Unimaginative, uncreative, nosy, and boring - who wants a person like that around? Not me. That's why I'd never hire a Christian.
They aren't all like that, of course, but like you, I think it's okay to paint a group with the same brush. Believing in crazy fairy tales doesn't say a lot for a person's critical faculties.
Great. No regular security updates, no guarantee the latest versions will be tracked, etc. Nice ad-hoc "solution". A better solution is to dump Debian and go with a distribution that stays somewhat up to date, tracks security updates, and still has package management and dependency resolution. Luckily, there are a number of such distributions around, many of them based on Debian.
And it's "voila". A viola is a musical instrument.
I think most people realise that getting rid of spam utterly is impossible, so long as there are countries that allow it, and ISPs that profit from it. But making it more difficult to send can't possibly hurt.
Furthermore, I'd argue that spam filtering has been a great success. It doesn't solve the bandwidth problem, but it does prevent the lost productivity spent deleting 100+ spam messages a day (in my case).
The hardest part is coming up with an idea. I don't think this is as easy as he seems to believe it is, his suggestion in some essay or other to read the Wall Street Journal for a week notwithstanding. It seems like it takes a certain type of thinker to come up with viable startup ideas.
I work for a startup now, and the niche we plan to fill seems blindingly obvious in hindsight. But I would never have thought of it. And the other day, some guy was trying to hire me away with another startup idea that was also pretty good, but again, I wouldn't have thought of it, despite knowing the technology inside out.
It does seem like people are starting businesses like crazy, though. There are so many development jobs here in Vancouver, it's unreal. We just cannot find people with the skills we need.
Oh, I read it, several times (I first read GEB in high school, and I'm 35 now), and I did get it. I just found it didn't have the zip that some of the other parts did. Actually, it's mostly my fault - because I already know how it works, I found it to be somewhat repetitive.
I'd like to hear about some of these eyewitness accounts of Jesus outside of the Bible. Please feel free to list them, and contradict the link I posted. The article uses the word "hearsay" because all accounts of Jesus were written long after his death. The people who should have been writing about him during his alleged life - the Romans, for example - have absolutely nothing to say about him. It's most likely Jesus is a fabrication.
As the link shows, there are no objective sources to corroborate the Bible. The Bible is not an objective source, and was written long after his supposed death. In other words, there is no good evidence for the alleged existence of Jesus.
Well, the calls for morality aren't prevented from reaching people, in the way that information is blocked in China by the government. Appropriately enough, they're simply ignored.
Please, just read the article. He's not complaining about Apple. He's complaining about people who think there is some big cooperation between Apple and KDE when there really isn't.

This isn't a book review. It's a long-winded table of contents. Were there other recipes that should have been included? Did the reviewer think of any weird edge cases that should have been explored? Etc., etc.
Regurgitated table of contents + a few vague, trite paragraphs discussing the binding = Slashdot "book review"
Then you will create multiple accounts on the machine, as he mentions in the interview, which of course you read. The running as root case is for one user, one machine.
You're wrong about the expense - coins stay in circulation for decades, while bills have to be replaced every couple of years. I read somewhere that it costs around an extra $500 000 000 to keep all those bills in circulation.
There's a reason nearly every other country in the western world went with coins in place of low denomination bills. What, do you honestly think they are all wrong, and only the U.S. has it figured out?
It really sucks how what could be an interesting discussion keeps getting hijacked by anti-science religious people.
Let's stick to the topic of this top ten list, and not let things devolve thanks to the creationist weirdos who, for some unknown reason, continue to frequent a technical/science-oriented website.
Is there a good comparison of the various Python frameworks available? Like, what are the strengths/weaknesses/purposes of Twisted, Zope, CherryPy, etc.?
I'm familiar with Zope because I've used zodb a lot (recommended, by the way). But I know nothing about the other frameworks.
Thanks for the link. I'm working with Python these days, and we rolled our own transaction-based app server with mod_python and zodb. But it was a lot of work, and I'd like to see if there's something better available.

CherryPy is quite nice (Python-based web app framework). Very quick to get stuff up and running.

Yeah, for those terabytes of data taken up by your mom's recipes and your cd collection, the extreme power of PHP and MySql is all you need, man.
No one cares. Eat lead.

Err...he is rich due to launching a selling a successful startup. He wrote what later became Yahoo Stores. Or were you joking?

Try Hofstadter's own "Metamagical Themas", which reproduces his column from Scientific American. While it's no GEB, it's got some entertaining stuff.
It's doubtful GEB will ever be topped for its breadth and sheer eccentricity. The only bit that I find drags is all the DNA/RNA stuff.

1. Modprobe/insmod/rmmod.
2. The OpenVMS kernel is written in VAX assembler (http://research.compaq.com/wrl/DECarchives/DTJ/DT J807/DTJ807SC.TXT). It was not written in "languages like" Ada. Jesus christ.

Halifax is nowhere close to being a "large population centre". In 1995, the place wasn't much over six figures.
"Why? Because it simply isn't cost effective to wire up a "small" subscriber base of 100,000 people."
See above.
