But the usage of pointers will be relegated to compilers and system programming, since the speed benefit of low-level languages has long been outweighed by high-level language features... right?
Sure, there are lots of pointers in automatic memory managment, some systems more than others. But you only have to optimize those routines in the compiler/vm.
Or will people keep insisting on writing io/event-bound programs in C.
My program sits in a wait state for 100ms every minute. Thats twice as fast as yours! Look at my elite C-struct programming skills!
These same core measurements allow us to determine the average global surface temperature.
You might be surprised that the corresponding graph varies significantly.
You might also be surprised that the time-averaged global surface temperature is around 20 degrees warmer than it is right now. In other words, the Earth is on average a much warmer place than it is now.
Finally, you might also be surprised that these variations happened entirely without the influence of industry for millions of years.
For myself, I find the fact that people think man is causing global warming rather than simply being along for the ride very funny.
People are arrogant. People think their in control, but they are really not. News at 11.
Actually, infinity minus infinity is not well-defined. In fact, for any extended real number you choose (which includes +/- infinity), I can show you a sum/difference of inifinities equal to that number.
And you are correct: there can be bounded infinities, depending on your point of view. For example, see the one-point compactification of the real line. http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Compactification.html. In some sense, it all depends on your definition of distance.

The fact that earth is warming is undisputed. Until someone explains this, I don't believe in man-driven global warming.
Only this. In the face of this, I agree the earth could be a on a long term (ish) warming trend, but I doubt man's role in it.
Well, there is always erlang.
I'm kind of surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
And to add further, the term Theory of Evolution is misleading the lay person.
Evolution happens, it is an observable fact. We observe speciation all of the time.
The theory part is speculation on the mechanism by which evolution occurs, not whether or it actually happens.
But your argument does not make light of the fact that:
So, the idea (like others have said) is to transport the energy either via the cable itself, or via sharks with freakin' lasers.

But I don't like subsidizing the healthcare of members (of the human race) who would otherwise be removed by natural selection.
