Free porches? Yes, that's just what my country home needed! With the money I was going to spend on all those porches, I can now buy myself a brand new Porsche!
The thing is, unlike many (but certainly not most) nerds/geeks, biologists are actually primarily concerned with getting work done rather than dicking around with their computer all day. The Mac is a great way to do this.
It's unix plus a Mac gui... and a ton of other features like spotlight, coreaudio, coreimage, etc, that can let you do some amazing things. As for "if you don't like the GUI", just run X11. I use wmii (http://www.wmii.de) under X11 daily. Install a package manager like darwinports and you really have the best of *all* worlds.
The free market is not about charging a fair price based on supply and demand; It's about charging the maximum price that the market will bare. Fairness never enters into the equation.
I wouldn't be surprised if most people reported themselves to have less of such friends even without the internet. It's entirely possible that this is how humans, who once used to be in high school or college, see themselves after they hit 30. Or after they hit 50. Or after they his 70.
Since when was Scheme object-oriented? Also, as a Schemer, I can say that in most cases there *is* a large speed penalty involved, often on the order of a magnitude (or worse). It's much more of an issue if the speed hit matters than pretending it doesn't exist.
For the record, it is also perfectly possible to write safe C code with a good deal of rigor and some basic knowledge of the platform. You certainly don't need to know how to write at a lower level as long as you understand the concepts involved and the particular features of the hardware. People do it all the time and plenty of libraries exist to enable this.
And finally, people hardly switched to Java for "no apparent reason". It's not in the least my language of choice, but for some groups it has a distinct number of advantages over C or C++. In summary, I'm convinced you have no idea what you're talking about.
Depending on your definition of 2D, I think the Fallout serious is perhaps the best looking computer game ever. Beautiful painted backgrounds, clever setting elements, and the consistency to truly create another world. Perhaps it is the best CRPG ever actually. They don't make em like they used to...
And i would wish the people who are annoyed with the way things are going in u.s. would migrate to europe.
What, like a bird mate? Shall I come back in three months? I think that's just called a vacation.
Remember you don't "buy" copyrighted material (and you never could). Instead, you license it from the copyright holder. And, the copyright holder has every right to say you broke the law and drag you into court if you break that copyright agreement.
You're making a mistake here. A platform that requires learning as you say is bad, yes. However, in Nethack you just die until you get the fundamentals of the game down. From that point on, it is smooth sailing. This applies to almost any games, even sports.
Slashdot Mirror
It has a Gameranking score of 93% on the PC while Morrowind has a score of 88% on the PC.
Oh, well in that case...

Er... /usr/lib is located at /usr/lib. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
I hope you're kidding.

Who cares? If $37,000,000,000 to charity is the ugly face of Microsoftian capitalism, sign me up!

Certainly true. Here's an two examples of OO implementations in Scheme that use prototypes instead of classes:
:-)

* http://www.neilvandyke.org/protobj/
As you might guess, I don't care for classes.
www.iolanguage.com is a good example of this.
and a virtual keyboard/mouse appears.

Wow. Really thinking outside the box there.
You have not a single fucking clue what you're talking about. Read ANYTHING on the topic before commenting further.

While TIT is great, soon I hear they'll be forming a nice pair with the TIS (Tokyo Institute of Science) department. I wonder what they'll call it?

in the end only kindness matters.
Thanks Jewel.
How do you define "malware"?
Hell man... I'm paying $800 to run wmii. $600 for xfce is a deal!
Sorry -- My point was that you are allowed to sell the copy you bought, not that you're allowed to make copies.

This is just patently wrong. It's called first-sale doctrine:

You don't die when you play a computer game either.
