This just in... Slashdot.org reports that Joystiq.com reports that Gamespot reports that TotalVideoGames.com reports that MTV reports that a public relations spokesman who was involved in the marketing for one of Rock Star games has claimed that he has full knowledge of future product implementation decisions.
CO2 output and CO2 concentration are two different things. Please don't confuse them in the future.
And, I really have no idea what the combined coal, natural gas, and petroleum consumptions have been through the years. Please cite the statistics that indicate to you that it has not significantly increased since "back then".
Wow. This is a bold line from the article: Carter does not pull his punches about Gore's activism...
Sweet. A quote from [Professor Bob] Carter [of the Marine Geophysical Laboratory at James Cook University, in Australia]. Now all they need is quotes from [Doctor Billy] Bush [of the University of Billings, Montana School of Land Management] and [Professor Greg] Clinton [of the Congolese Labratory for Primate Research], and the article would have quotes from every person qualified to criticise Vice President Al Gore's political qualifications.
Strangely enough this is from a website that is sporting anti-bush t-shirts, buttons, and bumper stickers
It also has floor-humping man and some really photos of Ann [Coulter of the Louisiana School of Trolling by Hideous Skeletor Transvestites]
Finally, there is my project (http://losak.sf.net) which is aimed towards keeping everything as simple as possible, but is also the least functional of the three options.
This is sweet. Thanks for the link.
BTW... I apologize for the earlier snark-post. It's difficult to take anything seriously on Slashdot, and this article was worse than most.
Garbage collection and virtual machines are two different things. Plenty of native code compilers include garbage collectors, and plenty of non-native runtimes don't.
Heh, I love it when I make write six painfully, obviously, and blatantly false statements in a row (and even go to the trouble of numbering them!) and some kiddie gets all happy when he discovers I'm wrong.
Slashdot contributors and editors have discovered that applying simple grammatical principles can significantly enhance their audience's comprehension of stories posted on the site
Or, my favorite:
Slashdot "editors" have discovered that they really could not care less.
Didn't we already do this with lisp, like 40 years ago?
No, because people who know Lisp also understand that "native code", "interpreted", "interactive", "virtual machine", and "low level" all share a "loose" relationship, but are not interchangeable ideas.
Do programmers feel that they are loosing - an arguably needed low-level - control when they do interpreted languages?
Could someone JIT this into english for me? What does "low level control" have to do with "interpreted languages"? And how is either related to native code and virtual machines?
Is he saying the elevator should have a "wait, that's not right, I don't want to go anywhere" button?
Yes, just like an escalator, all elevators should probably have a big red emergency "OMFG STOP!" button. Two floor elevators just don't need a "go" button".
Last time I was in school, an instructor suggested a performance enhancing drug... The drug is simply a protein-rich, non-meat snack. A handful of nuts, a protein bar, some yogurt;
Good news, cupcake... your boss will offer you the same snack during performance reviews.
What scares me more than terrorists, is the incompetences of our government. One more attack and they will have every exscuse to take more rights away...
This is true. One day, you wake up and realize that the government is so incompetent they can't even arrange and attack on their own soil. It's like the day you realized that Santa Clause, the Tooth Fairy, and Jesus are all just fairytales for children.
Even a few more attacks in the west would give American politicians power they can hardly dream of today. Their ineptness and inability in the face of such opportunity is astounding. It seems the best the politicians can do is gut and undermine any sensible security precautions, and then wait and hope for some thug or criminal to do their work for them.
Plainly, the US needs no assistance from Al-Queda to achieve police state status.
No, we definitely need al-Qaeda if we're ever going to achieve our goal of becoming a police state. In fact, if al-Qaeda didn't exist we would have to invent it.
(Note: the inept criminals and thugs who use terrorism to kill fewer people every year than falling coconuts are obviously real. A vast shadow network of islamofascist co-conspirators is imaginary.)

Is compiling Common Lisp NP? If it is, I'm guessing it must be a consequence of the macro system?
I'm sure it's possible to create languages where compiling interpreted code is NP.
But those languages probably suck.
I'll grant that the REPL is a defining feature of the Lisp development environment. Only simplest environments don't provide one.
BTW... I apologize for the earlier snark-post. It's difficult to take anything seriously on Slashdot, and this article was worse than most.
No, Lisp is not interactive.
Nearly all implementations include a REPL, but it's not a requirement.
Ha ha! The editors fixed the article, and now you look like a moran!

Noo... I think he meant the other lisp operating system.
Emacs.
And wtf is "loose"?
Do you suppose the button delays the start of the announcement, or increases its duration?
You should do tests.
