Bottom line is, all of our parents/kids/friends need to know; don't give info out online unless YOU initiated the contact.
Agreed, but then you get morons like Barclays Bank (in the UK, at least) who call up their customers on the phone and ask them to give personal details "for security"...
I kid you not!
I cringe every time I hear this (no, I don't bank with them myself... so don't call;)
Right... if there was something usable likely to come directly from it, the first thing you'd do is to give up control and then try to persuade the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Russians and we Europeans about your level of involvement!
Perhaps the American system is different, but in the UK there are Design Rights to protect this kind of thing. Patents, on the other hand, are for technical innovations (and there's no innovative step here, imo).
nobody wants to see other countries acquire something as militarily useful as fusion
Call me cynical (and ignorant), but I find it difficult to believe that this is the case given... well... the article! ("The US is halting its national nuclear fusion energy project [..] and pinning its hopes on the internation fusion research program...")
I don't know Nice, so I could be wrong scanning through here, but the referred page says that 'parametric types' are supported as are functions "manipulated as first class expressions [sic]". At the same time, though, we're told "[v]alues of primitive type (int, float,...) can be used in polymorphic code" - should we assume that functions cannot? In which case we don't have anything like a functional language (correct me if I'm wrong) because we can't even write the 'map' function!
As for as 'languages for the Java VM', I remember that people were working on ML over JVM, but the VM doesn't provided for sharing the 'nice' higher-order features (which I believe is one of the aims in http://docs.msdnaa.net/ark/Webfiles/whitepapers.ht m#babel01)
I must admit all the talk of Eclipse made me take another look at Java
I'd also admit that despite being saddened to have to work with Java again - on a new project and despite having worked with a modern language (Haskell) for a long time - one thing that's impressed me has been Eclipse.
Yeah, now that one can get onto the site it's easy to read that there - so why was this posted?
(Ironically he was pleased with himself, first time round, for surviving the slashdotting... things change;)
I'd love to think you were talking about declarative code, higher-order functions, (real) parametric polymorphism, borders between pure functional and side-effecting code, lazy evaluation etc. etc., but I've the feeling you're talking about mere syntactic differences over the same old imperative language features and the associated libraries...
Please tell me I'm wrong and rescue my faith!
They goofed up this magic throttling value, this setting is just way too low.
If my limited (so far) understanding is correct, it's also a case of Windows being made to do things automatically (and uncontrollably?) that might be alright for brainless users in an office, but don't suit most of us. (And I don't say this as a Linux user who likes to spend all their time 'under the hood', just someone who doesn't like things being outside my control should I so chose...)
Already done - from supposed wartime UK use of bromide (actually, not sure this is true - may just be an urban legend, but Clidinium Bromide has this effect), through crude 1950s US use of chemical castration to, contemporarily, Cyproterone Acetate:
But while controlling the behaviour of individuals in a technological society is (pretty much) on topic, the Russian Revolution is rather tangential!

The Story suggests that women are turning away from computer science in particular
Yes, which you went further into, hence my wanting to contrast that trend with the one in the UK (and its own studies and governmental concerns and 'initiatives').
Incidentally, the female biology students I know are much more interested in nature and conservation than in `nurturing' and medicine
Depends how widely one interprets 'nurturing'; to me (forgive my glibness) "I want to save baby seals" is a lot more nurturing than "I want to build a rocket ship"...
Actually - correct me if I'm wrong - the Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons are subject to Bokanovsky's Process, which involves alcohol, and is "is one of the major instruments of social stability".

I think you're confusing patents and escrow...

Groovy. I shall certainly have a look at this - thanks for the tip!

True. The 'beauty' of CISC, I guess, is that there's all that bloated redundancy there to be exploited :)
Ah, long live CISC!
"lets you embed data into an application without changing its functionality or filesize" Oh well, it was just a theory anyway ;)

Yes, but that was written in the heyday of smart drugs - Huxley wrote 60 years earlier...
