    What is your graduate degree going to be in? Prescience? Psychic readings? Fortune telling? Technology speculation?

    Is that an acceptible topic for thesis work these days - what's the future going to be like? How do you get reviewed on this: we'll let you know in a few years if your predictions pan out.

    Maybe my science fiction novel will get me a masters in physics!!!

    "Optical" usually means something fairly specific when talking about EM: visible, sometimes spilling over to near IR and near UV

    sqrt() is not part of C, strictly speaking :) Type promotion contradicts standard math usage. Get over it. :)

    Right you are. I would suggest putting your code under the GPL or LGPL. Some people might suggest a BSD license, but those people are pedophiles. The GPL will allow you to restrict your client from doing anything with the code that pisses you off. Also, about that problem with your foot, you might try cutting open the skin and having a look-see. This is what doctors call "debugging". Walk around for a while with your foot open - you should be able to see the problem right away.

    3. you obviously care too much about karma. I'm not trying to flame, but it really doesn't matter that much. A few dings from the crack whore moderators isn't going to hurt your overall karma, and if it does, oh well, you know.

    Heh, good one. I do think they make sense: the rules are complete and consistent. Like most (all) things in C, the philosophy is "do what I say" versus "do what I mean". To get the answer I presume you want in your sig, C would have to always do type promotion, or guess what you mean. Both are unacceptible for a language such as C. Remeber, integer math is valid: sometimes you want 1/2 to equal 0 - when it occurs as an intermediate expression, what's the compiler supposed to do, guess your intent?

    I like your intent, but sadly, your efforts will be so far in the noise as to not even register. I know, if more people protested in this way, ....., however, 99% of the people at the store are just going to use them like they're told to, then complain about the junk mail and telemarketers when they get home, and never realize they don't have to comply.

    It also says "In God we Trust" on all those bills, when of course, we really don't. Sometimes, I mark out the word "God" with my trustie Sharpie. My only point is that what it says on the bills may or may not be in line with the laws regarding money as legal tender. Plus to promote the use of Sharpies on dollars.

    SNL is about as funny as a heart attack. Been that way for at least 15 years. Will Farrel is a 1 or 2 trick horse. The rest of the cast has had so little talent over the years. The show is still riding on the coattails of the 70's cast, IMO. I don't watch it much, but everytime I do tune it or see the syndicated episodes on comedy centrol, it's always the same, rehashed, dragged-through-the-mud, beat-on-a-dead-horse, run-with-something-that-was-funny-once-until-every one-wants-to die skits. There's a show that needs to be fucking cancelled. If Saturday Night wasn't such a horrible time slot, it would have been dead years ago.

    YMMV

    When was the last time you saw a Metro bus full?

    Just about every day, during my commute to work. Occaisionally, I have to stand, but that is rare. 75% full or more is not uncommon.

  25. Re:Sound Transit and the Monorail on Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward · · Score: 2

    Of course not - people commute from west seattle to downtown, and from Ballard to downtown. Don't be disingenuous. The proposed first leg is just that - the first of many. You have to start somewhere. Starting with a congested corridor that doesn't involve working out how to put a monorail on floating bridges makes a lot of sense to me.
