Okay, so let's have a roll call of those of us using Perl 6 in production.

Hands?

Anybody?

And this is a secret how?
I developed grey hair in my early twenties.
Depending on whether I've dyed it back to its original color, the experience of age bias is universal, whether tech firm, fellow parents, or getting carded for liquor.

Don't be evil, indeed.

You might think that the Fukushima disaster "caused by far the largest discharge of radioactivity into the ocean ever seen," but not if you weren't already aware of the over five decades' worth of ocean dumping of atomic waste.

Honestly.

Probably because deep water source cooling needs to be 217 feet deep to be effective or be a very large lake, or both.

You're right, it wasn't Girder and Panel. It was Riviton by Parker Brothers.

If your #1 product kills children, you fail.
One of my favorite toys growing up was Girder & Panel. It was suddenly removed from the house after about a year because it was recalled. The reason? Kids were eating the rubber rivets and killing themselves.

The government is not "screw[ing] over the little guy" as you so eloquently put it. The non-road diesel fuel is dyed specifically because that fuel's tariff does not carry road tax. Road tax pays for the roads. This is what the situation is really about. So many violators were using non-road fuel that they had to take steps.

All licensed truck drivers implicitly understand that you do not put non-road/farm fuel into a road vehicle if you intend to keep that vehicle in revenue service. It's intuitively obvious to everyone, but it's too bad your drivers were either ignorant of the law or chose not to follow it.

Even Sirius Satellite Radio decommissioned their midtown satellite uplink facility the moment they acquired the Vernon, NJ uplink facility in the northern exurbs.

The community of Great Falls, VA, experienced an odd situation during Hurricanes Irene, Isabel, and the 2012 Derecho. The local natural gas utility was unable to provide the bottle pressure required to maintain service in these areas due to the widespread installation of residential generators running on natural gas fuel.

I don't live in Great Falls but I have a propane-powered generator only because of the lack of natural gas service. One thing that's nice about propane is that it is so stable that its storage life is virtually unlimited.

That old joke about asking for a dead person's apartment was about the absurd situation called rent control. It wasn't about real estate being at a premium.

While shopping around for data center resources I was always amused by the data centers being offered on the island of Manhattan. Given the speed of light and the vast abundance of local meet-me rooms and extreme bandwidth on and off the island itself, coupled with the massive off-site capabilities established shortly after 9/11, why would I ever want to tolerate the risk and excessively high cost of a data center in Manhattan?

Especially after 9/11, the idea just seemed silly. But then I listen to DI.FM and they're one of those services that has been severely affected by Sandy for having a data center in Manhattan.

I hope it will be hardware accelerated. I have also wondered if Android's Dalvik VM took advantage of built-in hardware acceleration in ARM processors. It seems to be a waste if it's not used.

Wow, my Kindle Fire HD and Nexus 7 have higher resolution screens than that lousy disappointment Apple announced today.

This screen is marginally better than even the Nook Color.

I haven't had a need to use more than the 256 megabytes it comes with but I will probably order another upgraded version anyway.
