How do people feel about reusing names in a naming scheme? If you replace a computer should the new computer take the name of the old computer? If you do reuse names, do you wait until you have run out of names before reusing them? Should names follow computers or their roles?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Usually I think it's better to not reuse names.
Here's an example. If you retire the server 'aardvark', later replace it with a new server, and later still find a program which references 'aardvark' which is failing, you don't know if it's a problem with the program, or with the new aardvark. If you called the new server 'aaron' instead, you instantly know that it's the program which needs looking at. On the other hand, if the program says 'aaron', then you know that it's something on aaron.
Another example is in the migration process.
Plug in aaron, and install it, and get the services working. Then you take your nameservice alias for each service, and switch them from aardvark to aaron, and test that it works ok. At the end of the day, you can then leave both machines running until you're happy that it's ok to finally retire aardvark.
This is one of the reasons why using significant or cool names is a bad idea overall. If you had named your boxes foo01, foo02, foo03, ..., fooNNN you would have never developed any kind of attachment to your names or naming scheme(s).
The concept of "running out of names" seems completely foreign to me.
Would you provide a sample of how that might happen?
Personally I don't like reusing names. I have come across servers where they're named foo, then someone buys another one to cluster with it, and it becomes foo01 and foo02.
I also don't like reusing names for replacements, say bar dies and the new one gets called bar.
Workstation names: never re-use. We have a naming convention that includes the year and month a PC was acquired, so when a machine is replaced with a newer one, the new one will always have a different name. (Personally, I hate including the user's name as part of a PC name, since it means you have to rename it to move it to a different person, which happens fairly frequently for us.)
Server names: in a couple of cases, we have re-used these, but we try to avoid it. We've had couple of machines that were replaced with near-duplicates and we've kept those names. Otherwise, we have a very generic naming convention, so we don't really care whether a server is forv-sdc-01 or forv-sdc-17
One reason to not reuse names is to keep up to date with how applications and services need to be configured when a host name changes - or rather, verifying that this is not an issue (and fix it if it turns out to be one!).
For instance, any application dependent on a named host should probably be configured against a generic service CNAME and not a specific host name - but this might not be considered or taken into account until this kind of problem appear, and some services like SSL might not even allow this or require a manual routine to be in place for any future name change.
Staying ahead of and avoiding these problems by provoking and fixing and/or documenting them under controlled circumstances would be key to being proactive and designing a robust and modular environment ^^
In my old job, we named desktops generically and did not re-use names. The convention was *department_number*-type-xyz (where type was a few letter description of what it was: MO for main office, BUSOF for business office, CLASS for classrooms, etc). Servers and Linux machines got "cool" hostnames, which were generally retired when the machine was replaced.
Generally, I think it is best in a medium-to-large environment to associate names with the machines and retire them together. A CNAME in DNS can be used to point services to the right machine. That way, the machine that used to run www.example.com can be used to run syslog.example.com without having to be confused as to why the web server isn't running on www anymore.
For small installations, like home use, do whatever you want. My naming scheme at home started with places I've seen tornadoes, and when that well ran dry, I started using memorable cities from storm chasing trips. I don't re-use names, but that's a personal preference.
TL;DR: Tie names to specific machines and use generic cnames for services.
I agree with the other responses for changing the names. If you are having an issue with deciding what to rename the new machine(s) it sounds like more of an issue with imagination than a migration issue.
I think you should reuse the names if the machine is attached to a user.

At Thursday's meeting of the Carmi Rotary Club, every seat was taken with several members bringing guests. Lyndel Brennan brought her granddaughter Olivia, Sheri Logan's parents, Richard and Donna Roser attended, and Tom Logan brought Kevin Knapp from Martin and Bayley as his guest.
The large crowd listened as Rotarian Frances Matheny described her recent trip to New York, as part of a Red Cross disaster team. Frances said she worked at a shelter that housed Red Cross workers from all over the country. Her shelter, which was part of Westbury College in Brookville, NY, housed between 135 and 150 relief workers during her two-week stay there. Frances took care of signing the many rotating volunteers in and out of the shelter, as well as helping with the coffee in the morning and the clean up as the days went along.
She stated there are still many, many people in the area without power, and many of them are afraid to leave their homes because they are worried about the belongings that survived the storm being stolen. Others would not leave pets behind and are still in houses without power because of that concern.
The Red Cross had as many as 22 shelters operating during the crisis, and at one point had given out over two and half million meals as well as thousands of blankets and other emergency supplies.
Frances told the group that one of her day's off, she ventured to the site of the World Trade Center, only to discover that without electricity it was a daunting climb. She also stated that she believed if a person could drive in Carmi they could handle New York City.
In club business, President Tom Logan told the group that 150 packets of hot chocolate had been purchased by the club and had been sent to US troops in Afghanistan. President Tom also reminded the club that there would be no meeting next week due to the Christmas break.

MPI_Abort will need to tell ORTE which processes should be 'aborted by
signal' along with the calling process. So there needs to be a
mechanism for that was well. Not sure if I have a good solution to
this in mind just yet.
A thought though, in the state machine version, the process calling
MPI_Abort could post a message to the processing thread and return
from the callback. The callback would have a check at the bottom to
determine if MPI_Abort was triggered within the callback, and just
sleep. The processing thread would progress the RML message and once
finished call exit(). This implies that the application process has a
separate processing thread. But I think we might be able to post the
RML message in the callback, then wait for it to complete outside of
the callback before returning control to the user. :/ Interesting.

>>> I'm open to suggestion - perhaps it isn't actually all that critical for us to distinguish "aborted by call to abort" from "aborted by signal", and we can just have the app commit suicide via self-imposed SIGKILL? It is only the message output to the user at the end of the job that differs - and since MPI_Abort already provides a message indicating "we called abort", is it really necessary that we have orte aware of that distinction?

On a recent snow-free afternoon, a group of graduate students and their professor in the Department of Art and Art History gathered around two people standing in the courtyard of the Visual Arts Complex on campus. Long colorful strings stretched from one student to the other. The strings billowed and moved in the breeze as the students and professor pondered, discussed and questioned the thought process behind the artwork of Alia Pialtos, a graduate student in the ceramics program.
What kind of art was this? Performance art? A display? How did it relate to ceramics? The questions were addressed by viewers and answered by the artist as Pialtos and two other graduate students participating in the ceramics seminar had their work academically critiqued.
In earlier work, Pialtos created delicate abstract ceramic sculptures under tension. Although this recent piece is not ceramic, it still emphasizes the effects of tension and the invisible connections that can exist between individuals.
"The ceramics program maintains a deep respect for ceramic traditions," said Pialtos, "while simultaneously pursuing conversations that address broader concerns of contemporary art. It is exactly what I wanted out of a graduate program."
Critiquing a student's artwork is an integral part of the artistic process in the graduate ceramics program. The academic structure of the entire fine arts program fosters dialogue among peers in every area. The program is ranked eighth by U.S. News and World Report.
The ceramics program offers a graduate seminar open to students from other disciplines in the art and art history department, from printmaking and painting to photography and sculpture. The seminar provides a forum for readings, discussion and group critiques. Since seminars are critique-based and students are all artists, the feedback from students outside their immediate area of expertise can be helpful.
The rankings reflect high-profile faculty and graduate students who have become exceptional artists showing in prestigious galleries or who have gone on to become professors or chairs of their own departments, according to Kim Dickey, professor and ceramic artist.
"We don't feel it is necessary to limit what materials or forms our students wish to explore," said Dickey. "If their ideas beg to come in other materials or formats, we encourage that exploration. The work they are doing drives the discussion.
"We're engaged constantly," she continued, "in discussions about how performance, painting, film and music are being made and how they are influencing us and opening up possibilities in how we're engaging those other fields and practices as points of departure or concurrent companion interests."
Blanca Guerra, a graduate student in the ceramics program, considers a critical review of her work helpful in developing ideas. Her work being critiqued is made of ceramic, stoneware and terracotta, and evokes contours or abstractions of the human body.
"Critiques give me a better understanding of the viewer's impression in relation to my inner dialog," she said. "The graduate program here has provided me with the tools and language to talk about my work in multiple levels."
Students in the ceramics program are encouraged to follow an interdisciplinary path and to take courses outside the department as a complement to their studies. They also have the opportunity to work with a diverse selection of visiting artists.
Terry Campbell, a graduate student in painting, is participating in a ceramics seminar in order to work with Dickey, although he is not working in ceramics.
"You get a different dialogue and different views on your work," said Campbell. "I've been exposed to more ideas in the past six months of grad school than the six years I was making the same type of art year after year with little change. I now see a better way to move forward."

NEW MANCHESTER - The Golden Bears dominated the action on the court.
The Oak Glen volleyball team made quick work of Fairmont Senior and Hancock County-rival Weir en route to capturing the West Virginia Class AA Region 1, Section 1 Tournament title Thursday night at Oak Glen.
The Golden Bears outscored their opposition 150-60 on the night.

CHAMPS — The Oak Glen volleyball team poses with its West Virginia Class AA Section 1, Region 1 title trophy Thursday.
-- Aaron Petchal
Oak Glen defeated Fairmont Senior, 25-3, 25-11, 25-3, and then topped Weir, 25-18, 25-11, 25-14.
All told, Oak Glen spent less than an hour-and-a-half on the court en route to winning six-straight games and two-straight matches.
With the two wins, the Golden Bears are now 35-6 on the season. Oak Glen will now play in the Region 1 Tournament at 10 a.m. Saturday at East Fairmont High School. The Red Riders also qualified for the regional tournament.
"It was a good night," Oak Glen head coach Ethel Riser said. "I would have liked to have had it a little tougher against Weir, but I guess we didn't have to be."
The Golden Bears dispatched the Polar Bears in less than 40 minutes of time on the court.

We have about 30 internal users and want to make use of single sign-on with our internal AD and will have about 1000 extranet users using forms based authentication.
Can anyone advise or suggest the best way to go with this?

FRANKFORT, KY (AP) -- Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is still wrestling with the idea of seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell in next year's election.
Grimes told reporters Tuesday she is giving "due diligence" to the race. Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear met with Grimes Tuesday to try to gauge her interest in the race, as he has been doing with other potential Democratic challengers he declined to identify. Grimes said they "had a good discussion."
Beshear warned whoever takes on McConnell is going to face a tough task. The second-term governor said McConnell is a "no-holds-barred" campaigner who can raise far more campaign cash than his opponents.
Beshear ran against McConnell and lost in 1996. Some Democratic leaders have been urging Beshear to consider a rematch.
The link below takes you to Grimes' biography.

I am from Santiago, Chile, and here there has been recently this rumour that smashed flax seed loses its properties in around ~4 hours. Does any one knows something about this?
Basically, the rumors say that the flax seed loses its nutritional properties and it can even be damaging once it is smashed but, if you smash it yourself and eat it right away, its ok.

Why is any number (other than zero) to the power of zero equal to one? Please include in your answer an explanation of why $0^0$ should be undefined.
For non-zero bases and exponents, the relation $ x^a x^b = x^{a+b} $ holds. For this to make sense with an exponent of $ 0 $, $ x^0 $ needs to equal one. This gives you:
$ x^a \cdot 1 = x^a\cdot x^0 = x^{a+0} = x^a $
When the base is also zero, it's not possible to define a value for $0^0$ because there is no value that is consistent with all the necessary constraints. For example, $0^x = 0$ and $x^0 = 1$ for all positive $x$, and $0^0$ can't be consistent with both of these.
Another way to see that $0^0$ can't have a reasonable definition is to look at the graph of $f(x,y) = x^y$ which is discontinuous around $(0,0)$. No chosen value for $0^0$ will avoid this discontinuity.
This is a question of definition, the question is "why does it make sense to define $x^0=1$ except when $x=0$?" or "How is this definition better than other definitions?"
The answer is that $x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}$ is an excellent formula that makes a lot of sense (multiplying $a$ times and then multiplying $b$ times is the same as multiplying $a+b$ times) and which you can prove for $a$ and $b$ positive integers. So any sensible definition of $x^a$ for numbers $a$ which aren't positive integers should still satisfy this identity. In particular, $x^0 \cdot x^b = x^{0+b} = x^b$; now if $x$ is not zero then you can cancel $x^b$ from both sides and get that $x^0 = 1$. But if $x=0$ then $x^b$ is zero and so this argument doesn't tell you anything about what you should define $x^0$ to be.
A similar argument should convince you that when $x$ is not zero then $x^{-a}$ should be defined as $1/x^a$.
An argument using the related identity $(x^a)^b = x^{ab}$ should convince you that $x^{1/n}$ is taking the $n$th root.
If $a$ and $b$ are natural numbers, then $a^b$ is the number of ways you can make a sequence of length $b$ where each element in the sequence is chosen from a set of size $a$. You're allowed replacements. For example $2^3$ is the number of 3 digit sequences where each digit is zero or $1$: $000, 001, 010, \ldots, 111.$
There is precisely one way to make a zero length sequence: one. So you'd expect $0^0=1$.
$$0^x = 0, \quad x^0=1$$
both are true when $x>0$.
What happens when $x=0$? It is undefined because there is no way to chose one definition over the other.
Some people define $0^0 = 1$ in their books, like Knuth, because $0^x$ is less 'useful' than $x^0$.
Exponents are only "basically" defined under the natural numbers above zero. By this I mean, defined as "iterated multiplication" the same way multiplication is defined as iterated addition.
The property $a^0 = 1$ only arises when we look at generalizing multiplication to the integers. We do this by: \begin{align} a^4 / a^3 &= (a\cdot a\cdot a\cdot a)/(a\cdot a\cdot a) = a^1\\ a^4 / a^3 &= a^{4-3} = a^1 \end{align}
And using this, we can say:
$$a^2 / a^3 = a^{-1} = 1/a$$
and also: \begin{align} a^2 / a^2 &= 1\\ a^2 / a^2 &= a^{2-2} = a^0 = 1 \end{align}
So we say $a^0 = 1$.
However, notice that these proofs don't have any meaning when $a=0$, because the whole concept/idea involves fractions, and you cannot have zero be in the denominator.
When we say $2^0 = 1$, we really mean:
$$ 2^{1-1} = 2^1 / 2^1 = 2/2 = 1$$
But we cannot say the same for $0^0$: $$0^{1-1} = 0^1/0^1=0/0=\text{UNDEFINED}$$
If we use the idea of set exponentiation to define exponentiation of cardinals, we have the following natural idea:
$$A^B:=\{f:B\to A\}$$
We define the exponential of cardinals as follows: $|A|^{|B|}:=|A^B|$. It's easy to check that this agrees with our intuition for exponentiation of natural numbers when $B$ is nonempty.
There is only one set representing the cardinal $0$, namely the empty set. Then we may look at $0^0$ as follows:
$$0^0=|\emptyset|^{|\emptyset|}=|\emptyset^\emptyset| =|\{f:\emptyset\to\emptyset\}|=1$$
Because when you say 'to the power of zero' it just means that you are dividing that number by itself. Therefore zero to the power of zero is zero divided by zero which is undefined.
One of the definitions of the power $a^b$ is $e^{b \log a}$, where $$e^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}+\dots $$
The key point is to understand the meaning of multiplication. The $a \times n$ means that you add n a-items to zero rather than "together" because "together" leaves you with uncertainty when no items are taken. If we understand that 0 must be the answer when n=0, we understand what counting means: 0 is the "constant of integration" that lives in any empty set that we add your items into in order to count them. You start counting with 0. If you embed that into definition, a lot of confusion is resolved right away. So, instead of defining $$a \times n = \underbrace{a + a + \cdots + a}_n, $$ you define $$a \times n = \mathbf{0} \underbrace{+ a + a + \cdots + a}_n.$$ You note that 0 is also the additive identity. So, counting starts with additive identity.
Similarly, when you multiply n identical a-items together, what you actually do is you take the product of those items with 1, $a ^ n = \mathbf{1} \underbrace{\times a \times a \times \cdots \times a}_n.$
To repeat, the syntax that corresponds to the meaning of basic math operations must be: $$a \times n = \mathbf{0} \underbrace{+ a + a + \cdots + a}_n \;\;\;\text{and}\;\; a ^ n = \mathbf{1} \underbrace{\times a \times a \times \cdots \times a}_n$$ instead of $$a \times n = \underbrace{a + a + \cdots + a}_n\;\;\;\text{and}\;\;a ^ n = \underbrace{a \times a \times \cdots \times a}_n.$$
Now, if n = 0, everything but identities vanishes. You will have $$a\times n = 0 \;\;\;\text{and}\;\; a^0 = 1.$$ Note that "$\times nothing$" in "$1 (\times nothing)$" does not mean scale 1 with 0. It means that you take 1 alone and do not scale it with anything. When n=0, I do not "add" anything to my "constants of integration". Even if the items that I ignore to "count" are of size a=0 or whatever, I still have $$a\times n = 0 \;\;\;\text{and}\;\; a^0 = 1.$$ Making base zero does not change anything, if you know what is behind $a^n$ rather than blindly drill the rule $0^{anything} = 0.$ This is what my programmer's mindset tells me. Might be I am too bold by viewing the product as the computation
Yet, it was found intuitive. This is exactly what product (exponentiation) means. That is why I say that injecting the identity in front of the sums/products is a natural (i.e. true) thing to do and this must be reflected in the definition. I am happy that it meshes well with the combinatorial argument.
If you can explain how two definitions underpin each other or if you have any objection, please comment. I believe that all problems that arise in continuous analysis are because you do not have pure zeroes there. That is, formally, you may consider $\quad \lim_{t \to 0^+} \left(e^{-\frac{1}{t^2}}\right)^t$ as $ 0^0$. But, I believe that actually you have infinitesimals there, which are not zeroes exactly. Consider the total contribution as a product of a items, whereby every contributes 1/a. If you start reducing the item contribution, $1/a \to 0$, total contribution is unchanged. However, if you really manage to ignore the contributions completely then you will get $0 \times \infty = 0$. You just do not care about the sizes of contributions that you do not count.
Similarly is with $1 \times a \times a \cdots$. If you cut all contributions, you are left with 1, regardless of magnitudes of a. If you receive result that is different from 1 then you have failed to zero all the contributions.

The Academic Resource Center (ARC) is the place to go when you don't know where to go with academic navigation questions. It offers a variety of academic support resources, including cross-school advising and peer tutoring through the University Learning Center, as well as referrals to other academic resources from our SMART Bar (see below). Additional resources at the ARC include an Argo Tea Café, computers and ITS printer, and a variety of study spaces.
Academic advising and support for the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program and Higher Education Opportunity Program is also located in the Academic Resource Center.
To navigate the Academic Resource Center or to find your way to other academic resources around campus, stop by our S.M.A.R.T. Bar – a reception and information desk located by the main entrance. The S.M.A.R.T. Bar is staffed by a team of friendly and knowledgeable students (SMART Aides) who are full of information on Student Mentoring, Academic Resources, Tutoring. They can sign you up for a walk-in advising appointment with one of our cross-school advisors, direct you to an academic coach or a study skills workshop in the University Learning Center, or provide you with a tutoring schedule. As NYU students, SMART Aides fully understand the complexities of navigating the University from a student perspective.
NYU offers two special programs for residents of New York State.
Sponsored by the New York State Department of Education, the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP) at NYU is designed to assist students who are residents of New York State who are academically and educationally disadvantaged. In addition to financial assistance, students in the program receive supportive services including counseling and tutoring to help ensure their success. Students must meet academic and family income guidelines to be eligible, and must attend an six-week summer program prior to the start of their freshman year. No special application is required for HEOP consideration, and New York State residents are automatically reviewed for eligibility during our normal application review process.
CSTEP is a NYU program for New York State residents underrepresented in business, law, science, and health-related programs who do not qualify for the Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP). CSTEP students receive the same academic and counseling services that HEOP students receive, and participate in the same six-week summer program before their freshman year. No special application is required for CSTEP consideration, and New York State residents are automatically reviewed for eligibility during our normal application review process.

Galdeira was 7 of 15 from the floor for the eighth-seeded Cougars (11-19), who moved on to face No. 1 seed and fourth-ranked Stanford on Friday.
Janae Fulcher led the No. 9 seed Sun Devils (13-18) with 20 points, her third 20-point game of the season and second against Washington State. Promise Amukamara grabbed 14 rebounds but was just 1 of 12 shooting, part of a 29 percent team effort for ASU.
The Sun Devils led 18-13 at halftime, but the Cougars rallied in the second half, going ahead for good, 29-27, on Sage Romberg's jumper with 14:58 left and building on the lead from there.
Washington State coach June Daugherty missed the game her first absence in her 24-year coaching career with acute appendicitis. The school said Daugherty had surgery Thursday evening and was expected to be discharged Friday morning.
Daugherty's husband, assistant coach Mike Daugherty, filled in. He said his wife was "doing well" and was hopeful that she'd be released from the hospital in time to coach against Stanford on Friday.
"I hope so, because I want to retire 1-0," Daugherty said. "I'd like to go out undefeated."
After ASU dominated the first half, WSU returned the favor in the second after a halftime pep talk from the Cougars' interim coach.
"We told them at halftime, 'We're playing great defense. The toughest team is going to win this game. If you guys just stay with it, the ball will start going in,'" Daugherty said. "Pretty much all of that came true."
ASU coach Charli Turner Thorne was on the wrong end of the second-half turnaround and was disappointed afterward.
"We played a good 20 minutes, then we faded," she said. "It's disappointing, but just lessons learned. We're a very young team and looking forward to coming back next year with a roster at full strength."

I messed with some (okay, many) codes in terminal trying to work on another issue. (Copying and pasting from other posts here.)
Now Ubuntu Software Center is not working at all. It closes and tells me Ubuntu 12.04 has an internal error but can not determine what it is.
I used this link to uninstall and reinstall Ubuntu Software Center. It did not change anything.
What I want more than anything in the world right now is to completely wipe out my current 12.04 and reinstall it fresh. I have made back ups of my files. I have the 12.04 desktop iso on my flashdrive, I know that it is my #2 key on my computer to kick it into the boot device (I use a Dell Inspiron Mini which has no F12).
But it is not working.
I think someplace I read about needing to Create A Start Up Disk but I am having a hard time finding a explanation simple enough for a 3 year old to follow that will help me do this WITHOUT the SOFTWARE CENTER which will not even open up.
PLEASE HELP. I just want my computer back and am so incredibly frustrated.

Democrat candidate for governor Juliette Kayyem submitted more than 11,000 signatures to the Secretary of State's Elections Division Friday afternoon.
Kayyem told the News Service the signatures were collected in more than 230 municipalities. Kayyem said the completion of the signature-gathering phase of the campaign means a switch to focusing on the party's June convention and addressing the differences in the candidates' positions.
"I am fighting not one, but two well-known names in a race that has to be about the future of the state," Kayyem said.
According to Kayyem, her campaign has more than 13,000 signatures certified by towns and cities and 17,000 in total.

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
Another fantastic entry in the rare case of an action franchise that just keeps getting better and better. That's thanks to great direction of excellent action in awesome set pieces and action, but also thanks to the leading man.
People can say about Cruise's private life or religious choices all they want. The man keeps delivering great genre entertainment year after year, while doing as many stunts as he can all by himself. The insane opening sequence is testament to that.
Still, one of the best parts of this is how it is an ensemble piece with everyone doing their part. Female newbie Rebecca Ferguson is fantastic, blowing all Bond girls from the last 45 years out of the water. Pegg is likable and funny as always.
The pacing is great and especially the two major sequences in the middle of the film in the Vienna opera and all over Casablanca are absolutely breathtaking. The showdown can't even begin to top that and doesn't try, taking a different approach to a solution instead.

Fully aware of the silliness of someone shrinking down to insect size while remaining a threat to human beings, the last Marvel film of phase 2 decides to just have fun with the concept. Especially the showdown is making great use of the possibilities of people shrinking and growing back to size within seconds. While that makes for one of the smallest end fights in movie history when it comes to scale, it's also one of the funnest.
The film also neatly ties itself into the existing Marvel universe, again showing the benefit of such a well-established world, where ...
Inside Out
While the trailers didn't manage (or maybe didn't even try, because they left me entirely indifferent) to grasp the entire concept of the latest Pixar adventure, the movie needs mere seconds to sell the audience on its premise.
It all starts with a birth: Emotions (joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust) are working hard in their headquarters inside our heads. Dreams are made in a film studio nearby. Imagination is a wild amusement park ...

For the same reason you don't use a Swiss army knife to carve a chicken...
What you have in programming is a very large problem domain. This domain ranges extremely and in many directions.
This is why embedded flight controllers are written in C and websites are written in PHP, Java, Rails, .NET and a host of others.
For the embedded flight controller I have about 128k of memory to work with and on top of that if my code gets an unhandled exception the plane crashes, 200 people die and I get sued to tune of $1B, and have to send engineers to every airport in the world to fix aircraft that are grounded loosing my customers $10M / day. I have to work with a language that is very tight and has a small number of moving parts that could go wrong.
For my web application I have several GB of memory to work with, but network speed is limited (to a lesser degree everyday, but this is probably the web greatest limit). I will be looking at a language that gives me a ton of features and produces output that can be transmitted as fast as possible. I don't really care if my site goes down, I will maybe lose a few sales ($100) and have to patch the use case that bombed, no big deal.
Web sites haven't been written in C for over 15years (anybody do any cgi scripts?) and as far as I know flight controllers are just now beginning to look at C++, but even then in a very restricted way.
If you have no toolbox, or only have one of those little hammers with the screwdriver bits in the hollow handle, then I have great sympathy for you.
Seriously. If you go to an auto shop, does your mechanic have only one single do-it-all tool in his toolchest? He (or she) is a professional, with professional-grade tools specifically designed to perform various automobile repair tasks.
Similarly, professional software developers should possess a sufficient set of tools to perform his/her trade. If you open your toolbox and see only [the software equivalent of ] a Philips screwdriver, then you cannot consider yourself a professional.
You can turn a bolt with an open-end wrench, a box-end wrench, a ratchet wrench, or an adjustable wrench. You can even turn a bolt in a pinch with slip-joint pliers, clumsily, with minor to severe damage. But it is quite difficult to turn a bolt with a sledge hammer.
A different kind of answer to the others - I actually think there is potential for a language to become a "universal" one, allowing the features and paradigms of many other languages, though not perhaps a strictly designed language you might be thinking of.
To use brettmjohnson's analogy above, the idea that each programming language is the tool inside a box (or on a swiss army knife) is the assumption everyone is making, but is really a flawed assumption.
What if the programming language was the toolbox?
I mean, what if you can add and remove features from the language as you please, and have your own toolbox with the tools you need in it - even if the tools are for different purposes.
The concept exists partially already. For example, languages like Nemerle allow you to add syntax to the language, and as such, you might be able to take "the best feature from language X", and add it to Nemerle (or your own). This doesn't necessarily mean writing your own macros all the time either - each language (or paradigm) could be defined inside a macro in a standard library - such that a you could
The question then is - how do you get the features of different languages/paradigms to work with each other? While I can't answer that, frameworks like .Net and JVM offer some of the solution - the languages are at least partially compatible because of the way they're compiled. You can take any code written in C# for example, and use it from F# without complaints.
The 'problem' with the solution as it is today, is that using these languages together requires you to create them as separate projects, which cannot reference each other - you can only have a 1 way reference. The language barrier is that each project compiles all it's files separately to Common Intermediate Language before any other project can access it.
A stepping stone towards removing that barrier would be to allow code of different languages (eg, C# and F#) to compile inside the same project. In theory you could compile each file separately (or in groups - if they have partial types or circular references), and then compile files of a different language which can access those already compiled (CIL) objects. You would need to strictly define the order of compilation for this to work though - but order of compilation is already required in the case of F#.
Anyway, I'm not saying "there can definitely be a universal language". I'm suggesting that there's the potential for much better interoperability between languages that what currently exists. In reality, it's not likely to improve greatly very soon, just because of the huge amount of work it is to implement a language and the libraries, the tools etc. needed to use it.
The best features of some languages conflict with the best features of others.
For example: Type aware reflections is a really nice feature, but it would not be worth very much in a loosely typed language, but loose typing can be a real benefit at times as well.
Even within one language you cannot always use all the best features at the same time because they conflict with each other.
"Jack of all trades - master of none." springs to mind.
Some programs require speed, others large amounts of memory or fast access to the disk. Some languages are good at one, but bad at another - I don't think you'd get a language that was good at all.
So, while you can write virtually any program in any language, what you get isn't guaranteed to be the "best" program you could write to solve that problem.
There is. None tool is the best to everything, but some tools like many programming languages serve to all purposes, not best to all.
You can choose the best tool for the job but there are programming languages able to be used on all purposes and you can choose them. I don't recommend it but it's possible.
Because of something I call the "generalization/specialization paradox", which probably has another name and really isn't a paradox
Languages shape the way people think. This is true for natural languages. If a child knows only one language with the numbers "one, two, many", teaching that child math is... difficult. (Sorry, I don't have the link) In english we talk about different times as if they were places - hence the concept of time travel is possible to imagine. In some other languages, the idea of time travel would never occur to its speakers.
This is also true for programming languages.
Hence if we have a single programming language, everybody will think about all computational tasks exactly the same. Thus we won't be exploring alternatives, and the best way to do something will remain undiscovered.
The closest thing we have to a universal language is C. C maps very closely to the underlying hardware concepts (how things actually get done in hardware) and programs in every* language is convertible to C. (See how CFront used C compilers for assembler tasks) The problem with C is basically that the above-mentioned conversions wouldn't make sense from a C programmers perspective.
"Lambdas" were always possible in C. The syntax is off, including code spread around the whole project/file, hence it was not a preferred solution. With a no-capture/upvalue/etc version, define a function somewhere else, and pass a pointer to the function. (see qsort()) To use lambdas with captured values, the quantity and complexity of the code you have to write rises a lot - as far as I'm aware noone ever actually wrote the code to use this method of programming in C. As opposed to languages where lambdas are part of the language, and basically used everywhere.
The main difference between C and C++ is how you can ask C++ to take care of stuff for you; but then you can no longer see, from only a single line of code, how much you're really asking of it. The answer becomes: it depends (on all this other code).
Some programming languages are excellent for specific tasks, but where most current programs in use around the world would simply not make sense if programmed in that language. That is, if the language could be used to implement that program to begin with, which is not a given.
The impossibility on technical merits of having a Universal Language? That's total nonsense. You could have a universal language that covers all bases. The problem is mostly historical: different languages were invented to do different things and be used in different communities. Many of them stuck. Add to that preferences (vi! emacs! wait, I meant Java! C#, wait I meant Microsoft, Open Source, etc. etc. etc.) and general embedding of historical accidents... Look at the natural languages in a tiny land mass like some European countries to see just how crazy this topic can become. Some towns have their own pride and joy, a little dialect that only they speak. Nations and programming communities are not that different, nor are programming communities more rational. If they were, we would all speak esperanto and program in Universal somethin' somethin'...
It is a mistake to think that "combining all features" will make a better language.
You are more likely to end up with a bloated, complex, unreadable mess.
Good language design requires choice and trade-offs to be made. Arguably the best / most revolutionary / most successful languages are the ones that take something out and provide a better alternative rather than add new things in. e.g.
There's a great talk on this top by Uncle Bob Martin - The Last Programming Language
There isn't any tool which has all best features. For instance, a nice features of Javascript and Scheme is that they are small, so if you start packing features, you have already lost on this one.
Still Cobra looks promising in the direction of having all the nice features from other languages. :-)
Because if you create such a language, it will be yet another new language. You might get a large fan base, but all the other languages will still exist.
C still exists even though many new languages were invented since.
You could say that python is such a universal language, but then there's also ruby.
The reason there are many language is simply because there are many programmers and some of them like to create new languages.
The reason there's no single universal language that everyone agrees on is that programming as a craft is not dictated by some institution that makes all the decision. Everyone is free to do what they want.
That's a good thing.
Maybe a little different slant on all this:
What is a language? To be ridiculously simple, it's vocabulary, syntax, and semantics.
What's the first thing you do with a programming language?
Why? So now you can say things in it you could not say before.
IMHO, the thing to look for in a general-purpose language is if it makes it easy to create special-purpose languages.
Aside from the swiss-army-knife argument (which has a point -- it is more difficult to design a good wide-spectrum language than a domain-specific one -- but that doesn't mean such a language wouldn't be both possible and a good idea), there are problems with "combining the best features":
In short, language design is harder and more complicated than that. Although, you may want to take a look at Scala.
With all that is written so far, it is hard to add much new rationale, but I will throw in a few.
Visual Batch is an attempt at customizable programming language. The Link Below shows how this programming interface can be adapted to suit the needs of a Universal Programming Language.
There is a universal programming language. It's called "machine language" and everything in any other computer language is ultimately executed as machine language.
What does it look like? A string of 0-9 and A-F.
But it's a bitch to use. So Alan invents a language that can be translated into machine language and is more appropriate to what Alan wants to do. Bill invents a different language for what Bill wants to do. Before long you've got Cobol and Fortran and Lisp and Java. All of them are just simplified vesions of machine language, easier to write certain kinds of programs but harder, or impossible, to write other types of programs. One is good for accounting, another is good for controlling the space shuttle.
Most answers here focus on using the best tool for each problem. I don't believe this is a good enough reason.
If you look on large companies then usually the company will tend to use a single (or a small number) of languages and technologies, even if for a specific project theres a some what better language.
This is done because the benefits that arise from improved standardization, easier support, code sharing, etc. are (most times) larger then the added value of a specific language.
Just because,
there is not an UNIVERSAL computer.
not an UNIVERSAL plateform.
not an UNIVERSAL programmer.
and not even an UNIVERSAL client.
So simply we need a different one for a different one. ;)
I think all the "because you don't carve statues with a pencil" answers are missing the point.
Who here, TRULY selects a language before every new project?
The truth is, we only need a few programming languages, and the programming world would be better off that way: people would focus on making the scripting language better instead of being scattered across python/ruby/perl/younameit for example.
C# is programmed on/for windows (alright, there's Mono, anybody here runs a C# under Mono app every day?) and that makes users buy Windows7/8, and that makes money for Microsoft.
We must look to economics to answer this question. If it saved business money to have just one language, we would have it. They would standardize on it and require everyone to use it. The other languages would languish in dusty academic buildings and the basements of wild-eyed enthusiasts. This has not happened, so their must be no profit incentive in a universal programming language or one would have naturally evolved by now.

TCI Trans Scat Install - Get Your Shift TogetherWritten by on August 24, 2005 Installing the TCI Trans-Scat reprogramming kit in your TorqueFlite
In our November issue we rebuilt our TorqueFlite for severe street duty, and outlined the performance modifications required to make your transmission bulletproof. We ran out of pages, so we'll take you through the valvebody and servos to show what it takes to firm up the shifts for tire chirping results here on our Web site.
For our project, we chose the Trans-Scat performance modification kit from TCI Automotive. This kit will give us the shift quality we desire, while retaining the automatic shift features when selected in the drive position.
TCI Automotive has been in the transmission business since 1968 and has a reputation for providing quality products. TCI can provide the parts you need to modify or rebuild your transmission, or they have transmissions and components in stock and ready to install. We chose to install our Trans-Scat kit ourselves to save a few bucks.
Our kit had options for either street/strip or heavy duty/towing. Since our transmission is destined for our '68 GTX clone, we chose to install it using the street/strip instructions. We found the instructions provided with the kit complete and easy to follow. Since our transmission was being overhauled, we installed the kit during the process. The kit can also be installed with the transmission still in the vehicle without much trouble, so don't be afraid to tackle the job in your garage, or driveway for that matter. Remember this kit is designed to improve shift quality and will not fix internal problems with your transmission. If you question the integrity of your transmission's internal workings, our advice is to pull it for an overhaul before installing the Trans-Scat kit. Also remember these pictures and instructions are a good reference, but are not a substitute for the instructions provided in the kit. Always read and understand the instructions before beginning the project.

The first step is to drain the transmission and remove the pan. If the transmission is still in the vehicle, it's wise to let it cool a little before beginning the work. If you're impatient, be sure to have a first aid kit handy so you can treat the burns that the 250-degree fluid causes as it pours over your hands. After removing the pan and treating your burns, you can remove the valvebody by removing the 10 retaining bolts. Also, you will need to remove the shifter and kick down arms before removing the valvebody. Remove the last bolt slowly as there is a servo spring between the valvebody and the case. As you remove the valvebody, you'll need to pull it down and forward to disconnect the park rod. Your car should be on jackstands with the wheels chocked for this operation. If the car is parked on a hill, try to move out of the way, so it doesn't roll onto you and crush you when you disengage the park rod. The filter can now be removed from the valvebody by removing the three retaining screws.With the valvebody removed, the front band adjusting screw on the outside of the case can be loosened enough to remove the band apply-linkage. The front-band lever can now be moved so that the front servo cover can be removed. This is done by removing the snap ring. Use a C-clamp to compress the servo slightly to aid in the snap ring removal. This will expose the servo and return springs. If your transmission has two servo return springs, remove the outer spring and reassemble the servo. If only one spring is present, reassemble the servo as it was removed. The band adjusting linkage can now be reinstalled and adjusted by tightening to 72 inch pounds, then backing off two full turns before tightening the lock nut.The rear servo is now accessed by fully backing out the rear band adjustor and pushing in on the band so that the band strut can be removed. Now rotate the band-apply lever so the rear servo retaining snap ring can be removed. Be sure to apply pressure to the retainer as you remove the snap ring so the spring doesn't jump out and get lost or cause injury. Our transmission is the '67-and-later design, so we compress the servo spring slightly and replace the snap ring with the one provided in the kit. The servo is now reinstalled with the servo return spring supplied in the Trans-Scat kit. The band apply linkage can now be reinstalled in reverse of the way it was removed. Adjust the rear band by tightening to 72 inch pounds and backing off two-and-a-half turns before tightening the lock nut.Now the accumulator (center) piston can be removed by pulling straight down. If you find a spring behind the piston, you can discard it. For street/strip applications such as ours, the piston is reinstalled without the spring. For the heavy-duty/towing setup, install the kit's blocker rod into the back of the piston before installation. Using a punch and hammer, we tap the cupped orifice plug into the direct clutch oil passage in the case, making sure it is completely below the surface of the case. The modifications to the case and servos are now complete, so we can move on to our valvebody.Set the valvebody on a clean workbench to begin disassembly. Begin by removing the pressure regulator spring retainer (located next to the selector lever), then the adjustment plate, regulator spring, converter valve spring, regulator valve, and converter valve and lay them on the bench.Now the 14 screws that sandwich the separator plate between the valvebody casting and the transfer plate (looks like a maze) can be removed, and the three parts separated. Take care not to loose the metal check balls from the transfer plate.After removing the shift valve end plate, Shift Valve, and spring, as well as the governor plug end plate, both shift valve governor plugs, shuttle valve throttle plug, and springs, the main casting is drilled using the drill guide and bit supplied in the kit. When removing valves, plugs, and springs, be sure to keep the valves separate and keep the springs with their respective valves to avoid confusion later. If you do confuse some of the valves or springs, the instructions contain a nice exploded-view diagram to aid in reassembly.The main casting is now drilled by installing the drill guide onto the casting as shown in the instructions, and drilling out the portion of the casting under the center hole with a 3/16-inch drill. Be careful to drill out the casting wall only to the floor of the casting. Do not drill completely through the casting. The idea is to remove the wall, allowing fluid to travel between the two open areas. You can make a drill stop by wrapping tape around your bit 3/8-inch from the end of the tip to prevent drilling too far.After drilling the main casting, we cleaned all of our valvebody parts in solvent and dried with compressed air. The shift valves can now be assembled in the reverse order of removal. The governor plug valves are also reinstalled. The Trans-Scat kit offers the option of a special 1-2 shift valve governor plug that allows you to downshift to low gear at any speed. We chose not to install this feature since our car is destined for family use. The throttle pressure-valve, kickdown valve, pressure regulator-valve, and converter valves are now installed in the casting, and the casting is set aside.
Our attention is now turned to our separator plate, which is modified by enlarging several of the drilled holes to increase fluid flow to certain areas of the valvebody. All of the required drill bits are supplied with the kit. Remember to follow the kit's instructions carefully and be sure to deburr any holes you drill with a file, deburring stone, or sandpaper so that the valvebody parts all mate properly. Clean the transfer plate and separator plate in solvent and dry prior to assembly. With the casting lying on the bench, the steel check balls are reinstalled. Our application had five quarter-inch balls, but the street/strip version of the kit dictated that we only reinstall four of the five. All models retain the 11/32-inch ball in its stock location. The instructions and diagram were clear and easy to follow.The transfer plate assembly, separator plate, and casting are now put back together, and the 14 screws are reinstalled. Now the pressure regulator spring, converter valve spring, adjusting plate, and retaining cage are reinstalled. All transfer plate and end plate screws are now tightened to 35 inch-pounds.The pressure regulator spring retainer cage is now adjusted so that the distance from the manual valve to the adjusting screw is 17/8-inch. We used the gauge supplied with the kit to measure for this adjustment. The throttle pressure adjustment is performed by inserting an 1/8-inch drill bit between the kick-down valve and the throttle pressure cam. Now adjust the stop screw until it just touches the cam. Be sure to tighten the jam nut after performing this task.The pressure regulator is now adjusted with a 5/16-inch allen wrench and the paper gauge supplied with the kit. For street/strip we adjusted our pressure regulator to 13/16 inch. The filter is now installed, and the valvebody is ready to be reinstalled. We chose to upgrade to TCI's deep aluminum pan for extra capacity and cooling, so we installed the filter lowering block to locate our filter closer to the bottom of the deeper pan.Reinstall the valvebody into the transmission by first inserting the park rod into the hole in the rear of the case and rotating the driveshaft until the rod engages. Now the valvebody can be aligned and installed in the case. Check your shifter seal for evidence of leaks, if you find leaks, now is the time to change the seal. The ten valvebody attaching bolts are now torqued to 100 inch-pounds.

Do You Know These African-American Pioneers?
Everybody knows about famous African-American firsts like Martin Luther King and Barack Obama. But did you know about the amazing feats of these lesser-known black pioneers?
1 of 10
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
Booker T. Washington was a man of many firsts. He was the first African-American to be invited to the White House, by President Theodore Roosevelt. He was also the first African-American to be depicted on a postage stamp. For much of his career, Washington was the director of the Tuskegee Institute, a teaching college for African-Americans, but he gained much of his fame from his eloquent and impassioned push for racial equality.
Next: Jack Johnson (1878-1946)

How can I modify the glossaries e.g.
alttree style to not use bold fonts for the entries in second level. First level should remain bold.
I'd like to do it like
\glossarystyle{list}% base this style on the list style
\renewcommand{\glsgroupskip}{}% make nothing happen between groups
but I do not know the command to "renew"
P.S.: Using the
longragged style would fit even better. In that case I'd like to change the identication of the first column and make first level entries bold.
