My clause does save "that may be of benefit to the company" and it;s life insurance so I guess they might not be interested if I worked on, say, Gnutella. I do plan on taking the clause with a large pinch of NaCl
A lot of job contracts now have the clause about any software developed in your own time still belongs to the company. Mine does, I couldn't get rid of it either. The job market the way it is, it's either sign the contract or we'll give the job to one of the next 100 people in the queue...
That depends on your belief system. If you happen to follow teachings of the Old Testament, then marriage is commanded if you want to enjoy female pleasures:)
If you don't then yeas, you're right, it's tradition.
I'm also pretty clueful in the psychology of our species, and I can tell you that any relationship would be jeoprodized by the tact you suggest.
Aha.... I'm not married to a stereotypical woman. We've survived 21 years of marriage without a diamond ring, therefore yiour theory is wrong. Perhaps if you changed the word "any" to "some" it would be ok.
I gues syou copuld be right, I saw the phrase "central living room" and envisioned the cells placed around the room's perimiter. Though I would suspect that the light may show through the cracks between the door and the doorframes ??
As with all these puzzles, you have to make assumtions... (1) All the inmates can see the bulb. (2) They can all count and remeber the count (3) They will all witness each state change (4) The next guy only flips teh switch if he has never done so before
so, whenever the light goes on, or off, they add 1 to their counter. When it gets to 100, they're free.

Skipping forward through a live broadcast is impressive!

I know what you're meaning tho, just struck me as amusing

what the hell sort of word is "vehiculates"???
It amuses me that NASA has to invent fancy new words when there's perfectly good word that will do the job - "TRANSPORTS".
I guess it makes them sound important or something.
vehiculates - I bet that one isn't in the OED!
It's "a lot" - TWO words.
No you don't loose your right, you LOSE your right, loose means something entirely different.
Man, is that nigerian site hard to read. a crappy font, in yellow on black. It sucks!
You've not been here long have you - comment posters rarely read the articles!!!
one doesn't loose an eye, but it IS possible to lose an eye...
LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOOSE AND LOSE!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sheeeesh.
The words are spelt "Ridiculous" and "Ludicrous"
Why do geeks have so much trouble spelling these two words?
Other pet hates include confusing "your" and "you're", and "loose" and "lose"...
so he tests the line and it's dead. 5 minutes later the homeowner starts producing excess power and feeds it back into the grid. Bang!
How do you turn off browser initiated popups in IE without disabling javaScript altogether?
That one feature alone is important enough for me to warrant switching from IE to Moz.
Depends which country you're in dude. Some of us drive on the left, with right lanes being the overtaking ones...

Interesting puzzle!
Yes, he will always show you a door with the goat - why would he show you the door with the prize? You've lost anyway then!
quite right, It's been a long day.
There's excellent explanations of why it's correct to switch here and here
The assumtion is that you're ALWAYS shown a goat and asked if you want to switch. It's a logic puzle!
One - buy one from the machine labelled as "random" - if that gives you a coke, then the machine labelled coke gives pepsi and the 3rd is random.
If it gives a pepsi, then the one labelled pepsi gives cokes and the other is random.
Your odds have improved to 50/50 from 33/67. i.e. your first choice is probably wrong. so you're better off switching.
Actually, the Mail is correct.
By switching, you are GUARANTEEING odds of 50/50. By not switching, your odds are still 33/67
If you don't beleive me, write a program to simulate it... Proof of the pudding....
This is an old Mensa puzzle and was discussed endlessly in the noew defunct Mensa forum on Compuserve
As with all these puzzles, you have to make assumtions...
(1) All the inmates can see the bulb.
(2) They can all count and remeber the count
(3) They will all witness each state change
(4) The next guy only flips teh switch if he has never done so before

Going back to line two, we now know the yellow ball is the one triggering the white peg (right color, wrong position).
nope. There's a yellow in 2 AND 3, lite blue is triggereing the white in line 2
So, how come the solution is Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Light Blue (left to right) ???
