Whenever installing software for Emacs, it's usually worth checking ELPA http://tromey.com/elpa/ (which comes installed on Emacs by default now,) to see if the package is there already. The ELPA provide both slime and clojure-mode and the

If it is a revolution, then it is by definition illegal, and by univocation, illegitimate. It may be the 'right' thing to do, but it is not 'legitimate.'

Please look up words in a dictionary before you correct people on their meaning, you will seem like less of a fool for doing so. Legitimate and legal are synonyms. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/legitimate

DDOS attempts that utillize illegal botnets are, well, illegal. As such, they are by definition not a legitimate form of protest.

If your stated purpose in developing your own blog was as a demonstration of your skills (or practice) and not solely the need for a blog, then writing your own makes perfect sense.

When I hear the term 'Totalitarian Democracy,' I think of the Terror durring the French revolution, where everyone spied on everyone (even members of the government) and anyone who strayed too far from the norm was executed as a traitor. Pr

In practice, there is nothing you can really do to prevent software running as root from installing whatever it wants. If you are going to install software using a company's installer, you'd better trust that company. Linux and BSD package

It's based on Peter Norvig's article of a similar name. I think that the '90 lines' was a reference to that former article rather than a literal description of this one.

Well, in market economics, 'perfect competition' is usually considered a good thing. It allows for maximum innovation and and the maximum alleviation of 'scarcity.' I think the problem is that so long as this new wave of entrepreneurship is

The article specifically mentions iron and B12. There is no natural way for a human to get B12 without some kind of animal product or a supplement (usually made from an animal product) and this woman developed a nutritional deficiency as a

Paul's reputation for submitting legislation that gets ignored by congress is much older than Reddit. For better or worse, Ron Paul has always represented an agenda that is unpopular in congress and he has always voted with that agenda in m

Indeed, the whole description was very unnerving. It appears the fellow was having a stroke and nobody was inclined to do anything about it. Scary.

Make that never. 'Cracker' sounds stupid and already has racist connotations. Personally, I'd like to call people who illegally subvert computers for financial gain or ego-tripping, 'criminals' and be done with it.

This looks to me like an HTML generation library, not an HTML templating tool. Common Lisp has a number of both, and I'm wondering what advantage this would have over cl-who, for example?

Well, not all of us run a Mac. Python and Ruby are both advertised as 'interpreted' languages and most programmers realize that what you do with them is write a script, which you then feed into a Python or Ruby interpreter. Many Lisp implem

Yes, this is the thing that probably most annoys people coming from languages like C about Lisp. Producing a standalone executable is non-obvious, and different from implementation to implementation. Commercial implementations make this sim

With all due respect, wouldn't that be a little like upholstering your couch with the Bayeux Tapestry? While the Enigma machine isn't exactly one of a kind, it is quite rare and has a great deal of historical significance.

... Congress cannot pass amendments. Congress can however propose them with a two thirds majority. Then, if three-quarters of the states ratify it, it can go into effect. That's a very high bar to pass especially in the absence of politic

If this were to be enacted in the United States, it would likely be as a Constitutional amendment, in which case, Congress could not simply vote to reverse the decision.

Holy Crap why oh why couldn't someone have posted this two weeks ago?! I just upgraded an internal application from Clojure 1.1.0 to Clojure 1.2.0 and had to upgrade my entire web-stack as a result! I was more than a little annoyed to find
