on having good stable API's of core libraries that are backwards compatible up to an extent, rather than continuously fighting dependency hell when it comes to updating packages ?
This proposal seems basically like "we statically link every binary", and we all know that is not wanted because of disk usage and more importantly: memory usage. Especially in constrained embedded systems statically that could be a concern if you start having a lot of running applications.

One assumes it's a more widely spoken language unless they have reason to believe otherwise.

Makes perfect sense.

I'm just kidding :-) It's just some stupid stuff I wrote using the deepest slang I could come up with. How could you tell it was Portuguese?

English translation could be something like this:

Far out, these geezers can dig some pretty cool stuff, dude.

I wasn't digging people speak cave men stuff. I'm freaking out with all this stuff. I'm really losing my marbles with all this science stuff. Really cool.

Science dudes, go on giving it all you can, we're with you.

Fónix, estes cotas topam cenas altamente, meu.

Não tava a mancar que o people dizia cenas do tempo das cavernas. Tou-me a passar bué com este endrominanço todo. Tou memo a flipar da marmita com esta cena da ciência. Bué da fixe.

Bacanos da ciência, continuem-lhe a dar bué, o people tá na vossa cena.

You may mean that Feinstein isn't a congresswoman.

The names are confusing.
Congress has 2 houses, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The people from the Senate are called senators.
The people from the House are called either congressmen or reps.

The only title a senator has is "Senator Smith".
While reps. get two.

Even though a senator is a member of a part of Congress they are not called congressman.
Even though they represent people/states they are not called represntatives.

Just to confuse things even more the word congressman isn't really capitalized unless it has a name after it.
The same with representative and senator, unless of course you are naming 1 of the 2 halves of Congress.

Congress as a whole/branch though is capitalized.
I.e. Congress or congressman or Congresswoman Feinstein.

And everything is capitalized at the start of a sentance.

And of course you may mean something else entirely and this whole post can be ignored.

United States Begins Flying Stealth Bombers Over South Korea 567

skade88 writes "The New York Times is reporting that the United States has started flying B-2 stealth bomber runs over South Korea as a show of force to North Korea. The bombers flew 6,500 miles to bomb a South Korean island with mock explosives. Earlier this month the U.S. Military ran mock B-52 bombing runs over the same South Korean island. The U.S. military says it shows that it can execute precision bombing runs at will with little notice needed. The U.S. also reaffirmed their commitment to protecting its allies in the region. The North Koreans have been making threats to turn South Korea into a sea of fire. North Korea has also made threats claiming they will nuke the United States' mainland."
