If you look at the Kawa package, which produces Java bytecodes from the scheme language, you find that exactly this problem. Scheme continuations cannot be fully expressed as Java bytecodes, so you can't use them and still produce runnable Java programs. CLR will have the same limitations.
Postscript and Portable Document Format are proprietary but fully open. Adobe is in full control for the format but chooses to be a good citizen when it comes to PDF interoperability. Too bad they aren't as nice to foreign nationals who crack their more secret formats.
I am a big fan of the asteroid science being produced by Aracebo and the VLA and am saddened that these programs are being reduced. However, both programs focus on radar imaging of near earth asteroids (and the results have been spectacular too), not discovery. New astroids are almost exclusively identified by visual or IR techniques. So identification of earth crossing asteroids should continue uneffected.
It is a sad fact that basic space science must go begging while we pump untold billions into the space station. The space station is a political experiment, nothing more.
Perl is a useful language for managing text. As such it is an improvement on languages such as awk. But extending its use to OO development, patterns and such is absurd. There are many other languages far more suited to the task. The fact is Perl programming is for bottom-rung, quick and dirty scripting. Making it do much more is a waste of time.
I have experience with both. If you are developing a Java app, or specifically one that employs JSP servlets, EJB, etc. your best choice is Ant. Its builtin rules are very nice. Your project should build routinely on any Unix of M$ Windows. Autoconf should be used for C/C++ builds for Unix where the system libraries and includes must be closely scrutinized.
Right on brother. Why overload the use of port 80 to placate security administrators? The fundemental principle of IP ports is to provide channels to individual services. A system isn't secure just because a fewer ports are open.
You would think that Raymond would have used one of the millions of available scripting languages/file formats to do this. XML is the most obvious choice. I can't imagine that Linus will let this braindamage into the kernel tree.
I don't know why you scored 0 for this. I work in Tulsa for another big telecom company. Your observations are right on. WorldCom is a dreary place for hackers.
This horrible event is not a coincidence. It is the 3rd wave (Anthrax scare being the second) of a well coordinated attack by Al-Qaeda. The similarities to September 11 are obvious. Attack a large airliner, fueled for a long flight, early in the morning, in a densely settled area so as to produce maximum damage. The cause was almost certainly a bomb with a barometric trigger. I hope this quells the silly talk about slowing the attack during Ramadan. We need to smoke these fools in big way.
Emacs is surely the best IDE development in any language. The code formatting, compiling, and debugging modes are second to none. Why would you want to use a silly graphical tool that did much less?
I am a little puzzled that Alan has any final say in the matter. Linus is widely acknowledged as the final arbiter of what features the new kernel contains. Why should he kowtow to Alan or anyone else? Does Alan's increased stature come about because he is threatening a Red Hat fork?
Prevailing opinion suggests that the Tunguska event was caused by a comet striking the Earth's atmosphere at a low angle. I saw no evidence in the article to suggest otherwise. It is not clear that very small asteroids can be "rubble piles" like Mathilde. There is virtually no gravitational field to provide cohesion.
The Linux kernel is already forked. Linus' and the AC kernal have never been fully synched in even the 2.2 branch let alone the 2.4. We all know AC excels in maintaining the stable branch, but with 2.4 the handoff from Linus to AC has not been clear. AC has eroded Linus' authority. This is not in Linux's long term interests.
I can happily say that my life has been minimally affected by DOS, its coming or its going. I started my career on VAX's and Macs in the 80's, moved to Unixen in the late 80's, and to LiGNUx in the 90's. I pity the people who have been stunted technically by using DOS.

The article said that there is water in Uranus. Wow.
I complain just as bitterly that M$ Windoze makes no attempt to accomodate Emacs keystrokes. I can't get by without them.
Racial jokes will usually not get you moderated up on /.
I would use AIX for HR/Accounting. Lignux is not ready for primetime

The Sojourner Rover had not emissions. It was solar powered.

Rogue Wave. This was a good solution...10 years ago. Are they still in business?

I wish you would stop publishing links to sites that require login.

If he was smart he would go to work for Red Hat. Then Alan Cox would have to accept all of his changes.
Or he could go to work for the FSF and whip the hurd project into shape.
I think users who are considering purchasing Windows XP should load GNU/Linux instead. Its a lot faster!
Bush is a fine and decent human being, all the better for being a Republican. It is congress that is bought and paid for my corporations.

It would be nice interesting to verify whether the MSN home page actually passes the XHTML 4.0 validation at W3C. Somehow I don't think it would.
