A very disproportionate response to a calm and logical GP post.
Watching movies, playing video games, and listening to music are not requirements for life. If you find you have no disposable income, you ought to take advantage of public services available such as the library, parks & recreation, and free workshops for the family instead of using the bad economy to justify your download torrent spree.
Everyone has to live within their means given their pay scales. It's not hard to find cheap alternatives if you start with a positive attitude.
You are wrong. It's a model. It's working because it moves. Therefore, it's a working model train.
Models can be stationary, propelled by a tether, propelled by an external force, or self-propelled with onboard machinery. Examples of such models:
Stationary: Tester's plastic model car. Model of a city building in development. Diorama. Figurine.
Propelled by a tether or platform: Model plane swung with a cord. Boat pulled by a string. Model of the solar system attached base assembly.
Propelled by external force (on-board motor powered by external source): Slot cars. Electric trains such as HO gauge and Lionel. Model sailboat.
Self propelled or self powered (both energy and motor on-board): RC plane. RC car. Battery powered trains. CO2 rocket car. Estes rocket. Model cannon.
This model would fall under tethered.
A model is simply a reproduction of the original, generally on a miniature scale. There are no requirements for mobility or accuracy of internal machinery and external appearance to be called a model.
It's much easier to change a name before 18. Once they go to college, start working, and start buying things... it's a major pain in the ass to redo that trail of documents and papers. If you're serious, I would do it sooner rather than later.
It would be fun to run a website devoted to "everything 486" on a real 486. Course, I wouldn't trust an ancient hard drive to store any meaningful data so storage could be over a network mount.
I also went with slackware. It worked great on a Celeron 500 (admittedly significantly faster than a 486 though) with fvwm or tab wm. I think it's best to go with a real distro with up-to-date libraries. He will have to not install a large portion of the packages but that may a little hairy getting in under 720MB though.
Except.. your mail is sealed in an envelope (or package). Opening that sealed envelope for the purpose of reading it would be a different matter. The equivalent would be your ISP storing your email that the sender sealed with encryption, but in general users don't encrypt. They send in cleartext, which would be akin to receiving your mail as an open sheet of paper such as a postcard.
Re: gay marriage. It gets even more complex if you add gender reassignment. 2 more variables: reassignment before or after marriage, marrying/married to a male or female.
Not disagreeing or agreeing, but responding to your mention of mitochondrial Eve.
Considering the minimum viable population for survival, it would seem to me the single common female ancestor was a radical mutation living among a large genetically inferior host population, which served as temporary support but died out due to being disadvantaged compared to the superior genetics of mitochondrial Eve's offspring.
It's difficult to explain how a small burgeoning human population starting with 1 ancestor could survive. But given the end of the Neanderthal's reign coincided with the start of the human reign and considering the geographical overlap, it's natural to theorize Neanderthals were that genetically inferior host population.
I would propose that increased fertility, lifespan and intelligence would have been the distinguishing factors for humans. These valuable traits may have given Neanderthals incentive to cooperate, which gives credence to the theory humans lived among or collaborated with Neanderthals for the reason of survival.
It's not proof if they attempted to mate, but if you think about modern human behavior (see internet porn, fetish, zoophilia, etc) I think it would have been inevitable, particularly when the Neanderthal population began diminishing to the point when minimum viable population size becomes a factor thus creating a role reversal--humans becoming independent and Neanderthals dependent. The diminishing supply of Neanderthal females might have pressured the males to become desperate.
That's a bad comparison. Janitors aren't in a position of power and they can't throw you out of the store, but store security guards can therefore the store security guard is a better comparison. If you told a store security guard there was a flaw in security, such as a broken camera or unlocked back door, they would listen and do something about it.
The reason airport security doesn't listen is because 1) they aren't held responsible for hurting business 2) the probability of investigation due to criminal event or customer complaint is low 3) they hold a considerable amount of power over travelers. None of those conditions are true with a store security guard because 1) the owner is nearby 2) they are more likely to be held responsible for bothering good customers or failing to prevent crime 3) they are not a small piece in an enormous bureaucratic system.
One of your responders mentioned the Chinese language. So, what about the Chinese language and dialects? It's very old--comparable to Mayan culture. A modern day cantonese-only speaking person has a lot of difficulty speaking with modern day manderin-only speaking person, but both can read each other's printed text.
This is not entirely correct, as there are still Mayan speaking persons in south mexico
I wonder how much deviation has occurred in the spoken language. I think it'd be reasonable to presume a modern day Mayan would be unable to communicate with an ancient Mayan due to generational changes in dialect and word-set, but I'm not sure how it could be determined if there is no phonetic dictionary.
One way: unique serial number dynamically embedded in the app on every purchase that becomes associated with a unique hardware ID and unique credit card transaction ID. There would be 3 tables: phone record, application serial record, and order record. The app would phone home on install (perhaps to download content) or on periodic update checks. It would log the serial number and hardware ID to his server. If any serial number/hardware ID combination shows up sharing serial numbers and are not associated a transaction ID, those records would be flagged as a pirate copies.
It's not as impressive if it's virts. Having 100,000 machines let alone 1-10 million pretty much requires automation in the provisioning workflow. It's much easier to manage lease replacements and upgrades with virts.
Having children certainly doesn't mean you'll suddenly become a wonderful, selfless, caring person, but it is still a life changing event. For the parents who do remain selfish and uncaring, we call them bad parents, and occasionally deadbeats.
This thread is funny--really. The more the non-parental units post, the more they reveal just how much they don't get it. Heh. Heh.
But alas, it's always that way. Childless people always believe they know better. For instance, take your child on the plane and the childless flyers always reveal themselves.:D
Anyway. Those who have kids understand what it's like to be on both sides (because none of us were born already having kids). Those without kids only understand one side. It's not a personal criticism of you; it's simply a fact. If a fact bothers you, it's more likely that you're attaching your own issues to it.
Before I had kids, I spent a lot of time helping my sister raise her kids. I thought I knew what it was all about because I was around children so much, but when I had my own I found out how wrong I was. It was different because my child is 100% dependent on me, and I am the one on the hook for keeping him safe, making sure he gets all his stuff done, and making sure he has a future. Watching my sister with her kids was not enough even though they lived with me for 2 years. I wasn't invested in them the way she was. I wasn't responsible even though I was technically caring for them. Watching is simply not the same as doing.
Adopt a kid and find out what the other side is like.
Shouldn't a literature teacher already know this list? It's foundational stuff any literature teacher ought to know, so I hope this is not representative. If this was my kid's literature teacher, I'd be nervous. It's like an automotive teacher taking a poll on what make of autos he should teach.
A full table lock bound to unpredictable http sessions? Really now. And.. pray tell what's going to clear out the lock when the unlock request never comes? Garbage collection? How would a hacky garbage collector process distinguish a long session vs an abandoned session?
In this case, going with an optimistic lock and handling conflicts after they've occurred is clearly a better solution. Your solution punctuated with smugness was totally inappropriate because web sessions are driven by unpredictable, unreliable, and untrustworthy humans. A full table lock would only work inside trusted network consisting of automated clients adhering to programmatic access patterns.

Just curious. What leads a person like you to spread inaccurate information with such fervor?
Where's the "Buy It Now!" link?

Your comment caused me to envision sending dried turds to the chrome shop. Nice and shiny chrome. Nice and shiny OS.

This has nothing to do with the difficulty of opening the sealed letter. It's the act of opening it that's the issue.
