Electrons carrying around little calculators?...seriously how many angels can dance on a pin these days? How about spending your 10% on a clue instead of a tithe.
Bytes in memory don't carry around their own processors, therefore computers don't run programs. Nice logic there buddy.
Let's not forget that the reason why we use math to describe these phenomena is because the real world is based on mathematics. For example, there is an 'event horizon' at 1, where multiplying a number by >1 makes it larger but by <1 makes it smaller. Maybe dark matter can be described in some equation as <1 whereas 'light' matter is >1 (so dark matter interacting with light matter would diminish it). Or maybe the event horizon of a black hole is like 1 and the center is 0.
In any case these concepts (x<1<y, 0, etc) have manifestations in the real world that should not be forgetten... that's why string theory smells so wrong. Basically {0} can't be explained by the equations so they pretend it is a vector {0,n}... only then n could be zero making a zero-vector {0,0} so they add more dimensions until they are out of concepts. Doesn't sound like a winner to me.
The flattened tree is equivalent to the stack-based layout of Java opcodes (since the JVM knows the arity of each method call) so that's just "revisionist naming" practiced in C# and its libraries to not look like a pure rip of Java.
Assemblies aggressively optimized means they are internally linked ahead of time like a normal DLL, so internal inlining uses static rules. Cross-assembly inlining is also more difficult. Basically.NET is faster loading but slower at runtime. Check the language shootout for instance.
Except that Java sans GUI did work flawlessly 9 years ago, and today Java is at least twice as fast as mono and it always will be faster since CLR "assemblies" prevent the most effective dynamic optimizations.
We've nearly burned all the hydrocarbon fuel stored up over millions of years, but obviously it's just a natural incredibly rapid spike in temperature unlike anything in any records. Oh yeah, and tax cuts and massive spending increases is good fiscal policy. And auditing high-pressure testing in schools by people with a stake in the results is a good idea. And we can shore up social security by taking money out of it. And not getting a volume discount for medicare will lower the price for drugs.
I really think it much be a sick game of some kind: what's the stupidest idea you can get 51% of the people to believe?
So the climate change critics' site has direct links to everything that supports their position, but when they mention "realclimate.org" they don't make it a link so you have to cut and paste into the URL to get the other side of the story. That pretty much sums up their intensions and intellectual honest right there.
IOW, it's just more FUD from the corporate lobbies. The "hockey stick" is real, it's too late, and we're all doomed to live in a bio-dome... sad but true.
By taking it, you deprive me of the oppoerunity to sell it to you. I have now been deprived the income I would have made from that sale.
Iow, you want the government to give you an equal opportunity to make all of the potential sales you can over somebody else's right to do what they want with their purchased property, their computer. Not only are you for affirmative action (ie equal opportunity) but also for taking away real, personal rights over physical property away in favor of virtual, potential rights over information. So in essence you are a neo-liberal libertarian.

//avoid using the reverse "i >= 0; i--" style loop here
...
bitterness=9:
// only some lame intern would write a counting
// loop as "i >= 0; i--" instead of "i-->0;"
1. puts lots of work into craft
2. become clueful, uber-coder
3. sell clue on ebay for ad-free slashdot pages
4.
5. profit?
In Linux you can also create a normal file and then attack it to a loopback device and they swap on that:
/dev/loop0 /tmp/moreswap /dev/loop0 /dev/loop0
/dev/loop0 and delete when done.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/moreswap count=1000 bs=1024
losetup
mkswap
swapon
then swapoff, losetup -d
