Sorry, but if you use Arch Linux and you don't know about AUR, you are missing a very good tool. There's a PKGBUILD for resynthetizer right here: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=6823
I can't agree with you about virtual machines easing the making of parallel programs. There is nothing they can do to make a multi-threaded program correct if the programmer is sloppy. When you talk in parallelization in applications, you are almost likely talking of threads and the inherent problem about them is the sharing of state (data) between two or more threads. This will require synchronization and it is not a straightforward reasoning to get. And it is solely on the shoulders of the programmer, not the runtime or the language.
Nothing against your post, it is a good one. But there's one thing that anyone noted before: Paulo Coelho is a *bad* writer.
Even in his mother language (portuguese), he manages to produce grammar errors (I know this is a bad job from the proof readers, but anyway, for someone that belongs to the Brazilian Academy of Letters, it is not acceptable. That academy used to have members that influenced the language for more than a century.. oh well, they seem to accept anyone nowadays...).
And the subjects are plain bullshit. Witchery and utter nonsense. Only interesting to brain damaged as the author himself.
I wouldn't want any of his books even if he paid me to get it.
Oh, and I'm brazilian and I know what I'm talking about.
Slashdot Mirror
A news item about Yahoo! and Bing has an icon of Google. That says a lot.
But great documentation from Arch is not an oxymoron.
I wish I had modpoints... +1 insightful from me.

What would you expect from a BadAnalOrgyGuy??
LOL
I am from Brazil and was allways trying to find funy meanings to the party acronyms. My congrats! You hit it right in the head!
