Every physics graduate should be taught that if you use nu merical recipes you deserve to be taken out and shot. Use a library thats already been debugged, optimized and examined for numerical stability by experts, not some retyped [with possibilites for typos] code which is none of the above.
More like "You will be assimilated. We will extinguish your biological and technological distinctiveness so it cannot compete with our own. Resistance is expensive."
Actually, Fortran can be quite good at parallel stuff. It just depends on the type of parallelism, I'd take its multi-threaded approach sucks a bit [like most explicit multi-threading], however if you rely on loop vecotrization Fortran 90 is ahead of the game with its explicit loop handlers (forall, array assignment) and reduction statements (sum, count,...) allowing a compiler to take explicit advantage of such especially on SMP systems.
Its possibly worth noting that a lot of parallel programs already exists in the form of academic codes in the languages you mention, its not new for anything but the mainstream desktop.
I gave Windows XP Professional a try as my home desktop for 3 days a while ago, but switched back to linux finally for a number of reasons:
1) I got sick to death of having to install different programs to burn CDs correctly, with the drag and drop interface terribly annoying and confusing. 2) A lot of software I like as a programming hobbiest is not easily available with a simple command like apt-get install 3) I hate to say it, but virtual desktops and fluxbox leave my desktop a lot less cluttered and much easier to work with than windows does out of the box, and my computer is under load from its graphics a lot less often 4) Things like configuring wireless interfaces were endlessly confusing. Theres about 4 different places to enter a wireless key - but only one of them accepts my home key, as the rest claim it is too long! With linux I just typed it in and it worked. 5) Linux has far more easily accessible and non-crapware solutions available to be easily installed from a secure and trusted source.
The final thing which did it was when I wanted to play a video - WMP has gone through many funcitonality decrements over the years, and when I finally switched to mplayer it coped a lot better with partially missing files, keyboard shortcuts and general niceness than the MS equivilant.
Windows is a best a memory hog of a contendor at this stage, while linux is fast and nible, but with the true power of unix behind it.
Once reached, this feedback loop will continue until all the ice is melted during the summer, and there is NOTHING we can do about it with current technology.
I choose Thermonuclear War! - We could always try and block out the sun, after all the last climate threat was global cooling due to particulates in the atmosphere.
Response to terrorism (from the IRA) was one of drivers of the UKs current propensity towards spying on its citizensResponse to terrorism (from the IRA) was one of drivers of the UKs current propensity towards spying on its citizens
No, anti terror measures have gotten far worse here since the terrorists became islamists - we had realtively not bad measures to fight the IRA. Since the US started taking drastic measures the UK has sadly followed suit.
But, can you ever correlate pop tart and beer sales to an external event? You might be able to go back and say "here's a strange case where pop tarts and beer sold out quickly, why did this happen?" If you can tie this to external events, you'd think you'd be better prepared to react to the same events in the future.
Thsi is the beauty of this sort of datamining - you're bascially just scoring factors likely to push up sales - it doens't matter if theres actually a causation, because you're only interested in corrrelation, if its going to hold true in this case.
And some grammar schools still exist and use the 11+, it would be itneresting to see if the data in those areas is better, though of course this may still correlate with areas of the country which are substantially better off than others.
You see, to me, mindless applications of fourier transforms and other mathematical techniques describes engineering, whereas coming up with new ideas and algorithms describes research.
I wonder if someone once posted a comment saying "/. has hit the bottom. really you can't get any worse than this.", and the editors decided to prove them wrong?

So what's the best examples of this on youtube?

Now we just need one or two careless fools coding myfirstfacebookapp to make a mistake and people can cleanup on information collection...

Now, replace those scared teenagers with properly trained professional soldiers, who've been trained for situations like this.
Excellent, we finally have a way for geeks to burn off all that fat without having to emerge from their mother's basements.
Dissection. Questioning. Years of resulting research.
Possibly ask him for more funding.
Short of parking his boat next to the thing he wants blown up and waiting...
And this gentlemen (points to parent) is what we know as a Patent Troll. (Or was that a Blatant Troll)

I like the way the link wants to print automatically.
Perhaps next we can get one of those nifty `email this automatically to everyone on my contacts list' scripts?
The FFII and the Vrijschrift.org Foundation tell us some more about how bad it could be.
The big one as far as I'm concerned is ``incitement to infringe'', which could open software writers to massive problems.
Damn, and I thought only the US gave dead people the vote!
Its OK, they'll go under again when the sea level rises. If they don't then we can use them to put the displaced population on.

By which you of course mean 25% of children.

and the answer is "... use vi!"
nah, they're just angling for a dupe in the next few hours.
