But you can't run a server according to the TOS. I'm going with a DSL provider that specifically allows me to run my own servers. I have only 128K up, but that's enough for what I want to do.
Every time one of them call me up and try to sell me a cable modem, I ask them if they have anything that runs as fast as a regular modem, but with a static IP. They think I'm screwey, but I really want to run my own servers and I don't care how fast things go. That way I can block all of Korea from my mail server. I am sick of getting spammed through Asian middle schools.
Thankfully, I just became eligible for DSL at my house, so I'm getting that.
Thanks for the specific examples with code, they help immensely. But one question... You described how to specify the action, such as a logging action that happens on every method in a class.
Does the code that causes a class to utilize an aspect look something like this?
class foo using aspect PublicErrorLogging {
/* some methods here, all of which will be logged if they are called */
}
Thanks. Your comment has cleared the subject up immensely. I have found that a lot of new technologies are surrounded by a lot of fuzzy, impenetrable management speak. Just take a look at.NET - nobody can figure out what the hell it is. I am but a simple programmer, and your examples have definitely shown me that aspects are going to be an important thing in future languages.
Did you tell him that Microsoft will soon be out of business because they hire salesmen that insult their customers? Did you ask him if his boss knew that he insulted customers by telling them they will be out of business.
Good salesmen are helpful people that can help you solve a problem. Salesmen that just try to sell you something are idiots.
1) Spy satellites are the size of Hubble. So quit wondering and check out what the satellites can do. Things are classified, but the wisdom of the net can't be far off the capabilities.
2) Hubble doesn't have adaptive optics, so if you pointed it down you'd have lousy pictures.
3)Keck in orbit: check out the next generation space telescope. It is supposed to be launched in 2009.
Let's break down parts of our problems in a functional way. Then, let's group our functions together into modules, so that functions in a module are related.
Then, let's call it AOP and hope the old Modula-2 programmers don't notice.
Can someone explain exactly what is new about AOP?
That's it? That's all you can muster? There's an obvious counter to your statement that's left as an excercise for the reader. (Hint: it's a logical NOT of your statement)
Go back to school and learn some mathematics and physics. Think deeply about the subject. Then come back to me.

The police will soon think she's an idiot. Plus, depending on your local laws, you can sue her for barratry. Of course, technically that would be barratry.:-)
Machines can be unpredicatable too. We have machines that generate random numbers (not pseudo random, but REAL random).
Sorry, you lose. You base your whole argument on the notion that people are unpredictable, but machines are predictable. A random number generator based on a quantum principle like radioactive decay is just as unpredictable as a human, and therefore indistinguishable by your criteria.
The second minor point is about the "escaping the destiny" concept you brought up. Anyone who has heard of and understands quantum mechanics will recognize the argument as flawed. The randomness in the universe precludes a destiny being created for anyone. The idea that the universe works like a clockwork, with all future states being calculable from the initial state hasn't been believed for about 100 years.
I'm not saying that you are wrong. I am saying that your argument is COMPLETELY unpersuasive.
What do you mean that my body is not all that I am made of? Bodies are composed of atoms and molecules. We can write chemical formulae for everything that composes a human. This is a no-brainer.
The actions of a human are the result of a very complex machine. Way more complex than anything we can build out of silicon or plastic, but a machine nevertheless.
Are you implying that what a person is, does, and thinks is not completely supported by the physical body and brain?
Flash more convenient? Sure, you're right. I'll just whip one up on my Debian box right now. Wait a sec, you mean that I need to have something more than vi and ftp to publish information? Strange definition of convenience you have.
Swish and boom is something that gives marketing folks a hardon. Swish and boom does little for me.
Flash truly sucks. It really does nothing better than text.
A horse requires a lot of work to maintain; flash requires a lot of time to download on my modem.
A car can be driven away as fast as you can start it and put it into gear - maintenance is just a couple hours every few months; text downloads almost immediately on my modem.
That's the difference between flash and a car, and it's why flash sucks. I think it also says something about argument by analogy.

Imagine that it's 1983, and I decided that I wanted to filter out everything that wasn't of particular interest to me at that time.
Now, jump ahead to 2002. I would have missed all the great leaps of the past 20 years. I wouldn't even have a clue that I would want a beowulf cluster of Commodore 64's! I might even post a comment like this to Ask Slashdot: "Hello Slashdot, I was in a restaurant the other day and I overheard some people laughing hysterically about something called Amiga. It sounded really fun. Doesn anyone know if I can buy one?" Oh, I would have been just like Rip Van Winkle if I had managed to filter out everything that wasn't of interest to me.

I'd like to get 10,000 bombs than a single nuclear weapon. Does this mean that we shouldn't prevent mail bombs?
Austin isn't like that though. My house is 2200 square feet and for what I paid for it, I could have afforded 5000 square feet in Michigan.

I know more about it than you, obviously! Do you suppose that a quantum computer (when it is built) will not be considered as a machine?

So put the battery in the helmet. Lead poisoning of the head is almost always fatal, so a little lithium won't hurt.
