a rise out of people by saying something completely stupid and inflamatory.

Also very interesting, chart of the history of computer languages:

The article mentioned Microsoft's case against Slashdot. What ever became of that case?

A: Time to buy a watch.
Damn. That was the most incoherent and buggy message I've ever written. What I meant to say was: "Bull."

This watch should only be good until 2038... :)
