Nice dodge and weave there. You should have stopped before your first comment.

You seem to be complaining that Erlang isn't purely functional enough, and I've heard this criticism from Haskell and other people. But then you decry the lack of loops and bemoan that you have to arrange function clauses for tail recursion instead.
live code updates are an up-front requirement for the domain Erlang addresses. Google "nine nines" if you don't understand why.

The "download PDF first, get dead tree later" approach is a huge winner for tech books. I did the same with "Programming Erlang," and it allowed me to get through the first few chapters on my iPhone (Safari does some magic that renders PDF very well), then read the rest on paper. Then I read Chapter 8 online again because I'd left the book home. Very convenient, and closer to Instant Gratification.
I'm probably not the only one waiting (and waiting...) for djangobook.com to get published finally, but a 2/3 finished PDF would have made me 2/3 happy in the interim.
Seriously, is it? Because those criticisms are pathetic, and two contradict each other.
I'd actually like to read a serious criticism of Erlang. I finished "Programming Erlang" on Sunday, and like many folks, I'm mildly jazzed about Erlang. The syntax hurts somewhat, but then again I spend all day coding Python. And while I can think functionally somewhat, I have a hard time imagining larger systems without OOP, but that's probably my lack of experience.
I'm ready to do something good with Erlang, but I'd like more contrary opinions before I do so.
Makes up for the last six months of PS3 doldrums. Now if we can get one great title like that a month, I won't feel bad I bought this pricey Blu-Ray player.
He'd fit right in with Jackie Mason, that ancient comedian who's now most well-known for saying "half of all scientists say global warming is a hoax." The dain bramage twins.
head down to Circuit City or Soundtrac or wherever, and take a gander at their hi-def DVD lineup.
2 Blu-Ray titles for every 1 HD-DVD.
Now granted, most of this crop of movies just sucks even worse in hi-def. And having "Children of Men" only on HD-DVD really hurts (although I gather that title has caused havoc for XBox 360 and some Samsung HD-DVD owners.)
I bought a PS3 just for the Blu-Ray drive, once it became clear HD-DVD was losing the war.
The games are underwhelming so far, but that's why I have the Wii.
Too true. Best puzzle game evah--crank up the dance music and get in the zone.
Syphon Filter and Wipeout are also among the best games I've played on any platform.
I've got two PSPs and two DSs. I'm a big Nintendo fanboy, but I must say our DSs are the ones collecting dust, but I'm sitting here watching the clock, waiting to go finish Level 3 on Syphon Filter...
So that's it then. He wouldn't lie, and Microsoft wouldn't make him.
An MS security employee says "over my dead body" on a blog. There's still a backdoor in there. Bet on it. Or do you think we were greeted as liberators in Iraq as well?

The more I read, the more glad I was that the idiot poster never defined "SOA." I still don't know what it is, and I like it that way.
Apparently their "bigwig developers" are puerile hackers with little experience but huge chips on their shoulders. At least this one is.
It's really more of a case study in "how to get your blog flames noticed" than anything else.
"For the remainder of fiscal year 2008, we expect [EDD] revenue to increase due to the increased sales of Xbox 360 consoles and related games, accessories, and services, and sales of Zune products,"
Now I don't believe anything said in this story.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 came out for the PS3 on August 22. Is the Xbox still waiting for it?
"it is never a good idea to modify code directly in production without running a full suit of tests against the code" Nice dodge and weave there. You should have stopped before your first comment.
Oh my god, that's the funniest thing I've read today. "COSA killer." Duke Nukem Forever, dooood!
I must assume it's actually trivial and obvious.

I think these two assertions collide.

(The book was outstanding--a pleasure to read.)

Literally. The blurb reads like a sixth-grader wrote it. Although most sixth graders may have a better grasp of the technology involved.
Nice flamebait. Enjoy your perl, grampa.
Unfortunately, we do.
You forgot the quotes around "common sense."

His perspective on science makes perfect sense if you don't think about it.

But still...I'll go with more choices, not less.
Got a PS3 and watched movies only on it. Yes, because I wanted a hi-def DVD format, Blu-Ray looks to be winning, and the PS3 is the cheapest player.
So I'm one, at least.
After a few weeks, I bought Resistance: Fall of Man which is a hoot. But I like our Wii much better for games.

There are a lot of sweaty, spastic, lying Wii owners, however.
They've studied cell phones since 1985? They were only made legal in the U.S. in 1983, and used very different tech than today. I'm skeptical.

"But rolling out universal broadband access really isn't as hard as, say, transforming the middle east into a haven for democracy."
Is that what we're doing there? Transforming it into a haven?
They told me it was because Saddam had WMDs. Guess I didn't get the new memo.
