When considering stock variation expressed in US dollars, you should also factor in how much the dollar has lost compared to the other currencies.
This graph, for instance, show that the devaluation has eaten up all the gains in MSFT stock, using the Euro as a reference.
Incidentally, the BSD licence infringement has already taken place. That happened as soon as the author distributed the code with the licence stripped from it.
If it is the original author who distributed the code, then NO license infringement has taken place. The author is free to relicense his code under different terms, as long as he hasn't given up this freedom by (for instance) giving exclusive rights to someone.
Does that mean that ObjC is just an untyped language?
It is typed, in that each object has a type, but methods can accept or return objects without restrictions on their type (imagine using Object more in Java and not needing explicit casts).
On the other hand, you still have the choice to specify types explicitly, if you are more on the apprehensive side.
If I want to implement anObject for your method, I need first to read its entire body, find all such stanzas and then implement all methods called
You don't just go around implementing objects for methods only caring about type compatibility. You are usually supposed to know that applying a certain method to a certain object makes sense in your program's architecture, types or lack thereof notwithstanding.
That means software is more maintainable, more stable, thus better.
But if the software is also more verbose, less extensible and has a bigger footprint, does that mean it is also worse? May it be that language goodness is not a monodimensional quality and that different languages have different strong and weak points?
Evolution is a theory, just like Einstein's theories of relativity, Pythagoras' Theorem, and Maxwell's Theory of Electromagnetism. There are no "scientific facts", just theories
I would definitely exclude mathematical theorems such as Pythagoras' from the realm of theories. Theorems strictly follow from axioms and are not dependent on such contingencies as the physical world. Their application to real-world problems depends on whether the axioms they derive from are themselves applicable to it.
This interesting site (at the moment only showing a "coming soon" message) has had years of development and a budget of 45 million euros. It should become a portal of tourism for Italy, but its launch has been postponed several times and I wonder what incredible technology it will include to justify its price-tag. The project is being carried on by three enterprises (Tiscover, Ibm and Its). Strangely enough, the minister promoting the project (Stanca, from Berlusconi's goverment) had previously worked for one of them (Ibm). Might the whole operation be just a way to promote money flow in a certain direction?
It reminds me of a classic true story from my home country: When the Empress of Austria asked her staff why people are unhappy
The way I know the story, it was not an Austrian Empress, but an Austrian Princess best known as French Queen Marie Antoinette, and the story is probably untrue.
Blender is a truly impressive piece of software. I went a few times through the following steps:
Install it out of curiosity
Open the interface and try and "figure it out" for ten minutes, being unable to do anything but move and rotate the default cube
Close and uninstall and forget about it for months.
Then I bought an apartment and to test out various furnishing options I finally decided to seriously learn how to use Blender. It took way longer than 10 minutes to come to terms with the interface, but once you learn the various shortcuts interaction with the 3D space becomes really efficient. Now I completely love it and use it even for creating simple images. Who needs a pre-made icon of an arrow when I can generate a 3D model and a 2D rendering of it in a few minutes.
Not to mention the facts that the package is smaller than your average text-editor, its start-up is almost instantaneous, that it runs identically on Windows and Linux and that you can extend it with Python routines?
You could try NTLM Authorization Proxy Server. It works as a proxy performing NTLM authentication.I have been using it for the last year without problems.
If you are so suspicious of SE Linux then don't install it or even better use the benefits of Open Source and actually read through source to see if the code matches what they claim in their research papers.
There lies the trick. They put hypnotic comments in their code so that everybody reading it will instantly and unknowingly become an NSA agent. And, what's worse, without pay.
At least from a European perspective, there doesn't seem to be as much discussion on the opportunity to export REAL weapons. Cryptographic software could be used by enemies to communicate, but some of all the weapons the US exports could be used by them to actually kill and are used daily by governments and regimes to kill innocent people, breeding new legions of terrorists. And while I see many good uses for PGP, my impaired imagination is not able to find any for a missile-launcher.
Maybe it's just that RSA corporation can't lobby the US government as effectively as all the weapon makers.

Average that with emacs and my statement still holds :-)

Oh, and did I mention that I love it? :-)

Not necessarily. If the text is on multiple columns, all fitting in the page width, you only need to horizontally scroll when changing column.
One (xvfb) does not display anything at all. It has some use to run X-apps without having to fire up a "real" X-server and without need for a display.
The other, of course, is VNC.
