Basically, you want something to suit you and a small number of other people, but you won't pay for the cost of having something that "tailor made". You will only pay for the high-volume, lower-cost, more general product. So... that's all you get.

Essentially, one of the aims of OpenSwitch is to build a cohesive API around a wide set of Linux networking tools and daemons, and build a broad community to make it happen.

Edit: Remove IIRC - justed tested Google Docs again and that's the behaviour.

My Poppler is a bit out of date, though it's not clear to me whether more recent versions of Poppler support highlighted annotations fully:

Here's an Afghan with a Stinger missile (and there are lots of similar photos), not sold on the open market then, could realistically only have been acquired in bulk with US government assistance:

I agree with you though that using log^2(x) for [log(x)]^2 is horridly ambiguous notation that should be avoided! (Which reminds me, I should go and check my thesis for this ;) ).

They're millimetre wave machines, I think, so they likely are safe (certainly not ionising), but there are some theorised mechanisms by which they could impart greater energy on cellular molecules than is otherwise believed to be the case.

What really annoys me is that if these were medical devices, they would require many years of design approval and safety trials, so that their safety wouldn't be assumed but assured (to a high probability) before they could be deployed. Their maintenance regimes would be heavily regulated. However, when it's for security (or rather for lining the pockets of well-connected vendors and contractors), then none of this needs to be done.

I would happily use the legal services, if not for this DRM. Those services sometimes are even free (e.g. BBC iPlayer). I would happily pay for a subscription service (I pay subscriptions to a number of different of online sites, mostly journalism or data-organistion - I've no problem with that).

The industry standardising proprietary DRM in W3 will just ensure that I continue to support the distributed, end-user provided services which are DRM-free.

Also, the language may, if it provides some sugar to allow the anonymous function to appear to return to the caller, e.g. through async/yield/co-routine type semantics, also transparently copy back the variables to the callers' locations.

As per another commentator, 'lambdas', 'closures' and 'anonymous functions' are used equivalently by different people and/or fields.

As a C programmer primarily, I was long confused why higher-level programmers went on about "closures". They're nothing special, we do this kind of stuff in C all the time. We have to do it by hand ourselves, the language doesn't give us shortcuts. It's not really mysterious and we don't have fancy names for it. Sometimes I wonder if the reason some higher-level programmers treat these things so reverentially is, perhaps, because there is an element of mysticism to it, borne of lack of understanding of what is happening "under the hood"?
