American Dog, we make torture you!
Where can I subscribe/comment so that Sony sends me a nastygram and forces my local law enforcement to waste money and play personal toyboy to their "law and order" department?

"We expect to see educational institutions switch to other languages for primary education, ones with stronger client-side representation such as JavaScript and HTML 5"
- Implying that you can teach people in JavaScript as opposed to confusing them
- Implying that HTML5 is a language
- Implying that "client-side representation" is somehow important in teaching
FIRE!!
Keynesians will cream their pants, wise widows will transform their dollar account into cold, hard and shiny metal bought illegally and leftists will bemoan the "austerity" measure hitting the "worker class", then demand a tax hike and a wage increase because it's hard to live under boot of capitalists.
There do not seem to be "actual infinities" cropping up in real life, so the idea to smell the brimstone when your equation breaks down is a good one. E.g. in General Relativity, you have infinities at Black Hole centers. But this is most probably unphysical - in real life "in the small, and at extreme curvature", spacetime may undergo state transitions so that the equations of GR are no longer applicable at all and you have to switch to something else. Take a look at Chemistry where some equations are applicable "generally", but once things heat up and get too energetic, you better invent new math to describe what happens.
Wilzek on SUSY is here:

Very nice.
"Dr Bertolucci has previously briefed the Reg on the intriguing theory of supersymmetry, which suggests that space-time actually has up to ten dimensions rather than the humdrum four we can normally perceive."
El Reg should then pay attention to what was being said in that probably well-wined lecture.
Supersymmetry has nothing to do with "extra dimensions", hidden or not. You need group theory mainly and the iron will to eliminate infinities in your equations.
1) Change management: an administrative function trying to sound like an executive one.
What kind of meaningful interpretation can we assign to this phrase? Doesn't everyone know that "change management" has a much to with boardroom antics as "bug management"?
2) This is what was behind much of the Web 2.0 blather, too.
I thought it was joss sticks, and lots of free money sloshing around due to incredibly retarded credit policy by the Clinton / Greenspan horsemen of the econocalypse.
3) Large companies (such as newspapers, for example) deferred to their technicians to produce the innovation and strategy - only to find they had over-promoted a cadre of bureaucrats.
Doesn't make sense from any angle. Does this mean that "innovation and strategy" is coming from the executive level? That technicians are actually bureaucrats which may get over-promoted because they are innovative? Questions, questions....
4) It's just a theory.
Your attitude needs correction. The headmaster shall see you now.
Her Imperial Cluelessness hasn't been her of yet. Let the Imperial Vice President speak:
http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Backchannels/2011/0127/Joe-Biden-says-Egypt-s-Mubarak-no-dictator-he-shouldn-t-step-down
Asked if he would characterize Mubarak as a dictator Biden responded: “Mubarak has been an ally of ours in a number of things. And he’s been very responsible on, relative to geopolitical interest in the region, the Middle East peace efforts; the actions Egypt has taken relative to normalizing relationship with – with Israel. … I would not refer to him as a dictator.”
(...) Mr. Biden's comments are unlikely to be well-received by regime opponents, as they fit a narrative of steadfast US support for a government they want to bring down. About eight protesters and one policeman have died this week as Egypt has sought to bring down the heavy hand of the state against opponents. Since the US provides about $1.3 billion in military aid to Egypt a year, the repressive apparatus of the state is seen by many in Egypt as hand in glove with the US.
They are still propelling the propaganda on Iran and Af/Pak (generally using officially leaked leaks from unnamed government officials) after grave facilitation of the Iraq debacle.
At least they got rid of Judith Miller.
What a bunch of embedded jerks.
....these are the direct descendants of the people who floated the idea of offing Castro with a remote-control shark.
...and they passed through at least ten years of aggravated cronyfication and empire-building.
It's enough to make Goering blanch with envy. But will it generate good code?
Never works for me either.
I always get the feeling that the Red Hat Way would be that big-ticket customers have elegantly dressed salesdroid(esse)s explain pricing & packaging to them while they sip espressos, then get heavy discounts at the end of the presentation after some light haggling.
That "elegant" system may not exist. As far as we know, anything able to navigate in the real world is a horrible kludge with bolt-ons left and right and something called the "limbic system" acting up regularly. Bletcherous!
I fear the real world is too complex and real-time for elegance in processing if all what you have got is polynomial time and constant space processing. Deal with it.
Hurrrr....... Hisssss.....
FADEOUT
