I just did your deparse trick on my worst perl script, and it made it *worse*! I must be doing something right.

Wasn't Unisys in the eighties still Sperry and Univac?
It's not about intent at all - a MAC address is simply meaningless! A car's serial number is something that is officially alotted, and has all sorts of codified repercussions. A MAC address is simply a number. Prosecutors arguing that changing your MAC address is akin to filing off a car's serial number, are like those that argued that etoy.com had a
And "Parasites represent at least half of all modern animal species". Unless there's some Escher-like parasite-chain at work here, I don't think that this can be remotely true.
77% of the USA is white male? That seems a bit unlikely.
The thing is, *education* should *not* be heterogenous.
The problem with that is that, after a year, he'll not be angry anymore. And what's the use of that?
Yes they do. Their sattelite is essentially a faceted mirror. When using it, you fall into one of the facets. In order for them to know which facet you're going to use next, they keep track of where you are, and your movement.
Well, the problem is *also* the RNG. The bigger problem is finding a RNG like this, that can be easily embedded in electronics that you lock away. A camera won't do that.

Are you purposely, or ignorantly, confusing RSA, the company, with RSA, the assymetric cipher suite based on primes?
extremetech is the kind of website that requires you to allow such an enormous crapload of all-interconnected javascript, that re-iterates every time you 'temporarily allow all this page', that I can't watch it.
Can you read? The person you replied to was not fanboying about C++ at all!? He was calling it a turd!
But you have to agree that 'functional programming is the next big thing' has been said for so long now - it's the flying car of computer science. When people say 'any day now' for so long, some scepsis *is* in order.
Agreed on main points. A few remarks:
- In C's pthreads library, you *can* tell the 'system' 'I'm leaving this object to wait' of sorts (pthread_condition_wait requires you to pass a mutex).
- Overall, there are many, *many* programs out there that, justifiably, do not use threads at all. To require these programs to incur the overhead associated with threading even though they don't use it, seems a bit much.
