Care to explain why C++ does not fulfill "Alan Kay's definition of OO"?
It has classes, but method dispatch is tied to the class hierarchy ... I doubt Alan Kay made any statement about that. ... so if you want to really adopt an OO style you need to use multiple inheritance and pure abstract base classes,
This is complete nonsense as it has no influence on method dispatch.

One good reason is that any outbreak of open war would very likely result in the immediate deaths of tens of thousands of South Koreans in Seoul. The South Korean capital is only 35 miles from the North Korean border, and the North Korean government is relying on a sort of mutually-assured-destruction strategy there to deter foreign attacks.

It is not ... there is no such option.
File extensions are always displayed. More precisely, unix, linux, mac os x, has no file extensions.
If a file happens to end in .c, .java, .pdf or whatever it is just a part of the filename.

Google forked their own version of SSL called Googlessl. My guess is chrome would use this.

The big question is Googles implementation based on openssl or libressl? The bug might still be there if former

Great idea!

I'll tell my Mom to type that in a terminal right away.

I would say 98%

I have never heard of one who doesn't. One client still uses punch cards. if it ain't broke don't fix it!

You can turn in your man card at the desk on the way out.

Wah. Allowing some stranger dictate to you what you must do or be, based on his own arbitrary conception of masculinity, is a pretty spineless way to live.

Actually, making tools and organizing labor is we're really good at. I personally have never killed anything larger than a bug in my life; I suspect a lot of other people haven't either. I've never had to, because there have always been other people who are willing to do those unpleasant tasks for me, in exchange for modest amounts of money.

Granted, I could learn those skills (and others) if I had to, but it would probably take me some days or weeks before I got good at it. It's not clear I would survive long enough to learn them.

So yes, humanity is the most deadly predator the planet has ever had. Any particular human being, OTOH, most likely is not -- we're more likely to be the most effective C++ programmer the planet has ever had, or the best Fedex deliveryman, or some other not-so-helpful-during-the-zombie-apocalypse skill.

How long would it take the 95% to eliminate (or convert, if you prefer) most of the 5%?

Just Compromise an adserver with A flash exploit and You Can 0wn Tens Of thousands within hours.

Whoever thought to run executables on random websites was a good idea? More proof adblock not user education is needed for security. Gone are the days of not clicking meant secure

Sorry, could you rephrase your questions? I didn't understand what you were asking, as I was unable to see your facial expression as you were typing them.

Can a Viking Longship still sink a submarine with lucky dice rolls?

The loss of charging a battery is less than 10%.
So you get at least 9 charges ... no idea why always when a battery is involved on /. the 'loss myth' is pulled.

Well, I learned in school the gamma radiation will reach the ground. But perhaps that 'knowledge' is outdated.

Anyway, thanx for the link. Will try to figure if its true, does not really sound like it is.

Why do you write nonsense like this?
Every single sentence is wrong, and you easily google for your claimes and figure yourself that you are wrong.
If you read newspapers where the 'warming graph' flattended, perhaps you should switch to newspapers that don't lie to you and that are more reliable?
