You really do not know how to read the news, do you? Since Chavez came to power the plight of the Venezuelan poor has massively improved. Previous presidents perused neoliberal economic policies to predictable ruination. As for surveillance, this is not that much more capable then a policeman on the corner.
Like culling thousands of black voters from the roles under the guise of them being felons before the presidential election, and not giving them any opportunity to challenge this is a hallmark of a free election? There is a big difference between getting out the vote and stopping people from voting. It does not violate basic principles of democratic government to rally supporters. It does to exclude voters improperly.
Actually, the United States maintains its energy hegemony by opposing reprocessing as a proliferation risk. Most reactors use a once-through cycle as a result. Also the chance of a disaster are pretty big. We have had 2 incidents in the past 30 years that lead to widespread contamination: Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. Neutron radiation turns a lot of things to dust, and makes them radioactive as well. Sure, the fuel might be a few tons, but what about the containment vessel, the coolant, and a lot of equipment? Nuclear is better then a lot of alternatives, but it has a lot of problems.
Sorry, but I don't like slums, pollution, recession, horrible work conditions, and increased income inequity, or any of the other effects of unbridled capitalism.
Remember Vietnam? We fought a war that knocked Vietnam back to the Stone Age and we still lost. George Bush is the greatest friend of the terrorists. Because terrorists want to spread fear, and George Bush does so by exaggerating the threat. As for cutting off funding, that should not be necessary. Congress just needs to rescind the bill that let Bush invade Iraq, and if he refuses to retreat impeach him. If Congress can start a war, Congress can stop a war.
Erlang is used for some massively parallel problems like telephone switches. SISAL outperformed Fortran on some supercomputers. Jane Street Capital uses O'caml for their transaction processing system. Lisp is used in CAD programs. So FP is being used.
Abandon C and Fortran. Functional programing makes multithreading easy and programs can be written for parallel execution with ease. And as an added benefit, goodbye buffer overflows and double frees!
Just because something is legal doesn't mean it is ethical. And I imagine using slave labor is also a good thing? Because that's just taking advantage of screwed up laws.
Social contract theory says that people give up rights to form a stable society. A Constitution defines those rights. You can think of it as a physical representation of those rights that are retained, but thinking of it as a contract is just as valid.
It seems that you have never tried reading a software patent. They describe the software in very general terms, avoiding the discussion of algorithms, computation, or anything of use in creating the invention. Instead they obfuscate the claims as much as possible. Take the page rank patent. They don't claim the algorithm, rather they claim a general method that ranks pages using the ranks of pages that link to them. How useful is that patent to a rival? Absolutely useless, unless said rival is so clueless they have no idea how to distribute computations.

He makes the output be in morse code on the NUM LOCK light on his keyboard.
This isn't a pebble bed they are putting on the ship.
Uranium is stable compared to its fission products. It is the products that are a problem.

LaTeX cannot be targeted by any loss free conversion from ODF. LaTeX is built to handle structured documents, which ODF documents are not.
They described it as preventing an exploit. That would be a feature. If I say that animal is a domesticated wolf, then I'm calling it a dog.

Uh, they said the crash prevented an exploit and so was a feature.

And Windows is written in C#? Ok:
Jane Street Capital.
A high performance Erlang webserver.
A sufficiently high voltage could overcome that.

it takes a dictator to get anything done. Peter the Great, Stalin, and now Putin are part of a Russian tradition of autocracy.
Not much. Virus writers have not been as nasty as they used to be in terms of payloads. No-one flashes BIOS anymore.
So your the one who made me lose points on that paper!

They use the term peak speeds to refer to top speeds, not top usage speeds.

It's because the representatives of the right Berkley were to stoned to make it to the meeting.
If you watched the tape in question you would see that there is nothing of interest on it.
