You're operating under a fallacy. It ceases to be only "your" work when you release it for public consumption. At that point it becomes part of our(I mean the inclusive sense) culture.
Yes, I hear that air superiority went quite well for you at Pearl Harbour in World War II.
Us didn't have air superiority in the Pacific Theater until much later than Pearl Harbour, so it's hard to see how PH is relevant.
Vietnam where you were sent running with your tail between your legs after suffering thousands of casualties. Very successful in Korea too I notice, I mean, North Korea is a nice friendly nation now thanks to America's success their right?
Korea was a UN action. And yes, I think the millions of South Koreans would call that one at least a partial success (alas NK still exists).
How's that air superiority going in Afghanistan and Iraq by the way where your soldiers get slaughtered by men in cloth dresses with rifles that are about 35 years old and about as accurate as a blind man with a water pistol?
Works pretty damn well actually. Ambushes don't require high accuracy, but you don't see the Taliban with large convoys very often now do you? You also have a strange definition of "Slaughtered". Usually that means you're taking significantly more losses than the other side, which I don't see happening
I hear your air superiority worked great over New York on 9/11 also!
Yes, because air combat is sooo comparable to shooting down unarmed airliners full of your own citizens.
WWI was at a stalemate before US entry, WWII would NOT have been won by the British and the Russians without US help (Look up lend/lease)
About all it's won was the Pacific campaign of World War II but even that was only because the Russians covered it's arse in defeating Germany
Hardly. Russia was getting arms from the US via the Barents passage, and the Pacific theatre turned to the Allied/American side in mid 1942 at the battle of midway. Russia didn't start roudnly kicking ass until Early 1943.
and because it had vast amounts of allied support to the West of Japan in China and from the South from Australia etc.
Not really. The British empire was handed it's head on a platter by the Japanese, mostly because most of their Naval assets were needed in the European theatre. India they managed to hold at large cost, but Australia was in real danger of being invaded. That worry didn't go away until Guadalcanal was taken. The support definitely helped, but the brunt of fighting was on the Americans in the pacific theater. Japan still held large portions of China when they surrendered.
In fact, what wars has the US won by itself in the last century?
I hope none. If our closest allies think we're so idiotic as to not assist us that's a _bad_ thing
I'm not sure it's actually won any, even in the first Iraq war it needed massive amounts of allied support. Look at the forces arrayed, overwhelmingly American. But unlike his brain damaged son, senior had at least heard of international relations.
That's a stark contrast to European nations like say, Britain that unilaterally sent the Argentinians running back home in the Falklands for example.

The function is tail recursive (or could be if your language requires the sum+n to be n+sum). Hence most interpreters/languages will convert it to a jump.
Recursion more closely embodies the Series representation of the sum.
Good. Asking someone to pledge to a flag is stupid. America has _never_ been about pledging allegiance to the flag OR government, but only the people. Assumedly the constitution comes from the people, hence why we ask soldiers, and government officers to protect it. Depending on how much you believe that assumption valid you may or may not find that acceptable.

Because In order to execute two instructions in parallel neither instruction can depend on the other's result.
If all you've got is an incoming instruction stream, it's very difficult to determine which operations you can execute in parallel, and which operations depend on each other. The application programmer, however, is able to choose algorithms and methods that support parallel execution, or, at a minimum, specify where the parallel parts do depend on each other, and where they do not (this is called synchronization).
Sorry, I should have been a bit more clear. Authorization is easily forged compared to say a really large random number space.
As far as authentication being a weak capability, the address of the machine represents the object, under authorization the action(s) you can perform are the challenges + your responses.
I think what you may be overlooking is this fundamental question.
What's the difference, to a computer, between me, and a program which acts _exactly_ like me?
The answer is: none. Therefore the dichotomy between users and processes is, from the above perspective, false.
It has already been well established that you can "clone" processes. The combination of the two makes "identity" a relatively useless concept.
Alternately you can view "authorization" as an easily forged (read useless) capability.
Concatenate the address of the machine, the questions, and the responses into a single entity, and you have a location, and the ability to perform an action. IE, a capability.
I'm 99.99% sure that the wav files he was talking about were simple 16/44KHZ PCM files. Saying you don't like the quality of wavs is pretty damn analogous to saying you don't like CDS. Granted, there is track info, etc, but the sound files have a simple header difference. I personally, have never seen a compressed wav file in the 12 years I've been using them. Encoded at lower quality yes, but not compressed.
No real difference? The package management and most importantly PORTS aspect of freebsd rock my world. especially ports w/ cvsup. Additionaly BSD's rc.conf makes a bit more sense to me. I have never had a problem with documentation of FreeBSD. I have found that a good number of questions can be found in the handbook and if not, a simple google search usually gives very good results. I haven't used my BSDs in a firewall configuration very much, mostly as servers, so you could very well be correct as far as that goes. Though I welcome any BSD gurus to provide any insight.
When I was a freshman I started running servers for me and my friends (and about 30 other users). This was mostly an experimental network, for my, and other's learning purposes. I started out using slackware (which is STILL the only linux I will use) on all of my servers. This did work well, until Netatalk stopped working with the latest version of slack (I think they changed TCPWrappers and NetaTalk hadn't cought up yet). I then was forced to move to FreeBSD. I will never, ever, ever go back. System Admin under BSD is silky smooth and DAMN fast. The way I think about it is that BSD has had 30 years of lazy system admins working on it. Linux has a few years to go.
I suppose it was just asking to much to attach your resume as a word 2.x file? The WP I knew could do that and every version I've seen of Word can open it.
Why don't you do what we used to do in the olden days? A bunch of schools get together, buy one of these, then timeshare? It's even more feasible now that we are not linked via 56K leased lines. At least I hope you're not. That would be sad. Very, very sad.
