I'm sure they would start to miss us once that global depression hits.
My point wasn't to say that Monad wasn't good, simply that the idea of an interactive object oriented shell is nothing new.
I also agree with your statement about ease of maintaining and adding features to a script. I think Python does alright in that department.

Not to take anything away from Monad, but you've been able to script objects interactively with Python for well over a decade. There are other languages like that as well (Ruby is, I believe). I don't think Monad is really far ahead of what is already available on Unix and Windows.
Actually, if I remember correctly the Linux kernel code uses tabs, which normally default to 8 spaces. Most editors allow you to change the way tabs appear on screen. I think Linus has a rule about not having more than three levels of nesting in code as well.
Someone mod parent up. The inability for software to deal with spaces in the file name is an error in the software. The user should not have to conform to the limits of poorly designed software. Not letting a user use spaces in a file name is the same as not letting them use more than 8 characters in the file name - it is limiting and a sign of bad design.
It is possible to have both libraries on the same system. Suse did this during the move from kde2 - kde3. They had a package(kde-compat, or something like that) so you could continue to use kde2 binaries under kde3.
Performance isn't the only reason to use stored procedures. Dynamic SQL in a Web Application is vulnerable to SQL Injection flaws, this isn't true of stored procedures. Also you can do dynamic SQL in PL/SQL if you really need to, by evaluating a string as a SQL statement. This requires some validation of input (which should always be done:) so you don't open yourself back up to code injection flaws.
You either have free speech or you don't. If the goverment can ban certain types of speech they don't like then you don't have free speech. Free speech is just that, whether you find the content objectionable or not.
It comes down to cost. The cost of implementing a smartcard credit card and replacing the existing infrastructure would be immense. It is cheaper for the credit card companies to simply absorb the loss. You won't see a new standard emerge unless this situation changes, and absorbing the cost becomes to high.
You say you like Java, yet you complain about how many steps it takes to do fairly simple operations. You then talk about how it is usually the slowest of the server side languages you have used. You say you want it to succeed, mostly because of the ideas behind it (cross-platform, etc).
It sounds like you prefer the ideals of Java more than the language itself.

Actually, many catholics might argue that point.

Why python? That problem would be a simple sh script.
That's correct, if you are running a Unix system. I am under the assumption that the problem was referring to Windows systems and not Unix.
A service on Windows is similar to a daemon on Unix.
It is still a process, but a distinct type of process.
It doesn't seem so bad if you used the wmi module:

Some of the K56Flex modems were flashable to V.90. The one I had was, anyway.
Actually, there are Walmarts in Europe, there is one right outside of Frankfurt.
Actually,there is a JIT compiler for Python called psyco.

"...For one thing, there's no permission control"
Actually, you can set permissions for registry keys.

The telephone was invented by Antonio Meucci not by Grey or Bell. He was simply to poor to patent his invention.
Actually neither Bell or Grey is the inventor of the telephone.
Meucci - invention of the telephone

But I think the grandparent post was confusing BitTorrent with BitKeeper - the verion control program Linus uses.

Actually it's not that difficult. You can build the block you want to evaluate as a string seperated by semi colons.
eg: while something: do_this(); do_that(); i += 1
Actually, the Declaration of Independence refers to the Indians as savages. Not that it's right, just that it does.

Zope has built in version control for it's 'web assets', and I am pretty sure they predate Interwoven at doing so.
