Sure writing an idiotic GC is easy. Why don't you post the code for a generational garbage collector instead of this piece of junk, and then we will compare the size.
Writing a good GC is NOT easy, thats why there are so few of them. (for instance ref counting SUCKS!)
I think you might change your mind about what kind of crazy stuff these governmental nutjobs can do and get people to go along with. (read Stalin, and the Russian people).
Just because we have a theory of everything doesn't mean that anything useful can be computed using it. Just look at QCD. We have all these great theories about quarks, but nuclear engineers can't use them because they are so ridiculously complicated. The engineers use the "fictional" pion exchange model. Just goes to show you. The answer to life, the universe, and everything may be more complicated then you'd have hoped. God didn't neccessarily make the universe so that it would be easy to calculate.
Unenforcible legislation, means SELECTIVELY enforced legislation. So when they go knocking down your door and confiscate your computer for using an annonymizer, don't blame me.
Dude! Do you even know what a Bose-Einstien condensate is? Maybe you should READ, before you say something stupid. BEC's can be used for switching because of the incredible phase lag that they cause (READ: the speed of light in a BEC can be counted in 10's of miles/hour), which is ideal for switching.
What about ELF? Those run unmodified on x86 under FBSD and Linux.
The original poster must have been smoking crack, because Running binaries on a different arch, and running x86 linux bins on FBSD, are two totally different things. Unless of course they are only talking about x86 Solaris.

PL/I jeeze... ok it may be better then c but... we don't have to go COMPLETELY full circle. Why not something more modern, like clean or ML?
You should read something by Solzheneetsen.

He obviously has never used lisp, or he would know that all the things he wants in a language are already present in lisp.
Actually a mix of ML and lisp in my opinion would be really handy... (with lisp syntax of course
Doesn't this whole binary compatibility thing ignore platforms other then x86?

I sware they have them bubble eyed dog-boys down in linear valey!
We're all D-E-V-O !

Jacobian
Liquid Helium is most probably a Bose-Einstien condensate. Bose-Einstein switching devices could be practical at several degrees K.

This clearly shows that in fact, I am smoking crack.
