Take “idle.” out of the URL and reload the page. It’s a pain in the ass but it works.
I also occasionally use that trick on other subsections of Slashdot whose colour schemes I don’t like (too hard to tell the difference between read and unread posts).
And considering that she had to be sixteen when she got pregnant with a 23 year old...
No, she could have also been 16 when she got pregnant with a 24-year-old, 17 when she got pregnant with a 24-year-old, or 17 when she got pregnant with a 23-year old...
And as far as growing up goes, this will either be a learning experience which few others would rival, or it’ll be a disaster. “Just wrong”, though, is not something I’d automatically call it... yes, there’s a good chance this will be one of the most, if not the most, difficult and significant process in her entire life, but worthwhile undertakings are rarely painless and easy and the outcome of this could be either positive or negative.
It might still be tricky to make them fit – those were often written entirely or partly in assembly language plus you had the BIOS which basically gave you a direct connection to the video display and peripherals. Printing a character or plotting a pixel was as simple as copying a number from one memory location to another. In Javascript you’d have to use a language that was intended to be human-readable (even if you obfuscate it to make it smaller) and furthermore the program itself would have to include an extra runtime even just to give it a <canvas> element to plot onto and define a few methods to plot on it.
A) This birth happened two weeks after the legal cut off in the US.
Let me guess... that’s coming from someone who would argue hard and long about how stupid it is that someone can go into a store and get a bottle of booze on their 21st but not two weeks before it.
Well, hey, I could be wrong. Maybe you like artificial timelines. But answer me this. What’s the difference between hunting turkeys the day before or the day after turkey-hunting season opens? What’s the difference between “aborting” a baby the day before or “murdering” it the day after the law says it’s no longer okay?
It shows a repeater on that wiki page that extends the range. Not surprisingly it also introduces a slight delay. You could extend the signal as far as you want with enough repeaters and as long as you’re willing to tolerate the delay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah... I’ve used those too. They’re more cylindrical and less egg-shaped, i.e. they’re the same length and they’re about the same size around in the middle but don’t taper off at the top end nearly as much as a standard incandescent globe. Some of my fixtures have very little clearance at the top of the bulb and the boxy CFL’s, even the ones you’re talking about, don’t fit.
But hey, I thought the same thing the first time I tried installing one: what the hell, these seem to be the same size, why isn’t this fixture fitting back together? Turns out they’re not exactly the same size. They’re a little bigger. And that makes them a little too big to fit.
Observe the rail: is it moving at 6000 m/s? I don't think so.
The atoms in a solid are constantly moving just like the atoms in a gas. The difference is that they primarily vibrate in-place rather than being able to freely move about.
Now whether or not their typical speed is also about the speed of sound... that I do not know. But your statement was the equivalent of “The sound will travel at N meters per second through the gas. Observe the gas: is it moving at N m/s?”
I agree with you, and I’ll take it a step further. The appropriate way to do this is with software, not with hardware.
Design the phone to take two pictures only milliseconds apart, one with the full effect of the flash and one with pretty much no flash. Then you can snap those spontaneous shots with no prep work and after-the-fact you can “direct” the flash anywhere you want by selectively feathering the photos together.
If the union is strong enough to make it hard for non-union workers to find work, it’s also strong enough to keep its members in line.
Union workers could refuse to participate in the strike... and the union could revoke their membership if they did. Against a strong union that’s a risky move.
Visualising something like fireworks or the national anthem was how I initially discovered it, and I don’t really have to visualize anything anymore to trigger it. I just can.
Right, and that’s about as well as anyone can describe it... red is a colour just like blue and orange are colours; different from both of them, distinct. The emotion that he felt was an emotion, like happiness or sadness, but different from both of them, and like no emotion that anybody else has ever felt, as far as he could tell. Hence there was no word for it, just as before the discovery of the invisible spectrum nobody would have any concept of “infrared” light.
Have you ever heard of The Colors of Space by Marion Zimmer Bradley? I suspect you’d enjoy it.
I absolutely wouldn’t wear the clothes that you described to the bar. I’d be wearing something that it won’t be a disaster if it gets splattered with ketchup or a beer spills on me. But then, I’m not going there to be the best-dressed guy in the joint either.

go to the main page then paste the image URL so your referrer is their site instead of slashdot
Actually, its a blank referrer.
Usually sites don’t block requests that have blank referrers, though. Only third-party referrers...

Ok, wise guy... figure out what this does! (in the MS GW-BASIC 3.23 interpreter... I have no idea how it will behave in anything else)

And considering they are the same gender
“Lee” could be a male’s name (I’d wager that it usually is, actually), and “Lacey” is obviously his last name. I can’t say I envy him it though.

Those aren’t colours, they’re pigments that filter out colours. If you filter out all colours, you get black. It still isn’t a colour.
window.onerror=function(){this.onerror=void(alert('Get a better browser!'))}
Done.
Technically black is not a colour. I guess you could call it a shade, but that’s as far as I’ll let it go.

CFLs can cost under £1 now in the UK.
How... subsidies and taxes?
CFL's aren't like starting starting a a '63 Chrysler Imperial during the dead of a Minnesota winter.
In the dead of a Minnesota winter, yes, that’s exactly what they’re like. When it’s cold they take longer to come on.
I said it was simple and obvious. I never said it was stupid.
Ok... try selling it as a dietary supplement, if that’s the analogy you want to make.

It’s basically a low-resolution B&W (or perhaps grayscale) LCD projector. Hardly revolutionary.

It’s not terribly long. Be sure and lemme know what you thought after...
