Most probable scenario: cross license deal.

well it is somewhat picky when choosing its friends.

Franz Kafka was not from germany, and he was not an existentialist either.

So YOU are responsible for this mess? Why not make up something beautiful, stupid?

I am looking at you, EMACS!

My point was that these tools did not support anything else than decimal. I started coding in assembler with a assembler/dissassemler tool written in BASIC. My sister's boyfriend had entered the listing from a book. It did not even use files, it was reading and writing directly from and to memory.

It also means you were very likely using a freeware assembler that used decimal labels. Those were the days...

...when he tried to find a closed formula for sum(1/n^2). It is said that his first attempt at the problem was to compute some digits and see if he could recognize the emerging pattern. However, this approach was not successful so he had to find another way. Today, you can simply enter 1.6449340668 into Wolfram Alpha, and find pi^2/6 as a suggestion. Cool.

Maybe so, but stuff like boost multi-index containers is really great.

Yawn. The first time I read this hex joke was about FORTRAN8x.

I meant sentences like

This is just the kind of unsubstantiated stuff the european far-right parties keep repeating.

Seems like your personal experiences do not fit your generalizations. Think about it. Before I forget, there are lots of local people who do not understand or care for democracy, human rights, etc. (In my country, a lot of these guys are also quite anti-american, probably because they believe that America is ruled by the "jews".) Unfortunately, your arguments/anectdotes sound a lot like theirs.

I live in one of those countries, so I can read national news. Even better, I can form my opinion from first hand experience. You may read this stuff in the tabloid press, but that does not make it true. How do you know that "much of the immigration moving in to Europe has no intention of ever integrating"? And let me add something about the riots in Paris: these are not caused by cultural differences, but by largescale unemployment. Think South Central Los Angeles.

Well this is nothing special. E.g. Greece has a similar law.

Who modded this paranoid rant insightful? Any idea what "invasion" means?
