IMHO it's "very practical", in the sense that how practical can strapping your ass to a 200-hp gas engine with two washing machine-sized rotors really be?
You're aware that 400 AD is in the 5th century, right?
Don't you mean 401 AD is the 5th century, since this non-technology-savvy counting starts with 1? I believe we did this to death back in the years 1999, 2000 and 2001 and then some.:)
I reviewed and gave feedback on an early draft of this book for Chris (as did a lot of people at my previous place of employement), and I'm a long-time Ruby fan, so I may be biased, but I really recommend this.
Me and my wife went through about half of it together, and she really did seem to get a lot more understanding of what it is that I do as a programmer. (She isn't much of a techie despite we met on IRC, so she isn't scripting for her self just yet.) The book is a fairly good fit for the early teens, doesn't fly a lot of tech jargon over their heads and isn't condecending either.... now if you'd pair this with an insane Ruby book from whytheluckystiff, you've got a dynamite combo that will never be boring.:)
...we serve up some slushie to the green little Martians, giving them a major brain-freeze (with their oversized heads and brains) which they of course consider an act of war. Que the invading and the probing and the running and the screaming...
...but it was started by two comedians, mostly as an elaborate joke I hink. They called it "The Political Party" and almost all the representatives were known Norwegian comedians.

Now Toribash that's a real nano-manly way to die!
by giving Yahoo! access to this, so we don't have to wait for them to create their own version...
I'm not sure how alive and well Paid Inclusion (or whatever it is called nowadays... is it "Search Submit" now?) is at the moment, but they have had solutions for ensuring timely updates and ensured inclusion the their index for some time now. Commercial solutions, but still.
So I have a hard time imagining Yahoo touching this particular piece of Google technology any time soon... Unless they can assimilate it into the commercial offering.
but the telecom industry would laugh at any company who would try to bring 1 second delays to market.
They won't necessarily be laughing all the way to bank, that is for sure. There are usages where the delay are less of an issue and if the cost savings are low enough, that laughter will leave a bitter aftertaste. This might turn into one of those "only five computers worldwide" retrospective quotes...
...after all, how often do you get a full one second in edgeways talking to relatives on the phone?
"Founding father of Trustix Secure Linux" (the linux distro) does not equal "Founding father of Trustix" (the company). (Apologies to Erlend if I have my facts wrong.)
IIRC, Trustix basically used TSL as an underlying open source platform for several other commercial products. I.e. "Let's sell an easily configured [insert service here] on a Linux box. Hmm, what distro to chose? Let's make our own." So TSL was a by-product of the original company, AFAIK. Kinda like Trustix the company was selling cars, while Tawie is just selling the innovative, highly tuned engine that was used in those earlier mentioned cars. Tawie can pick up TSL where they left off because of the GPL, but not so with the commercial products.
Not the same company, not the same business model.

Should go great with the SUV crowd then.
You've never been beatten up by a twelve year old girl, have you? Say, while testing for my yellow belt. Err, your yellow belt.
That is actually a hell of a lot less embarassing than beating up a twelve year old girl, testing your orange belt...
We're still all waiting to see the BSOD in action before we're convinced it is Windows alright. :)

You didn't call him a monkey by any chance?
Oh wait, a Libertarian, not a Librarian.
