At 9:13 AM two CPUs crashed into the Sears Tower, killing a dog when it tried to eat them. Terrorist organization al BM has declared that they were responsible for this horrible strike against the western world.
President William Gates III. has announced that the terrorists have been located "somewhere around Europe or something" and that two ICBMs (InterContinental Beowulf Missiles) with a payload of 32x4 GHz have been launched somewhere at Europe's general direction.
Our hearts are with the owners of Fido, who choked on the deadly weapons which crashed into the Sears Tower. Officials suspect them to be Pentium-type processors, but cannot say it before they have been retrieved from the dog's stomach.
The Sears Tower seems to be out of imminent danger of collapsing, but, as some random government suit said: "only a few hundred chips more and they might have smashed a window."
I other news, Apple Defense Systems (ADS) has just finished their new G2000 RISC (Really Incredible Stuff-based Computer) line of ultra-expensive and extremely hip weapons of mass destruction. President Gates has announced that the USA will be saving money for the next five years, hoping that this will generate enough money to actually afford an Apple-brand WMD (or iWMD, as Apple calls them).
This were the 11 o' clock news at 10, with Tejas Barton.
Me, I'm a LISP and Perl kinda guy. The guy sitting next to me likes C and PHP.
That would be me. By the way, there really should be PHP#. It would do anything C# does the same way C# does it, but you have to wrap the app in an <?> tag.
And while we're at it, we should add HTML#, TXT# and BMP#, the latter being a two-dimensional image language that makes Befunge look simple. The corresponding IDE would be Paint#.
3. make linux + Mono a real alternative to windows +.NET
Or, first make Windows + Mono/.NET the system everyone uses while embrace-and-extending.NET. That makes Windows + Mono everyone's favourite. Then some easy-to-use distros come preinstalled with some new PCs, with people using all their Win/Mono apps on Linux/Mono, thus making the Windows->Linux transition a lot more smooth than it is today, thus making Linux more attractive to tired Windows users.
I don't know in what kind of super-rich city you live in, but pretty much every city in the western world is lacking money even without having to pay people to keep every wall in the city clean 24/7.
I use an HTTP filter (the Proxomitron), which kept my internet free of banners, unwanted popups or browser-sniffing JavaScript on Windows and which runs almost 100% stable via Wine.
And if you are not comfortable running a discontinued HTTP filter via Wine I guess there has to be some FOSS app that does the same.
I do know that an HTTP filter is only a symptomatic relief, but it certainly makes browsing the Internet a better experience.
I've been using an Apache Win build for testing PHP scripts prior to uploading and I have only had good experiences with it.
Actually, I have no idea whether there is another free program like Apache for the casual Windows-running home user with need for a private web server. Every one* I know is running XAMPP or a similar Apache-with-everything-in-one-simple-installer.
Because the Apache is visible to lots of people who can bug-check it and who are interested in a stable, secure Apache because they use it. The IIS code is only visible to Microsoft programmers, who are not only far less in numbers but also occupied with lots of other stuff.
And a decade later everyone has the phone implanted directly into the skull, which means that spam hallucinations of 90% of all men having a below-average sized penis will no longer be Science Fiction.
So what? He says everyone and everything will have an IP address, everyone and everything gets an IP address. And I do think that using modern approaches would help goat farmers. While cattle://herd.abdul.net/goats/365/areyouthere might be sub-optimal, SQL might prove useful: SELECT * FROM `herd` WHERE `goat` =365
I believe that we should aim big - something that will last us several millenia will sure be a Good Thing. I suggest making every IP address 1 MB big, that gives us 2^8388608 addresses. I call this "IP vHugeNumber".
Hey, since no-one needs to remember numbers or addresses anymore there obviously cannot be any problem with having a 1048576-digit address or phone number.
The Merlin Roadster is also a three wheel drive, but not as ugly and has an ICE.
It has Intrusion CounterElectronics? I mean, okay, I don't want anyone to jack into my car, so that's probably a Good Thing.
Does it use Gray ICE or Black ICE?
Hey, I have perforated countless paper discs with a.22 rifle. There was a time when my.22 was the only thing between me and those bloody discs. Oh, the carnage... I sometimes wake up at night, covered in my sweat stained sheets, thinking of my time in the living hell that was the shooting club.
"Centimeters" is more consistent with the German spelling than "centimetres" is, so it's obviously yet another Commonwealth weirdness.
You can't argue with logic where none is used.

Plus, if the late software is being developed fast enough, it might actually get ahead of whatever it was trying to emulate in the beginning.

Step three: Profit.
Or, if you don't want to make your Win users install the proprietary QT Windows trial, you could try FLTK.
And then you fire a Cruise Misslie, hit the wrong country and get either Canada or Mexico really pissed.
As someone living in Europe, I'm all for it. Just let me get some popcorn before the show begins.
So... Have you ever thought about converting to iSlam? I hear their holy text is available in six different colors.
So it's Domains For Blood now?

No way, I'll hire someone to clean-paint ads onto my skin! I'll become rich!

Those marketing-drones really have no clue what they are talking about... vaporware can, by definition, not be installed.
Which means that indeed no vaporware is installed. The droids are obviously right.

And the equivalent to an anonymous mail account would be a fake finger with a generic fingerprint, probably involving some company's logo...

This thing has exactly the right size. I like this thing so much that I'll buy two. One for each foot.

your definition of every seems to be flawed.
But for very small values of "every", it would work.
And here I thought that this "magic number" was believed to be somewhere around 6 to 7...
