It's not very C-like; if I had to pick a language it _is_ like, it'd be Forth, but with the ability to have syntax. Not at all unpleasant.
Anyhow, one interesting result of the Forth-like nature is that there are a huge number of datatypes which are not possible in other languages; for example, URLs are actually formal datatypes, not just another string (a malformed URL is a compile-time error).
They've obviously learned from Perl and Python otherwise; it's a nicely dynamic language which seems to be error-tolerant, and has quick, easy syntax for most needs.
I'm reasonably happy with it. It doesn't look as _nice_ as Python, but at least its braces and brackets have a purpose. It's not nearly as messy as perl can get, either.
Very interesting, however I only see that the article only talked about recounts. You can recount illegally placed ballots all day long and still get the same count. It's how they got the ballots that matter.
I have a neighbor who is from Chicago, her family has lived there for quite a while. Her grandfather died in 1952 but yet he's been voting in every presidential election since 1960.
On an aside... It's interesting that today's Daley (and Jesse Jackson also) are both complaining so much about the 'butterfly ballot.' Both of them vote in Cook County, which, incodently, uses the butterfly ballot. They've never seemed to mind it before though.
Frankly, I couldn't care less if he had oral sex with Monica. He could have fucked every prostitute in DC for all I care. The thing that I do have a problem with is that he lied under oath about it. PERJURY! Remember, that's the same thing that Nixon went down for, but at least Nixon had the balls (no pun intended) to resign.
Clinton didn't run again because he can't, presidents are limited to 10 years. So, if you're VP and the president dies, you can take over for at most 2 years and then be eligible for 2 more terms (8 years). Or, you can just be elected for at most 2 terms.
Even five years ago this type of thing would never even have been imagined! An open source operating system? Yeah right! In wide-spread use? No way! Investing in something that you don't own? You're crazy!
Now, try to imagine the state of open source in another five years! Paying for an operating system for which you don't even have access to the code? You're nuts!
people with any knowledge already know that accessing a site with passwords over http is never going to be secure.
Oh contrair, sir fuckhead. When was the last time that you saw a website get hacked by somone packet sniffing? Huh? That's what I thought! Shut up and go away you facking ignorant fuckhead punk.
Transm: Yeah, but we hired these great phd candidates who had been working on the idea for three years before we even got started. They gave us a head start.
Of course, I have no idea if something like that is correct. Or, perhaps, Transmeta is fishing for more venture capital. God, they've burned $100 mil already...
When the record and film industries go after someone they sue, which is a civil matter. Nothing goes onto your record unless you perjure yourself. (or if you happen to be the president, that won't go on your record either)
"Now more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature.... If the next centennial does not find us a great nation... it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."
- James Garfield, 1877
"For instance, I saw a poll on Vote.com about the NY Senate race debate. 91% (when I last looked) said Rick Lazio won the debate. Politcal ideology aside, do you think that poll was accurate?"
Actually I do believe that... he whipped her little lipo-sucked ass. (all partisanship aside, of course)
I had an athlon 300a overclocked to 450 for a little under a year. It never got terribly hot, but eventually it just died. By being dead I mean that it just started spewing out errors, more and more often until I got a new chip. Then all was ok.
>The liscence itself is representative of that, and yes, we 'own' liscences--i.e., we can sell them, trade them, give them away, etc.
Actually that's wrong. A license is exactly that... a license. There is transer of ownership. A license is a contract that grants the licensee the right to use something, in this case it grants you the right to use software. A license cannot be sold either. The entity to which the software is licensed can sometimes be changed, in effect transfering, the license, but this is dependent on whether or not the terms of the license allow it.
ever thought that perhaps your motherboard together with linux just don't like the having another card near the tnt? I know that that sounds dumb, but in my experience as a pc tech, stuff like that does happen- more often than you'd think.
yeah! let's spend $10 billion and scatter the planet with 1500 of these things! Imagine what our great great great grandkids would think when they continue to find them 150 years form now.... WTF?

I can't find the URL for Kitty Lick 3! I've been waiting for months for this game to come out, and now that it is, I can't figure out how to get it!
Oh, and the MP3 propoganda at Modern Humorist is pretty sweet too...

I know that it is mildly entertaining, but please don't feed the trolls.
don't ya just love a good flame war?
because today we have the EFF. thank God for the EFF.

oh well, hopefully you've got karma to spare.

na, it can't be perfect... I for one would go nuts.

ever watched Daria (sp?) ?
well... freebsd's tcp/ip stack has an open enough license for apple to use it in OS X, so I assume it's BSD.
contrary to popular opinion, the GPL is more restrictive and less free than the BSD.
so do unix hackers... ;)
