Real programmers write their firs compiler in straight machine-code, using a balloon, a carpet, and a copper wire to generate the 0s and 1s with static electricity.
Unix had this in 1962?!?!?
There were even GUI's in 1962?!?!?

What's that? No? Then shut up and think before you advertise your ignorance by posting such idiotic tripe.
I'm not sure you know the definition of a republic either, otherwise you wouldn't have included a constitutional monarchy like the UK in the ranks of republics...
Actually the book and film versions of 2001 were created simultaneously, and IIRC, the book was released soon AFTER the film...so 2001 wasn't "based on a book" in the conventional sense...
Chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes and we have 46. Doesn't that mean that we the genomes are at LEAST 4.167% (2/48) different? Then where did the 2% figure come from in the first place?
I realise that having less chromosomes doesn't mean that we dont ahve the same genes, which could be in different places than in a chimp, but doesnt this count as a "difference" too?
First of all tachyons are NOT by any means proven.
Second of all, tachyons don't "break" the speed of light. They go faster than light but CANNOT SLOW DOWN TO BE SLOWER THAN LIGHT.
Going faster than light is not forbidden, nor is going slower than night. It's ACCELERATING PAST the speed of light, whether getting faster or slower, that is forbidden.

You mean seppuku?
ummm....I believe you mean humpback whales. I cannot believe that I'm correcting a irrelevant star trek reference...

I for one don't run OSX and have no plans to, but I like to read about it. I don't mind having this on /.'s front page at all.
