I still see horns. Tell Hellboy he has to file those babies ALL the way down. And take Hell out of his name. And boy too, sounds vaguely gay. And to only smoke cigars with tobacco grown in the Bible belt, no commie cuban stuff.
that's why he added "attitude jets" to the ringworld, and I'm sure the puppeteers gave their worlds similar nudges from time to time. Anyway, if there's not five planets around this fleeing sun, we can conclude the puppeteers civilization has evolved to the point where the waste heat was so great they had to leave the sun "behind"
let's change the trajectory of carbon dioxide and water containing asteroids to hit at a glancing blow to the martian surface. Add co2 eating microbes to this hot gassy mess. incubate and colonize.
you don't understand, a Windows machine only bluescreens when it crashes. But in OS/2, blue is THE DEFAULT SCREEN COLOR! If IBM had won the os wars with Microsft, our skins and our world would be bathed in higher frequency light. Thanks and praise to Bill Gates, who saved us from the blue of Big Blue.
finite universe theories have a finite number of non-virtual (non-QED) photons, and their nonzero relativistic mass (their energy divided by c^2) is part of the tally for known mass of universe.
the mass equivalent (relativistic energy over c^2) of all forms of energy are indeed taken into account when tallying up total mass of universe. Try a google on "percentage photonic energy universe" or similar pages on dark matter accounting.
These microkernels running services make much more sense on a processor with multiple cores - the main problem on a traditional "single-threaded" processor is there is way too much OS overhead 25-30% with the microkernel strategy, compared to a monolithic kernel. So in 5 to 10 years, as the HURD moves forward galacially like the plot to Dr. Who, this will be a good foundation for the new generation of processors.
should have added that's for the old CISC AS/400; the newer ones have popular and well know RISC chip that emulates AS/400 CISC to run a virtual machine
you can get books on administering an AS/400 at Borders or Amazons. OS/400 is the operating sytem. System 36 and System 38 are actual minicomputers that ran the SSP operating system. RPG II and RPG III and RPG 400 are compiled languages, they make assembler that goes to machine langauge. Interesting thing about the AS/400 is that the software is run on a virtual machine, the real machine language is a closely guarded IBM secret (keeps them stable and uncrashable)
having coded in both, I can tell you RPG-II or III is much more powerful than COBOL, there's like a 10 to 1 ratio of lines of COBOL to lines of RPG to do report writing or VSAM based file updates. It's like the Perl of the 60's, quick and dirty.
I just checked out the YAML spec. much less bloat than XML. Of course, the authors of the YAML spec went too far making things complicated, should have kept it simple, don't need all those types or mappings.
here's an even better Bill Gates interview. We could rephrase it thusly:
Bill Gates: "I love the smart communist government because they work people like slaves for little money or benefits; that would make me *really* rich. Let's do like they do"
we don't need a human-readable data format, we just need a format that is human readable with the correct viewing software. xml is a waste of resources: bandwidth, storage, processing.
the norm? funny, most countries I know of use degrees centigrade to report outdoor temperature, and 11 Kelvin (note not "degrees Kelvin") of change is 11 degrees centigrade of change. Kelvin are great for thermodynamics and cryogenics, but let's use degree C for our weather reports and rectal thermometers, please.
a bit early to tell if democracy will work in those places or not. You think there are more people dying per day in Iraq than under Saddam, or that the religious factions in afganistan never fought until now? You think more U.S. solders died in Iraq than in other places we've fought the last 100 years? It took the U.S.A. over a hundred years and more than a million casualties from 1770's to 1870 to even begin to move in the direction of having a free country, with another 100 years to get to basic civil rights recognized. Now 1,000 U.S. soldiers die, and dozens of suicide bomber deaths a week, and you're whining already?

by all means please share with us which country has trustworthy news media. Then prepare for numerous counterexamples!

your pc can run OS/400 and AIX? roflmao

-4 for me please, for offtopic, silly, and stupid

you realize of course she will take this as an (geeky) engagement ring. then you're down the chute and into the meat grinder, brother

Perl is awk & nawk & C & C++ & lord knows what else

I expect to sink full TTL loads on my $1 / hour / chip grid, none of this low power schottky crap, thank you very much.
I for one welcome our new funny-looking open source overlord
"Commonwealth" sounds vaguely socialistic and pinko; Maybe Bush should liberate it.

on the basis of percentage of wealth given away? Nah, remember the widow and the two mites?
in other news, ISPs are paid money by people who provide free wi-fi
isn't that a euphamism too, for what we're talking about, whether on either side or neutral, is Climate Change due to Man's Activiy?
