Um, ALL PERL CODE IS TREATED AS PERL5 CODE unless you use a specific Perl 6 keyword in your script. Perl 6 interpreters will not require you modify your scripts AT ALL to use Perl 5 scripts.
Therefore, it's just Perl 6 scripts which want to use Perl 5 regular expression syntax, which would want to use the:p5 modifier.
The Monsters Inc. teaser was a horrible let-down. It was just a small room, Sully and Mike talking, and no hint to the plot or anything. The short movie with Mike's six-wheeled car was ten times better than the teaser trailer.
The first Incredibles teaser was just the belt-buckle scene. That's it. A belt that won't fit, and a really dumb looking super-suit. Very lame. But the other trailers since then have piqued my curiosity, haven't given too much away, and they might pull off a great story.
God could've could've chosen to create the creatures in 7 days or God could've chosen to create the creatures in the world with evolution'
Personally, if I feel I must marry the evidence to the faith, I believe the following:
one of God's days is much longer than one of our days
the Bible said God made the world in six days, with man last, and rested on a seventh,
the Bible also says there's some thousand-year span of peace and calm before the world as we know it is finished,
so we are currently still in Day Six, the day of Man.
I've read through some of the Baptist curriculum for home-schooled kids, and it's really offensive. They deride science and scientists with things like "how could a crocodile suddenly turn into a chicken?" (To point out what they see as fallacies in believing in evolution when faced with various periods of accelerated changes in "evidence.") I feel, if God wanted a croc to be a chicken, who is stopping Him? There's no reason God needed to make everything at once, as they exist today. Maybe He's enjoying shifting the genetic makeup over time. There's really no reason for the religious types to be so patently offensive to scientists who just want to answer the big questions of How, not Why.
Euler has a ridiculous amount of stuff named after him.
A hockey team in Edmonton, Alberta...
And Houston Texas football, too.
I find this funny because many people who are not maths fans are probably scratching their heads, expecting "Euler" to rhyme with "ruler." The mathematician's name is generally pronounced as "oiler." It wasn't until I worked for a bunch of engineering geeks that I put those together, even though I had read about Euler's works for years.
I certainly do not think that such poor articles should be linked from Slashdot. Why should AnandTech get rewarded for such shoddy work?
You must be under some delusion that Slashdot editors care at all about article quality. They post whatever drivel strikes their own fancy, and/or whatever half-baked junk they find that might generate a lot of pageviews as people post complaints. No journalistic integrity, no pride in craftsmanship, no striving to improve.
Okay, but now that you've posed that fascinating question, is it okay if we resume with the "If Microsoft made cars" jokes?
[voice name="jayleno"]
Say! I wonder if those cool crash testing experts Vince and Larry will be available for promotions!? "You can learn a lot from a dummy!"
What do you do when something goes wrong on a long road trip? "Sorry, ma'am, but the mechanic what can fix that bluescreen of yorn is out fishin' to tomorrah."
Why does my car tell me to "Press the Brake to Go"?
"I was going to get my dangling exhaust pipe fixed, but my wife still likes the drag and drop interface."
I hear the Consumer Reports folks have chimed in on these new computerized dashboards. This is the first year that BMW had more bugs in their product line than Volkswagen!
Though it's not official, I like to think of Zodiac, Snow Crash and Diamond Age as a trilogy; as if each one is a generation apart in the same timeline. There's even a hint that SC and DA are intended that way, with a character that seems to overlap.
I'm more interested in larger capacity at home without having to think much about it. I like the idea of hot-pluggable RAID1 appliances. I've seen two models. Anyone have first-hand feedback on them?
On a daily basis my 93 year old grandmother weaves in and out of heavy traffic on PCH while flipping off SUV cell phoners going 30 in the left lane.
Didn't the Beach Boys write a song about her?
And everybody's saying there's nobody meaner
Than the little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She's a terror out on Colorado Boulevard
(And to the other poster, the PCH is the Pacific Coast Highway.)
I read 4GB and I think "CF type II microdrive." So if the 4GB drive is in the unit, is it removable? Is there a second CF type I or II slot for real expansion, or is this a balancing act? I mean, ANYONE could put a 5GB microdrive in the lowly 5500 if that's all we're talking about, but we still can't combine a CF WiFi and a CF HD at the same time unless there's two slots.
The official explanation (take what you will) for the poor showing in the MIPS, Alpha, PPC race was that Microsoft was not doing those projects. MIPS, Dec, and IBM were given the opportunity to write their own ports of the architecture-specific elements of the Windows NT kernel. They did that. Then MIPS, Dec and IBM were responsible for making a viable product of those ports. They did not do anything with it. Microsoft wasn't obligated or even offering to market MIPS, Alpha, PPC varieties of Windows NT.
Okay, so the voice actor comes into the studio one day, records fifty lines he or she has never thought about before, and leaves. They might sound good the first time around, but these will get so tired, so fast.
First encounter at the camp: "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean."
The next day, arriving at the camp. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead.... " yeah, yeah, whatever, gramps
Ten minutes later, walking past. "Once more unto the breach,..." shut UP already
Five minutes later, walking past. "Once more..." mute button
Once upon a time, I worked for Microsoft. Code of mine is in an ancient version of Windows. And today, I have zero Microsoft products in the house, unless there's some buried MSFT tax I was unaware. I got rid of Microsoft mice and keyboards, even. I have a network of multiple Linux machines. I specifically did not buy a Mac while MSFT still had their significant "non-voting" investment into Apple.
Now I've tried an eMac. First Apple since the Apple ][, which was my first hands-on computer experience. I don't think I'd try to go pure Apple, but it's a great extra machine on the network. It lets my buy off-the-shelf products that my 5-year-old would be interested in, instead of the very limited, very unpolished kid's games that Linux offers.
I use the eMac as a print server for a photo printer that GIMP-print doesn't (yet) support. I use the eMac as a media center for the house. I use the eMac's "Speakable Items" and text-to-speech as a sort of butler appliance who announces reminders for various household things. There are a number of things in Mac OS X which were easy to get going because someone's already done them, but nobody on the Linux world has yet bothered to build. I *could* write them myself for Linux, but I could also spend that time doing other things.
Lighter = safer
Everything else aside, this vehicle is safer because it's lighter. There is no substitute for a lack of mass when your vehicle becomes a ball of plastic and metal momentum; the more weight, the more force is required to curb that momentum, so to speak. Force, in this case, typically translates into rolling, or crumpling. Modern vehicles do lots of both, particuarly SUV's. So bear in mind, mass is an inherent evil in vehicle safety.
Uh, where did you learn physics? Or did you mean "safer for the other folks"?
f = ma: it's not just a good idea, it's the law.
As the saying goes, "it's not the speed that kills you, it's the sudden stop." You want to minimize the sudden acceleration (and thereby force) your body must endure. If you are outweighed by your head-on opponent, you will do almost all the accelerating (from +40 to -30, versus their +40 to +10, for example). If you outweigh the other poor sap, you'll live and they won't. That's why a three-ton SUV is a menace for everyone else out there, but pretty darn invulnerable.
DALLAS, Dec 29, 2003/ FW/ -- 7 UP is building on its successful, award-winning "Make 7 UP Yours" advertising campaign by introducing four new television commercials in 2004, featuring actor and comedian Godfrey playing the beloved but bumbling spokesman for 7 UP.
A laptop cannot fit into my camera bag when I go on vacations. Most laptops can't plug into the big-screen TV for all the relatives to get a sneak-peak at the photos I've taken during the week. I've been lusting after an Archos previously, but the requirement of a dongle for CompactFlash reading was a limiting factor.
B(E)? The geek in me reads that as "B of E" and then turns that phonetically into BFE, a vulgar initialism for "bum f* egypt," meaning the middle of nowhere.
Then you have the stupid names which are just too close to derogatory names. I'm not talking about creative stretches of normal words like "Back Orifice" or "Internet Exploder." I'm talking about nonsense turned into the nearest possible normal words. Olympus eVolt sounds revolting.

No, I'm serious. And stop spelling it 'shurely.'
