New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 5.4M
New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 5-10
New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 1M (also not 1.1M, nor 1.2M, nor 1.3M)
I mean really, all that changed here was our estimate. The number of species didn't suddenly change; this revision of estimate didn't suddenly eliminate 24M+ species.
I find it odd they'd file (intelligent) design of things under Ancient History, rather than Engineering. It's true that people designed things long ago, but they still do, at least at some companies. Anyway, it's good they're specifically teaching an important skill like intelligent design, as this is often neglected in engineering.
Agreed; with the iPhone, I am assured a predictable drain on my wallet, rather than like this with unexpected spikes. Much easier to budget for the iPhone.
Yeah, hooray for a compiler that can be developed with fewer resources, this freeing more for improving its performance or correctness. Seriously, you can start with some C code and carefully make use of just a few C++ features in order to improve the code (easier to maintain, improve performance without hurting maintainability much, etc.). Read that last sentence carefully; I did not mention any particular C++ features. I regularly use a subset of C++ and avoid the downsides people regularly talk about and that I see in "extreme C++" code.
May it's time for pro gameing to go the same way like the NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL and others.
You mean for Electronic Arts to make an endless series of games year after year? I can see it now, EA South Korean Pro Gamer 2011. I doubt they'd make it, though, since you know some people would release mods of it that turn it into EA EA 100 Hour-A-Week Programmer 2011, as the scenarios are probably really similar.
It's like amateur gamers I know, except without the cleaning and laundry.
That's why they're professionals and the gamers you know are mere amateurs. It takes years to master the art of cleaning and laundry to level 50 or higher.
Who wants to be using mainstream cures? I'm an alternative type of person, and prefer the fringe! Even when it doesn't work and the mainstream stuff works great.
"Our fondest wish is that all the devices become agnostic so that there isn't proprietary formats and you can read wherever you want to read. First we have to get a standard that everybody embraces."
"Oh, and don't get me wrong, we already have good standards, but they don't suck enough. By that I mean they don't arbitrarily restrict our readers in stupid ways. I long for the day we have a universal sucky e-book format."
Yeah, the problem with plants is that there is also merit to putting random substance in your mouth, wherever it came from. Some subtances have beneficial effects, so you can't dismiss it. At this point I don't believe any claims made about all-natural from the garden of Eden plant substances unless there is a study I can read. I think most claims are just repeated from what they heard from yet another person, who was doing the same thing, or like those cellphone antenna booster stickers, from people who used the substance and either imaged beneficial effects, or attributed their improvement to the substance even though there were many other possible explanations.
It's not censorship when we do it; it's making things better. It's only censorship when someone else wants to ban something we consider OK. Get with the program, man.
I think it also includes a checksum with each block, so that it can choose the one that was received correctly. A long time ago I wanted to reduce the size of TI 99/4A cassette saves on my computer. I had simply digitized them, but they were big (this was around 1995, mind you). So I looked at the waveforms and found a compact way to encode them. By chance, my format matched the bytes and I could see the text of the data I was saving. I noticed that every block was repeated twice, as you can easily hear if you listen to the recordings.

Seeing if anybody had parodied this, I came across something from a few months ago that's related (NSFW!): Fonts got feelings too.
Some alternate headlines:
New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 5.4M
New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 5-10
New estimate suggests 5.5M species on Earth, not 1M (also not 1.1M, nor 1.2M, nor 1.3M)

Here's my inforeply to you: it's a low-entropy ("cool") term.

Notice they said "details". Not "all information", just the details. As to what is a detail and what is not, the devil is in that.

By giving in, the people who committed suicide are getting exactly what they wanted, and will do this the next time they want a pay raise. Oh, wait...

So Neo wasn't such a tough guy after all, with all those pins in his muscles in the first movie! He was just enjoying natural painkillers.
I don't see their Feedback(tm) product listed anywhere. Maybe it's still in beta.
You're right, we should just do out mailing lists without an internet connection. The post office would love that.

You left out an "etc". You're supposed to put four in a row.
Liability caps, haha. I wonder how BP would respond if the government had trouble capping liability, and it just kept increasing uncontrollably...
The ultimate sentence is "Even opening a PDF makes me nervous!"
How is it a game if it's played for some value beyond having fun? I'd call that work, or edutainment.
Research also shows that people are more apt to give muggers with guns money, than someone merely asking for spare change.
You don't sell things on Craigslist; you simply find buyers, meet, and sell it on your front porch (or somewhere in public).

Sorry, your names fail because they don't have the word "top" in them. Top hat, top kill... maybe top top is next.
