Racket is not Common Lisp which is what Roswell is built for, so why bring it up here? I've used Racket ever since it was called PLT Scheme but I've moved on to Common Lisp for the…

Amen. People don't quite understand how resilient and nasty the Islam language virus is. They're projecting their own religious points of view to these primitive savages.

Go fuck yourself.

I'm pretty sure you're an idiot.

I'm chinese and was mostly referring to my country. I know there are places like Japan and maybe as you said India where this does not apply. EDIT: It's also funny that you mention…

Don't assume things about me (this is another tendency that "people" have :-) From an early age, I found contemporary "people" uninteresting to extremely dull. I had to force mysel…

I'm chinese and was using primitive in an evolutionary sense. Wrong choice of word, I agree with you.

Amazing piece of logic here, "you came out of people -> you depend on people" and "you must like people" is implied. I hate that I have to depend on people. I find them unreliable …

Well odds are there exists something relevant, but it probably falls under "quantum mysticism" or other such quackery (e.g. transcendental meditation has actual scientists backing …

If it's peace you want, you really should look into Advaita Vedanta. Happiness/sadness is but another duality. There is no peace in duality. Once you understand (as you seem to) th…

Unfortunately, modern smalltalk environments (pharo, squeak) are terrible compared to modern Common Lisp implementations. The libraries are not there, monticello doesn't even suppo…

Unfortunately, and this goes for pretty much every UNIX out there with hardened (grsec) linux as possible exception, not just OSX, once someone has a local user on your machine, it…

What problem does this solve exactly? (As others have mentioned), it's closed source, so who is going to trust it with personal data? I'd much rather trust bittorrent sync than thi…
