Why should I? I talked about stuff long ago, I'm not interested in gcc :)
I use LLVM/clang on my Mac and professional C++'compilers for embedded (but honestly, because the customers demand it)

That was not my 'viewpoint' but a reiteration of stuff I observed the recent years.

However it is nice if modern gcc is back on track for standard compliance and state of the art code generation.

That's wouldn't be "looking for people with liberal arts degrees", that's "looking for people with demonstrable technical experience" and finding that they just happen to have a liberal arts degree. The lit degree is almost completely irrelevant here.

In hind sight I'm not sure if you mixed it up or if I thought you mixed it up ss you capitalized most words.

Nevertheless the bigger part of your previous post is nonsense, and I'm tired to dispute you.

You must live in a nice isolated place if temperatures did not rise for you since 1998 ... care to share where that is. Perhaps I consider moving there ;D

You get some stuff wrong, btw. There is nothing funny about not being aware of record ice extends: if there is none.
The record ice extend just made recent news, debunking the 4 month old claim, that we had a record that long ago. There is a new /. story about it, btw.

As I mention before, record means: it is an all time high/low, not a mere: aboove/below average of recent years.

The topic is solved, we pretty well understand where the ice comes from, just read the +5 posts on the /. story from a day or two days ago.

Also interesting that you attribute nonsense to me: "there can't be AGW and an ice record at the same time!"
Yes there can, if you believe otherwise, explain why :)

Prior to 1950 CO2 emissions were too small to have any significant effect. In fact, there was a slight cooling trend from 1950 - 75.
I don't know why the IPCC writes such nonsense. Or in other words: define significant. More CO2 leads to a higher temperature, nothing to argue about. The word significant is wrong or missleading here. There was no cooling trend between 1950 and 1975 ... really cool it was 1945 to 1950, afterwards it warmed slightly, around 1970 we had a 'climate' as it used to be, perhaps that emphasizes your 'no significant impact'.
And yes, I'm so old to have witnessed that in person, so I don't need retarded links to proof it or links to contradict it.
The difference beween chrismas all time low and all time high in my lifetime is over 50 degrees centigrade (-33 to +23, three years ago ... so much to the cooling you proclaim we experience since 1998 ... there is none. Perhaps the summers have less heat records, therefor the winters have plenty, which go unnoticed)

Sorry, but what is in you ears the difference between 'oy' in joy an 'eu' in feud? For me as a layman there is none.
Your deduction of the word utopia is half right: It comes from 'ou' - nothing/none and 'tropia' - place, meaning 'no such place'. But 'ou' is not the same as 'eu', obviously. Hint: there are classic greek 'utopia' novels which make pretty clear what the origion of the word is :)

How attic greek actually was pronounced, no one knows. But best bet is: similar to modern greek.

An utopia is not nevessaryly good and most definitely does not start with an 'Eu'.

But perhaps not yor fault that americans don't know/care how to pronounce the 'eu' correctly, hint: 'joy' - 'eu' is pronounced correctly like the 'oy' in the enlish word 'joy'.
And no, Zeus, is not pronounced Zoooooos!

You seem not to understand your parent: for most cases you mention: is no cure!
Only adapting/changing your lifestyle and time cures it.

They stopped using gcc for various reasons, the project was stagnant, ridden by core developers that could not agree on a road map, it forked a few times I believe and it was always not only buggy but years behind modern C++ standards. Not to mention gcc is slow and the code it produces was not really fast or small in the recent years.
No idea how it is faring right now.

You can write iOS and Android code in any language, as long as you port the runtime and package it with your application. On iOS HTML5 and JavaScript e.g is popular, but so is Qt and C++.

If you need a typecast in an object oriented languga, the chance is 99.9x% that you did something wrong.
A guy does not like a new language and complains about their type casts ... wow I'm speachless.

I'm sure GitHub has a search function ;D

"I think next winter will be:" when we sit around muttering "Write faster, George" and wonder if book 6 will actually get published in '15.

Of course if he'd set the series in eastern NC, where we're down to summer, winter, and one other season, book 7 would be entitled "A Dream of Pollen".

...that most of the right wing had secret hard-ons for Putin.

Speaking of whom...remember when Bush the younger talked about looking into Putin's eyes and seeing his soul?

Imagine my surprise to find myself in agreement with, of all people, Pat Buchanan, who said "Know what I see when I look into Putin's eyes? KGB!"

>> the fancy ones are $8,000 instead of $80 is because IP laws protect monopolies

Wrong. The fancy ones are $8000 because they take a lot of engineering work to develop and the market is very small. If you want to recoup your investment you have to sell it for a high price.

The rest of your comment is just fancyful nonsense.

Actually yes I have but, perhaps I phrased it poorly, many types media are guaranteed for up to 7 years, but none that I've ever dealt with will guarantee the data stored for more than 12 months without a rewrite.

FTA you referenced...
Disks used in the test are REQUIRED to less than 12 month old and obtained directly from the manufacturer or thru known distribution channels.

The tests spanned less than 30 days, far short of the 12 months I spoke of and much less than the 7 YEARS federal requirements for bank data storage require. Not to mention the very small, relatively speaking size of the disk compared to the VAST amount of data required to be stored.

You could always try the RICO Act.

Net neutrality is what ought to prevent racketeering in the digital age. In the old days the Mafia turned up on your doorstep and said "nice warehouse you have here, it would be a shame if it 'burned down', give us some money and we can make sure that doesn't happen." Without net neutrality, Comcast can turn up on your doorstep and say "Nice website you've got here, it would be a shame if it 'slowed down', give us some money and we can make sure that doesn't happen."
