Final proof, if proof were needed, that George W really does believe Star Trek is real. He's no doubt drafted the orders for this from behind his sofa, trembling in his ST pyjamas at the thought of Klingons coming for him and stealing his oil.
"But Perl also will remain a language with the diehard developer fans who are the impetus behind its popularity. "Personally, I'm hoping to get Parrot embedded into games and office suites," Sugalski said. "I for one would love to write my word processing macros and game scripts in Perl or Forth rather than in whatever hand-rolled language someone's come up with."
I think I'll buy it... It's time the war against the RIAA, SCO, and Microsoft became more than just a metaphor! Warn Redmond air traffic control to expect me soon...
I think it's important that the artist who makes a recording has a say in how it's used. This doesn't mean the record companies should stifle innovation, but it does mean that an artist has the power to for example stop his work being used in a way he finds repellant.
"Life affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes, and seeing them gratified. He that labors in any great or laudable undertaking has his fatigues first supported by hope, and afterwards rewarded by joy...
To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity."
"It seems to be the fate of man to seek all his consolations in futurity."
"Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords."
"the University of Iowa concluded males of the species were clubbing one another over the head, probably to win females."
Probably over drugs of some kind - the first fermented drinks perhaps - rather than females. Coincides with first domestication of the horse, and the first "ride-by clubbings", reported by Scrotal and Bawbag in their seminal 1979 study "Neanderthals In The Hood".
It's a long story. In the episode Cartman starts a christian rock band. Parallell to this the rest of the kids use kazaa to download some MP3's - they are shown the "error" of their ways by the RIAA, and that's where the quote comes from.
Dell trying to make an Alienware clone is frankly laughable, like Tom Jones in the subject line, or like your Grandmother buying skin-tight leather trousers.
As for the price... Even if I'd won the lottery I'd still think it too steep.
This site reminds me of South Park 709 - Christian Hard Rock. "Lars Ulrich's crying because he can't afford a new diamond encrusted limo for his wife."
In the UK we have Vodka companies launching advertising campaigns telling people to practice responsible drinking, it's only a matter of time before they start sueing us.
Perhaps when I'm lying on the ground in a puddle of my own piss, they'll sue me for "unauthorised distribution of our product".
As for the music companies, God help any hacker who contributes code to Linux while listening to a Metallica cd. I wouldn't put it past the Lizard Scum RIAA to take advice from SCO and sue... And if the RIAA don't get them the Bad Taste Police will!
I found the article interesting - other posters have pointed out that a lot of the ideas are not new, but in this interview they are stated concisely and clearly. The arguement that programming needs to be more intuitive seems like a no-brainer to me, and I was fascinated by the idea that the fault with OO programming is the very simplicity of concept which contributed to its growth.
What fascinates me most is this Easter-European prodigy's ideas on next gen languages. They sound like a toolkit capable of building a software representation of the human brain in all its complexity (and malice!).
What with these languages and nanotechnology, I'm beginning to think there's not much point in me paying pension contributions... We're all doomed.

Ebooks will never succeed until there is a way of reading them that is as comfortable, convenient, and cheap as a printed book.
E-book publishers fail to take into account the fact that for many readers books are an object of beauty in themselves - we love the smell, feel, and character of a well made book. As things stand I can only see one or two future uses for the medium outside niche markets such as computing textbooks.
1)Electronic versions of books included with the printed version in place of an index - with an html or similar interface for searching.
2)If some genius could come up with a device which stored ebooks on a drive, and which was capable of having an old book put in the top (to be pulped, recycled, then reprinted with the text of a new ebook and re-bound). Can't see this happening though!

I'm thinking of All Saint's cover of RHCP's Under The Bridge here, an aberration that should never have known life.

Typo - I meant $100
How much is a cartridge for one of these ink jet printers which can make these cheap RFID tags? Probably about $10o each.

You're right about the prices for printed books being extortionate though.
E-book publishers fail to take into account the fact that for many readers books are an object of beauty in themselves - we love the smell, feel, and character of a well made book. As things stand I can only see one or two future uses for the medium outside niche markets such as computing textbooks.
