The blood would only boil if exposed to the outside. What is never mentioned is that the
body itself would keep the blood under pressure at least for a while so it wouldn't be a simple case of bubbling in the veins , it would be a far more unpleasent case of blood leaking out from all orifices THEN boiling.
Remember that at most the pressure difference between inside and outside the body can only ever be 1 atmosphere which is equivalent to a a scuba diver coming up from a 30 foot dive too fast. Yes it'll case problems but no the body won't explode or anything like that.

Yaaawwwwwnnnn.... Personally I just listen to what comes out of the speakers , not jerk off over the specs of setups that will make me go deaf. Audio equipment is a means to an end, not an end in itself.
"and 2) nobody can use them properly because they are programming languages, not markup code (and poor markup code was enough of a problem, but at least that just made the page look funny)."
Correction: WEB coders can't use them properly because they're not really programmers, they're a bunch of glorified graphics designers promoted way above their abilities. Ask them to move out of their fluffy world of graphics and images and oh-so-cute poing-n-click created flash movies and get them to do some REAL programming (network coding, device driver writing, OS hacking etc> and they'd sink faster than a brick in a force 12.
I think its a fair bet that the general public couldn't give a rats arse. Even if they've heard
of SCO "unlikely" they'll probably be about as interested in that as they are any MS legals actions. Lets face it , as long as Joe Sixpack can surf his pron sites and Granny can send email to her friends in her knitting group they really don't give a stuff about anything that happens in the computer world.
After all , that was a simple yet powerful language for children losely based on LISP.

Err, how does hydroelectric or solar power pollute then? (Other than initial pollution

Using the plus operator to add floats and ints is not really an example of overloading since all C does is cast the int to a float then do the addition. The result then gets cast (read chopped) to fit in whatever variable its being
assigned to. Something that always fools new programmers to C is that you can do something like:
mystring = "hello" + "world"
They believe that the + is adding two strings whereas in fact C has just taken the memory addresses and passed the numeric values to plus. So in C IMO it would be better to say maths operators do implicit casting rather than overloading.
"I think the things we do are quite a bit different, and larger applications allow us to do this. For my job, I develop a java app that is about 200MB installed and uses a minimum of a half gig of memory. I could constrain it to use a lot less memory without an excessive amount of effort, but it'd be more difficult to develop in, and it'd run more slowly...so I tell ops to buy bigger machines. What does a gig of core cost these days?"
That has to be the saddest most pathetic statement I've ever heard. If people like you are writing most of the software today its no wonder its a load of bug ridden bloated shit. And the cost of a gig of core isn't much if you're only going to run ONE application. But what if the machine has to run literally hundreds of processes at once? Let them have a gig each?? I don't think so. I think all you've shown is that you only work in the toy programming arena of the desktop. If you ever got a job programming for servers you'd be FORCED to make your bloatware more efficient or you'd be getting your pink slip PDQ!
"The second problem is, that the work nazi seems to be common to much. Seems like you guys dont know what nazis really were.

Blah blah fucking blah. I live in London pal , this city was almost bombed flat by nazis 50 years ago so don't try and play the victim with me ok?
"So dont protect these asshole by calling people nazis cause they are concerned about security on their and others computer"
I'll call them what I damn well please when they want to force ME to use what THEY think is right on MY computer. Verstehen sie??
Telnet is fine for connecting to text based applications that dont need or care too much about security. Try debugging a mail
server using ssh for example. Its also useful for doing "under the hood" stuff such as directly connecting to a web server to check what its running on etc. Plus don't forget MUDs, Talkers, MUSHes etc who really arn't too concerned about accounts getting broken into and whose admins
simply don't have the time (or skills?) required to implement the ssh protocol. And why should they? There should be a choice and we shouldn't allow security nazis such as yourself to dictate what people use on their own machines.
Yeah , net connected storage space is really useful in places where theres no net connection like uh , in your car , in a train , on a bus , on a plane, out walking/cycling, at work if they restrict internet access. Yeah , net storage is just soooo flexible. Still , I guess if you're some pasty faced lard bucket who never leaves his front room couch then its probably ideal.
Its easy to call someone a dunce when posting under the coward account isn't it?
Newsflash , theres no such thing as "natural rights" so why don't you take your hippy philosophy and go back to your commune. Your "Rights" are what are enshrined in law in whatever given country you're in whether you like it or not. You don't like that? Tough shit pal. Deal.
Some people just have a hard time understanding the difference between physical entities and
written works. *sigh*. Its quite simple Mr argoff really , try and pay attention: If you sell
someone an orange you've grown they can't go and make 100s of copies and give them to their friends. However thats EXACTLY what they can so if you given them a piece of code or an image etc etc. Since a writer has no physical protection for his work there must be LEGAL protection , and that is copyright law. If someone wishes to give away their work under the GPL or whatever then good for them. If however someone wishes to make money out of it and illegal copies would prevent this then why on earn shouldn't there be some sort of law to help them? Or are you simply yet another member of the "profit = baaaad , free = gooood" movement that seems based around some hippy ideas that were proven drivel 30 years ago and are only believed by naive dopeheads and RMS these days?
"No more waiting for it to boot up , just turn in on...".
Hmm , you mean like a commore 64, vic 20 , spectrum or any of a dozen other 8 bit computers that had everything in ROM before hard drivers became popular? I agree.:)
Agreed. I see no reason why a person should be forced to upgrade simply to keep some companies profits in the black and pay out huge dividends to shareholders. I'll upgrade when *I* want to , not when some overpaid suit thinks I should.
I was running Linux on a 486 until 2 years ago when the motherboard died. It did everything I
needed at a perfectly acceptable rate even running mpegs under xwindows. This constant ungrade cycle for PCs is simply because Windows is such a badly written piece of crap it needs virtual supercomputer MIPS to run at any acceptable speed.
"If you are writing an OO program, you shouldn't leave chunks of procedural code lying around..."
Rubbish! Objects are PART of a program , they don't dictate the entire design of it! Obviously you've been spoon fed OO since you started coding and have no idea of any other paradigm. Your above statement is as absurd as saying that no program that uses structures should use any standalone integers , chars etc and using human languages as an analogy is flawed because that is equivalent to saying that you shouldn't mix C and Pascal in the same program file which everyone would agree with but isn't the point you're trying to make.
When i said everything-could-exist i was refering to everything allowed by the laws of physics.
Even taking this restriction into account there is still no guaruntee that a copy of you or I has existed , exists or will exist somewhere else in the universe simply because the universe is infinite because they are an infinite number of other states the universe could exist in that do not include you , me or anyone on this planet being duplicated.

Err , excuse me? Are you seriously suggesting that MUD admins should grant all players a unix
account on the box the MUD runs on? Get real!

Thats easily solved - drive a manual rather than an automatic (which lets be honest , were designed)
for old people and the terminally lazy.

Makes a change from seeing that ugly bloatware called Perl used for everything under the sun.
Here in the UK you can find oblong ones all over the place though generally they're for utilities
not entry to the sewage system.
Guess I won't get a job at MS for being a smartass. Oh well. Guess it'll be using slackware for

C++ instance methods ARE callable from C but only if you know the mangled name beforehand. Pointless but possible.
