Ive switched from coffee to green tea. It is a hell of a lot healthier. Just have a look at this study: for men, 12% lower risk of dying from any cause, 22% lower risk of dying from CVD, 42% lower risk of dying from stroke. Its even better for women.
The problem is that due to floating point inaccuracies, log10(1000) is actually 2.999999999 and not exactly 3. It is rounded and shown as 3, but when you truncate it, you get 2.
I once stumbled upon a paper that analyzed rat eating behaviour. They basically change their food source only rarely, and tend to eat whatever they smell other rats are eating. This behavior has lots of advantages. Since they only switch food source when they have to, they seldom eat something poisonous. Since they switch to food they smell other rats have eaten, it is unlikely that the other food is poisonous because otherwise the other rat would have been dead. This is an extremely robust behavior, and I am sure it can be used in some form as a swarming algorithm, much like ant colony or particle swarm.
a little bash trick everybody should know: Almost every time I type a command I press Ctrl+R before I type it. This way you can use search on typing on the command history. For it to be really usable you can set the history file size HISTFILESIZE to a large number.
Here in austria we had live commentatory on TV and on online newspapers. Many people stayed up from until 5 o'clock in the morning (your election was in the middle of the night for us here) To watch this event happening. It was a huge thing, congratulations!
You just can't say these words on america tv/radio. I remember an interview here in Austria of some American singer that went something like this:
Singer:... and he was really fucked up. Oh my god I said the f word! Moderator: Ha, we can say here whatever we want. Fuck Shit fuck shit fuck fuck. Its really cool. Singer: ffffucking awesome!
What's interesting is that maps of the world have a quite good relation to where the locations really are. There are some projection methods which are good enough to put the information on a 2D map. The problem is that this is not possible or very difficult for other information like all your documents on your harddisk. Tree structures don't work very well because its impossible to find one single tree where everything fits nicely into just one section. Tagging and search is usually better but its also not the holy grail.
IE 8 is a major revision. FF 3.1 is a minor revision.
So? FF 3.1 is a hell of a lot faster than 3.0. Revision numbers mean absolutely nothing, especially when you compare two products by two different organizations...
Spacesuits operate in vacuum, which means there are almost no no particles around, so the word temperature does not make much sense there. Vacuum is an excellent insulator, so it is easy to keep them warm. It is a myth that you instantly freeze when exposed to the vacuum of space.
"For those of you who haven yet heard of the N-Prize, the N-Prize is a 12.67 (euro) cash prize (or half a liter of petrol) which can be claimed by any individual, or group, who are able to prove that they have put into orbit a small satellite. The satellite must weigh between 9.99 and 19.99 grams, and must orbit the Earth at least 9 times. This project must be done within a budget of 1.267 (euro) or 20 drops of petrol."
This car analogy with SIM locks etc. is completely and utterly wrong. SIM locks and vender lock-in is like having a car that can only drive on roads produced by Nokia. Its absolutely necessary that we have an open standard for roads so that everybody is free to go wherever he likes. The same argument holds for cell phones, the only problem is that we are already so used to this SIM locks that nobody finds it as offending as it really is.
IM combines the advantages of telephones with the advantages from emails. You are instantly available if you choose, but you don't have to and can reply whenever you want.
You can partly blame the government for it, because their food pyramid is complete and utter nonsense, because basically it was made by the food companies. Just a few days ago Haward released a food pyramid that is not driven by big business:
Its not a trend, it is something developers have been doing for a long time. We have a build system here that automatically compiles and runs unit tests, and when something fails the developers gets an email. We try to automate as much as possible, so we also have several static code analysis tools like PMD, Findbugs, Checkstyle installed. All of them are not perfect, but they all detect at least some problems; its better than nothing. It is also important that these tools can be switched off so that they don't get annoying. PMD does this very nicely, you can disable checks on a method based granularity with a simple annotation at places where appropriate.

moral of the story: Don't use trunc.
Next to nothing times 10^42 can be pretty large. E.g. the plank length, smallest measurement of length with any meaning, times 10^42 is over 16000 km.
amazingly you find tourists everywhere. It would have been both realistic and fun to add fat people with hawaii shirt white socks and sandals.
kthxbye

I have no idea how this can happen.
PS: Thanks for 3 GB of RAM.
raw numbers are irrelevant! Canonical is self sustaining! this is like a car that can produce enough fuel on its own to continue driving.
This is the same company that has stolen the 9rules logo. Compare it yourself here.

Of course that sounds obvious, but it sounds too easy; therefore it must be exactly what they want us to do!
Linux has always tried to be an excellent choice for a very broad range of uses. Just because you do not need fast boots does not nobody else does.

Copy from one, it's plagiarism; copy from many, it's research.
Here is a translation for Europeans:

Looks like the Brits finally have acknowledged that 42 is the answer to everything.

*That* is how the food pyramid should have looked like from the start. More information here.

I don't like the "if applicable" at the end of this sentence. Who decides, and based on what reasons?
