I always knew sometime in the future we'd be wearing those 80's wraparound sunglasses everywhere. That or one of those nifty 3-in-1 fake nose, mustache and glasses kits.
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

Oh yeah, and unbelievers will burn for all eternity or something.
In defense, when you're facing 200+ compile errors every morning you don't have much time to document the solutions, you just hope they hold. It's not like anyone fixing a mess of code does the right thing and documents their changes - they just hack it like the last guy. Well written code should be concise, clear and self documenting with accurate and incisive comments, but unfortunately we live in the real world. Just do what I do, and implement the closest thing, just re-implement their ideas using your own toolset. From there it's simple to debug and implement. Just don't let anyone know you're rewriting the codebase or they'll kick up a fuss.
You'd be right if they were wrong, but sadly enough for the >90% MS user base Linux is better than Windows on every front, except where it counts - 3rd party support (software, sales etc.)
This isn't biology by any stretch of the word. Don't let their measuring of testosterone levels make you think this study has validity, or is within the realms of the biological sciences. It's pseudopsycology at best really.
Either way, they never correlated testosterone levels to anything other than good performance at their test, which as other posters mention showed only a single emotional face amongst 3 images, one of which had no face at all. So people like interesting faces more than boring ones, or none at all. Nothing to do with the relationship of anger and testosterone.
They merely set out to prove what they 'knew' was true, and biased their study so heavily as to make the results worthless. This isn't just not biology, it's not science.
I have to agree wholeheartedly with this. BASIC should always be taught first. I was lucky enough to learn BASIC before Logo at age eight, even though I didn't own a computer, thanks to the unsurpassed Usborne computer books for kids. When I came around to Logo I saw it as a toy language not worth the effort. Even then I could conceive of a BASIC program to interpret Logo. I doubt that analogy would hold up vice versa.
Continuing my ramble, while GOTO maybe disparaged it helped me greatly with my first exposure to assembler. Learning GOSUB was just an address push followed by a GOTO made me wonder why languages don't generally make the Instruction Pointer available. Too powerful I guess.
Well finally my favorite language ever was Blitz Basic for the Amiga, which seamlessly combined the basic syntax with assembler to create an amazing hybrid language that compiled to beautifully tight code. Sadly it is no more, and the current Blitz Basic is just a glorified 3d library with a substantially less than awesome syntax or compiler.
You hit the nail on the head. The series is one of the perfect mixes of storyline and gameplay efforts out there, something they kept from the older generation of games. Most games have a focus squarely on the gameplay, and have a fraction of the story. Even titles like Halflife, which have a decent story, don't have the same immersive effect that the FF series does so well. The closest comparison to western games would be the Ultima, Fallout or Baldurs Gate series, yet even then these are not as story driven as the Final Fantasy series.
Some of the most populous cities in the world congregate around coastlines. The effect is global in scope, not limited to Bangladesh. Pacific islands will become uninhabitable, in fact much of Southeast Asia will be underwater, and thats the veritable tip of the iceberg.
On volcanoes, we are churning out the equivalent of tens of thousands of major eruptions each year by purely human pollution.
Either way, a few less colds in Germany hardly accounts for millions of islanders and those in the tropics who will bear the brunt of the current climate change consensus.
Just remember, the 200 years you speak of generally does not account for the possible explosive growth of India, China, South America, or anywhere in Africa, all who have the real potential to break any predictions of future pollution levels.
This is precisely why it is a good idea to pay hackers. There are many rewards already available to the exploiters, yet none of these reward disclosure to the affected parties. If we reward disclosure we can expect to see much more of it. The longer that bugs go undisclosed, the longer malicious hackers will have their zero day exploits. With readily available bounties, these exploits will be much harder to pass around the underground without someone leaking the info. This will close down communications between individuals and groups, and create an atmosphere of distrust in the underground. Conversely, the number of people searching for bugs without malicious intent will increase, perhaps even to the point they outnumber the exploiters.
Reflect on the fact that the Stasi were using paper records, then look at our situation. We are under much heavier surveillance than East Germany was 20 years ago, it's just that we don't need every 4th person to be an informer. IMHO that's far more dangerous.
This is roughly equivalent to saying "you have the exclusive right to whatever you buy for 15 years, but from then on anyone can use it."
That is far from equivalent. It is more something like "you have the exclusive right to whatever unique works you create for 15 years, but from then on anyone can copy the work." Copyright as we have it is a joke, with works that will never enter the public domain. I would say five years is plenty, and fifteen more than adequate, but to perpetuate the copyright even when the creator is deceased is absurd. America is meant to be the bastion of free market capitalism, yet such excessive copyright is highly uncompetitive, and basically a legalized monopoly. It should be kept to the shortest reasonable time so that both the creator can profit and the public can eventually reproduce the work, and everyone can still benefit positively from copyright without the absurd situations we have, ie. Disney owning perpetual rights to centuries old children's tales from around the world.
The quantum computer is a big truck driving around in a series of tubes. I had an Internet on order to be delivered to my quantum computer next Friday, but I got it yesterday.
The magic happens when the bits are linked. If we use 1, 0 and B, we can evaluate an eight qubit number as BBBBBBBB, which is all of the values 0-255 at the same time. Ternary logic has no equivalent - the number '22222222' is just that - a set figure, not a multitude of values.
I spend around 10% of my EvE time on fitting my ships, playing the market and doing the occasional mission, the other 90% I can engage in low sec piracy, or look for war targets. The missions, mining, industry etc. are all optional ways to spend your time. The sandbox environment lets you decide how to play. It is up to you to mine and PvE 90% of the time, you could easily PvP for that 90%. One sided ganks are easily avoided if you keep your wits and a few friends about you. If you want to play it like a spreadsheet, you can. If you want to PvP almost constantly, you can. Just say yarrrr.

There are 0 types of people in the world who understand balanced ternary, those who do and those who don't.
There's obviously not enough third party data to sell at these slower rates.

*sigh* Ah well, thanks for the memories.
I think you meant, "I lost all my important data on my hard drive from failing to make backups."
That's only 2 steps away from self-aware, right?
I know, I know...
Obviously, he also knows next to nothing about computers.

Pity nothing in that song is actually ironic. Isn't that ironic?

Even Cid plays a similar yet different role each time.

So they send one - or did you think OSX and Linux are somehow immune to trojan attacks?
Everyone also seems to forget that exploit authors are end-users too.

Flashmobbing would be a fun one too :)
