This is prompted by recent personal experiences. First, I just finished reading In the Beginning was the Command Line, which had been on my list since I first heard about it. Second, I just started reading Nicolas Freeling's novel One More River, when on page 38, I found a reference to Kipling's "Dayspring Mishandled", which I had just read, in the first volume of Kipling I have read in decades.
Why, in Command Line, did you persist in misrepresenting Microsoft's customers as the individual users, when their real customers are the computer manufacturers, whom they coerced into shipping (almost) exclusively Microsoft OS's by their pricing policy?
Announcing the launch of RHZ AMATEUR RADIO NETWORK
The RHZ Amateur Radio Network is a articipatory experiment aiming to create
the possibility of a legal, publicly owned and operated radio that grows
successively with each new participant. Based on the FCC allowance for individuals to operate a one milliwatt> > micro-radio station, RHZ uses the internet to share content between micro-stations so they can broadcast the same content at the same time. > > Anyone can have their own radio station, starting with a hobby kit as low as $30!
RHZ is designed to follow the parameters of FCC regulation, abide by
copyright law, and use only free open source software to distribute
information, while simultaneously allowing the broadcast network to grow to
the size of the social network that creates it.
Blending amateur technological experimentation and social activism, RHZ was
designed as project for REBEL REBEL project series for Leefahsalung at the
New China Town Barber Shop.

Time magazine has an article hinting that the new iPod has lots of hidden goodies... To quote the article:
"...internally the new iPod is a ground-up reconstruction, and its really compelling applications -- the ones that very well might get the goat of anyone unable or unwilling to upgrade -- are still secret. All that Apple is saying is that there's more to this than what's being publicized."
I have a much lower opinion of R.R. as president than you obviously do, but agree that as far as dead presidents go, he would make a vast improvement over the scumbag currently on the $20 bill. (I wouldn't say that about any other piece of U.S.A. money, not even the one with Salmon P. Chase.)
I once delivered some code to Time magazines's printers which caused some small portion of the halftone photographs in the mag to come out glitched(An off-by-one error when the number of rows was 3 mod 4, or some such weirdness). Luckily, the same release of software had compression code in it which allowed them to delay their photo deadline by a day, so I kept my job.(They were using 4800 bps lease lines back then, so transmitting pictures took a long time.
Of course, your post ignores the history of the past 40 years.
In 1964, Lyndon Johnson pushed the Civil Rights Act through Congress, and {effectively and eventurally} ceded the South to the Republicans. Since then, the segregationist Democrats have been leaving the party, and going to the GOP, bringging their racist supporters with them.
While these folk are by no means a majority, even in most Southern states, they are numerous enough and influential enough to command a lot of attention and wield a lot of power.
The ISS will be obsolete if this thing is built, and humans will ride the thing in massive numbers (stowaways if nobody else), probably to a geosynchronous city.
The guy meant 62,000 miles, because to keep the thing in orbit (and it is in orbit), and attached reasonably permanently to the same region on earth, the center of gravity has to be in geosynchronous orbit, about 25,000 miles out. Thus the counterweight has to extend quite a ways beyond geosynchronous orbit.
Unfortunately for the joke, Omega! = 1, given that Omega = 1, given that it's a probability.
(Given that the Omega we're talking about is Chaitin's Omega, and not cantor's transinite omega, which is an ordinal, not a cardinal.
Algol-68, Pascal, Modula-2, Oberon[-2], Component Pascal - all from Niklaus Wirth and colleagues at ETHZ (Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich), and its spinoff, Oberon Microsystems.
Interestingly, one of the founders of OMS, Clemens Szyperski, recently went to work for Microsoft Research.

Yes - Reagan and Bush shrank the deficits and eliminated the national debt.
Welcome, and thanks for all the books.
Do you have anything to say about synchronicity?

What the hell, try me...

Insightful, my arse.

"The proof by diagonalization is left to any high school Computer Science students in the audience."
Unfortunately for my point, HTML ate the <'s, so the Omega <= 1, and Omega! <= 1 came out looking rather stupid. Teach me to submit w/o previewing.

4 to 1 in favor of java.
But, what will it be like next year?

I'd have to go with More Than Human for the retro novel award.
Ha, Ha!
Has anybody submitted that phrase to the OED yet?
Take a look at the latest 10-Q for a slightly different perspective: 36% year-over-year growth.
