If they hosted their VERSIONING with a tool such as GNU Arch (this should also apply to databases and modern filesystems), anyone could submit code and anyone could pull down the version/branch that works best for them.
If a person can't detect subtle vandalism, like plausible but false information, they're in no position to choose a branch that works for them. Your suggestion might be a good idea for other reasons, but this isn't one of them.
I realize this isn't responsive to your post, but it got me thinking.
If Google and CLEVER (Google's theoretical forerunner -- check out Kleinberg's paper for an early near-prototype of PageRank) have taught us anything, it's that algorithms that use the linking relation as a metric for ranking web pages relative to a keyword is completely natural. Such algorithms use the linking relation to measure what amounts to popularity or agregate usage.
In effect, they conflate authority with popularity. This is a great hack, since it uses the web's inherent graph structure to generate meaningful results in line with people's preferences. And this graph structure is a direct result of people choosing to link to (presumably) useful or interesting pages. But there are two problems:
PageRank can be easily manipulated. Popularity is not the same as authority, so SEO people can abuse PageRank to appear authoritative.
They put new web pages at a disadvantage. Frankly, when I'm searching for information, I don't care how popular a web page is. I just want an authoritative source. While this is a disadvantage for strictly informational searches, it is in the end a good thing for 'recreational' searches.
In effect, PageRank and the like have been cracked because their designers assumed that people would act in good faith when linking. Google constantly updates the algorithm to We require a new, dare I say, paradigm for generating search results with a metric that correlates strongly with authoritativeness and cannot be abused. I have some ideas, but the patent office, and maybe some journals, will hear about them well before any of you do.
I was mistaken. Rhinoceros ivory (from their teeth) was used to make the pool cue ferrule (the white thing where the tip is mounted). Elephant ivory was used for this purpose as well.
It's straightforward. See, the pirate (who is made of rubber, btw) wants to become the pirate king, and so is sailing around the "Grand Line" (or "equator") kicking the shit out of other pirates and picking up a crew of dedicated sailors.
The per-capita figure can be seen as sort of a metric of the prominence we, as a society, place on furthering technology. The gross figure can be seen as a metric of what we, as a society, are capable of technologically given ideal conditions (and a bunch of assumptions my short analysis glosses over).
The upshot is that if China has the same number of engineers per capita, we can expect them to outstrip us technologically, all things being equal. Of course, things aren't equal. We have historically held educational and other advantages over the majority of the Chinese population, and so if we wish to maintain our position, we must maintain our educational superiority.
Point taken. And yet, in every instance of 'meta' on that page in which it appears as a noun, it is a proper name. The "meta" (as in the meta key) does not appear as an entry of its own. That is, your link doesn't support your assertion.
It proves that since Linux already runs on PowerPC machines, it will run on the XBox 360, modulo cracking the trusted computing system, just as Linux runs on all x86 compatible architectures. No need to port binutils.
I thought the thread starter was referring to all of the syntactic sugar that makes games like Golf possible. The very basics of Perl -- what you'd learn in the first few chapters of "Learning Perl" are syntactically no harder than C. But if you jump into the wrong reference (or trying reading CPAN stuff as a beginner), you'll be quickly overwhelmed by the multitude of shortcuts.
In my time as a Perl programmer, I've learned to use a lot of shortcuts where they make sense: with the fiddly bits that format my data. I use "verbose" C-like code for the business logic. While I've learned a lot, there's still a whole bunch I haven't encountered yet. Only the perl interpreter can parse Perl and all that.
Sure there is. Get them a nice book on mathematical logic and they won't have to wade through all of GEB's pseudoscience bullshit. Enderton's book is good.

Doubtful. Fame and political notoriety are good for an academic's career.

Nope, never. It was elephant and rhinoceros ivory before they moved on to celluloid.

Specifically, Adderall.

You should really hire a typographer.

You've obviously never found satori. Your sense of self-satisfaction is laughable.
'Meta' isn't a noun, so it certainly can't be a genitive noun.

They at the very least share the PowerPC instruction set. That's more than enough to, say, get Linux running on it since PPC GCC works just fine.

Or they could just read Godel's original paper and avoid all the pseudo-science bullshit in GEB.
LOL Watt?
Tuna melt on rye and a diet coke.
You should try putting your punctuation between sentences instead of letting it all cluster up at the end like that.
That's sooo 1998. You're supposed to ask for a torrent now.
If you think this is funny, wait till you see the definition of the 'fundament'.
He's not a scientist. He is a religion professor.
I can't wait for the F Games on ESPN. Sports to the Fundament.
Sometimes I wonder why people like Ikue Mori even try. Then I remember that it's because they like making music.
