or skip mod entirely. have 'next_three' and 'next_five' vars, initialize to 0 or 3/5 as appropriate, if your index matches one or both print the appropriate output and update the values.
Probably the same as getting an AOL/Quicken CD, or a telephone. You can keep the CD/check/phone if you want. Sit it on a shelf, frame it, no worries. _Using_ it may require you to do other things (create an account, pay for a licensing key, get landline service), which may cost money.
The reason containment vessels are so large in current reactors is that they're using high-pressure high-temperature water to move the heat around. High temperature because that's the only way to move the heat efficiently, and high pressure to keep it from becoming steam. But if there's a breach, there goes the pressure, and now you have X liters of water turning into 1500X cubic meters of steam (1 liter is 55 moles, and each mole becomes about 22.7 cubic meters of vapor). So you need a lot of room for the steam to expand into. If you're using something that doesn't vaporize at the working temperature (molten salt, for example) then you don't need that much expansion room.
A good actuary will tell you there's not enough performance history on these new designs to make predictions... which is why the insurers won't offer policies. They know better than to place bets without knowing the odds.
Ah, sociological predictions. That's a good point, but is that really a prediction from the religion, or is it a prediction from a religious authority who's also a social scientist? It seems likely that anyone who can successfully become Pope (or even just a Cardinal) must be a good observer of human nature.
Really? The only predictions I know of from most religions are what's going to happen after you die, and those are difficult at best to test. Can you give some examples?
Certainly, you can describe anything with equations, and you can come up with multiple mathematical descriptions that match what you know. But they'll make different predictions, which can be tested, and that's where the value of generating a mathematical description is. If you're not looking for predictions you can just say "that's the way it is," skip the math, and move on to something else.
City of London is not the same as London; it's a ~1 square mile chunk of business district. It hosts a number of large companies, which have voting rights. Their government has a particularly business-centric point of view, as a result.
That it does. It irks me that as far as I can tell, almost nothing written during the life of my parents will be public domain during my own life, particularly including a lot of the stuff I read as a kid (because it makes it hard for me to find copies; only one company has the rights to reprint it and they don't want to). But that's not a big hindrance to most companies' business plans.
and (as someone mentioned) you also have to consider whether that 1.1kWh is all reaching the battery or if some of it is losses in the charging system. That is one big-ass wall wart, after all.
Hmmm. That's an interesting factoid. I should put my cablebox on the Kill-a-watt. (Though I'm not sure what I'd do about it, aside from gripe; the cable box is one of the few things not on the timed powerstrip, because it might need to record something in the middle of the night.)
'Sorting a list' should not be patentable; it's an idea, not a method. 'Sorting a list using bubblesort' is a method, but patenting it should not prevent someone else from sorting a list using quicksort.
copyright hasn't hindered anyone with deep enough pockets yet, in part because copyright (unlike patents) doesn't prevent you from writing your own thing that does X.
This is one of my main issues with Python. It still creeps me out that the standard loop termination method is an exception. But it sounds like they've optimized that path enough to not hurt.
Indeed, logic fail. I'm stating that humans have rights even when they don't have authority or responsibility. This does not imply that they ever don't have rights.
The addresses which you are supposed to be using as source addresses on outgoing internet-routed packets have a common prefix, assigned by your provider. Addresses not in that block that you are likely to use are private blocks (not to be routed on the internet), link-local addresses (not generally meant to be routed at all), and multicast addresses (to be used as destination addrs, not source).

This is the _other_ allspark, needed to kick off three or four more movies.
Win the lottery and get a good law firm on retainer.

Sorry, units error. 1500X liters of steam, or 1.5 cubic meters.
The reason containment vessels are so large in current reactors is that they're using high-pressure high-temperature water to move the heat around.

I can see your point, but as long as it makes predictions I'm willing to keep it in a separate category.

Hi, your dishwasher's design infringes on my patent, and you're using it, so you personally are in violation. Give me 5 thousand dollars.
This is one of my main issues with Python. It still creeps me out that the standard loop termination method is an exception. But it sounds like they've optimized that path enough to not hurt.
The design isn't that far along yet. So far it's just "these are the features we want to introduce".
Yep. The guardian gets the responsibility, and the authority that goes with it. The baby still has the rights.
Indeed, logic fail. I'm stating that humans have rights even when they don't have authority or responsibility. This does not imply that they ever don't have rights.
The converse of responsibility is not 'rights', it's 'authority'. A newborn has no responsibility or authority but does have rights.
Hmmm. Maybe the prison industry should be backing this too; they can take over the zoo industry and increase revenue.
