If they prefer to fight for freedom over slavery even if believe that they'll lose, why not call themselves Spartacists? They could even wear crosses, as Spartacus was crucified. And yes I know that some socialists such as Rosa Luxemburg called themselves Spartacists.
Sure, *numerical* integration is a fucking doddle. Draw a bunch of rectangles, find their areas, sum the lot of them together.
But numerical differentiation requires even fewer operations. Take two values of the function "near" the desired x value, evaluate the function, take the difference, and then divide by the difference of the two x values.
Yes, I believe integrals are far easier than derivatives. If you believe integration is difficult, then it is you that needs to work a little harder at it.
Interesting. It's easy to take the derivative of a product or quotient. And what about the composite of two functions? Taking the derivative of e^(-x^2) with respect to x is much easier than finding the integral with respect to x.
Then they asked what I'd do if we were "forced to migrate to IIS." When I asked how this could arise, all they could come up with was "what if regulatory requirements force you to use Windows?" In other words, if we weren't willing to dump money into utterly unknown "future applications," we should really consider "standardizing" on Java because the government might mandate Windows.
Did they know that Apache and Perl are available for Microsoft Windows? Or were they worried that the government might mandate IIS?
Oops, I believed that the original poster said that telling families to give money to the church in order to receive God's blessing was a basic Protestant tenet.
Of course, God is also unnatural in the sense of being supernatural. If religion is going to denigrate nature by positing the supernatural, don't be surprised that people don't care about nature.
In my town we have several so-called christian churches that tell families if they give money god will bless them. This of course is the heresy that prompted all protestant faiths.
As opposed to the Catholic Church, which said that if you gave them money, your loved ones would be freed from Purgatory?

Perhaps you can only maintain backward compatibility so far.

No, I don't use iTunes, and I mostly use Linux (but do some stuff on Windows). Would iTunes not work on other browsers, or is Apple being obnoxious?
Sorry, I didn't know that Safari was available for Windows.
Infidel!! Love live PostgreSQL!! Death to Oracle!!!!!!
The ability to test your web apps on Safari?
What's wrong with using emacs for web development? I don't find it painful.

Shouldn't they be filtering out the worst and dimmest?
Sorry, I was thinking more of someone who didn't use a word processor to write programs.
Perhaps the parent to your post meant how production works, not the product.

At least the TeX User's Group doesn't take three years to implement a new version
Of course, TeX has been around since 1979 and is also "complete", so how hard can it be to maintain it?
I'd be more worried if they had never used a text editor.

If the original poster wants to talk about energy, then perhap the poster should use the word "energy" instead of the word "power"..
A large percentage of people in this country believe that abortion is a horrible thing that should not be legal.
How large a percentage?
Watt-hours are unit of energy, not power. Watts are units of power.
I have a "boom box" which plays CDs. When will it go into obsolence? I suspect that certain audio codecs will lose support before that box breaks.
