...Might ask themselves whether the annual $650 billion military budget (fully half of the world's total military expenditure) might be better spent on things other than raining death on other countries.
Dijkstra: "FORTRAN --"the infantile disorder"--, by now nearly 20 years old, is hopelessly inadequate for whatever computer application you have in mind today: it is now too clumsy, too risky, and too expensive to use."
Probably this applies to most languages after they turn 20. Can you guess which one I am thinking of?

10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and maybe 10.4 was a series of releases where performance improved with each update. I don't run 10.5 so can't comment if the trend continues.
Because a country is on your embargo list, or in some random "axis of evil" compendium, does not make it an "enemy" of the US.
This may come as a surprise to many/. readers and, apparently, the ignoramus who wrote the article title, but it is true nonetheless.
Grow up and stop being paranoid, America. External enemies are for children lying in bed afraid of the bogeyman. The real enemy is within us, as you are as a nation - one hopes! - in the process of (re-)discovering.
This March deposition in Novell v. Microsoft is an insult to the court, the Law, and any intelligent reader. It's time they threw the book at this liar and thief.
And there's another neat thing I've been doing with WINE lately - run Win32 CLI tools transparently from Linux shell.
This is particularly handy for cross-building, as you can download Visual C++ Express Edition and get access to the x86, amd64, ia64 and I think even CLR toolchains. Eclipse makes a nice IDE for this, you can code, build and test for Win32 without Windows. (An all-free way to cross-build is of course MinGW.)
Theo is fine. In my personal dealings with him I found him also extremely competent and polite, and stimulating company.
This myth "Theo is an a**hole" is just people repeating what they've heard - cargo cultism, that geeks seem prone to. 999,999 times in 1,000,000 it's someone who's never even exchanged an email with the guy.
To trace this myth back to proximate origins - The mailing list spat that erupted around the forking of NetBSD made other people look much sillier than Theo, but in any case it's ancient history and Theo has long ago proved that he's an outstanding developer and leader.
The problem is that Alexandre Juliard, the project's dictator, often rejects patches with reasons that contain no useful feedback except the patronizing statement "you can do better", or "it's not right".
Ah, he must have gone to the same charm school as Ulrich Drepper.

You know, like schools, hospitals, roads, fire stations, police, ... and oh yeah, the manned space programme.
Thereby proving the "poorly" part of Henry Spencer's epigram. Cutler should have stopped at VMS.

As described in Dennis Ritchie's The Evolution of the Unix Time-sharing System.
"Unix is not just an OS. It is a culture." Sounds familiar.
Well, the keys are right next to each other...
By the way, the research paper describing G1 is here.

This list is bullshit (as I knew it would be).
They have only token support for Linux anyway. Where's the Creative Suite?
Like me, they're probably sick of US dumbassery.

They're all made up.
And reading between the lines, I'd say the question has come up once or twice between dgcaste and his brother-in-law :)
Stop doing what made you a target in the first place. This means, inconveniently, undoing:
Good luck.

Any day I don't boot Windows is a good day!
Hi, can you contact me privately if you're interested in getting my plugins ported to 3.0 on IRIX (assuming it supports plugins)?
