I don't know whether or not is was the last gasp of a tiny, dieing terrorist organization making a final bid for relevancy, but destroying two of the tallest building in the world, in the most populous and richest city in the richest country in the world demanded violent reprisal.
In the form of an openly aggressive foreign invader crushing local militaries, overthrowing governments, and slaughtering civilians.
$55k is 1/3 - 1/2 of a year's pay for a programmer (outside of Silicon Valley, anyway).
Up to $55K, shared between the top two contestants.
I mean, maybe if it's a horrible rat's nest of cross-cutting side effects that requires rewriting the entire program, then sure, that could be a tall order.
Mid-1980s Fortran was F77 (with maybe some ANSI or DEC language extensions). It's gonna be pretty messy.

What gives you the idea that criticizing Mandarin and ignoring Russian means that I'm defending English?
Exactly. The "Big Two" European languages are German and French, and Poles, Swedes, Czechs, etc are going to learn German before French...
Mandarin/Cantonese and Arabic are complicated languages which are wholly unsuited to keyboards.
And Russian... why in the world would we want to speak Russian?
Cow says, "eat mor chikin".

You're conflating Afghanistan with Iraq.
Any operating systems written in Ada? (Of course, all the libraries and applications would have to be written in B&D languages, too.)

over throw the government or some such nonsense." (This was before 9/11/01)
9/11 falls under "or some such nonsense."
or something parallel like this
Maybe they expect FUN3D to be parallelized for $55K. lol
Hahahahahahaha.
What compiler is used on Pleiades?
So tax corporate incomes
Like Apple's? We know how well that's worked...
Sure, you had IBM equipment tied in to the school IBM mainframe. The PDP-8 wasn't a mainframe.
The revenue generated by the income from those 250,000 government employees.
but we tax personal income, which will go away, so some replacement tax has to pay for it.
Defining "robot" is going to be the (really) tricky part.
Good for you. The thought of connecting a 2741 to a PDP-8 still is cause to strike you from the Nerd (Computer) List.
Connect an IBM 2741 to a PDP-8L? Hah!
Turn in your nerd card immediately.
I follow literally hundreds of websites ... using it, and I can churn through it all in maybe twenty minutes
Then you don't really follow hundreds of websites, journals, and blogs.
1) Yay for pervasive CCTV!
2) A computer nerd that can't figure out how to automate a web post isn't a true computer nerd.
Spanning oceans was the first thing I thought of.
Only in (one form of) dysfunctional political systems.
Which is better: promising 3 years and launching in 8, or promising 7 years and launching in 8?
when they do get non-blondes, they are usually HOT!!
The ones on Red Eye sure did melt steel. (Now that I've googled "Andrea Tantaros", I do recognize her.)
I have no idea who Andrea Tantaros is.
Delays aren't caused by "space is hard"; they're caused by planners not internalizing that "space is hard" and so creating too aggressive schedules.
No, that's not the real question.
