  1. Re:Too bad it's not a real Orion on NASA's Orion Moon Craft Unveiled · · Score: 2

    The Ad Astra Rocket Company, headed by Dr Franklin Chang Díaz. has already built an experimental prototype version of its Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket (VASIMR)

    Did Robert A. Heinlein's ghost ghost write that article? :-)

    Sorry, was trying to make a point about apples and oranges, not heap stink on Erlang (a language I found to be just beautiful after a week or so of deep unlearning). :-)

    ha, at least a nice reply. You are not a butt-hurt loud mouth like one of the above poster. Thank yuo

    Oh, you wanted an answer. Honestly, it never crossed my mind that you were doing anything but trolling about a difficult problem lots of smart folks are dilligently working on that have been discussed for years.

    My apologies, I thought this was yet another insouciant probe along the lines of "Oh, is Perl object-orented?" or "Gosh, do people use OpenBSD?". Sorry to prompt that wounded tone from you there.

    Oh, and for reference, your (indirect) response requires "neckbeard" or a veiled reference to the autism spectrum to be canon. Just as mine requires a "My fault for feeding the trolls"

    Yes! Python now rides atop an erlang/mach core that, to quote Guido VanRossum "feels like floating on a cloud of titties". It also now has a CickinInABiscuit module that imports a savory cracker right into your interpreter! (Did I mention the interpreter now has sharper ">"'s and is fully compatible with STFU?

    There has been some discussion of this on the handbrake forum.

    Nothing decided one way or the other, but the handbrake devs seem to be a pretty motivated bunch.

    Just create a new solution platform from the configuration manager.

    So I convert the configuration manager to a drinks trolley?

    Gad, I'm confused.

  16. Re:Use C# on Why Teach Programming With BASIC? · · Score: 1

    I was recently forcibly dismounted from my high horse by Douglas Crockford's comment vis. JavaScript: "It's the only language in the world that people think they can use without learning it first." (from memory, I'm lazy).

    Ouchie.

    I love python myself, and have always thought "those choads puling about whitespace need to *learn* the language first!". . .then went right on to badmouth JS, Perl and Ruby as utter garbage. Of course they are utter garbage in their own ways, as is python. Of course, all of them are possessed of absolutely fantastic features, otherwise they would not inspire love.

    In short: you are all a bunch of douchebags and idiots. I know this, because of my long and storied existence as a douchebagging idiot. Come let us reason together. And drink tea. Pop-Tart?

    Lining up the LHS is one thing. How about lining up the RHS? Or components of a statement? Like the below pseudocode? How would you do something like that in python?

    http://pastebin.com/GjvLbhxZ Almost exactly like you did it with your pseudocode. :-)

  21. Re:Audit necessary on De Raadt Doubts Alleged Backdoors Made It Into OpenBSD · · Score: 1

    From TFA:

    Since Perry's allegations were made public, developers have found two new bugs in OpenBSD, but de Raadt said Tuesday that he thinks that neither of them is a back door.

    In fact, de Raadt seems to think that the whole incident has helped OpenBSD. "I am happy that people are taking the opportunity to audit an important part of the tree which many had assumed -- for far too long -- to be safe as it is," he said.

    Good catch, and good point. :-) I'm with holding judgment on the NDA until it is released to the world. Mr. Perry may not be legally able to do that, though.

    True. I'm sure people are combing the commits from that era pretty heavily as we write.
