There are about 200 assloads to the fuckton (well, 213.134). Assloads, in turn, are subdivided in shitloads (7 and a half of shitload per assload to be exact). Shitloads come apart in normal 'loads' (23 loads to the shitload), which subdivide in 'lots' (3.2 lots to the load). Things become more humanly measurable here; 'lots' subdivide in 'much'es (8), which subdivide in 'some's (2.2), into 'a bit's (1.7). Bits have their own proper conversions to mmol, eV, picoliter and Angstrom, but this margin is too narrow to describe it.
Whoa man - miniskirts, large breasts ! Could you rephrase your post please, because your examples and metaphors are getting in the way. Now I'm not getting any meaning out of it.
I think the British would have made it a (very public) hanging of at least a few. Just to scare anybody with similar ideas. The others, they would have tried to tell on their friends and swap sides using both the carrot (possessions) and the stick (also being hung). The Brits didn't do a lot of disappearing; that was reserved for the French a century before that.
Well, maybe you could use the earth's gravity then; you would step into your time travel vehicle, move back a second, fall back to earth, move back another second, fall back to earth again (or reposition yourself). If you do it quickly, you wouldn't notice, and you'd still be on earth when you arrived.
It goes against current developments; more and more phone producers are opening up their devices to programmers. It's true that no one can obligate Apple to do so, especially since they're nowhere near number one in phones. And Apple has a history of wanting to regulate what apps can run on their devices and how they look. But it does reflect badly on Apple, and it does go against the trend. Don't you agree ?
I'm no scientist, but I'm an engineer, and a trained artist too. I do not pretend to understand why I do what I do when I paint or draw, and why I appreciate it. I can talk about it until I'm blue in the face, but it would not get you any closer to understanding it. Personally, I would consider astrology a somewhat boring, uncreative hobby, but I do understand it's easy to be fascinated by things that you don't grasp. It's a wonderful escape, and the result can be much, much more satisfying than a well-built project.
Lots of people look at your bits with your permission; doctors, correction facility officers, the military, visitation people at airports. You could get around the awkwardness easily by establishing a code of conduct, and special procedures (like, I only want to be seen by a woman - ok, get in this special line here). But it would be expensive, and it would add a notch to the paycheck of the otherwise menial job of airport security officer. This technology is only being developed to avert payrises. Because T-ray/will/ be there at some point.
Under this metric, WP-spamming is easy enough. You just need a website article as reference, so you just write one up, put it on your local webserver, link to it, and presto - instant wikipedia credibility. The point is: there is really no need for a discussion on why 'the varieties of the Clingon language' need an entry in/any/ encyclopedia. It's simply intuitive (although apparently not to everybody): the very dated creative side-abbarations of a bunch of off-hollywood script-writers do not make for a worthy subject, no matter what anyone says. In this case the metric could work the other way around: wikipedia would say: look it up on Google if you're really that interested, there's too much information on the subject already. Too many links should then also mean: no wikipedia entry. But this also goes for serious information: why reproduce RFCs on wikipedia when there are plenty of good sites hosting and explaining them ? Another angle is recentness: there is a reason the article on G W Bush (otherwise very encyclopedia-worthy) is blocked; the subject is so volatile that writing about it in past tense is bordering on the ridiculous. Does this mean I have a 'closed' set of criteria as to what goes on wikipedia and what doesn't ? No, but it hovers in between the aspects I just mentioned: there's an intuition about interestingness, ready availability and recentness. Unfortunately, that's not something you can sell to a group of open-content nerds.
You mean, other than Nokia, oil, hydro, oil, Erikson, Nilfisk, oil, Volvo, oil, Saab, oil, boats, drilling rigs, construction, oil, Ikea, Maersk, oil, and oil, they have no economy ? Sure.
ACK is TCP. IP has a lot of overhead, though, I can imagine, and little in the way of error correction, for space travel. But then, the layer below that is supposed to take care of that. Sorry to point out the obvious.
A good solution would be where the drive holds a little (rechargable) battery, which can use a led to display whether we're in locked or unlocked mode, plus a little keypad (like the one on a briefcase, with wheels, but then electronic, and larger (more numbers) to unlock it. You have to unlock it just before you enter it into the USB slot, and it will lock automatically when you take it out. The drive is naturally locked (that is, the data is stored encrypted), and the voltage on the USB drive feeds a decryption mechanism on a little extra chip. Does this stuff exist yet ?
Yes, but the same logic applies for racist policies. I read the other day (hey - I'm not from the US, I don't have these things readily available) that the US currently incarcerates 1 in 10 black adult males. Without going into the details of why this is, or what can be done to change that: that's a huge number, and it can be perfectly sensible to use this statistic in all sorts of commercial service-provisions: insurance, housing, even airlines.
I heard that nowadays in the US, Mexicans being labeled a different 'race' by some news outlets. It seems especially important with respect to elections and stuff. Care to elaborate ?
Your point is well made, albeit a bit obvious to the average product developer. The point that stands is this: this, too, goes for Microsoft and their 'internalization' of Word and MSIE, doesn't it ?
In Other News, Capitalizers all around the World rejoice when the Definitive Documents will not be Heard of, or Seen, before the Disclose Statement has been passed before the Council of the Upper Case. Shift key Users all around the Planet will express their Utmost Pleasure at the Revealing of the Plan. Dr Evil, in the mean time, who is an Ardent Caps Lock Aficionado, will make all Debtors Disappear. It's That Easy.
Is the origin of life really a part of the theory of evolution ? I thought it was the origin of species. The origin of life, to me, seems more like a discrete (soapy, fatty) chemical process that doesn't have a lot in common with the process of evolution. Why convolute the two ?

This is /special/ in IT ? Well, I be darned - it's never been different in any way for me, at least.
You lose one CPU cycle ?

You should be licking it off each other instead. 'Excuse me, just slithering through, oh - that's delicious, honey !'.

Not under the pressure conditions on Mars, right ?

'If so, it's one of those things that will slow happen more and more, until that's just the way it's done.'
Did that sound good to you ? (Ironically, the word 'good' should really have been 'well' in the previous sentence)
Then what's with that 2Gb limit ? Or what's with the decision to use such formats for mail-storage and databases ?
