There is of course the frequent practice of teachers speaking (thus discriminating the deaf) and sometimes even pointing at things (which is highly insensitive to those without arms)
And don't get me started about some teachers _teaching_, discriminating those of us, who are stupid and lazy.
As for "computer engineers are most likely to crash"... correlation does not imply causation
So what? This is insurance, not science. They are not trying to create a grand unified theory of car crash probability, they just want to predict the probability of any given driver crashing. Correlation is good enough for that.
That is, if you spill a glass of water (anywhere in the house), or just bring a glass (maybe even empty, but this has not been tested), the keyboard dies.
One-way mirrors are just mirrors that let some of the light through ---the thing that makes them one-way is there being much more light on one side. This might not work when it's dark outside.
I know this is off-topic, but I would presume that the right lavatory is picked based on your sex (that is, whether you have a penis or a vagina, in the unlikely case you have both, just flip a coin), not gender. This is actually quite simple.
Sorry, guess I'm being unclear. What I meant was that the guy who claimed that a mass-produced automobile is not art has probably never seen a Miata. Or a 911. Or an E-type. Or...
Sorry, I have misparsed your statement and almost went on an you-dumb-american-you-are-so-spoiled-you-do-not-know-barely-making-ends-meet-means-you-should-spend-some-time-here-in-central-europe rant.

Wartburg (east germany 2-tact car from cold-war era) had a special leaver for driving downhills, so you wouldn't burn your clutch.
Nothing to do with the clutch. A 2-stroke engine needs fuel for lubrication, engine braking would lead to the engine breaking (sorry).
The lever (under the steering wheel, IIRC) was used to turn the freewheel off when parking in winter so the car would not run away (the handbrake was useless as it tended to freeze).
There are two Alan Coxes (the Linux one and the FreeBSD one), is this some kind of a pattern? Coxes always come in pairs? Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Coxes?

Instant apocalypse. Has to be run by root, of course.

Actually, I _insist_ on monitoring myself while driving.

You know, the word ``fascist'' has a specific meaning. Using it to describe anyone you don't like is stupid (and _not_ fascist).
Now if we could just get them all to Albert Hall...

Really, just try it. And then buy a real laptop.
Sheez, driver over to Bielefeld once in a while. I live there
No, you don't: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_conspiracy

Yes, but it _does_ make him wrong (Or, at least, it makes me think he is wrong, asi I would not hold an opinion that I think is wrong, right?).
There is no vast conspiracy, it's just a bunch of people each being wrong on their own.

Unless the private key is protected by a passphrase, preferably one that is not easily bruteforced.
And if you notice your laptop was stolen (this should not be very hard), make a new key (and remove the old one from your servers).
I agree with your point, thingh not with the example you gave.
Incidentally, quicksort _is_ easily parallelizable:
qsort([]) -> []; % of course
qsort([P | A ]) ->
A1 = [ X || X = P ],
P = self(),
spawn(fun() -> P ! {a1, qsort(A1)} end ),
spawn(fun() -> P ! {a2, qsort(A2)} end ),
A1sorted = receive
{ a1, A1s } -> A1s
end,
A2sorted = receive
{ a2, A2s } -> A2s
end,
A1 ++ [ P ] ++ A2.
I am sending lots of large messages, so this might be slow, but you could do this in place, just sending bounds of the intervals to be sorted.

That's interesting, the first thing that came to my mind when reading the post was that he's obviously never seen a Miata.
HAL? If they decide to port Vista to HAL9000, we're all gonna DIE.
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

Barely making ends meet means you do _not_ spend any money in restaurants, bars and liquor stores.

the Miata probably has an added advantage of being able to pass under larger SUVs.
Now if I persuade my neighbours to buy a Hummer, I can park under it (with the roof down, even).
Never invest in something that violates a conservation law.

That would be Bruce Schneier.
Sure: Germans have created a variant of sed, that operates on DNA and used it to delete HIV.
