Well 50% chance if your zero is binary or 10% chance if your zero is decimal. Good thing the article let us know;). Or you can't really ask that question if it isn't a value that ever changes, ever. Or maybe you can. Probably.
Off chance (no pun intended) does anybody know if the decimal number distribution for pie breaks out to an equal distribution for numbers 0-9? Because that off-chance might changes things, probably. Crumb size is important.
Have you seen what the few hundred thousand monkeys here in the US has been doing lately? They make more than the private sector, apparently bean counting is a lucrative globally lucrative business.
And I guarantee most of that extra income goes to...hookers and blackjack!
Shhhh. Your going to confuse average joe-sixpack even more. The editors must have assumed that their tripe would pass the standard jargon filter. Does anybody have a regex for finding all the jargon in some text, so you can subsequently replace it with stuff this guys says?
I'll do it for you, its a great karma whoring setup (and might get *real* karma for posting from King James, who knows):
And [the Antichrist] causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
And that no man might buy or sell, save [except] he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Rev 13:16-18 KJV
The difference seems to be that this number is tied to a fingerprint, iris scan, and facial photograph. That's a lot scarier than my social security number currently is.
A) Not trolling. Mods, get your shit together. This is trolling (NSFW).
B) Reply is correct in that, yes, a difference exist; the country is requiring biometric information for unique identification. Although some could argue picture, birth cert. etc for a SSN card are similar, this is one step further. The summary (FTA) makes the point that if this UID become a ubiquitous requirement, well, your biometric identity will be stored by the government. This could be a good thing. It could be bad. Who knows. I do know that I do now trust American authorities with my biometric identity; we all know how tight their data retention and security policies are.
With that said, coming to a country near you. Minority Report!
From a spatial standpoint, there almost identical in terms of datatype support. For tinker development, Express will work just fine. Its just the limitations of express will put a hamper on larger projects (10 GB limitation, 1 CPU, Partitioning). But then again, if your operation is encroaching on those limitations, hopefully the full Server will be within your reach. Something like a web app that has routing and centerline data for the entire country, and with you perhaps offering an web API for accessing that data, well, Express just wont cut it.
In response to the old guard comments, some good supporting evidence of the newcomers understanding the importance of getting away from flat layer/shape/whatever files is SQL Spatial support in SQL Server 2008. If you haven't played with it, well, it is pretty impressive for Microsoft (at a hefty cost, of course).
I also heard rumoring of upcoming Spatial support in Azure (might be already here), so if that goes well, companies dealing with alot of customer map data will have a sweet way to move it all to the cloud, and serve it out via web services, and with many of the different mapping providers, this will provide excellent venues for serving out customer map-data from the cloud, allieviating them them on-site storage head-aches, and makiing things much more scalable and modular.
I know tools like ESRI's line of products have also come a long way in terms of Web 2.0-ish kind of stuff, as well, and they are worth checking out if you want to get into professional GIS work.

At first glance I thought they were going to complete the conjunction by saying "and the plane cannot fly." But Cpt. Obvious reminded me that UAV is the new aviation buzzword (trend?).
I just bought two copies of GTA IV (pc version) for me and my girlfriend, in the hopes that there would be some cool co-op. After installing 'Rockstar Social', and having to get a damn 'Games for Windows' Live-esque account, and having to register account after account and confirm this after that after serial after serial, I said, well, Fuck. It. In the trash they go, and $40 down the tube. Shoulda looked at the reviews first I guess.
Overreaching DRM and poorly written interfaces upon interfaces are the death knell for PC gaming. I am sorry, but they just keep getting worse, and worse and worse. Albeit the gaming experiences might be improving, the overall software experience is absolutely terrible. The amount of disneylandish crap pc game devs are pumping into games to mimic the consoles is absolutely infuriating, and doesn't seem to be getting any better.
I'll say it. I love PC gaming, but it is definately an industry that will die if they don't all get together and streamline some of the bullshit. Steam is the closest thing we have, albeit still is one more interface you have to use to get to another interface to start/load/join a game.

Your assumption of Spanish is indicative of hilarity.

I am sure six-pack wouldn't notice.

Meant to post ESRI Web Mapping API link.

If you look at the image more carefully you can see four props (two pairs of contra-rotating three-blade props).
Observational skills severely lacking. No wonder outsourcing is so prevalent!
Who reads the article? The image shows two props, so the correlation is understandable, but not necessarily forgivable.

At least its a funny troll. Nevertheless I have just fed it.
At least they're trying.
The douchers that are hamstringing the text-to-speech providers need to be bitch-slapped, twice.

Similarly, this just in. Looks like the administration is taking a page out of the Onion's book.

Back to Q3A and CS 1.6.
Day by day we march towards complete and total Orwellian overwatch.
I guess the mods have their sarcasm / dramatic irony filter turned off today.
