    Theorem. Javascript is Turing-complete. Proof. Brainfuck is Turing-complete. Any Brainfuck program can be converted to JavaScript (it is well known how to do this in C, and it's easily ported.) Therefore, JavaScript is a superset of the functionality of Brainfuck. QED.

    Assa (same company, different brand however) are also unpicked, at least in competition. But they have two rows totaling 13 pins.

    The spoon is a lie.

    No, they use Scheme. It is MIT, so a non-LISP is not good enough.

    Nonetheless, it redirects through each node end-to-end encrypted, with a new layer each time. That's why it's called "onion routing." You go through perhaps five computers on the way there, and you would have to have control of all five to link the sender and recipient.

    You could just use Tor; that knocks out 2 and 3. I actually find it fast enough for most uses.

  17. Re:Number One Thing on What Would You Do As President? · · Score: 1

    Living in Alaska will teach you the following: that the Anchorage Bowl (the city and surrounding area) is packed. And getting more packed. And you can't go east because there are mountains there. You can't go south because there's water there. You can't go north because the military has it staked out. And you can't go west because there's water there. This bridge, however, would let you go west and expand the city more. It actually has a use.

  19. Re:Why Ruby? on Ruby 1.9.0 Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought that the ? suffix meant "this makes no modifications and only returns a certain property, usually boolean" and ! meant "this modifies the "self" object. Example: foo.gsub!(/f/, 'g') would modify 'foo' directly, where foo.gsub(/f/, 'g') would return a new string but leave the old one unmodified.

    So .8 was a 6 MB download, and now 2.0.0.9 is a 6 MB download. That what you're saying? Or did you mean that .8 was after decompression and 2.0.0.9 is before?

  23. Water on Whose Laws Apply On the ISS? · · Score: 1

    Those of us who _make_ beds put this big fat pillow in front of/behind our real pillow. The cover on that is called a pillow sham. So it's basically a large, fancy pillowcase.
