Oh come on. I mean I don't like the Python "whitespace as syntax" as a matter of aesthestics, but thats a ridiculous statement to make. Any programmer knows that the "if" for instance has to terminate, the worst case scenario is that they will throw in some { } or extraneous ends and it will fail to parse. Then they'll quickly figure it out. It's not gonna cause you any more runtime errors than any other language. If a block is so big and so nested that you make a mistake placing a statement in the proper block, you'd probably make that mistake regardless of the language.
Every time OO.o comes up on/., someone mentions pivot tables. Could someone, please please tell me what the heck pivot tables are, and what they are used for?
My friend has for his SNES, a floopy drive. He's got to have dozens and dozens of 3.5" floppies with roms on them. I think it was called the Super Drive or something...
I yearn for the day when a search engine does as well.
I wouldn't hold your breath. Somehow I doubt google keeps a copy of every web page and greps it every time you do a search. It would make for very long searches, since it would be O(n) (where n is the number of characters in web pages searched by google.). You can't hash a regex to speed up searches. (Well you could but thats only useful if someone had previously typed in the same regex you wanted and sat around waiting for it to complete.)
I dare say it's the sexiest thing I've seen yet. If they ever release a version 2 that allows for simple Javascript on the client for AJAX interfaces, there will be only 1 game in town for web development!
Rails already has support for AJAX. Check the documentation
Also, "US Robotics" now THAT is funny. Are they still in business? Similar to the placement SGI had in "Lost In Space" -- is SGI still in business? Wow!
You obviously haven't actually read any Asimov. If anything US Robotics was retroactive product placement, they got the name from Asimov, not the other way around.
Note the "big arrow" operator, as opposed to the =.
Of course the constant pragma does pretty much the exact same thing as sub DEBUG { return 0; } anyway.
It wasn't a link it was a copy of the contents of the rss feed with a different url. Which could have ended up having total different content than the original rss feed. His issue wasn't being added to an index, it was that the index indexed differently than how he expected.
You scare me. You do know that apt can break, right? And its especially fun if it breaks during a cron job at 2 in the morning on a dist-upgrade and no one is around to notice something went horribly, horribly wrong.

I use pivot tables in my job extensively,

If ++ is +1 and -- is -1, then why would you think ** is exponent? Surely a new operator is in order. I nominate ^.
Caret is bitwise-xor in many C-style languages.
He doesn't loathe Java. (Well maybe he does, but its impossible to determine from his post). He loathes hyper-enthusiasts.
Apparently you want it to be Prolog on Rails?

Binary packages are the responsibility of your distribution.
I know. I said that.

I'd rather have a nice Manhattan Special
We want to play them, but we're bored of racing games, I don't like fighting games, and we don't like sports games
Mario Party!
"We are the ants king Antony, we're coming to help King Graham!" Sorry, V was the only one I played, but this is awesome news.

That honor goes to The Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall which used the Quake engine.
Methinks you mean Ultima Underworld. Linky: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultima_Underworld
And back in the dark ages of computing there was a programming language called Report Program Generator (RPG)
I know some people who are still in those Dark Ages
But what mental feats are there?
See the Psionics Handbook for a list of feats a psionicist can take.
Every time huh? Funny, I thought it was only when it had that little restart required icon next to the update.
Sager notebooks are basically scary, over the top laptops. You can get them with RAID for chrissakes.

Maybe we should have had an interview with the admins instead of the guy running the study.
