Not sure if they are connected but they used to send real mail to try and trap people into renewing/transferring with them. So it only takes 14+ years for ICANN to do something?
I know, motherfuckers act like they forgot about DRA.
Uh, yeah, we can measure -1. The charge of an electron. The distance along the x-axis that I travel when I walk one meter west. The effect on a wave when it encounters an identical one 180 degrees out of phase.
And if negative numbers worry you, this will blow your mind: by all indications, the way things really work, at the quantum level, is unavoidably governed by complex numbers. Don't let that "imaginary" label fool you...those bastards are really real, too. Sorry.
In all the ways that really matter (fiscal policy, economic policy, regulation, law enforcement, etc...), the candidates are identical.
I think you've taken a valid point and stretched it a little far here. If we'd had eight years of Gore starting in 2000, do you think Iraq would have played out exactly the same? If we were on our way to eight years of McCain starting in 2008, do you think the trends in health insurance would be what they are?
Whether you approve or disapprove, you have to agree they'd have been different.
It's still a shitty comparison. The whole point is to give the reader an intuitive sense of an otherwise unimaginable quantity. It should be a red flag when you've replaced the number 500 with 40,000.
Obviously it's a long-time average. The chance of deviating from 50% by any given amount goes to zero as the number of trials becomes arbitrarily large. The summary doesn't spell this out in iron-clad logic, but anyone who spends time thinking about math, stats, or especially game theory knows the score.
Saved me from writing the same thing. The GPS code I've seen, written by engineers and not programmers, was an incredibly hacked-together, barely-functional set of kludges to implement a lot of very elegant mathematics.
Yeah. If you want elegance, you should probably just go straight to the math. As soon as you put it into a computer with its pesky limitations of finite time and space, elegance goes right out the window.
As someone who got lost somewhere deep in a single sentence (which consumed three whole screen-width lines) that spent nearly 100 words on a dependent clause (which itself contained two parenthetical clauses) before even getting to the subject (I was starting to wonder if there would be one at all) I question the value of your comments on the topic of elegance...
Are you a physicist, or have you seriously studied physics, or do you have a source for that? Because I'm sure I've read numerous times about actual physicists hoping to detect gravity waves from merging black holes.

You're right of course. I took the AC to mean that negative quantities don't exist objectively, which is a different issue. I may have misunderstood.

Put down the Left Behind novels and step slowly away.

in fact some are trying to say that no cooking is allowed to make me go out and blow all my dough on restaurants
Are you sure this isn't total bullshit?
I can't take anything seriously after that.
I think you can fit at least two more commas in there.

I was unsure about this, too, but now I know it's about 1/40,000 of a 500 mile road trip. Thanks, Slashdot!
I don't think the text of the Aereo ruling was "nobody is allowed to use loopholes anymore."
Me too. I hope it hurts.
I did. Happiest thought I've had all year.
Did they do it with one weird trick discovered by a mom?
And your orthography is original.
That is so obviously not what the GP meant.
Or you could just knock him out and take his wallet, amirite? Stupid eggheads with their book-learnin'.

Meant to mod parent funny, misclicked "overrated", posting to undo.
Parent and GGP are right, and GP is mistaken, as TFS clearly states. The issue is "a new earned-incentives and privileges scheme", i.e., control.
I suspect he meant "consistent".

Can I get this in a Car analogy?
I guess it would be like driving a Chevy Lumia van.
