> Unless, IQ increase dramatically.

100 IQ is defined as the average in the population under study, therefore increase / decrease is impossible.

No, I'm not implying that at all. I don't doubt they are good products.

The Big Bang didn't happen.

Climate change is natural.

The top rate of income tax should be 90%.

Root is a design fault.

When everyone is a superman, who will clean the toilets?

Surely can't last long. Simply repeatedly accuse public officials of infringement while working at govt. offices.

Or using the dumping of stuff they don't care about to gain positive press from people who will never use them.

Most of the 16 results are linkbacks to this announcement

At their core, computers are boolean logic, not arithmetic. Ironically, math is one of the things they are bad at, they are just quick.

The Plan9 debugger, ACID is awesome, even in Unix.

You can debug a kernel on a remote machine with a different architecture.

Shame that we've got to go back to the dark ages of GDB for Go.

C coders manage easily enough.

So 1993

The first program to be converted to UTF was the C Compiler. There are two levels of conversion. On the syntactic level, input to the C compiler is UTF; on the semantic level, the C language needs to define how compiled programs manipulate the UTF set.

Plan9, what Unix did next.

I got strip searched on the French -> Swiss border one time. It's more fun than one imagines. I'd prefer it to a crotch fondling pat-down. I think I shall demand to strip naked next time I fly to the US.

Declaring variables isn't hard. However, in Postgresql one can use many languages to write stored procs. I prefer plpgsl but TCL, Python and Perl are also available in the stock distribution.

I'm with you bhiggins

Or just let the kernel tell you via inotify http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify

Ah, the larval stage, how cute.

When I want to monitor a directory, I let the kernel tell me via inotify.

In the US, 14 people a day die in the workplace.

The VNC implementation on OSX is particularly poor. It crashes and I have to manually restart it.

On Linux the VNC is an X client so one can have multiple instances running each exposing with their own graphical shell.

Does Windows RDP do that ? (I don't know).

TightVNC works the best with low speed networks, it uses JPEG encoding too.

BTW. is is also against the Windows EULA to use VNC server on it !

No, I'm highlighting that saying "a lot of people in Europe" is hearsay.

Let me re-iterate, he's speaking for 731 million people in 50 territories. So what constitiutes "a lot", plucked from bad_user's thin air.

Lets have a look at some actual figures

"Android's share of the UK mobile contract market has grown from 3% in Q1 2010 to reach 13.2% in Q2 2010, GfK Retail and Technology's latest figures have revealed."

Holding back ?

which pronoun should one use ?

?? You talk like the 731 million people in Europe are homogenous.

In my social group there are more Android phones than iPhones. Perhaps you are talking bollocks.

Plan9 - no modern web browser or media player.

OSX comes with remote desktop, it's in System preferences, sharing .., remote desktop (I think). I don't have osx available to get the exact words.

It's just VNC. It also has an SSH server in the same section so you can tunnel through securely.

we could call it nori or agar

The last one was the most surprising, burglar smash .....

Even with those losses I'm still up from never buying home insurance :)

I, for one, welcome our new Arch Overlord.

I kind of agree with him. But I bet he wrapped his "select count(*) from ..." in some sort of function like get_row_count(table). Add a few more and before you know it, you're half way to a new framework that concatentates HTML fragments built from SQL queries.

concur, hiding the http is annoying to me

I've been late for two meetings in my life.

pppppp

Here's a crazy idea

instead of eating fish, eat soy-and-corn mixture
