You are neglecting the possibility that the laws of physics might prohibit changes to the past so as to prevent paradoxes.
Which would make time travel impossible.
Define a change that is small enough that it will not have some large effect later (chaos theory).
For instance, kill a bee. Small change? What if that bee was destined to fly in front of a genius on a motorcycle (helmet but no face mask). No bee, no crash, genius lives!
Well sure, but once you have the chassis width, the vertical distance between the screws is moot. With metal you need to (measure or template) holes, then drill then (and if you want to get fancy, tap them).
With wood, well you just screw in the screw.
And there IS vendor specific screw spacing. With wood, who cares.
What possible purpose is served by the blue curly arrow?
It tells you that the master database you are viewing (your mail in the case) has new/modified records. Over a slow link you may want to WAIT before refreshing your replica.
If you wait long enough, the replica WILL be refreshed automatically. You can set the time period in your replica settings.
BTW, I learned this in self defense. I also HATE Lotus Notes as an email client.
There is a difference between business overhead (electricity, salaries, that Christmas lunch) and work provided to you.
If I go to a brick and mortar business to buy something they will not charge me for shipping.
If I order something from their cataloque (using a phone, store front counter, etc) they WILL charge me for shipping. If I order through a Web page, then they will charge me for shipping. This is over and above the normal overhead costs.
To do comparisons, click around, create a shopping cart, see the totals, print it, then cancel the order. Repeat as you wish, then do the comparisons.
That way you are comparing apples to apples not apples to Windows.....
There are companies who are selling PC's without floppy drives. You get a CD-ROM and that is it.
Copying floppies is a slow process. You actually need to write to the floppy. A CD can be pressed. Much faster.
Floppies consist of a bunch of parts which need to be assembled. A CD is just a disk of special plastic. CD's are cheaper.
A floppy can be accidentally erased by exposure to magnetism, a CD cannot. Much safer.
Floppies are now only good for quick and dirty transfer of small amounts of data between computers (yes I know you can span disks with compressions apps) which are not networked. For anything else, I use a CD. Heck, I even email files between computers which are next to each other (neither has a convenient connection to a shared drive, yet both are copnnect to the 'Net).
They cannot use the internet. Simply put, the definition of a "published idea" is quite murky. If I do a search on Google, then the search text is transmitted across the internet. Google then returns the results in the form of a Web page, which includes the search text. I am now looking at my idea in a Web page.
You can also get a service which displays ongoing search requests (I can't find it right now). So there is your search request displayed for the world to see.
So, is it published?

Note the quotes around extending.
If you are using the same method names to do the same functions, albet with added functionality, then in effect you ARE extending the class. Just not formally.
Moreover it could be argued that this adds to the memory footprint and to processing time, as the new class must be instantiated, then it in turn must instantiate the class it is a mimic for.

So externally you couldn't tell you were using an encapsulated object.
Isn't that like "extending" the class?
Of course you must then instantiate the extended class to use it.

Sigh....
I wish we as an industry could just STOP coming up with new names for the same old things.

I remember encapsulator was one of the early names
Hmm, I have used this, but I always called it a wrapper.
That is it wraps around another more complex class (or classes) to provide an easier (and usually with pre-defined behaviour) interface.

If you take a thick pen or something else thats the same diameter as the cork
WHAT!?
Are you drinking from a really skinny bottle?
Or are you carrying around one of those multi-color pens? You know the type that has 12+ color inks and is 1/2 inch wide.?

Just build a wooden frame. Then use #10 wood screws.
Wrap with some nice finishing wood, stain, put on varathane, and you have a nice cutom cabinet.

That would be Xerox.
Along with a GUI, drop menus, WYSIWYG editing, and just about everything else which is attributed to Windows interface innovation.

I've taken to shopping where I can get free shipping.
Which simply means that the shipping/ handling cost is hidden in the price of the item.
SOMEONE has to handle the item, and it costs money.
I would rather see the cost. I HATE hidden taxes no matter who assesses them.
It seemed like a HUGE waste of space.
In which way? The physical size of the medium?

Well ok, but what happened to versions 1 through 2002, and 2003.1 through 2003.9?
No, this was an actual service provided by a search site. I think it used javascript to constantly show what other people were searching on.
Less than that. You are not allowing for weekends, holidays, sick days, etc.
There are about 220 actual working days in a year (differences in vacation allowance).
