I call Bullshit. First, in the relevant counties in Flordia, the election commisioner, Mrs. Harris was a Republican. Secondy e-voting machines by Diebold can be broken easily. This is a company that makes ATMs. They should be able to make secure machines, but they choose not to. Yeah, it's a conspiracy theory, but theory has facts behind it. As for disruption, the Republican allocation of voting booths in Ohio was very skewed. A evengelical collage had 1 machine for 100 people, while a bigger, more democratic one had 1 per over 1,0000 people, just to mention an egregious example. Exit polls, which the US uses to judge the fairness of forigen elections, didn't match the results with any degree of accuracy. These are all facts. So what part of this is 'balderdash hookum'?
Not bounded memory. It just has to run forever. If the system has an infinite amount of memory, that memory can be consumed by the recusion and that is propert tail recursion. Not that that would matter at all in reality.
Azerus supports the use of the Joltid peer cache for downloads. Someone suggested dynamic, public IP's. You could use IPv6. Although it doesn't make sense: Bittorent works through NAT's very well. But if there are bandwith issues then use a cache.
You can't do research without equipment of some form. That's what universities and goverment grants are for: Paying for research that benifits us all. Sure, you can collaberate online, but until you set up a collision between reality and speculation you haven't done real science. Now this article is about education. It used to be that Doctor(as in PhD, or ScD) was considered a title like that of an earl or duke in Europe. Faking it was a crime that could lead to long terms of imprisionment. But then ~1950 people started becoming more disrespectful twords learning. They viewed it as a means to an end of money, not as enriching ones life or valuble for everyone else. This happened more in some subjects then others. Can you see a doctor in medicine just for the money? By reading Lambda the Ultimate or Ars Technica you are learning because you want to learn. No one is going to pay you more for knowing about resource-boundeness proofs for a functional language on the JVM (well, almost no one.), or about the inside workings of a POWER chip if you are a software maker. It's just because we like knowlage that we do it. The vast majority of people don't appreciate learning, and that is their loss.
A lot of iTunes users had large CD collections before iTunes. So saying that most of their music is on CD is a pretty misleading statistic. Better is to look at music bought in the last n weeks.
Riiiight. So Scientific American, Popular Mechanics, RFCs, Arvix, CitSeer et al. aren't reliable? Granted, for articles about a standard that's a problem, but not most of the time. And everyone has a $popular_subject book, not the same one. So for looking up specific references a problem exists, but not for fact checking.
That will not work. The only thing to do is destroy the platters. The residual magnatism will permit anyone with a sensitive detector to read the disk. You need to destroy the platters to make the disk unreadable.
IANAL, but I belive that that standing has to be proven when the suit is filed, and the judge can throw it out for lack of standing if he belives that the person filing it wasn't harmed by the claimed actions of the defendant. Of course, this is a very low threshold.
Paul Wilke wants the case settled now. The RIAA say they don't have enough evidence, and so are asking for a faster discovery. Basically the RIAA didn't have evidence before the suit, and so want more time to come up with something.
The CLI JIT makes the stack locations into register assignments. That cannot be done for dynamic languages for a varity of reasons. So the code is register based to begin with, eliminating a few steps. CLI calling conventions are traditional, so Scheme will fail without Cheny on the MTA or Trampolines. Parrot calling conventions are continuation-based, so Scheme works out with tail-recursion. Parrot has more fancy functions like halversine and gcd. And Parrot does not use a single class library for each language like CLI does. So parrot is a better choice.
Yeah, they did screw up. Parrot will beat CLI for speed in dynamic languages by huge magnitudes of speed because it is designed for them. CLI is optimized for static languages. It's a very different idea. Calling conventions, instruction sets, internal types, even stack vs. register. They are very diffent animals.

How many of these are based on methods that are centuries old, like Projective Gauss-Siegel? And how many are just plain obvious?

Guess it isn't secure, as proven by its inability to withstand access by slashdoters.
The article says it should be compared to KDE or GNOME, not Flukebox or BlackBox in terms of functionality vs. system load.

Only if you don't use a mechanical device.
Just one letter error is to boring to point out.

A lot of people depended on NetBSD for embeded software development. What is going to replace it? It's kind of sad to see a standard die like this.

It's a hole you can't fix. If I can download it for watching, I can save it. There is no way around that.
The router costs something. But you are correct in noting the amortized infastructure cost is zero.

So how do you watch Battleship Galactica and Stargate?
Yes. But no one has tracked the operators of goatse.cx down so you are out of luck.
Scheme is smaller, try that. How about a common instruction set for functional languages, like...Parrot!

What does Terry Prachet have to do with a segway? I have Feet of Clay and could stand on a segway!
For 200 years. Most works only last 10 years. So for 190 years no one is making money because no one can sell it. That's just wrong.
Why not have the browser do this in the first place? What's the point of having a different program doing it?
