the word job would need an article if it's going to be singular.
Depens on the style. For newspaper headlines, articles and conjunctions are almost always removed. e.g. "Man Bites Dog, Cat in Local Park". You could say that's not 'proper', but people use MS Word (and the english language) to write headlines. They don't want green squigglies.
The court opinion stated that they had no problem with stating that evolution is a "theory", using the scientific definition of "theory". But, in stating that evolution it is "not a fact", they are invoking the popular definition of "theory", which means "speculation".
Ultimately it was decided this was a violation of the Establishment clause, because it was religiously motivated.
Imagine there was a religion that strongly believed God wants us to smoke tobacco. So, they put stickers in biology books saying "the link between tobacco and lung cancer is a theory, not a fact".
That would be a violation of the Establishment clause.
but, I predict that within 100 years, robot soccer players will be twice as powerful, 10,000 times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.
The >100% has nothing to do with provisional ballots. Wyoming allows you to register at the poll on election day. The numbers you are looking at are tunout / pre-registered.
/me is wondering how many people read the parent and instantly went into a panic:)
That was my original thought when posting. I'm always amazed how I have to explain to developers that you don't concat strings send from the user (tainted-land) and pass them to the database. As I explain why, you can clearly tell the moment they get it. At that moment, you see their life of web coding passing before their eyes.
"Jesus Christ, how many times have I done that!!"
Having done many an app assessment job in my career. I can tell you, there are many really really really important apps out there that have the SQL injection vulnerability.
I feel like those guys that designed the air traffic control system, and can bring themselves to get on a plane.
(P.S. Yah the password SQL was a bad exapmle. Everyone MD5's their passwords anyway, and you would never WHERE on just the pwd, you need the username too. Meeya Gulpa)
Aside from that, it don't matter which of the "four fundamental forces of nature" you harness, there ain't no cheating the laws of thermodynamics
What if one of those forces is the power of prayer? What if the motor called upon Him to produceth wattage? He is omnicient, which means "All Powerfull"
Just because George Washingon put Newton's 10 laws of Thermodynamics into the Constitution doesn't mean he has to obey them.
Grandparent poster referred to "the US", your statistics refer the the US Federal Government.
Contributions to charities by the US private sector are 2% of the US GDP, which far surpasses any other nation. Most of that goes to foreign aid.
Bill Gates and Ted Turner alone surpass most countries with the billions they've spent on health care for poor countries...and none of that money is counted in your very misleading stats.
Note that your article is dated 1999. Microsoft no longer grants options to employees, it grants actual shares, and it lists those grants in it's balance sheet.
Anyway, it's kind of physically impossible for granted options to spell doom for a company, since the instruments become unusable if the company's stock falls below the strike price. For the options to be a liability, the company has to be doing well.
Indeed, the main reason they switched to granting shares is that many employees were grumbling that their options are already worthless, having been granted during the heydey times of a few years ago.
You mean like when the Viking probe was sent to Mars with a test for life, and the result was yes, there is life on Mars? They'll simply say, "The test was broken. It must be broken becuase the result was wrong".
My roommate worked for the Dept of Interior. He was always amazed at how the home network I had set up for us always 'just worked'. He said 'the internet' at work would go down at least once a week, and always on Monday morning.
He brought me to work for a party once, I was amazed that everyone had a sweet computer with a big LCD monitor. The offices were huge so they didn't need LCD for the space. When I commented at how lucky they were he said "Actually the made us turn them all off becuase they aren't good enough". I was puzzled by that but didn't ask further, I was there for the free food and beer coutesy of my federal tax dollars.
BTW, they ran a mirror under our car going in, but I was never asked for ID.

Has it got the units right on that one? ... IANAEE, so maybe its correct, but their going to refine it,
Does it have gotten the grammer right on this one? One did has gotten the right and was well goodlyness that was be well.
He isn't accusing MS of stealing the TCP/IP protocol, he's accusing them of stealing the acutal BSD TCP/IP stack code.
1) It is not part of CS curriculum so students never hear of it Unfortunately, That goes for concepts like "design" and "requirements" too.
That's because design and requirements are not part of computer science, they are part of software engineering.
Evolution IS a theory, and not a fact
Evolution is a theory and a fact.
The court opinion stated that they had no problem with stating that evolution is a "theory", using the scientific definition of "theory". But, in stating that evolution it is "not a fact", they are invoking the popular definition of "theory", which means "speculation".

Yajul has all the the little things you normally have to write and test yourself.
It has lots of obvious classes that you'd almost expect in the JDK like TeeOutputStream, ByteCountingOutputStream, Cache, and StringUtil.
Parent poster listed the wrong price, it's actually $35000 AUD. To buy the same thing in the US would be $25000 USD. (using purchasing power parity).
An 8% loan would be $463 USD per month.
You can rent a decent house in most areas of the US for less than that.

Far more disturbing is the fact that the hand holding the player is clearly a man's hand, an the other a woman's.
As these cars get more and more advanced its getting harder for doityourselfers to even attempt to modify or maintian them
Yet, somehow it becomes easier to build/mod your own computer as they become more advanced.
Too bad there isn't some 'Personal Car' platform.
We currently have fairly easily customizable tires, exhaust, audio, glass, and various 'case mods'.
What we need is user-interchangable chasis, engine, drive train, cab. That'd be cool.
I must know...you're joking right?
What's that song that goes, like, A# G# F F F and then an A7 chord?
Behold Classical Music Search
I'm afraid there is no classical song that goes A# G# F F F, followed by anything from A7.

Please note, there are no laugh tracks in any of the above shows
Not yet. Anyone remember when Comedy Central picked up "Sports Night" and added a laugh track to it? It was downright creepy.
Imagine someone taking your favorite drama, and adding a laugh track to the 'funny' parts.
Bones: "Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a cement mixer!"
[laughter]
Cipher: "I don't even see the codes anymore, just blonde..brunette"
[laughter]
Luke: "More than you can imagine"
Han: "I can imagine a lot"
[laughter]
they start firing things back at us?
Bah! They're going to throw rice at us? Tell me where so I can go watch.
...testing a genetically modified ... creeping ... resistant to killing ... fear that ... if it was to escape ... we wouldn't know how to control it
Shouldn't this be in the games section?

Which means performing the test was meaningless.
That's what turned me off of the various Trek series; they invented fake science to solve fake scientific problems
You misspelled 'fiction'.

And double funny that the journalist didn't, you know, do some research and figure this out for himself.
