Emacs, unlike vi and its derivatives, allows more-or-less straight editing in an intuitive manner (OK, I haven't used vi in a while, maybe they've included support for arrow-key navigation by now, but still I find the idea of a mode-based editor to be deeply broken).
I just tried vim, and it does support arrow-key navigation. I also prefer emacs to vi.
100x99x98x97x96=9,034,502,400. 2^33=8,589,934,592. So I was off by 2^10 (actually, 10^3). So you would need 33 check boxes. And I'm pretty sure that the 100 commands was a gross underestimate. If you have n checkboxes, you only have 2^n different ways of marking them, not n!.
You have to remember that in a GUI "piping 5 commands together" equals selecting five check boxes.
Hmm. . . My path has at least 100 distinct commands that could be piped together. There would be about 10 billion ways to get a pipeline of length 5. To be able to get that many combinations by using checkboxes, one would need at least 23 checkboxes. As for flags, some commands have 10 possible flags. Do you really want all of those checkboxes in a GUI?
I've had the opposite experience. I have used a C program to generate a bunch of single-page LaTeX files, which I then convert to jpegs, and then make an mpeg file.
And if you have to do it for 100 machines? Or if you have to pipe 5 commands together? Or if you have to set flags for the commands? Indeed, can you simply drag one executable onto another and have it work that way?
Too bad they did not build on Xenix, and save everyone much grief. Imagine where Apple could have been in the 90s, had they switched to Unix a decade earlier.
Bill Gates realized that you'll never make the big money selling someone else's OS. However brilliant a technical achievement Xenix might have been, it would never have made him the world's richest person.
He's only ten years older than me, kid. He's a physicist, not a football player. Unless you get alzheimer's or drink a lot or play high impact sports (boxing or non-US football) your brain doesn't suffer much if any.
Lots of US football players get concussions. I don't believe that helps them.
Tarski proved that the first-order theory of real numbers under addition and multiplication is decidable. However, the "usual" theory of the real numbers includes an axiom that every nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound. As that axiom is not first order (it talks about sets of real numbers), Tarski's proof does not apply to systems that contain such an axiom.
So opposing such assassinations makes me a zealot? OK, then so be it. I am more afraid of a government that would assume such powers, and a citizenry that would permit it, than I am of Anwar Al Awlaki.
Aside from the sound not muting the speakers when I use headphones (Damn you, pulseaudio!), I haven't had any such issues with Ubuntu 9.10. Of course, that copy of Ubuntu User cost $15. My copy of OpenSuSE 11.3 didn't even have that issue, as the computer on which I installed it lacks built-in speakers. It cost me an entire blank DVD. Oh, the agony!
Does Mac OS X include emacs, gcc, python, TeX/LaTeX, apache, PostgreSQL, etc, out of the box? Does Apple have repositories?
== Tyrant? If true it sounds like he's as bad as the leaders he's trying to expose?
President Obama has argued that he can have American citizens assassinated and that the courts aren't allowed to intervene, as that would violate state secrecy. Call me when the corpses start piling up in Mr. Assange's bedroom.
And how many people buy the boxed version of Microsoft Windows, as opposed to just getting it with a computer? That's the point; how much does a computer with Windows cost compared to a computer with Mac OS?
According to Eric S. Raymond (TAOUP), DARPA specifically chose BSD to write the 1980-1983 version of TCP/IP because they wanted the source code. Also, as another poster stated, being sponsored by a government/business does not make code non-OSS.

What do you mean by 1-0.000...;...001...?
A package that can hold about 10-20 cigarettes (I'm not a smoker), as opposed to a carton, which holds about twenty packs.
But only in base thirteen.
Fifth graders in the 1940's didn't dream of becoming COBOL programmers in the 1960's.
Of course not, they had nightmares about it.
But there is no freakin way I would ever go back to using anything older then Word 2011 to do the deed.
What isn't older than Word 2011? Is that even out yet?

The point is it gets you a 90,000 to a 100,000 foot extra boost and the gravity will be much lower
The earth's radius is approximately 4,000 miles. Going up 20 miles doesn't cut gravity down by much. Compare 4000^{-2} with 4020^{-2}.
Heading the ball is easier than "heading" another player.
Google football players concussions 114,000 hits
Google soccer players concussions 159,000 (I would not have guessed that.)
Much of that is the players colliding with each other rather than heading the ball, at least from my unscientific perusal of the Google results.

Within the first-order theory of the real numbers, how would you distinguish between the integers and nonintegers?
Tarski proved that the first-order theory of real numbers under addition and multiplication is decidable. However, the "usual" theory of the real numbers includes an axiom that every nonempty set of real numbers that is bounded above has a least upper bound. As that axiom is not first order (it talks about sets of real numbers), Tarski's proof does not apply to systems that contain such an axiom.
Aren't the laws of physics axioms for the universe?
No, they may be axioms for our theories about the universe, but not the universe itself.
I don't object to his being tried, I object to his being assassinated. If you cannot make that distinction, then you might want to brush up on law.
So opposing such assassinations makes me a zealot? OK, then so be it. I am more afraid of a government that would assume such powers, and a citizenry that would permit it, than I am of Anwar Al Awlaki.

Shouldn't Microsoft be compared to Sleeping Beauty instead? After all, it seems to have affected by an Apple.

I hope the JPL scientists win!
