So $REPO/tag/bug42fix is $REPO/trunk at revision 124 forever, until the end of time. Or until you delete it.
If you commit to that tag, it becomes a branch.
Also, copying is light-weight. Even if/trunk is 20MB, the copy will only use a few kilobytes of repository space.
So, a tag is a copy you don't commit to, and a branch is a copy you commit to. Tags don't even have to be under/tags, but that's what most people do. the SVN book covers this is great detail.
tags and branches are just copies, and copies are very cheap space-wise in SVN. It's really quite clean. Mainline development in/trunk, branches under/branch/ and tags in/tags/...

Um, on the grand scale of the universe,
100 planets is completely insignificant one way or another. I mean, there are like 80 septillion stars, right? Or more?
it is also worth noting that scripting languages tend to have a faster startup time than java-esque languages. In general, anyway.
On my 450mhz PII, running a simple java application takes a few seconds to start, while the equiv. perl or python program starts up without any noticable delay.
And perl has to compile the program before it runs it...
Parrot vs. JVM is going to be very interesting, too. JVM is a stack-based VM, while I believe Parrot is register-based (like most real machines, actually.:) and I've heard this difference might prove faster.
Bah, freedictionary is evil. They
basically copy wikipedia and insert the obligatory

Some far-out proposals suggest engineering a collision between Mars and one of its moons, such as Phobos or Deimos, in order to increase mass and introduce energy into the core.
Truely far out, as I believe phobos and deimos
much less massive than mars.
if my calculations are right, 59 billion phoboses would equal about one mars. .
and it would take 286 billion deimoses to equal one mars. they're really insignificant moons.
perl uses curlies for hash subscripts. @* is not a variable. While @* is a valid variable, I've never seen it used. Valid, yet cryptic perl could be : ($thing{'bob'}, @*) = @_;
Or @*{'foo','bar','baz'} = $* =~ m{(?:[a-z])(\w+)(\d)(\d)}im;

Theft (colloquially called stealing) is in general unlawfully taking someone else's property.
In law, it is usually the broadest term for a crime against property. It is a general term that encompasses offences such as burglary, embezzlement, larceny, looting, robbery, and sometimes criminal conversion.
Copyright infringement is usually a civil offence, and only criminal
when "the alleged infringer has few assets relative to the damages that have been caused, making civil suit an ineffective remedy for the infringement"

You do:
/trunk is 20MB, the copy will only use a few kilobytes of repository space.
/tags, but that's what most people do. the SVN book covers this is great detail.
easy:
svn checkout -r 124 $REPO/trunk
svn cp trunk/ $REPO/tag/bug42fix

apple can already be a verb. Or, it used to be a verb in 1913...
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913):
Apple \Ap"ple\ ([a^]p"p'l), v. i.
To grow like an apple; to bear apples. --Holland.
Now, it would be mighty strange to say I apple,
as I don't believe I can bear fruit...
How about turning, "book" into a verb? Oh, wait... "Book him, charlie!"
How about mango?
glib didn't exist at the time the APR was started. Also glib is still not quite useful on windows.
Well, "enough CPU cycles" is usually so high a number that it isn't possible to compute before the end of the universe.
Oh yes, indeed. There are people this lonely. I don't see how a tamagotchi girlfriend is going to make someone less lonely, though...

I'm not sure the guy that wrote that was trying to make perl win... most of the perl examples are invalid anyway, or seriously botched looking...

Also, one does not usually go to jail for copyright infringement. See: this link:
Copyright infringement is not punishable by laws against theft. Simple fact.
Wikipedia says this
Copyright infringement is usually a civil offence, and only criminal when "the alleged infringer has few assets relative to the damages that have been caused, making civil suit an ineffective remedy for the infringement"
All that said, IANAL...
