We've all heard the story of Microsoft's battle cry of "DOS ain't done till Lotus won't run"
From the article:
Kapor was kind enough to put me in touch with some old Lotus people he knew. And they all corroborated the story: "It's an interesting myth, and one I've heard about in general terms, although I've never heard the specific quote before.
The build system is an intricate network is shell scripts and recursive makefiles.... I'd love to replace it; I've gone out actively looking for something better --- and I've failed. Any suggestions?
You can of course specify the build commands individually for each target. However you can also make per-target modifications to implicit rules using e.g. '+=' syntax (you are using GNU make, aren't you?)
You'll need to run the.d files through some heavy scripting, but you can get them to behave in the presence of generated files
The mobile networks are disabled to public numbers, to prevent remote detonation.
A very common misinterpretation. In emergencies, mobile networks are reprioritised for emergency workers, at the expense of ordinary people and (one might say especially) journalists.
The disk is continuously under solar pressure. This "disk" is essentially acting as a solar sail!
Solar pressure is just another inverse-square force, just like gravity. It will move the apparent Larangian point for an affected body towards the sun. But it won't completely destabilise the orbit.
The danger here is that the darn thing will carry all of these systems and have no capacity left over for payload.
Most rocket-only launch systems are multi-stage, most notably the Saturn V but also the Shuttle.
Part of the reason is that bell nozzle rocket engines are most efficient only within a limited altitude range. One viable SSTO (Single Stage To Orbit) engine is the aerospike, however NASA canceled Lockheed Martin's aerospike project, the X-33, a few years ago. There are other such projects.
But back to scramjets - a launch system including jet stages might still require multiple engines, but would likely carry less oxidant and fuel.
The type checking is much weaker than what? It is perfectly strong at runtime.
Verifying the correctness of any program in any Turing-complete language is in general impossible
The reusability "argument" of OOP is rubbish too.
The abovementioned problems are nonsense and as such create nothing. In addition, the banking sector is not universally regarded as sensible.
You must be thinking of C++ templates which are (1) Turing complete and (2, coincidentally) are a significant burden to the compiler and linker. Java's generics are neither. They are a simple syntactic sugar for type casting. C++ with templates is still LALR(1)/Context-free/Chomsky type 2. Chomsky hierarchy has nothing whatsoever to do with secure correctness checking. If a language is Turing complete, there is in general nothing you can prove about it's programs.
In my limited experience with Lisp's authorities, they encourage much and discourage little. Provide a citation please.
If you had bothered to read the article. You would discover that there is no reporting mistake. All of this is very clearly spelled out in the article.
I have this theory. We point out mistakes here, and the BBC reporter changes the article. Let's try again shall we? Quoting the BBC:
The object is about 570 km across, making it one of the largest bodies of its kind found in modern times.

So-called researchers at Slashdot.org recently created the densest dupe plasma ever observed.
"We have been duplicating articles and injecting them into the website at ever-increasing speeds", CmdrTaco stated. Our user community is having incredible trouble keeping up with the load, he added.
"We duplicate an article, boost the hype up to about the level of Iraqi WMD propaganda, and fire it at our readers". The community then injects a steady stream of complaints, boosting the tedium to mind-numbing levels.
Not all Slashdotters were so enthusiastic. "It's old news", said one. "They managed five in one day last April. I think they're scraping the bottom quark of the barrel with this announcement."

Virii is still completely silly, so don't do that; otherwise, everyone will know you're just a blathering script kiddie.

The object is about 570 km across, making it one of the largest bodies of its kind found in modern times.570km (350 miles) isn't all that big for an EKO. 2003 VS2's actual size is 904km (561 miles).
All objects in 3:2 orbital resonance with Neptune are classified as plutinos, after the largest known such object, Pluto.
So that's what happens when you plunge a plutonium-powered space probe into a gas giant...
