They're filing chapter 11 bankruptcy, which means they cancel all debts and continue operations with a clean slate. Once (if) they emerge from bankruptcy, the lawsuit resumes. I wonder how their lawyers feel about being stiffed?
Newer languages such as Java and Python have incorporated some limited versions of some of the features of Lisp, but are necessarily unable to bring the coherence and synergy of the full concepts found in Lisp.
file uploading. There are hacks (posting into an iframe and monitoring via ajax) to do it with html, but they're not as clean and require you to do extra work on the server side.
The thing comes with linux already installed on it. He's talking about their devkit. Although the devkit is probably just a gcc cross-compiler, header files, and libraries, so I don't know what the problem is.
The word "open" had established meanings before open source -- OpenGroup, X/Open, Open Software Foundation, etc. GNU doesn't use the word open, preferring FREE (which has it's own multiple-usage problems). I think "liberty" is less ambiguous.
I'd say open sores has the opposite problem. If something is "good enough", people use that (either the app or the code) instead of writing new, better code. Times change. Faster CPUs, more memory, multiple processors, threading, improved libraries, better algorithms, better security practices, better understanding of end requirements, etc.
Apple makes very little money from iTunes music sales. A recent analysis of their 1 billion downloads at the app store suggests that Apple's take was only 30-40 million. Yes, that's money, but not much (relatively) iTunes sales provides value (and lock in) but doesn't provide the kind of revenue you seem to think it does.
TeX and VBScript can have a contest to see which is the worst language. I love TeX's output, but the macro system is a piece of shit. Ask a programming-related question in the tex usenet group and more often than not, the answer is to pre-process it in perl, ruby, python, awk, or sed. The mouth/tongue/teeth/stomach macro system may be interesting from an academic standpoint (not unlike the goatse guy), but it's a failure in the real world.
You're ignoring the primary contests (mentioned above) between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, both democrats. Given a choice between two (more or less) identical Democrats, black voters overwhelmingly chose the black candidate. Women voters sometimes preferred the woman candidate, but not consistently and not by the margins seen with race-based voting.

What if someone breaks into your house and steals your computer? Is he a hero for showing how insecure your back door is?
The money in your wallet probably has trace amounts of cocaine, too.
if you have .net, you have the c# and javascript.net command-line compilers.
Java is not, by any reasonable standard, closer to LISP than C.
Let's look at the wankopedia page:
Influenced by: Ada 83, C++, C#,[1] Eiffel,[2] Smalltalk, Mesa,[3] Modula-3,[4] Objective-C
The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++ but has a simpler object model and fewer low-level facilities.
The syntax of Java is largely derived from C++
Not one mention of lisp. But what about lisp?
Newer languages such as Java and Python have incorporated some limited versions of some of the features of Lisp, but are necessarily unable to bring the coherence and synergy of the full concepts found in Lisp.
Of course, there's no citation for that.
Too bad OS X isn't multi-user. Too bad OS X doesn't let you password protect your account.
Flash forward 24 years, and fellow Keating 5 pal John McCain was less than impressive as a Democratic Presidential candidate.

look at libmad. It's an integer-only mp3 library.
SWEET! That's on my list of things to buy, right after a house.
I reflashed my nslu2 with debian. Memory is a little tight, but the specs are comparable to the typical 1997 era computer

debian has packages for firebird. Two in fact, classic (uses separate processes) and superserver (uses threads).

Why doesn't SQL server have BEFORE triggers? Or row-level triggers?

fallout 3 can't really count, being bethesda's story and design.

why not just type α or Î? (Unless you're typing up tex in slashdot, that is!)
You can use other fonts.

Trust me, you don't want an amateur sex change.
Scribd sucks, but generally their flash pdf viewer is faster than adobe's pdf viewer. Oh, shit! what if adobe rewrote their viewer in flash!@!@!!#1
Spell? Fuck, he can't count. Not the only time he's been confused by numbers.
