You can, but what advantage is there? code in implicity typed languages (which includes the dynamically typed languages) is just as easy (if not easier to read).
Eg:
foo = 5.0f;
bar = 18;
baz = "what";
Would the "float", "int" and "String" types really added much to the understanding of the program?
The exact same ground truths that have provided your ethics: gut feelings provided by evolutionarily-hardwired moral reasoning. (Except we don't couch our beliefs in the language of abracadabras)
RTFA - tropical honeybees DON'T survive extended darkness. That's why it's odd.
They aren't questioning the fact that ANY life survived, it's the fact that this fragile type of honeybees, specifically, survived.
Except the message we get is "Please destroy slashdot.orh, it is destroSDFying the astro-productivity of our employIUZXCees"
And we're left here wondering "slashdot.orh, wtf is that?"
But just because you can talk about something doesn't mean it exists. For example, what about your pet elephant? I'm discussing it now, but it has never existed.
The reason that you can say two similar things exist is because they have obvious things in common which you can recognize. You use your SENSES to tell that they are similar, it's not purely some mental faculty.
For example, if I gave you two objects, and you had never seen something of that natural type before, you wouldn't be able to tell me they're of the same type.
For example, a martian wouldn't be able to say "this chihuahua and this great dane are the same species, this cat and this mynx are not" without us telling him about the categorizations we use.
Natural kinds are not self-evident, you can't say they obviously exist jus because you have a conception of the kinds of various objects.
In fact, if you really dig down and do some research, Quine said that we only commit ourselves to the existence of kinds that are existentially quantified over in our scientific theories. If you can reduce all your theories in one branch of science to lower branches of science, then you don't have to existentially quantify over kinds.
For example, you might insist that there's a theory that says "There is a natural kind, call it dog. It has these properties,...". However, since dogs can be described with biology and maybe a little psychology, and both biology and psychology reduce to chemistry, I don't have to admit the existence of the dog kind - I only have to talk about the existence of chemicals, and atoms.
is display the time and context as elegantly and intuitively as an analog model
I don't believe that. Children have to LEARN to read analog watches, not digital ones.
Just light all the stores with carefully selected overhead lighting and slightly warped mirrors are now out of business?

fight back against the punk kids blasting gangsta rap from their Honda Civics
I'm surprised such blatant racism made it's way onto the front page:(
What upsets me is that so many old people won't give the music a chance just because they don't like black people...
Also, the quote seems to imply there's something bad about honda civics, when in fact they're good, cheap cars. Just because not everyone can afford the same expensive cars that you old people do, it doesn't mean that you should make fun of them.:(
However, a single processor machine could be multithreaded, giving equal time to each short-circuit evaluation and therefore still solve the same problems the MP machine could.
I don't see why everyone is so harsh on microsoft, this is the sort of community thing that a lot of people do. It's just spam e-mail to kill the days, I really doubt that anyone "high-up" organized this effort.
I bet the people who did this were even punished for it.
SO what's the big difference between the two companies' products? Although I read the occasional article on arstechnica, I have to admit I don't know much about processors.
Which would you recommend for gaming? I've always heard people say AMD is better price/performance for games, but it seems like intel is finally making progress with their new products.

For the 0.5% of the slashdot crowd that understands it? A summary that explains the relevance (instead of the technical details) would be preferable.

Do honeybees live in far northern climates? Say, in the Arctic? Because if they can hibernate for 6 months without a colony dying off, why not a year?
If you're on windows using MS tools, you can get your compiler to do this automatically. Why reinvent the wheel?

And I mean it, this is a stupid gimmick and will be forgotten in a week. Why did it make frontpage?

I suggest you give a pass on these comments.
