Yeah, this comparison on slashdot's page makes it seem like a really intelligent site... "Look, some random guy who maybe knows how to program well with java thinks it's slower than Ruby!"
Even if google's combined network of PC's has 300 Teraflops, that does not make it a 300 Teraflops supercomputer, for some reasons. For example, the nodes are not connected by a fast network...
If I read another comment talking about the fucking lack of braces I'm going to punch the monitor... Why are people giving that so much weight instead of discussing the features of the languages instead?
And who cares about the programmers discussing brace placing styles? They'll surely find other things to discuss about with Python...
Google doesn't like a lack of discretion at all... More specifically, I'm remembering that one idiot who started working at google and had nothing better to do than saying some annoying things in his blog...
1. A level, degree, or period of time in the course of a process: the toddler stage of child development; the early stages of a disease.
2. A point in the course of an action or series of events: too early to predict a winner at this stage.
Well, in case someone believes this troll as soon as they read it, I have to say that I've never heard about google using Mysql. Maybe you're referring to a situation similar to a Microsoft employee using Winamp to listen to some music?:)

Yeah, middle-endian sucks... Let's hope they don't start using this in cpu's :)
Well, several reasons come to mind:
- Software usually performs a more diverse set of options
- The environment where hardware runs is more predictable than the software one
- Formal verification is probably easier to perform with hardware.
- It's easier to verify low level stuff than high level abstractions.
I'd add more, but I've got other things to do unfortunately...
You didn't get the joke ;)
Yeah, only on slashdot would this be publicized as revolutionary...

Give us a break...
Yeah, an optimized compiler isn't the same thing as an optimizing compiler...
From the FAQ:

Can I communicate with partners who use different computers than I do?
Presently FuckU-FuckMe only works with Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. Macintosh and Linux versions are currently being developed.
Why a linux version? Would anyone be able to use it?
That's what I meant :)

Any problem which is easy to code recursively is also easy to do iteratively - you just have to implement the stack part yourself...
Not to talk about the possibility of being slashdotted while connected directly to the transatlantic backbone with your brain...

Virus writers don't need that to destroy the data of a windows pc...

If you think C++ doesn't have a preprocesor too, YOU have no clue.
On the other hand, I think such a contest for C++ would produce even more obfuscated code than IOCCC. Think about what could be done with just:
- operator overloading
- multiple inheritance...
Wow, that must be one of the best justified statements I've seen lately. You really don't leave a possible doubt in the air...
Who cares about Apple's music store?
With CD-buying, at least you buy songs once and for all. Can you do that legally with iFumes?
Do you really think the Commodores had a wav or mp3 format, or the capability to play it?
And maybe you have no sense of humour, or maybe you were already asking for this reply :)
Is your sig only valid in Soviet Russia? :) You should update it...
After just having seen a science guy, now we have an indian maths guy... Priceless :)
