What??? What???
From TFA: "The European Space Agency's Venus Express probe..."
The "nation that flew to the moon" was the U.S. of the 1960s - the one that invented stuff, the one that manufactured stuff, the one that didn't care about "self-esteem", the one that wasn't morbidly obsessed with not offending anyone, the one that dared, the one whose future was still before it.

> Why should a primitive byte be signed, but not a primitive char?
Because a byte is a numeric class, and a char is a character class? Your question is like asking why booleans can't be signed or unsigned.

1) Code readability.
2) Speed of development.
3) Lack of "cute" features that break easily.
4) Javadoc!!
5) Bazillions of pre-written, pre-tested source-available library functions.
I would tend to agree with you, were the franchise to vote, govern, or set policy restricted to those capable of rational thought. Sadly, this is not the case.
God, I feel sooooo much better now. The USPTO's record on recognizing "prior art" and "non-obviousness" is pretty much unimpeachable to date. [/heavy-scarcasm-my-ass,I'm-lying-here]

SD6 was a high-quality TV-capture group that split off from alt.binaries.multimedia, as alt.binaries.multimedia.SD6, when their leader "Silent Bob"'s ego got the better of him. They specialized in posting things like "Alias", "The O.C.", etc. Silent Bob had a temper and a huge ego. They got like ONE C&D and he pulled the plug on the whole newsgroup. Kinda too bad, their captures were real nice.

Back in the day, Ford was willing to sell you a Ford fire extinguisher to go with your Pinto.
No, that's their hope for Mono
Please die now.
Thanks, from all of us.
It can't be a feature, it was never documented.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of [flame]war!!!

Won't somebody please make a commodity Power PC box I can run Linux on?

Oh puhleeese. These bozos (the USPTO) couldn't find prior art if somebody filed a patent for fire fer chrissake.
This patent on the comb-over is my personal favourite.

That's just evil.
Your post should be modded +10 informative so that everyone reads it.
Sony's DRM rootkit can be thwarted by not doing business with those evil bastards.
Then wouldn't a simple command-line based cheat defeat that?
Democracy. No, wait, that other thing.
Does this affect the speed of dark?
Uh - the printing press is running at 1/300th speed, too.
We'll get back to you.
Here you go.
