    If I remember correctly, it is roughly the one we use now, which is primarily different from its predecessor my the means of using a non-lethal chemical, so that everyone in the house does not die when the fridge breaks.

  6. Re:4 Days? on The Magic of Pallets · · Score: 1

    1300 p/m is a little high, but not totally off. I am not saying that those containers mentioned should only take 4 hours, but somewhere in that order of magnitude. I cannot remember the weight/number calculations I did all those years ago, but I ran a few numbers right now that makes 1300 p/m seem within a reasonable order of magnitude.

    I worked with 80 pound grain sacks, so that is a little over 15 sacks per minute. Over 2 guys, that is 1 every 8 seconds. Which, when the sack is handed to you, you walk only a few strides, stack repeat, is actually probably a doable hurried pace. With in shape, experienced, help that get tagged off every 15 minutes. We were probably working at about 1/2 to 1/4 that speed, but that does not make 4 days.

  7. Re:4 Days? on The Magic of Pallets · · Score: 1

    Well I would question the 4 hours to remove a load of pallets from a container. They are only two wide, and what like 8 deep? You should be able to do that in like 30 minutes.

  8. 4 Days? on The Magic of Pallets · · Score: 2

    I have hand loaded many of those standard sized shipping containers myself, with un-palleted materials, it takes two guys like 3-4 hours. And there is no reason that loading would be any faster than unloading.

    Which is assuming that the people who would of bought the game full price instead went out of their way, and dealt with shady Russian mobsters to get a discount. A large amount of revenue would not of been funneled through Russia, and there is no evidence than any money would of been lost by Steam or Developers, indeed some might say that it would of increased sales.

    If you cannot even be bothered to set a price you are not paying enough attention to sell it.

    But you can transfer that codebase to a thousand different aystems, windows, Linux, anything you want, you could even run it on a decemal based computer instead of digital. The program as it is written in an language would run the same every time.

  16. Re: might not be as good as you think on The GPLv2 Goes To Court · · Score: 1

    Because the C spec is written in English. So of course it has the same problem as even the most expertly written law. But the actual interpreter (aka the compiler) is not. Once you have a working compiler, the code you write for it will be interpreted correctly and the same way everytime.

  17. How Hard is it to Price Manually? on Amazon UK Glitch Sells Thousands of Products For a Penny · · Score: 1

    First we got skyrocketing prices, now a glitch is causeing near 0 prices. How hard is it to manually set a price, or at the very least set minimum bounds based on the cost to produce and reasonable maximum bounds?

  18. Programming Language on The GPLv2 Goes To Court · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I wonder if it is possible to create a communication language that has the reproducibility and stability of a programming language. There is hardly even any point in writing out legal rights or documents when everytime it is read it can be interpreted differently. It seems that the law has taken the stance that, since reinterpreting it every time is a hassle and inconsistent, we will just use the interpretation of whoever read it first. But since we have no accurate way of storing legal ideas, how do you interpret the interpretation accurately?

    In this day and age where you pretty much need to be living in a hole in the ground, without internet access, to not know what sininster sort of stuff your government gets up to, this argument is ridiculous. We know that the government us not above secret medical testing on its own citizens, we know they are not above breaking every one of your legal rights if they can get away with it, we know they care more about maintaining their own power than your life or liberty. So why would anyone willingly give up the legal right to refuse an injection?

    I completely agree, stuff like this should come standard out of the box by now. Instead we get a system that works against you with windows you are trying to tile on a single screen trying to snap to full screen.

    This. Monitors are deep enough even in landscape to do just about anything at 100% efficiency. But a landscape monitor allows you to add exta windows. So maybe you get an application at about 100% efficiency and a second little windows open at the same time, if you need it.
