Sorry it wasn't clear. No it is Ruby implemented to run on a Virtual Machine. You write your Ruby code as normal and it gets compiled to byte code that run very fast. This is how Java is fast. Ruby can in principle be as fast as Java. Ruby is not inherently slow just the current implementation is somewhat slow.
Too busy to just google for 2 sec before spouting off?
Here is jRuby using java VM , Maglev using Smalltalk VM , IronRuby using MS.Net , or pure Ruby

I have high regards for Ashlee Vance and miss his Podcasts he did while he was at The Register. It puzzles me he included this old FUD chestnut. Seems like a throw back from the 90's.

Read Noble Laureate Michael Spence's famous article about Job Market Signaling
Once you understand the thinking of this article you should try and think about what signals can you send to potential employers. It has to be something that can not easily be falsifier and it has to have been "expensive" for you to achieve. Expensive defined as effort by you. Contributing meaningful to an Open Source project or something like that.
It is not that I didn't understand the concept of infinite. The point I was trying to make is that the idea of using infinite to illuminate something anchored in this universe is flawed, if not outright wrong.
Another poster made the point that every book ever written or that ever will be written is already embedded in PI, I think that observation elucidates the point equally well.
Your rebuttal in not needed as I can just look it up in e.
Not really. If you all the atoms in the known universe and make chimpanzees out of them and have them type from the start 13.74B years ago until now you would not have 1 sonnet.
You wouldn't even need Chimpanzees. You could just claim every book ever written or that ever will be written is already available. Just find them in the Universal library, holding all the permutation of letters and punctuations.
If you think the latter is silly you probably should accept the silliness of the former.
On your last point. Sure it would be better to have 2 levels of protection but 1 is better than none.
I don't get your point about Yahoo search. Can you elaborate. I use OpenDNS and I use Google as my default search engine. I switched to OpenDNS a few weeks ago and everything on my end works the same except for a small speed increase in page loading.
Just change your DNS to OpenDNS and you are covered.
OpenDNS monitors Phising sites and will not let you resolve to it. You don't need to sign up just use their nameservers at 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220.
It's free. If you sign up you get some additional cool features like blocking selected domain types Like Pron if that's not your thing.
Evolution is both Fact and Theory as is Gravity.
We can observe evolution is action (otherwise there would be no need to fear AvianFlu) and we can use the Theory of evolution to explain it.
Same with Gravity. Interestingly we do not really have a good Theory of Gravity despite most people treating it as a Fact. They stress the observable phenomenon over the scientific Theory of explanation. For Evolution it is the other way around.

Sure it is an issue. Apple designs their product differently than most companies. That's the reason we have this conversation. If you want a product that just adds features there is a gazillion to chose from.
Second. If they had included a power hungry 3G capabilities we would be having a conversation on/. about how crappy the battery life of the iPhone is.
It was not deliberately crippled. The current chips uses too much power and would make the battery life unacceptable. Google for more info and Jobs' comments on the subject. 3G with less power is scheduled for 2Q08 if I remember correctly.
If you have some innovative ideas. Head on over to IT|Redux and post them as a comment. It|Redux is the organizer of the Office2.0 Conference. This year they gave everyone an Iphone and had special applicatiions made to handle the conference. Next year they will design their own device and the process is on going. They have the money and smarts to do it well.
Because it would lower the cost of parts and maybe enhance the after market in general.
Cars are getting so reliable that the market for spare-parts for repair has almost vanished. Look at old movies and you will see auto repair shops on every corner. Except for specialty chains they have pretty much vanished.
The Japanese most definitely don't want to be in the "repair" business. It is labor / land intensive and bad for Image. Leave that to the US manufactures.
There would be little point in enforcing the GPL if no copyright existed. You would have all the rights to use whatever code you wanted or could get hold of. Traditional "stealing" would be a perfectly legitimate way.
I participated in this search and spend approx 10 hours looking at the pictures. It was strangely satisfying to do, like a meaningful scavenger hunt.
I later discovered Stardust@home using the same Amazon Mechanical turk technology.
You are helping the scientists find star dust particles in a aerogel. It takes 15min to qualify via a test but is it quite fun and as I said earlier strangely rewarding.

Fyi, When you buy something the depreciation done by the seller is of no consequence to you.

True but it is the fake names that are the greatest risk to the general public. If you see dotted Quad for a bank site it sticks out as fake.

Yes Way cool to kill 900.000 Armenians, lest we forget. I would rather have a few extra mosques.

Ballmer is the delusional second fiddle of MS as is Cheney the delusional 2'nd fiddle of the US government. Real problem is first fiddle in the latter
