It's quite all of the languages mentioned were 'safe' languages to a great extent (perhaps moreso than Java), but the reason why C succeeded was an accident of history - it was running on a PDP-11 (before that, its predecessor), and was highly portable. UNIX succeeded precisely *because* it was portable, and C was a package deal with UNIX.

I think that it seems more likely that someone will licence the Cell and replace the G5 core with an x86 core. And I don't see anything wrong with that; it's the normal way to do things:)
So, I think that you'll find that this is about the embarassingly parallel stuff - compilation, for instance, could be implemented on the cell. So what might happen is compilers compile targeting an x86 or G4/5 with APUs attached. All in all, I think that we'll need some pretty sweet compilers for this cool stuff:)
You'll find that Evolution provides connectivity to OpenGroupware.org, Groupwise, OpenX-Change, and yes, Microsoft Exchange. This in fact makes it remarkably vendor-neutral, in my opinion.
Cheers,

Sure - try this search (GNU Fortran)... You can get G95 (for FORTRAN 95) or G77 (for FORTRAN 77), which is in the main GCC tree. Note that FORTRAN 95 support is incomplete; There is no complete open source compiler for FORTRAN 90 nor is there one for FORTRAN 95; from the project pages, though, it seems it probably has most of what you want. There are two frontends for F95: G95 and GFortran. G95 seems the most complete, but then I suppose that's what you get when you quote real results!
No, "inflation" in the context of "the inflation of prices" is quite definitely a noun. I can apply an adjective to it ("the *artificial* inflation of prices"), I can use the definite article, etc. Having a look at your dictionary.com entry, they even say so themselves, because if you hadn't noticed, they have only an "n" underneath it, not "n" and "v.t" (transitive verb) underneath it, and the context "inflation of prices" is an example of the first usage. It refers to prices being pumped up, i.e. inflation. (Just saying "inflation" without "of prices" gets you the second usage). In any case, the fact that there is of refering to inflation tells you something - it is a noun. That is to say, it refers to a condition which pertains to prices (Think genitive case if you've done German or Latin). If you've ever studied other languages, you'll know what I mean; adding -ion to a verb (inflate in this case) gets you a noun refering to that verb, much like in German capitalising a verb and use the neuter definite article gets you a noun. Magnification is not a verb - magnify is the verb. Adding -ion in English is certainly not like adding -ing.
No, no program involved. I'm merely smart enough to know what I'm on about, thank you.
No, no, no: "...inflation of prices" is certainly not a verb. Doing a semantic analysis of, for instance, "Due to the inflation of prices in the minerals sector, we must charge more for our whitegoods." gives "inflation of prices" as part of a subordinate clause.
No, I'm fairly certain that 'l' is the 0th character.....

Fresco is about this, and I think that this would be an excellent solution. After all, I'm pretty sure that something like that could actually run over my modem, and still have enough bandwidth to look at/.:)
But I'd say that if they publish the standard openly (i.e. not under NDA, free of charge, w/o discrimination against any group, like the M$ CIFS/SMB papers or alternately, submit it to Government body who publishes it similarly), then it is open. IF on the other hand it is found that it did NOT comply with the standards after someone tried to implement it, they would be liable to pay a levy of 20% to cover their dishonesty.
Quite a valid point... maybe it might be possible to set up an LDAP store, and store a key encrypted with a key encrypted with the sysadmin passwd... Would that work? (i.e., the sysadmin can recover your key for you)
Well... for BIOS updates, I use a bootable CD (hand-crafted, using some DOS), and get it to connect to the network - Map the [software] drive, and ya got it!
Perhaps you should become an Australian citizen, sir:), because we get fined if we don't vote, and yes, we do have some people that cast informal votes or donkey votes...
So yes, people do try to spite the system, but remember that employers are obliged to pay you the 1/2 hour or so that it takes to vote:)
Yep, quite easy to get a kernel to panic, just write a shit module, insmod as root and bingo!
Although I struggle to see why you want to do this, I mean, it doesn't give you a blue screen, just a black one, although the keyboard lights flashing is cool:)
Don't do tasksel, just grab the bare minimum using dselect, or just say go go go when u see dselect, and then apt-get aptitude and finish it off:). I use aptitude and it's *streets* ahead of tasksel *and* dselect:).
Look at Synaptic in Debian... or Mandrake Update in Mandrake. I think that handles the update... however, you're right about installers, but I think Mandrake's installer is fine, if we make an ncurses version of that, we'd have a reasonable text-mode installer too (which we can port to deb, or anything else:) ).

In fact, Copyright law is all that it really uses, all of the rights it grants you are *in addition* to what Copyright grants you.
:)
In contrast, Copyright does not forbid me from reverse engineering a product; the contract for that software does.
Have a nice day!

Well, as an Autralian citizen, I must say I'm very disappointed. I'll complain to my local MP straight away.
Thank you for telling me about this, I wouldn't have otherwise known.
