The OpenCD will always be a bit behind the latest version. Not only are the producers always testing new versions, but they are also packaging them with installers, instructions, translations and other helpful stuff. The idea is to get working software to Windows users, not to be bleeding edge. You can download a copy of The OpenCD and hand it out to friends without worrying about whether they are going to come back and complain that you trashed their PC.
Being a psychopath in a cooperative society is an expression of the Prisoner's Dilemma. You increase your own reward at the expense of everyone else. As long as their are few psychopaths, the few do well. If everyone were a psychopath, then society would fall apart.
Of course! That was so obvious. I was just saying to someone yesterday, "I wonder what the correct setting for RestrictAnonymous is in my registry?" Then it hit me. One would naturally set it to the number of windows upgrades that I've had to do in the last 5 years + the number of blue screens divided by the number of disk upgrades that I've had to do to keep up with bloated software!
A parsec is the distance that something has to be to have an apparent motion of 1 second of arc relative to the big shell on the back of the giant turtle during the course of a year. Since for small angles sin x ~= x, it means that an object 10 pc away will have about 0.1 second of apparent motion. That makes it very useful for astronomers, or anyone with a super ultra-fine adjustment on their camera tripod.
For reference, a degree is about 100km along the Earth's equator. A minute is about 1 mile and a second is about 100 ft. (or about 0.1 Libraries of Congress)*
Hi. I was driving past and noticed that your roof is in pretty bad shape. I just happen to have a load of premium shingles left over from doing Bill Gates' roof, so I can do it for just the labor cost and save you a bundle. You just need to put 50% down and I'll start in 3 days. [after the check clears]
Why do something obviously wrong? Simpler would be:
Free linux game - rootkit.rpm, just download and install. Oops, must be root to install this rpm.
How many people have downloaded and installed (as root of course) without worrying where the code came from? There's no FBI check to get a Sourceforge project started. What's the odds that at least some of them have or create security holes?
Since users can't be depended on to keep their systems updated, there is a simple fix. MS could just have HM keep an updated list of malicious sites. Then IE could periodically download the list and block you from visiting them. This would prevent people from accidentally downloading viruses, spyware or Linux onto their machine.
parsing - yacc spits out C code, not assembly. Maybe you can't write a good parser in C, but yacc can.
memory, stack frame, registers - What language does allow you to touch any of these? The whole point of a language is to abstract the machine so you don't have to deal with the actual hardware. These things are managed by the compiler, not by the language.
CRT monitors frequently have 3 grades. Viewsonic has E (economy), G (general) and P (pro) models. Specs vary accordingly, but I'm not sure if failure rate is different.
They don't even need to do anything that radical. You are free to buy and own the hardware and they will never do anything to hurt it. The code in flash is software, which you are licensing according to their EULA. Break the EULA and you lose access to your^Wtheir firmware.
Yes, I have a hydrogen mine in my back yard. Where did you think hydrogen came from? You didn't think they use natural gas to generate hydrogen do you? That's just a lie from those damned environmentalists. Good thing I wasn't sucked into ignoring good clean hydrogen as a fuel source.
I think if you really want a quiet PC, get rid of the disk, as well. Mount a network drive from a server room. This simplifies backup, sharing, expansion and reduces the cost and heat at the desktop. As for CD/DVD, I really don't want a 52X drive that sounds like an airliner taking off, but you can't buy 8X drives anymore. That just leaves the high-frequency from the HV supply in the CRT monitor, but a flat-panel LCD will look better on my desk anyway.
How do you know that didn't happen? Maybe ID is correct and the universe is a simulation running in the D's lab (or on the D's laptop, assuming He has a lap).

Ruby selectively integrates many good ideas taken from Perl, Python, Smalltalk, Eiffel, ADA, CLU, and LISP.
They won't listen to complaints of any kind.

* Who says using LOC as a measurement is a Kluge?
"the bar is oriented at about a 45-degree angle relative to the main plane of the galaxy"
I'm pretty sure that this means "Do not enter" according to international standards.
No. Its usually more on the lines of -

The top of the page return for Yahoo is
"Failure on eBay Find failure items at low prices. "
which illustrates the most important difference between Yahoo and Google.

Your counterexamples make no sense.

Like how to count parens? I spent a lot of time doing:
1 2 3 3 3 3 2 2 3 4 4 3 3 3 2 1
That's why I always rub bacon on the shrink-wrap and let my dog open it. Then he's bound by the EULA, not me.

Thanks for the link. Its worth it just to read the comments.

Relative sizes:
/year /year
External tank = 51,000 cubic feet x 12 launches per year (optimistic)
~= 6e5 cubic feet of fuel / year
my car = 10 gallon fillup x 52 fills
~= 70 cubic feet
So a shuttle ~= 9000 cars
