  1. @zitterbewegung But many studios choose (!!!) not to use region coding with BD. I don't know what the BBC decided for domestic distribution.
  2. @zitterbewegung Do you have a link? A bit of googling left me uncertain.
  3. I meant UK blu-rays, not BBC America ones.
  4. Does anyone have any experience w/playing BBC blu-rays on a US PS3. Region locking is optional so did BBC take the option?
  5. @ehud It is at low energies :-)
  6. @ehud I believe energy and matter are unified, but still make the distinction in ordinary life. Same goes for fact/value.
  7. There's one bit of philosophy that all kids should be taught. The fact/value distinction. Drives me crazy when people derive ought from is.
  8. @sjoerd_visscher Break with test. I have a vague memory of a language with an automatic test for last time round+break built in.
  9. Do any programming languages have built in D.S. al Coda? Ie. last time round loop, leave out last bit of code. http://tinyurl.com/ylfc2al
  10. @tsuehpsyde In <=140 characters: yes. But really I need 1000 characters :-)
  11. @michiexile Dude!
  12. Running GHC platform on my Dell Hackintosh.
  13. @tsuehpsyde Even in C++ (my day job) there's some truth to that.
  14. @tsuehpsyde Extreme example: in Haskell, if you've defined a recursive type, it's almost hard to compile code to incorrectly traverse it.
  15. @ShinNoNoir Didn't put them online as they don't make sense on their own. I'll put them up soon but busy for next couple of hours...
  16. Yikes! I made the mistake of looking at the next president's twitter feed. My eyes, my eyes! @SarahPalinUSA
  17. @xinitrc Actually, mine was even older: a ZX80. I was jealous of the people of all the people who could do smooth animation in SLOW mode!
  18. My first computer could hold 7 tweets (at least ASCII ones) and still have 44 bytes to spare.
  19. @tsuehpsyde I like to design types/classes first and then use those to constrain my code. Not a good style for Python.
  20. @rzab @alexott @_sjs @tehgeekmeister Thanks for the reminder about ctrl-[ It works.
