Yeah, slashdot should move to the Scoop engine

Someone who won at/least/ a gold medal, more likely multiple medals to do it and then yes, those conditions would get ripped out. But anyone less would get steamrollered without that much fuss I think.
Is a NUMA OS (eg think 256 processors with their own memory) but is meant to work on a uniprocessor as well. I mention it because it's microkernel-ish and being developed by IBM.
I've heard it's also due to China's fast growth; that car buying is booming. This can't be the totality of how gas jumped so much in 6 months though (if it were, it'd keep climbing at the same rate and we'd be screwed). Maybe that's a gas-company line.
Second, if it becomes worthwhile at the current high prices to extract more expensive gas, well, that won't make the gas price drop, it'll only, keep it from going too much higher.
Trying to control people's conversation?

... let's not go overboard, okay?
Explain why what people say is overboard, instead of trying to command people.
These Rod things supposedly wriggle through the air at high speed, and are hard to catch on camera.
Unfortunately the website doesn't have all the arguments & evidence it used to - now it just sells stuff. It seems unlikely to be true, but it'd be cool if it were.
so they should theoretically be accountable; but of course, there's nothing to stop them from being cleverer than the others about disguising its origins.
There were a couple of lucky weaknesses with DVDs - slackness in protecting their keys, and the SPDIF(?) loophole. Alas, we may be sure they'll have closed those and will take much greater care, generalizing the language and bringing protections up to the state of the art. They're not going to let it happen again.
A human can pick up another game and learn it, and get better at it. He/she can notice shortcuts / regularities in the way the game works that reduces the amount of thinking s/he has to do, build a higher level, meaningful way of looking at the game. You can drop a human into any novel situation and they'll similarly figure out the rules, and shortcuts.
We handle it completely differently - we rely on this ability, and chess programs look ahead some 15 or more moves, where humans supposedly top out at about 6.
Now, if you think of Kasparov making a close game with a specially written, highly-refined program with his general purpose brain, look at it as the measure of what it takes to beat our brains! 15-20 move lookahead! It validates the brains' elegant and powerful design.
You said it, but, people aren't to blame for letting it slip past them; the restrictions on its use make it non-Free Software, even though they've revised the license in the hopes of getting it taken up. I wonder though, even if it were to become fully open - would it even be possible to integrate it with Unix / Linux, or reimplement *nix as a subset? Ie, is there even a path for it to become mainstream, now?
though Oz is a bit wilder than most mainstream languages.
Get the book
free while you can; it's gotten high praise, a real treat for getting a wide view of different styles of computer programming. It compares favorably with
SICS.
Even if it started out high. I think male chimps move between troops, so the 'within a single troop' bit was just to make a point; but, probably the diversity within any given troop is maintained by contact with others further afield. Whereas humans maybe at one point were only one or a few troops.
http://lambda.weblogs.com/discuss/msgReader$1200 BTW it's a new language but it's gaining buzz... at least with my logic programming teacher (and I do believe in fact more widely). Interestingly it has a.NET version.

You must be new here. It's due to their 1-click business-practice patent, some years ago.
/new/ books there.
I'm not infinitely serious but, that's why the slashdot links use bn.com instead of amazon.
And I for one don't buy
the t that's n
So it boosts US programmers' jobs up until the election, then drops them again. How cynical, and sick.
It's .ogg

it rotates with a slit, it's more for pictures of static scenery, than normal snapshots.
and now everyone can use the technology, though not the name.

Ok, t. Stupid slashcode :)
Great; it's probably possible now to implement Karl Sims' old evolving 3D creatures. Anyone know of other free libs besides SOLID?

They'll have learned from their mistakes.

I didn't realize it had been the subject of an article here already.
