Linux can run on any device that has a C compiler. It wouldn't surprise me if a machine designed by the ancient Greeks could compile C, because it's one of the ancient languages.
Here are the stellar orbits around the hole: http://www.mpe.mpg.de/ir/GC/index.php
The star closest to it (S2) approaches it at a distance of 3-4 Neptune orbit radii IIRC. I seem to remember once calculating the g force experienced by the star and getting something close to the moon's surface gravity, but that was when the hole was 2.6 Msun.
"What about readable documented code that increases the battery life from 7 hours to 9, avoiding the need for a mid-workday battery swap?"
I always document my code well. The CPU executes all the long well-written comment sections very quickly and efficiently, especially in terms of watt-hours per line of source code.
Sometimes I comment out all my source files to get more life out of my battery.
A Turing machine can do this. The machine rewinds the tape that anyone can edit until it detects the beginning of the crap
"The bubble sort is the slowest sort, total fail lol"
where the state register symbol is set to ^V and the machine begins writing the Knuth material one character at a time back onto the tape anyone can edit. Then the machine resets the state register and reenters its default state.
must not code fast enough.. Real programs only spend two hours a day programming.. then rest is spent sleeping, getting coffee, or posting on/.</quote>
No, no, no. First you get invited into the apartment of one of your six girlfriends after a date to get the coffee. Then you do the sleeping, only you do it with someone.
This is actually of some interest to me and my coworkers. We work at a game company where you drive a car around a city and hit other cars and shoot people and pick up hookers.
Or at least you used to be able to pick up hookers. Management said there were too many complaints and told us to take out the hookers to protect the children or something. So we released the current version with ugly hookers and you can't pick them up; the old controller button doesn't even work anymore. That made our bosses happy enough and the ugly hookers got to stay.
Well we think this sucks and me and my buddies want to implement a clean room version of this game that is merely inspired by it, and where you can pick up hot looking hookers again. We wouldn't be taking any code over with us, and we figure that we're providing functionality that our old employer is not offering (being able to pick up hookers).
One of the core protections in the US legal system is that you cannot be made to testify against a close relative.
Fifth Amendment objections are besides the point here. There are serious objections to be made to this that are based on the Fourth Amendment. It's as if we were to tap the phones of everyone with a relative in jail. The people have a right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures. I think that includes DNA.
do they really need a 120v outlet in their prison cell so they can charge their mobile phone?
No, but they may need a 120v outlet for an electric shaver or something, although we could give them razor blades.
This sentiment is very common- always striving to make prison even more hellish than it might be now. Every so often voters and politicians increase the rate at which prisons are packed in order to express their disapproval of crime. The average American is much more likely to be in prison than citizens of most countries. And we always think of new ways to try to make people in there miserable, like feeding them nothing but Nutraloaf. The U.S. is moving toward a planned economy where everyone is in prison getting PTSD and having all their needs taken care of by the state. Plus the banks are nationalized.

Screw you guys. Two of my friends died there.
One in each hole.
>Does changing the heat flow of the Earth on a scale that will peturb plate techtonics sound like a safe idea to anyone?
It sounds awesome. I could walk to Vladivostok from Wasilla.
Unfortunately for a couple days at a time you can't really put your junk into a volcano because that pyroplastic flow is too heavy.
> He still has not releases his college records and birth certificate.
He still hasn't releases those things? I had thinks he had pledges to exposes or explains them. I wouldn't have votes for him otherwise.
What if he never wents to college? Or wasn't even borns?
I know, every time I call tech support the guy is saying "there" and not "their", except when he's supposed to say "their", then he says "there".
And those apostrophes they put in "its" are really annoying too. A misplaced apostrophe sounds like nails going down a chalkboard.
Anyway, those are my two principle complaints.
Oh yeah? Well here's a pic for you.

thanks but no thanks for that pair of eyeglasses
I said "thanks but no thanks" to those naked pictures of Sarah Palin that I found on my Blackberry.

Although now that the story has finally appeared here, its comment section is all dumb jokes.

People think the Mafia is just one big criminal organization... but there's so much *more* to it than that.
I say use metallic sodium. Cheap, conductive, and resistant to theft.

Oh, I forgot to mention that none of them will work.
But don't worry guys, they're going to come out with a new class of bailout drugs for you guys, like Paulsonex, and Philgramma, and Greenspanitol.

It was a prime number of Hitlers.
Just keep watching for prime numbers and bad sitcoms with aliens in them.
I recommend Shawn Fanning.

I care more about unoriginal sin. Original sin is not committed while holding the presidency.
