Great links, though I admit when I saw the OP I was expecting content like that and was pleasantly surprised that they really were "Unix commands I wish I'd discovered years earlier", and not the standard array of unix tips+t

The main question I have is not how hard it would be to stack these as with an apartment building, but how hard would it be to connect a small network of these into a single-floor house with rooms for different purposes?

Heh I thought of fungi (and bacteria and fish and plankton) but post was already too long and complicated for the point I wanted to make.

I wouldn't say that's an accurate generalization for all plants. But to the extent it's true, my theory is because most plants are by nature immobile. Sunlight is everywhere so moving much would be a waste of energy. So pla

I agree with the sentiment of this post but I believe the parent is specifically referring to "bloat" that comes from XML being "perhaps too simple". For example: <e1> first <e2> second </e2

This is all true, but it still doesn't mean the problem shouldn't be addressed. And yes, the outrage is going to die down somewhat, the question then becomes how much is the media going to sell out their principles? Most people h

I'd say "conflict" is better term than contradiction or paradox, since we're talking interests and desires rather than logical propositions.

So, basically your position is "If you don't like it, get out". I'm not sure this view is productive in any kind of discussion. Yes. The discussion shouldn't even be taking place. It is a waste of time. That&#

This is an excellent explanation. I'm not sure what you mean by paleontology being mixed up with evolutionary biology, though.

Backwards or forwards, my interpretation is less an oversimplification than the parent. It may be true that the Russian government does not give these rights to it's citizens, or that these citizens yield these rights to the Russian g

Nearly all of the cases where I've found myself annoyed at someone closing a question are the "off-topic" variety. Most commonly, they are questions asked, answered, upvoted, and google-indexed on StackOverflow and then clos
