before Ford came along, cars were an item only affordable by the 1% richest part of the population.
Before Ford came along there was an abundance of horse shit filling up city streets. From my experience in India, the only creatures shitting in the streets where dogs and humans.
Thanks for pointing out just how Yankee the Bush family is. Though, I think your beating a dead armadillo. They've named highways and are in the process of naming libraries in each other's honor. We'll never get rid of the belief they were from the south, let alone Texas.
I think the "Communist" angle is what they are referring to. If something doesn't cost money the first person to yell, "its communistic!" wins the Republican vote. But you are absolutely correct. They are BOTH bought and paid for.
The concept must be completely out of my reach. I look at Parrot and think, "OK I can write to the registers. This speeds up code for me on C. But, on C I'm writing to real registers. Parrot is a VM which means I'm writing to virtual registers which then gets translated to machine code." Wouldn't everything get lost in the translation depending on how well the VM is written for the specific arch of the machine Parrot is running on? Also, will the people running the code I'm writing need to have Parrot installed as well as Perl, Python...? I know I have to be misunderstanding the whole thing. That, or Parrot is a lot of overhead for a small increase in speed.
I think speech should be free, but seriously, how much worse off would we be if we didn't have public displays of religious symbols and other advertisements for prejudiced beliefs?
There is. Model rockets attract kids to science. The government fckd that up and now there are fewer future scientists. Fewer scientists means a weaker country. A weaker country means less global power for the country. Less global power for the country means less global power for the people in the government.
If that doesn't work for you here is another. In the U.S you are a member of the government. So technically that ouch your feeling is negative reinforcement. Because you didn't take an active enough roll in government and policy your to blame.
I can understand Americans not knowing stuff but the TV teaches lots. Like, I didn't know dinosoars had names until I watched the flinstone's. I guess people from the trailer park learn from the TV faster.
Yo man thats wrong. Childrenz learn what you sayin is the right way. Not t'other way round. Know what I'm sayin dog? They don't need no school for dat. What da most peoples says is right is right and that all there is to it. Peace.
No. Microsoft didn't "develop" NT. Microsoft "hired" NT. Microsoft has only "developed" Windows 1-3 (partially - stole the gui and bought DOS), Office (partially - pilfered access), a version (IMHO the better of them) of basic, and Bob. I know I'm going to get flamed for adding Office to that but the lines on Office are very thin. Technically, Bill Gates wrote what became Word and Excel for embedded systems (TRS-80 EEPROM).
Regarding Cutler, he wasn't alone.
Two years ago, Microsoft hired a team of researchers who had left the Digital Equipment Corporation after that company canceled plans to market an advanced computer. The team, led by David Cutler, a veteran software designer, is now producing a new version of Microsoft's OS/2 operating system called NT.
What he was saying is NT was developed by DEC on Alpha. IBM developers and DEC developers worked together. DEC was planing on having x86 DOS applications running virtually on their desktops. IBM was focused on 32bit OS/2 and DOS/Win16 emu while DEC focused on 64bit ARM and DOS/Win15 emu so it was mutual. When (or just before) IBM and MS broke their vows, Microsoft hired away most of the DEC team. Some say if Warp hadn't goofed on the installation then there would never have been a Windows95; because, DEC/Alpha and OS/2 would have run, and did run, a vast majority of Windows and DOS applications. What a lot of people don't know is NT was not the bootable OS on the development boxes. It ran in an emulator. I mean fast like on an x86 box in an emulator. Not until later did it get ported to boot on the Alpha. It is hard for me to say; but, it actually ran damn good on the Alpha. Though, the changes made to the bios to get it to run from boot fubar'd the bootup time.

Does this mean the whitefish would be angry if the robot looks like a black fish? Can't the fish just all get along?
the fish are to be lifelike in appearance and swimming behavior so they will not alarm their fellow marine inhabitants.

hmmm. I was going to suggest a meth lab followed by a field trip to Amsterdam to spend the earnings but your idea is probably safer.

So... Does this mean there really is a Santa?
+1 incorrect car analogy attempt.
Sometimes it is simply enough to take up arms (any kind of arms) to overthrow a government. Well, in France anyway.
You forgot the: A shave and a haircut 2 bits!
I thought the Dems only had one extra vote in the house and no extra's in the Senate until the 08 pres elections.

All states but one mandate it. Any lobby powerful enough to get the government to mandate you buy their product doesn't need cameras on the streets.
I for one welcome cleaner burning laptops.
You were blinded by your belief that teachers are not paid at all.

Everything about that has to be said to be only rumor so.. wink wink nudge nudge
Rumor has it, there was already a relationship between Cutler and Microsoft.
Rumor has it, Cutler already had developed an OS for some advanced computer system but didn't add a GUI to it until after moving to Microsoft.

Hasn't Id open source their stuff since the 90's? I would say that predates the MMO.
Oh cool. I'm glad Amazon did this. I got version 1 like in November or something. Now I have version 2. Thanks Amazon!

This is a plot by GUI users to spread fear uncertainty and doubt upon cli applications. May CLI live forever!
They shouldn't have revoked that scientist's H1 Visa. It is going to be a bitch tracking him down in India now.
