Trying programming in Java sometime outside of a website applet, kid, and maybe you will learn something.
I'm quite willing to concede the argument that programmer time is dearer than processor time; but why has the the Real Time Specification for Java, for instance, only been able to achieve 100 microsecond interrupt response times, when 2.0 microsecond response times aren't unheard of in other domains?
A number of other similar changes which are too dangerous for normal software or cause too much of a slowdown are available as malloc options as described in the manual page.
Id est, they stopped before reaching a Java-like retardation.
Please, please, please make restoration of light mode a priority!
I have to append my quaternary vote: not only is Slashdot Light great for 1995 nostalgia, but it was half-way readable in Lynx (which comes in handy on an headless machines sans X).
Vista UI looks like the kind of interface the Empire might like.
What I can tell you is that Microsoft made ANH quasi-credible; since big-industry inefficiency is well capable of overlooking a thermal exhaust port, or two.
Did Gates just say their products suck or is it just me?
Gates, having retrained his mind in biz-speak, suffers from systemic ambiguity; the kind of ambiguity which sounds off unmeaningfully with meaningful shine.
Another gem:
In Web search, Google is the far-away leader. Big honeymoon for them. Even if they do "me, too" type stuff, people think, "wow."
There's a classic case of imputing own qualities to adversaries in loud, broadcastive gestures.
It also makes me all the more happy that I ignored the Tivo zealots and spent about $500 and a week's worth of time putting together a Linux DVR about 4 years ago now.
Do you mind if I ask whether you went the MythTV route, or do your ventures pre-date even it?
I know it's rather bad of me, but I'm gratified that at least there's one thing, one small thing that my country (the U.S.) is doing slightly better than some other country.
Hmmm; can you pinpoint roughly when it started going downhill? Late 80's/early 90's, I'd say, whence the glory of corporate cocain gave way to grungy decadence.
My sense is that there is a clever system of calculated instability so as to keep MCSEs in business; if so, a similar move spelled destruction for our automotive industry.
Not at all a well-designed, efficient and elegant system, it looks instead like the genetics is the most convoluted Rube Goldberg style mess you could imagine.
It looks like you're throwing out intelligent design, but criticizing nevertheless on the basis of design; that is, you've only gone half-way in ridding yourself of anthropomorphism.
In throwing out rational design, did you mean to open up the possibility to irrational design?
Another incompatibility [with the Academic Free License] comes from its "Mutual termination for Patent Action" clause. Putting aside the difficult question of whether this sort of clause is a good idea or a bad one, it is incompatible with the GPL.
rendering this latest patent-retaliation more bizarre.
[...] or better yet, societies not poisoned by a judaic religion.
You may be on to something, Mock; Semitic religions and their derivatives are especially abstract, and tend to cultivate the bizarrest pathologies amongst adherents and recovering adherents.
Case in point: my Judaeo-Christian girlfriends have wanted to be fucked in the ass, re-enact rape fantasies or have their nipples pinched with clothespins.

After a few days of R&R, I'll be ready for more action!
Justifies nicely said paragraphs; provides lists and sigart.
Emacs Dunnet for the win!

I, for one, can attest that mod-mbox generated a great deal of traffic on the httpd-mod developers list.
I've had much more thoughtful conversations with the unread than I have with the half-read.

Beautiful: Firefox' source finally builds with GCC4 out of the box; no mucking around necessary!

I notice you're a tardy poster.
