It's interesting you mention FP. One of the most interesting parts of Higher Order Perl, in my opinion, is the parser generator Dominus builds up. In response to an email about it, Dominus told me he'd adapted it from Structured ML for the Working Programmer.
You do realize that clicking and dragging a wire from one library to another is easier than gluing them (or anything) together in C? LabVIEW is absolutely not a general-purpose programming environment, but when you want the features it has, it is like the Garden of Eden.
Oh yeah, rsync. Is that one still broken on 10.5? Apple's build of rsync on 10.4 consistently choked on a few files when my dad started using it on his Mac Pro.
it is not funny to joke about this sort of thing, ever.
right now, AS I TYPE THIS there are literally HUNDREDS of electric LED-powered devices near intersections around Boston. most of them look pretty sophisticated and they seem to be ACTUALLY WIRED INTO THE GRID. some of them display pretty clear timing mechanisms too. I have reported it to the police but 911 stopped taking my calls. I guess the next step is a press conference.
Users of piracy software are NOT responsible for any piracy which may occur when they put pirated content online for others to pirate. The EFF better be all over this.
Yes, but it just as strongly provides a cop-out mechanism with which the patient may absolve herself of her responsibility to recover. Besides, the science of measuring changes in brain and blood chemistry, then these changes for mood swings concurrent with the change, is shaky at best. It will be a long time before humans fully understand neuro- and bio-chemistry and how they relate to the psyche, and until that day I am more than happy to keep my patients in the dark about it.
I find this attitude to be the singlemost prevalent misconception in the field today. In my studied opinion it is far better for the chemical/physical causes of mental illness to be hidden safely away from the subject. The patient should understand that their problem stems from within themselves, not from generations of malignant genes. This places the burden and yoke of recovery squarely on their shoulders, where it belongs.
you're a newbie? turn off the PC and install NetBSD if you want to learn a real Unix.
Gentoo is a weenie toy. use it if you want people on IRC to think you're cool. use NetBSD if you want a clean, tight, secure, stable and beautiful system.
What is so terrible about pointing out the apparent, natural and omnipresent differences about males and females?
(ok, here I go throwing my karma into the fire)
Men excel at physical pursuits. It is not only because our hormones allow greater muscle mass -- there are other forces at work here and science has not yet pinned them down. But a quick look at fighter pilots today, for example, shows that even in a field where physical strength is not essential, men are far more suited to the task than women.
Sure, there are lady fighter pilots, women who can exert the concentration and coordination necessary for Uncle Sam to trust them with $100M toys. Just as there are women who can beat men at Quake III. All I'm saying is that statistics confirm that there are not many of them.

thanks! I hope all is well on your end.
I also factored in the Apple fangirlism and the username. this is peeto, btw!
Brandy!
look at the site -- they make PLC's, not general-purpose processors. they're not losing a goddamn cent to Sony or IBM.
Semantically it's somewhere between Scheme and JavaScript.
also, Kansas is somewhere between Maine and California.

punk didn't die in 1979 -- that's when it got interesting. I guess that's where it lost you, huh.
GNOME and KDE were obsoleted with the release of Mac OS X.

Try translating it into Hindi.
You mean that the 3 copies of Toast that everyone pirated didn't keep them alive?
When wars are fought from 15 miles up now anyway?
In fact I saw Tom Araya wearing velcro hi-tops the last time Slayer toured.
It was designed to revolutionize transportation. It has not done that very well.
I see where this is leading, and wish to point out that you swallowed at least a quart last night.
Now is that a solid ounce, a fluid ounce, or an apothecary ounce?
They're not monkeys anymore. Novell bought Ximian and replaced all the monkeys with Mormons.

Is that so bad?
