6.56 * 10e13 and 439 * 10e9? What kind of system are you using there, shooty? Then you throw in percent, too. Also, I like how your population is precise to the person, but your budget isn't near as precise. High precision more justified for the latter number.
Yep, GP was off his rocker. The defense budget could buy 1 in 30 family-of-fives a new house every year, though.
Oil producing nations are, almost without exception, so dependant upon income from oil exports that all they would achieve by withholding it for any length of time is an internal coup and the speedy resumption of exports.
That is probably true, with the exception being when coup leads to civil war, and oil exporting capability is destroyed.
When I hear "I've always been a republican" or "I've always been a democrat", I interpret the following meanings:
Claimant has a non-evolving view of the world; experience, age, and wisdom have not tempered their views
Claimant has a false-dichotomous view of the world. Issues have one dimension, and the other side is frequently labeled evil
Claimant's political views on issues align with the party platform with uncanny consistency
Claimant feels strongly enough to self-label Democrat or Republican where such self-labeling is of doubtful use
Claimant is more interested in party success than the effectiveness of the resulting government
Maybe your unwavering allegiance is thought-out and rational, the alignment of your views with party doctrine based on independent analysis and merely coincidental rather than guided, and your self-identifying with one of the two biggest groups of windbags on the planet merely a convenient communication device.
Or maybe you're just another partisan sock-puppet. Hard to say.
It seems that just about anything you could find out about this person would push you further away from the Democratic candidate for president.
For small values of "just about anything".I found out that the Rep-VP candidate is possibly anti-contraception. I found out that the Rep-VP candidate is possibly in favor of teaching Creationism or "Intelligent Design" in the science classroom. I'll admit I don't know much about her yet, but I fail to see how either of these items would push me away from Obama.
Such declarations get bandied about so much that one hardly bats an eye; in my opinion, though, you've just lowered yourself more than anyone else here could.
I like McCaain, but from what little I've learned so far, this VP selection pushes me away from him a little.
I hereby ordain myself a priest of science; now please bow down before me and respect my theories. Oh, wait, you say I have to go to school? And get a BS? And an MS? And do a thesis? Which is reviewed by my superiors? And get a PhD? And do original research? Which must be published? And where my results are peer reviewed? And I have to find a job? And keep the job? Continuing to publish and do research which is reviewed, checked, and evaluated against competing theories and new evidence.
Instead of using a float to store Hz or MHz, why not use a hertz and a megahertz class?
Because native types are faster than classes, and the stuff I work on is very performance-intensive. All those functions for setting, getting, and converting between types add up.
Depends on the language and compiler and optimization settings.
I know that "rich" isn't a technical term, but $30k cars are firmly in the price range of the large middle class in the united states, not exclusively in the price range of the wealthy.
Look around on the highway at all the $30k+ cars that pass you - if there are that many rich people out there, you might want to adjust your definitions a little.
only in the hands of the rich people and not the poor
Ah, I guess that explains your perceptions. No middle.
Even many democrats like the right-to-work arrangement. Clearly, if the union can't get an appreciable portion of the workforce to join and participate, then the working conditions can't be that bad. On the flip side, doesn't it also mean that employers can't use union membership as a reason to terminate?
The distinction between use and distribute in the context of
copyright is clear and useful. Trying to blur the distintion
in a discussion about copyrights seems, well, non-illuminating
to put it mildly.
Can we move this whole discussion to the dead-horse forum?
He didn't say anything. He typed something into his computer.
Since I can't risk the chance that you missed the point of those two sentences, let me spell it out for you:
He wrote Darwinism, but he clearly meant evolutionary theory as it applies to a population to the best of our modern understanding. Hey, sometimes people (even scientists!) use Darwinism to mean just that.
8. Cheap enough for normal folks to afford. Under $300? $300? That's not even an hour with a high-priced prostitute. Let's keep this in perspective, shall we?

This add brought to you by Anonymous Cowards for John McCain. John McCain does not endorse this message.
That's a lot of network.

Yeah, it looked like comic gold and I jumped on it. :)
Well, the current VP shot someone in the face. Seemed to make a difference, locally speaking.

In which case it is either implied, or Palin is being quite disingenuous to her base.
Shit, so much for self-appointed.
True today as it was then; i.e. not true at all.

No mistake, I set you as a friend on purpose. I'm hoping that other threads you are involved in are just as hilarious as this one. +1, my friend, +1.
By the way, the proper response should have been "touche" and not your ironic sniveling about pedantry.

By that logic ... I've been driving drunk for years, and am good at it, so clearly it is ok for me to drive drunk.
wrt dtrace, your last statement makes you an idiot. dtrace is a powerful tool lacking in linux.
Who the hell pays 9% interest on an auto loan? People that should be taking the bus, that's who.
Ok, yeah - we agree - unit tests just help - you still need to use your brain when you do these activities. Thanks
I'm surprised so many in this forum have not heard of "literate programming" to mean what it means in this context.
