[...] gifted students drop out at the same rates as nongifted kids--about 5% of both populations leave school early. Later in life, according to the scholarly Handbook of Gifted Education, up to one-fifth of dropouts test in the gifted range.
I only know of it off the top of my head because I fall into the category of [test in the gifted range] + [left school early]. For the record, I'm more financially successful than most of my friends of comparable intelligence, including the ones who went on to 4 or 6 years at University.
Bacon Salt and Baconnaise are certified kosher. The Jewish hangup with pigs seems very explicit and not open to interpretation, so any other non-pig-but-pig-flavored derivative could probably get certified, too.
Seconded! Seems closer to a minute by the time I can make a call or launch an app. I still love it more than any phone I've had before, I just take care not to run the battery to exhaustion to avoid the boot time.
Point of note: this ill-fated War on Terror didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan because they are the national origin of the aggressors (terrorists), it went there because those countries are accused of aiding and abetting the aggressors. Much like the internet, terrorism knows no national borders. Also, like the internet, terrorism can't be completely eradicated without some apocalyptic efforts. Saudi Arabia has been a very cooperative ally, on the face of things, anyway.
I hope somebody mods this up, I think you're spot on. I do much of my TV watching while doing other things: cooking, cleaning and the like. Most programs don't require 100% focus, one can occasionally just listen to follow along. If there was an auto-skip option that I could turn on, I might do it, but when I'm cooking I find it preferable not to cover the remote in deliciously seasoned animal fat just to skip a commercial.
Likewise, if I'm running around into other rooms, it's much easier to listen around the corner than to find the remote and pause every few minutes. When I first got a DVR (last month... I've been lagging) I tried doing this and found it more irritating than missing a few seconds of the visual. If I miss something important, I can rewind. I don't often find myself rewinding.
Basically, when using TV passively like this, it defeats the purpose if you have to devote any time to it (pressing pause, fast forward, or occasionally forward-play-rewind-play-*CURSE*-rewind-play).
An additional X is not pleonastic if it clarifies or enhances the others. L1, L2, L3 caches serve different purposes along the same line. If we could have/manage 32GB of L1 cache then we wouldn't need the others, but it's too expensive. It's just a price/performance/reliability trade-off.
You must work high up in the government. I remember an Air Force policy coming down along the lines of "You can't use any personal flash devices in our computers--that means iPods!"
I'm shocked* that Oklahoma City seems to have gotten this one right while so many other big American cities have apparently failed. There are still plenty of meters, but they're being phased out for a system with a single pay box per about 10 spots. You go to the box, press the spot number and it shows how much time is paid for on that spot. Add time and go, no receipt to display.
*If you've ever lived in Oklahoma I'm sure you'll understand my shock at their doing something right.
Our vendor (EMC2 via Dell) doesn't have to steal our data to make money, we give them enough of it on a regular basis. I would suggest that you might want to pick a more reputable vendor if this is a concern for you. Otherwise your question seems to have already been answered above.
"That whole nonsense about VFAT" probably refers to this. Most digital cameras use VFAT for the memory card. Most phones, too. It may not be Microsoft code making it work, but it seems to be their intellectual property—for the time, anyway.
The specificity in the language exists to fill a need. Some people need to be able to succinctly identify the difference between a cluster and a supercomputer. If you don't need to then just don't worry about it, but that doesn't mean that there's no reason.
I would agree with you 100% if I didn't see so many... shall we call them low-income families... thriving year after year. They're fully capable of reproducing on their own. IVF is also rather expensive (rather more than the natural alternative, anyway), so I don't see it being a threat any time soon. It'll become just like any other "inconvenience" that you can get around if you have the money--like having to visit the grocer every day and cook every meal, or paying taxes. Would you also argue that we shouldn't waste time treating cancer because those who're not naturally immune are hurting the gene pool?
Personally, I wouldn't go the IVF route. I've a fair amount of evidence suggesting that I may not be able to make babies the normal way. When I finally decide to settle and raise some geeklets of my own, if I turn out to be right, I'll just adopt. As has been said before, there are plenty of unwanted humans from which to choose.
I don't know of a list, but I've read that many LxLabs customers are shutting their HyperVM interfaces down until further notice. VaServ is, you can be damned sure of that.
Disclosure: I'm a customer of fsckVPS, a brand of VAserv, and I sustained almost total data loss here.
SSL certs identifying a site named with an IP address instead of a host name should be just as valid. Name-based virtual hosting would be out, but we can just tack on a port number if we're going this route.
...and SMTP is overrated anyway... we can go back to UUCP mail. People won't mind, right? I mean, it's just a few letters.
Not quite "just as bad," in my opinion. Writing outside of your boundary is much more likely to cause problems (overwriting other things) than reading out of bounds. A 40-byte null-terminated string, for instance, wouldn't be hurt by another 40 bytes of heap data, so long as the null terminator was intact. You may still throw an error if it's not your memory that's being read. Just saying... writing (approx. equals) 100% trouble, reading < writing.

Just my two cents. IANAMS (military strategist)
This might imply that it's acceptable for Christians to have slaves.
I really needed four new tires :-(

Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
I wonder how obscure this reference is. Always brings a smile to my face :-)
Gentoo?

My best guess on the flamebait would be that somebody thought you were talking about Ligesh instead of Rus.

I'm just teasing, your points are all good
Why exactly is this marked troll?
but I intend to use my brain to circumvent a protection mechanism.

U.S. Federal law actually provides a great deal of protection for digital signatures and authentication methods in a variety of contexts. See the Digital Signature and Electronic Authentication Law (SEAL) of 1998 (Fulltext) for financial institutions, or more broadly the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (Fulltext).
