I want to see the merchant ship that manages to buy 126 of these containers and then either floats around aimlessly never offloading cargo or somehow manages to offload cargo while always keeping the 126 top level crates on the ship without the intelligence agencies of the world taking notice and tracking it's every move and therefore being ready to blow it out of the water the moment it makes a threatening move towards a carrier group.
I'm confused, are you arguing that Obama started wars and is a bad person or are you making a false dichotomy by claiming that because Commodore64 thinks Obama is a bad leader that Com64 must support Bush and everything Bush did? Some of us judge leadership by more than the ability to point out something the previous leader did even worse.
They'll still have a readme file that I can print out on my dot matrix printer and store in a three ring binder for future reference though right?
My grandfather actually used to make me do this when I was little, being an old school engineer. God help me if he saw me uncheck that "view readme first" check-box after the installation.
You seem to insinuate something you want has no monetary value while still expecting large amounts of people to spend time and money to produce it for you. I don't see how your theory works in the absence of freeloading off paying or ad-watching customers.
The problem is you're only thinking of how it might affect the life of the person already dying, not everyone else. The FDA knows it's a bad idea to give wonder drugs out to the general population without extensive testing and you'll thank them when the zombies don't eat your brains.
I think the claim is no one else can do it and not cause the USPS to be unable to provide universal mail coverage at a universal price irregardless of geography as they are mandated to do. You're really that upset that there isn't an open market for first class mail service? 44 cents is egregious to you and you think an open market would decrease that enormous 44 cent cost while still providing everyone coverage?
Yea, it's giving up some freedom, that's the whole concept of government. People giving up some freedom in return for civilization. In this case I think most people are more then fine not being able to open up a first class mail delivery company in exchange to knowing the whole country gets mail service, not just the profitable parts, everyone pays a common rate, and the USPS is able to completely support itself without tax money. Seems fair to me. I'm glad they wrote that power into the constitution.
Application 1 pays a staff of graphic designers and UI designers to create images and a well thought out design. That cost must be included in the price of the product in order to make profit. Application two grabs finished images straight out off of the other companies website and slaps them into their product with no effort or cost. Application 2 is now benefiting off the work of Application 1's staff. Application 1 doesn't look any better for the extra money spent on it, and has a higher cost.
Besides the cost ramifications, you're talking about taking an artist's work without permission and using it as your own without attribution. That's indefensible. It's an eleven man company, we're not talking about sticking it to record labels, or ridiculous copyright laws. We're talking about taking work directly from an artist and not giving them credit for it
To be honest I misunderstood the issue at hand to be whether math.random() produced random enough results rather then it being a completely nonsensical use of math.random() in a sort comparator
As for checking what interns do I wouldn't expect a task this menial to require checking. I guess that's something I take for granted working at a small company that can afford devoting time to quality control during the hiring process.
Your words are not clear. Here's a pro tip for how you tell: Your audience is asking you to explain them and the reasoning behind them.
You state something is a flaw but you don't explain how it should work ideally. If you know something is flawed you should be able to describe the non-flawed state you envision. You identify what you believe to cause the flaw but you either refuse or are unable to expound on how it is causing it.
If you want me to simply read your words for what they are on the page then I read them as unfounded claims with no supporting evidence or even explanation of causal relations. The type spouted off by idiots whose entire political discourse is based off blaming whatever they don't like on the two party system and then being unable to delve any deeper into either the issue at hand or how changing the two party system would fix it
However, I'm asking you to instead explain the ideas and evidence behind your claims rather then assuming there's nothing behind them.
Wow, so that had nothing to do whatsoever with how a two party system is somehow at fault for keeping action from being taken on an issue 36% of the people support, or what type of system would fairly enable that. At no point during that rambling incoherent response did you state anything that resembles a coherent thought on that issue, and I'm not sure what issue you think you're addressing is even real. At one one point you're worried about former confederates and their slaves being treated differently (you're right btw, they don't even get to vote. Sucks being dead don't it?) and at another you put civilian in quotes when referring to the president which I assume insinuates the president is actually a military operative? Surely you don't think that George W. Bush, Mr. National-Guard-but-we're-not-sure-I-actually-ever-showed-up-for-service is considered military personnel, let alone Obama?
Anyways, that's great. My point is, make a pamphlet about all that Mary J stuff, go door to door, and educate people, and convince them about the issue. Garner popular support and politicians will listen. Get more then 50% of the country to agree, and you can get the laws changed. That seems far more productive to me then making vague complaints about the two party system keeping you down with absolutely no suggestion on how your issues would be resolved by some other system.
You said you're upset because the current two party winner takes all system is able to block action from being taken on an issue that 36% of the people support. So I put it to you again what type of democratic system would enable action to be taken that only 36% of people support?
I'm confused as to what I'm misinterpreting or are you just not ready to discuss you view beyond vague complaints about the two party system keeping you down?
Exactly what type of fair, democratic system do you propose where 36% of the people supporting an issue is enough to get it passed? I don't see how any sort of system, no matter how many parties there are, could possibly be more democratic by allowing 36% of the nation to pass a measure that 64% don't want. It seems to me the system is not the problem, and if you all feel so passionately about the issue you should be debating it, educating people on your viewpoint and rallying more support for it.
But what do I know, maybe trying to convince people to rewrite our entire system of democracy and governance that countless people have died fighting for would be waaaaay easier then convincing them that legalizing some mary jay would be beneficial for the nation.
You're right, after reading TFA this was a poor choice. The summary misled me into thinking that they didn't think you could just throw math.random() at a problem like this which you absolutely can. You just can't throw it at is in such a retarded way. What should have been summarized is that you can't violate the rules of sorting by using math.random() inside the comparator itself and still expect to get random results. Microsoft got lucky here that they're the ones that get put in the fifth spot otherwise your right, it could have ended up costing them even more money.
One solutions takes 3 seconds, can be done by an intern, and makes the company no money. The other solution takes a little bit of time, maybe some reading or prior knowledge and still makes the company no money. The results yielded for each solution are acceptable for the situation. Given the cost to profit it seems like Microsoft chose EXACTLY the right solution.
This is like your community telling you that you must have a fenced in yard for your dog to be off the leash and then setting up a cheap 6-foot standard wooden fence and then the local anti government militia guy laughing at your ignorance because everyone who knows anything about fences knows you choose the solution that's 12 feet high with curved top to prevent climbing and a sunken base of 3 feet to prevent dog-tunneling.
Probably because it takes more then 30% of the people to elect a representative and of those 30% very few probably consider it the deciding issue in who they vote for whereas a large percentage of the group that does not favor it would immediately decide not to vote for a candidate regardless of other issues if they favored legalizing it.
When there's enough people that want it badly enough and will actually go to the polls I'm sure politicians will have absolutely no problem pandering to that voting block.
Never driven stick have you? Some measure of rollback should always be expected of the car in front of you on a steep incline. Manual transmission drivers don't have three feet, they can't hold the break, clutch and gas at the same time. Even so, rollback isn't usually more then a foot or so even for inexperienced drivers. If you're nestled up that closely to someone stopped on a hill you deserve to lose some paint.
One would assume the different android-based phones likewise have no trouble communicating with each other (making calls) but that the applications released or one won't necessarily work on another.
Ignoring the slight impact changes in population levels and transportation technologies might have had upon organizing and mobilizing armies over the last thousand years we must be reading different history books and be observing different versions of modern warfare. If you've been paying attention to the war currently happening there hasn't been much force on force action with way over 500 men on the field actively participating. If your idea of a more peaceful war is less men on the field then you should be all about some robot controlled drones =P
Yes, because everyone knows the middle ages when kings and princes were expected to lead their kingdom's troops to battle were the most peaceful in all history.
Because Date of Birth is a completely legal question to ask and then decide upon during an interview process, and they're totally going to be able to tell the difference between a 20 year old that just graduated that Spring and a 21 or 22 year old.
Or, it might be that the people who created the plan and work on the project actually believe their plan, ideas, and what they've been doing with their lives isn't a giant waste of time and money?
I'm not saying their idea and plan IS the right one or not, I just think it's far more likely that the project manager and his staff believe they are on the right track than the possibility that they know their own ideas aren't good and are being hypocritical gravy train riders. People tend to have the belief that their own work and ideas are good the world over.
Nothing that is, except Jedis! Clearly this is the worst of all possible cases, we will weed all the non force-sensitive mosquitoes out of the population leaving only the strongest and most capable to breed with an insatiable thirst for revenge!
I'm confused why you became disillusioned about "nothing happening" to punish the cheaters. The student already screwed himself by cheating in the first place since you had different versions of the exam, and then he got a letter of reprimand in his file so if it happened again he'd probably be kicked out or forced to take a semester off to think about it, and a zero on his exam, and if your like most colleges I assume this exam is somewhere between 20-30% of his grade, making it rather hard to pass.
Exactly what form of punishment would have satisfied your thirst? The two students I caught were given the chance to either admit that they cheated and receive a negative 100 as a grade or have the matter taken before the academic ethics board or court or whatever they call it where they could plead innocent but. They of course chose to take the negative 100s as the board could have handed out far more serious repercussions and this was a first semester, first year course. Sometimes it's better to scare people and make them realize that this is the real world with consequences now, and then give them the chance to straighten up.
