What do you mean? Common Lisp at least has some good compilers; for example, with proper and sufficient declarations SBCL can compile code that rivals C for speed, at least for numerical code.
You can write an OS in a garbage collected language. (The Lisp machines did it)
I don't see why you can't write a video codec in a garbage collected language. (A good garbage collector and a program that generates little/no garbage helps)
Garbage collection in some cases can be faster than manual memory management.
With the proper tools, a high level language can be as fast as C.
PZ Myers recently made a post on Pharyngula about this topic. He came to the conclusion that growing meat on domesticated animals is the best way to grow meat.
Really that slow? Which implementation did you use?
There are portable libraries for SQL, networking, GUI, and threads.
Could you also give an example for "it is possible for a file to exist on the system that the Lisp process is unable to open without resorting to non-standard functions"?
The thing that I like about the Dvorak layout is that it is a standard, so one can easily remap the keys on a computer using software usally included with the OS.
What about the people who would want to remap their keyboard (just to try the layout out) to this style?
About the part of technology in the topic, I wonder how tech will change the way we live our lives in the US (that seems to becoming more fascist everyday).
Laissez-faire capitalism is made for a totalitarian government (or the other way around)
Socialism is made for democracy/republic (because the basis of Socialism is democracy/republic, you could also say Socialism is a extension of democracy/republic)

On the Dvorak home row the longest word is "tendentiousness" (according to my /usr/share/dict/words)
For Common Lisp, the Common Lisp HyperSpec is hard to beat, though at times a book like Practical Common Lisp can be a little more useful.

Notice the "... science and reason ..."
All what is needed now is an implementation of Javascript in Java (and possibly have it be compiled).

Does this mean Emacs Pinky is just evil VI propaganda?
One program that was created using Common Lisp is Maxima.
[Microsoft] has also expressed fears that making its source code public could allow hackers to find security holes in Microsoft products
I guess Microsoft thinks having many eyes on the source won't work as well as it does for the open source projects...
The universe! Maybe it already runs on Linux...
What would happen if you were root...
What would happen if MS tried to do it under the Reverse Engineering exception? (Sect. 1201 (f))
Ok, that wouldn't most likely happen, but still?
But is is going to be as fun as the real thing?
National Socialism and Socialism ARE VERY DIFFERENT.
Screensavers on windows are just executables.
You could use the mouse without it quitting...

Why would it be so hard to remap the controls for the game?

I fail to see how this is like Communism.
This relates to Fascism much more than Communism.
What would happen if the viruses become smarter and avoid the honeypot computers?
I wonder how this relates to dreams and lucid dreams.
Don't forget the worlds smallest violin...

Three things that I can see happening:
1)GNU/Linux goes mainstream faster
2)Macs go mainstream
3)Both 1+2
