Exactly. Why keep a code library around when you can get paid to rewrite stuff which can be put together nearly in your sleep? It's a good way to start the day while I'm still groggy. Then I can get paid to debug it in the afternoon after I wake up.
If you think those are vicious then you should be really impressed: we have Republicans!

What I really want to know is does the localized version of Canadian Linux end all querries with , eh? Also given Canadian law regarding the dual language requirements, since Linux is not a product for sale does it still have to support Canadian French?
How about Iceland? No indigenous population to have been mistreated. The island was a way station for the life line to Europe in WWII. It has no nukes, no army, and no nemesis and no history of aggresion as a nation.
Awesome books. With out a doubt one of the best pieces of Fantasy ever written. It's not a rip off of Tolkein and it's not full of little furry things or bad jokes.
Death is eternity.
Eternity is stone.

Imperative programming is more intuitive and easier for people to deal with because that's how people live their lives.
I agree that functional and rules based programming does provide elegant solutions to many problems. However, being elegant or 'cool' doesn't cut it in the real world. From a corporate stand point the language has to be easily understood by many.
Also one can impose coding standards to make just about any language easy to read and follow the coded logic, but IMHO LISP isn't one of them.
It was an interesting exercise in my AI class to explore AI techniques in LISP. Many years later I decided that the domain space of AI type problems does not like exclusively in the realm of rules based programming languages and that in fact such rules based programming could be accommodated in C++ quite easily.
Yes, it's true. There are quite a few bosses out there which are either thoughtful or well informed. Ha!Had you going there.
I don't' know if there's ever been a study about the well known phenomenon that with in a short period of time after promotion to management the brain shorts out. Then these bad traits start to set in.

Maybe the fish really need limbs to use these things. Hm, sounds like they may have been involved in some sort of arms race.

Weak, just read it. It's only binary. I bet you use a compiler to write your device drivers. Real geeks key it in with cat con > driver! phf33r m3! please? pretty please, at least a little fear? Just so the kids don't laugh at me?
Yes it did, but this is obvioulsy such an important issue that I could not possibly be a joke. An intent aware protocol is vitally important in order to maintane our rights, freedoms, and security. In fact when the 'net develops awareness then all crimes which involve network traffic will be detected, solved, and ajudicated in 30ms or less or it's free.
Evil bits are always on the left side. Just look for the scar on the right side of the bit. Oh, that's twins.
Ok, ok, the evil bit is when the RIAA says anything. Oh, that's lying.
Hm, I can't really find an evil bit. I guess the OP should assume everyone is a lying evil scum bag and trash the whole world and let the courts sort it out.
ooh, RFID de-activated stun electrodes in the iPod head phones. You have to wear a ring or something with a tag in it (or in your eyebrows). When the iPod is on and not in range of the RFID tag it zaps!

I was not thinking of simply repressive governments but rather in the case where lots of hacking activity may be directed at important internet infrastructure. Or when the US is at war with a country maybe it would be best to cut off their internet capabilities.
A healthy distrust of government is in everybody's best interest. Indeed it is the foundation of the United States of America.
The point is the Internet is a US invention and all the infrastructure to run it are either in the US or are allowed to participate by permission from the US. If the UN wants an internet then let the UN build it. Other nations are justified to be warry not only beucase the US may decide to cut off a nation's access to the 'net but in some cases should cut of access.
It has been some time since I last wrote anything in LISP. So I have no idea what the modern updates may have brought. However, LISP is obviously not well suited to general programming tasks. Otherwise it would be more widely used. Out side of the AutoCAD, e-mac and the AI lab I have never seen it used anywhere else or even heard tale of it being used for anything else. I'm sure there are some who really like it and use it to solve problems. My problem with LISP is the syntax and the limited ways to get to list members. Last I say the only way to get to the 3rd element was a couple of cdr's and a car. What the hell is that? Maybe one can get to this element in a more elegant way now but I have since moved on.
What I don't get is that LISP heads don't accept that LISP sucks. Period. It's fine if you guys want to use something so obtuse and outdated and generally unhelpful. But don't tell me or anyone else it doesn't suck. Because then you're just lying.
I used it for a couple of college classes. I used lisp regularly to write macros as well in the AutoCAD lab were I worked for 3 years. I was very familiar with lisp you little toad. I've been writing code as a full time job since 1986. In that time I've used lots of computer languages like FORTRAN, COBOL, RPGIII, C, C++, Java, Pascal and several flavors of BASIC. All this while working for a bank, an insurance company, travel reservation company and now a wafer fab parts manufacturer. And yes I am very good at debugging code. My point is the syntax for LISP is not very friendly and there other was to get the same thing done. Lisp provides two major abstractions, One objects are strings with keyed attributes which may be employed to simulate any sort of structured object. Two, these objects are inserted into lists which may be manipulated in very abstract terms. C++ can provide everything LISP provides, all you have to do is write a list.h that defines a basic object class and a collection class to manipulate the objects with. The up side will be the syntax doesn't get in the way! How long have you been writing code full time ?
No, you use an object that has more than one value with a collection class.
Array[index].value or, gasp!.. Array[index].key! Yeah! One may have all sorts of collection classes and object to put in them and what not.
