It really surprises me when people look for "small" programming projects. Boot a Unix, leave X, sit still for 20 minutes. There. Get the sources to your Unix and just go read the code for your everyday utils. This is best done with a BSD, t

Speculation is fine, as long as you understand my suspicion of it. Cringely says Japan lost 20% of its electricity supply. I say I wont believe that figure until I hear it from the Japanese nuclear authorities themselves.

He shows technical understanding of the issue, but the alarmist tone of the article places it in the "pessimistic, under-informed opinion about the impact of a natural disaster" category. Nevertheless, I'm waiting for the official verdict.

GNU is not a technology, it's a movement. And to get all Marxist up on this joint, the building blocks for a new movement is created long before the leader is conscious of the need for one; the status-quo automatically provides an anti- c

Please, look it up. From wikipedia: "A system is said to be real-time if the total correctness of an operation depends not only upon its logical correctness, but also upon the time in which it is performed."

I don't speak for the author, but I had the feeling he would retract those remarks today, based on our exchanges here on HN. In other news, STFU and hack. Enough with Lisp politics posts. It's just a language.
