Anyone knows exactly what typo?
I can't find the fumbled command line anywhere in the internet.

When I read King's "The Stand" I pictured people crucified in the electric posts along the highway. I imagine birds pecking at their heads as the sunset sets in. I heard in my head the whirring sound of a motor bike puttering along the highway. It felt normal, and yet foreign. I reminisced of Planet of the Apes forbidden zone with the furry warning effigies. The bongos, the drums, the ocean waves deafening sound as bright eyes falls on his knees. It felt like an eternity. Then I turned the page.

People have multiple cars to multiple decals to get around it: http://www.hoy-no-circula.com....
Is time to go electric and impose emission taxes to factories with strict zoning regulations.

They work. Not only prevent bad posture, people will listen to your rantings while bouncing rhythmically at the tempo of the mood.

I think he meant:

if ( is_safe() )
      proceed_new_heading()
else
      cancel_new_heading()

vs.

while ( true )
  evaluate_heading_inputs_and_update_heading_and_hope_for_the_best()

On the first snippet the programmer believes that safety can be pursued with an if else clause which is not the case in the real world.
The real world is not if else. The real world is fuzzy logic. The real world is more akin to the Monte Carlo Method.
A collection of approximations.

Some environments all they require is a console editor. Others take advantage of very very large tool stack (press F12 for live demo). 10 years from now vi will be alive and well and we are going to use it to program the programs that will police the programs that police the police programs.

OMG tried to tackle the language interoperability with CORBA ( Common Object Request Broker Arch ).
They created another language: IDL
wait.

So far, kind of useless.
But is only $35.00 Dlls but who would bother to return it?

I wonder is they are going the wrong way about it. The dialog's between the user's and Siri are
truncated and one-sided.
What Siri needs to do is to collect conversations for one or two years of millions of users and learn
to carry it's own conversations before is ready to help anyone.
Perhap's Siri needs some help from the people in the NSA.

Well Duh!
Parse for
anInstance.joe_method2();
instance2.joe_method();

and replace w/
anInstance.joe_method2();
instance2.joe_method();

hell, you can collect the line numbers of every location where joe_method2() is defined
and joe_method() and then swap the occurrances and create a report and on post it on web
using Python or Ruby or Bash or Perl and hell, reverse it on the fly if need it.
Sometimes IDE gives you the illusion of knowledge. Sometimes you cannot right-click your way out it a problem.
 

grep -rl "Class Joe" * | xargs sed -e /s/void joe_method/void joe_method2/g {}

there, finds the Class, replaces method name. Sure is not bulletproof and esay to refine can be automated and shipped to China.
IDE's are to programming what RAP is to music. Yes I love RAP but you know-what-I-mean, jelly-bean.

Ray Bradbury Martian Chronicles is an excellent book. I recommend it wholehearthedly.

Instead of mega projects we need a hybrid domestic appliance refrigeration unit.

The pattern reveals media and social companies as the low hanging fruit. As long as they don't do a big hit on the 3 big ones: Apple, Google, Amazon then there is not much cause for alarm.

Every Linux box/laptop I have ever installed/used consumes more energy that their Windows counterpart. My Nokia phone battery lasted up to 6 days. My android phone, 6 hours.
