How about one- or two-character names that aren't used as or ever likely to be used as an international country code? I'm pretty sure ICANN's money grab still requires you to have at least a 3-character TLD.
Another idea would be (if you're just worried about hostnames, and search domains won't work for you) to do like those dodgy web sites that use $COMMONWORD$DIGIT$DIGIT.com and stick digits one one side or the other. If you're really hardcore and only have Dell equipment, you can use the service tag ID for the machine name!
That's not millimeters. Both Ms are in caps, so it's actually 200 mega miles. I bet those guys can get a lot of free flights with that many frequent flyer miles!
I suggest you read D&E to understand how various parts of the language came to be. Then read Google's C++ coding style standards so that you can realize that you are not alone, and other people think that many of the features of C++ are inscrutable crap, too.
I mean, I understand the need for templates, but that doesn't mean I have any love for using them. C++ did a good job of adding OOP on top of C as a systems language (class methods are so much cleaner than tables full of pointers to functions), but I'd rather use a language with more dynamic OOP as an applications language. (such as Objective-C, even with it's odd little mishmash of syntax)
I'll grant you that purely on merit overloading is potentially a legitimate "cruft"candidate as it adds essentially no functionality while potentially increasing confusion, especially operator overloading
But it does add functionality! It lets people show off by creating stunt code like iostreams, where the bit-shift operators can be abused for I/O functions!
Citizen, have you not yet received your monthly Malicious Software Removal Tool? Clearly you are telling an untruth about using XP and should report to a re-education center immediately!
They better be filtering out the non-printing characters that do fun stuff like reverse the text direction, overstrike, etc. How long until people start registering gmail addresses with Zalgo text?
And how long until someone registers pile of poo @gmail.com?
Not only are the new CBS episodes available by this new high-tech wizardry known as an "antenna", reruns are probably available via syndication in your area at least 5 days a week. I'm sorry if having to wait for the time slot is offensive to young whippersnappers like yourself, but it's worked just fine for decades now.
And if you set a DVR to record them, you can watch them any time you want. I don't even try to set my DVR for the daily ones because at 2.5GB each it would just fill up before I could watch them, and I've seen most of the earlier syndicated episodes already. I had to marathon a bunch of them a few weeks ago so I could clear up some space.
Well, CBS is the network that airs the show, so that makes some sense. Apparently he knows of a store they have, perhaps an online store. Disney tries to have merch stores in a mall in every big city they can, so CBS ought to have at least one store somewhere.
The "a" article in front indicates that it should be followed by a consonant sound, and as "ell" starts with a vowel, maybe AudioEfex is just one of those slobs who doesn't attempt to proofread his posts, and he meant to type CBS.
Officially they have "broken ground" at Reno, though they have not yet confirmed that they are actually going to put the gigafactory there. I have also been thinking for a few months that it is going to be built there.
Even if that's completely true, a vaccine typically isn't much use after you are already infected, so I don't know what that has to do with flying these two people into the US.
The point of a vaccine is to teach your immune system what the bad thing "looks" like before you get infected, so that it will be ready when the infection starts.
Too bad reality can't be that awesome. In reality, ebola will spread worldwide and depopulate the Earth for the purpose of finally finding a use for a really cool isolation lab that's been collecting dust at Emory for decades.
Once I got a call from a recruiter for a circuit board assembly job... because I had "assembly language" in my resume. (And another time I got a call for an IBM 370 Assembler position because of course that's the only assembly language that has ever been invented, but at least that was somewhat less off-target.)
Anyhow, most code monkeys out there are not "software engineers", regardless of what HR calls them. They don't engineer their code so much as poop it out and throw it at each other through the bars of the cage.
I was a member for a couple of years back in my college days in the '80s. And what I got out of it was nothing but a pile of magazines that weren't interesting to me. So I dropped ACM and kept the subscription to Byte.
I had recently upgraded the CPU in my living-room MythTV PC to an i7, using the standard Intel fan cooler from the retail box CPU. (It originally had the lowest i3 Celeron I could get, because I wasn't sure I would finish it.) The PC itself was in an Antec quiet case which generated little noise.
Upon waking from a nap on the couch, I heard the sound of a fan and thought that it was coming from the PC. Once I had fully awakened, I realized that the noise was actually coming from the main air intake to the central air-conditioning.

When I was 14, my internet was Byte magazine and television.
(inb4 my internet was AM radio, my internet was relays clicking in Morse code, and my internet was fires on the horizon)

I'm sorry, I missed the part that said these stamps were either made in or used in China. Could you point me to the relevant part of the article?
I think it would have been simpler to just make a QR code to the DL's wikipedia page. And probably as successful.
Maybe people can start putting hex dumps of the EEPROM data to unlock tek scope features in their Slashdot signatures?
Last I checked, you can't use a JPEG image in the To: field of an e-mail header. Maybe you could give a link to a UTF-8 text example?
I think ròót@gmail.com is a better choice because it looks angry.

3) Better weather: less rainy days, less tropical storms. That's the other major cause of delays at Canaveral.
And not much farther by truck from McGregor (near Waco), where they already have a cozy little shack.

I'll just wait for them to replace php_specification() with real_php_specification() ... or is it php_real_specification() ?

At least your local Mensa usually has a monthly games night.

The worst part is that they filmed it with vertical video! Lock up those punks!
