It's hard to make schoolchildren memorize the names of a thousand planets. So we'd probably like them to memorize the names of the more significant bodies in the solar system. Let's call those onklids to differentiate them from planets. Now we need a definition for what an onklid vs a planet is, and it probably shouldn't include pluto.
The really sad part is, you know every step of that bureaucratic process was created to correct some egregious unfair teacher firing in the past. So weep for humanity, it's chock full of evil people.
Note that I think ne is ridiculous, I would expect that to be a fractional quantity.
You have to make a slight modification if you want to find out if there are alien visitors in UFOs hanging around (add a couple of extra fractional multipliers).
My preference with these is to modify the contract AND put a condition on the acceptance. I've never been challenged on either, and I've handed in 5 such modified contracts and never been challenged about it (either about the modifications/acceptance, or after changing jobs), in spite of otherwise violating the language of the base contract.
"1. COUNTER OFFERS
If in his reply to an offer, the offeree introduces a new term or varies the terms of the offer, then that reply cannot amount to an acceptance. Instead, the reply is treated as a "counter offer", which the original offeror is free to accept or reject. A counter-offer also amounts to a rejection of the original offer which cannot then be subsequently accepted. See:
Hyde v Wrench (1840) 3 Beav 334.
"
also:
" 2. CONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE
If the offeree puts a condition in the acceptance, then it will not be binding. "
Our best evidence actually supports the earth is a she argument (e.g. probably colonized by mars microbes, surely a receptive act if ever there was one).

Indeed, the company is only committed to you when you have a contract that says so. Full time employees can get these, though you have to be pretty valuable to do it. Even then, contract is pretty much useless when the whole company goes under.
Your initial guess of $40k is probably wrong. Even in the bay area, people with no provable skills start at $30k many places. Those who then prove to have skills either get rapid raises, or they job hop ala the poster.
Nothing in your comment contradicted the claim of the parent poster.
He said : Doctors let old people die and do better financially treating the young. You said : No, longevity is longer in the UK than the US, and health care is cheaper there.
Those statements aren't in fact in any way contradictory. Treating young people better helps them live longer on average. Getting better paid for it is an added bonus. Not treating the very elderly keeps costs down and yields cheaper health care, with relatively small impact on average lifespans (and of course there's the added bonus of the lower standard of living in the UK than the US impacting costs as well).
I know this is a troll, but you'll be fine with it when I choose to speak using high intensity microwaves aimed at you?
There's a reason society needs to restrict EMF use.
The other two examples you used, I'm baffled by. I'm pretty sure we currently do allow people to do whatever they want in those categories, and most slashdotters favor the freedom to do so.
Much of this slowdown is from your growing registry. Pretty much every piece of software you have does registry ops (some do quite a lot of registry work), and those ops get slower as the registry grows. Next time things get slow, you might want to try a registry cleaner before you go through the effort of a full reinstall.
The difference would be more dramatic. To the point where no one would have to seriously consider whether the investment in a CF bulb is going to be worth the energy savings in the long run. Imagine if the CF bulb would pay for itself in one month, rather than 2-3 years.
I think you misread his idea. You don't get the patent for free, you get denied without penalty your first N rejections. I would make it a flat N regardless of company size. Larger companies have the resources to be more careful, and thus shouldn't need the protection any more than a small time operation.
Sudoku is less valid than another NP problem precisely because it is quickly solvable with a conventional computer, and therefore subject to fraud. I happen to have built a quantum computer in my garage. I'll be happy to prove that to you by solving any sudoku you send me in less than an hour.
Slashdot Mirror
Why not. It's just a word. Just invert flat and round, and the world is flat, and everybody is happy.

In summary, I hope metamods will revoke his moderating privilege for the future, since he does a bad job.
Bad mod alert: troll? Who am I trolling?
Liar and extremely effective worker.

Well, wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudoku
and sudoku.com:
http://www.sudoku.com/
Both claim that sudoku is specifically 9x9. Other sizes would be some other sudoku like game.
The claims were questionable or suspect as to true nature or quality (1b)
The scientists were unsettled in opinion (2)

I think Aaronson has unfortunately done only half his homework. A 16 qit computer can't solve that problem (not fast anyway).
And I assume we all agree it would have been a good result. There's no way he deserved an exclusive patent on the telephone given the situation.
I think you misread his idea. You don't get the patent for free, you get denied without penalty your first N rejections. I would make it a flat N regardless of company size.

I know what NP-Complete means, do you understand what problem size is?
