romantic bullshit, CGI replacement of photography and motion pictures is already happening. You think a person with artistic talent in 3rd world who will work for 1/100 the rate of your "pros" has less talent? The ever more powerful cheap computer will level that field fast and soon.
This is a neutron source whereby emitted neutrons from u-235 get "amplified" by striking other nuclei. sure, a pot or chamber where "reactions" occur can be called a reactor. but this is not a critical configuration of U-235 such as in a nuclear power plant
sorry, that's urban legend about the "pea sized Americium", the spherical critical configuration for the stuff in smoke detectors, Am241, is over 57 kg. There is a rare form Am241m1 which is in the 9 to 14 kg range (or less with reflector), but no one knows because no kg amounts exist! You can look up these interesting things in wikipedia
And for those who slept in biology, xylem tissue transports water and dissolved nutrients, in a tree it is the wood. The word comes from the Greek xylon, which means wood. So a xylophone must be wooden.
fine, I've been around the globe for 20 years too. and I didn't even take a laptop. even the third world countries have internet cafes. I didn't travel to stare at a screen......
You are saying BSD servers and routers running BSD code not used much on the internet? or that BSD is not used much in printers, elevator controllers, etc. rather ignorant point of view, BSD code is very successful.
But in this context we're talking about operating system kernel and system libraries, those ALWAYS need compiler specific features. Just to make Linux compile on another compiler means modifying the code AND/OR the compiler, as Intel did
which can be frozen the same as sperm, however they still need most of a fully functioning human female reproductive system for implantation. no woman, no baby. been true for hundreds of thousands of years, still true today and for foreseeable future.
maybe they want to distribute a USEFUL version of the compiler, for a particular purpose. Stallman et. al has long battled to keep usable API and plugin points to the front end of gcc only, and to prevent such in all parts of the toolchain, even to keeping the documentation for parts obfuscated. screw that, some people want real freedom....
Stallman and others deliberately fought having APIs, proper documentation and to allow plugins for all parts of the GCC toolchain, to keep control of the thing.
but that's what bus with an automated driver gives us, the ability go pick you up right where you are and go to your door, or to another central hub for the next leg.
You've been duped by the media. The people that are dying in afghanistan are NOT the "taliban" who hosted Al Qaeda, they left long ago. we're killing innocents and other "taliban" groups who did not attack us, and also labelling as "taliban" any disgruntled afghan sick of foreign invaders who fights back. also, we're negotiating with various "taliban" right now because we won't "win". And we invaded Iraq, where Al Qaeda wasn't, and turned it into a recruiting ground for them and other terrorist groups while causing the deaths of at least four times as many people as Saddam ever did. And people like you imagine those that are suffering are The Enemy.
where are all the space aliens, then, if faster-than-light travel is possible in this universe? The lightspeed barrier pretty much explains the Fermi paradox.
bullshit, we don't have to war with anyone to buy oil. we could get by with a military 1/10 the present size. The only things our pointless wars do is increase the price of oil, and we certainly aren't fighting anyone who attacked us on 9/11 in either afghanistan ( they left) nor Iraq (never were there)
strange revelation for you, o mama's basement dwelling virgin, growing a human can only be done inside a creature known as a "willing female". She might be willing to take a "test tube baby", or spread her legs for the unsterilized "test tube", but your idea has no legs. Specifically, no long sexy legs with a vagina and uterus between them.....
nope, economic stimulus only works when money changes hand again and again so the economy grows. Routers sitting in a box don't do that. Routers installed do a little of that. Routers installed and gainfully used can do a big amount of that, but not by using a $22,000 router to do a $150 router's job.

Linux depends on gcc-specific extensions, and not just typedefs but exact layout in memory (which C doesn't specify), in-line assembly syntax http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-gcc-hacks/
sure, and I can put $10,000 worth of gear in a backpack. but when I travel I don't, cheap, durable, low performance is good enough.

and moreover, if that really is your life, you really need to "get a life."
what the heck kind of high-powered applications are you running that require that kind of expensive hardware?

the topic of this thread is "What's Wrong With GCC?", not "What's Wrong with the GPL"
there is no such thing, except in science fiction

so what, so those branches with fruit for a few die off while the main tree continues to flourish. the problem has its own natural solution

utter bullshit, hydrogen and oxygen can be made by clean means, and burn to make water.

but in that case it would be the same to just hand the money over and forget the router.
