Wouldn't it be better if citizen-scientists concentrated in improving and expanding wikipedia articles on animals? Because the elephant population has, in fact, _NOT_ tripled the past few years.
I believe what you should be searching for is "faint young sun", and I learned about it in my introductory astronomy class so it's not just made up. The sun had about 70% of its current output back then.
So you're saying the guy owning the property should be allowed to keep the property, and then build his part of the railroad. After that he'll charge what ever the market can bear in toll?
The difference is, you rapidly click _one_ or possibly two keys multiple times, instead of multiple keys ones or twice. Should be obvious what is faster and easier to get used to, especially when it decides to predict quite long combinations after inputing just one kana.
And there is no need for a timeout for inputing "tachitai", what kind of half-assed phone have you been trying out?... And if i really like telling people "I want to stand" a lot, it will be in my list of predictions for "ta" after one time writing it.
As someone who actually uses Japanese predictive text type input on both PC and phones, I'd say it is much easier than english.
The thing about japanese, is that you can represent much more information in a compact way and it is easier to predict what kind of words/structure come next. If I'd like to say "I don't want to go to a maid cafe today.", it would be written as "kyou MEIDOKAFUe ni ikitakunai".
The first word you'll get immediately by typing in the "ki" kana, since "ki" in the start of a sentence is very often kyou (today), kinou (yesterday), etc.
"MEIDOKAFEe" might be a rather rare in general use, but since I got a mail from a japanese girl inviting me to a maid cafe, it just requires you to type "me" and "i", plus "ka" since it gets split in to words the first time.
The particle "ni" is amongst the top 8 you can select right after entering any word that seems to expect a particle next.
"ikitakunai" you can write by using "i" to get "iki" with kanji. "takunai" is a pretty standard ending meaning you don't want to do something, and might be on the top of the list already. If it isn't, just typing "ta" will give you that option.
Current phones also make it so that you can navigate the list of words both horizontally and vertically, which makes it even faster.
That's not really how japanese messages look like. They have predictive and self-learning writing aid for completing words and kanjis, so they might just write "ka" and it will automatically give you a selection so you can instantly select "carburator".
Nope. Erase on a map invalidates only the iterators pointing at the erased item. Such is true for all associative containers in C++. You're thinking about vectors.
Actually, std::vector::erase invalidates all iterators _after_ the iterator being erased. When you erase an iterator != end(), it will just move either the next or end to the position pointed by the current iterator. The vector container doesn't change the reserved size on erase.
This is easy to see if you know stuff about data structures _and_ have a good grasp of the workings of STL. (And make sure you check that your supposition is correct in a reference work)
If you really were 50 assignments ahead, you'd be spending an hour a week doing the assignments and the rest of the time sleeping at the lectures and/or working on your own stuff. Besides, you should already be overworked from all those other classes to care about the introductory class only requiring token effort on your part?
Java might be a good starter language... But he's writing about languages taught at introductory Computer Science classes.
The first is something you learn when you're a kid and want the computer to do cool stuff. When you want to become a real programmer, or a computer scientist, you don't do 'good starter languages' no more than you do 'good starter math'. Learning calculus sucks.
So are you saying that keeping the military in a state where it must funnel money to corporate interests is a _good_ thing?
If the military stopped using MS software all together, it would remove Microsoft as an entity who would gain by increased military expenditure. Thank you for promoting the military-industrial complex.
There are typically far more rabid fans of japanese cartoons willing to wage a wikiwar, than there are rabid fans of math proofs.
Obviously you haven't read the accounts of what happened when the mathematicians found out the EE's were using "j" instead of "i" for imaginary numbers.
Being Republican myself, I do not like censorship, which I guess is an oddity perhaps?
It only seems like an oddity because you think a single name can sum up your political orientation, especially one that doesn't really define any. It is actually little more than the name of a football team that has a high player turnover rate.

Sorry, but there's not 5kb/s cap due to incoming ports being blocked... It's just the swarm that sucks.
I can't find any flash... Are you sure you're on the right eol.org page?

Well, if the employers can create 'unions' (read: corporations) to give themselves an advantage in the marketplace, why shouldn't the employees?
You give up bargaining powers just because many bad 'corporations' (read: unions) exist.

Not affording that 5th countach with colors matching your new luxury yacht does _NOT_ count as 'human misery'...
How will you ever manage to procreate if you keep falling asleep before you even get started?...
So the Volkswagen was designed as a cheap, mass-produced car for the common people in Germany.

Wow, _TOTALLY_ different concepts... I can't imagine how I failed to see the originality here.

It didn't say Australia, so don't complain.

Exactly... That belongs in WikiNews, under the Health section.
And only simple quantum theories should be explained, cause when the theories are too complex they are of no interest for us to understand.
So you're saying Microsoft did the impossible with Vista?
So you basically found out "red" means danger, "blinking red" means "OMG that's dangerous!!!"?
Who would have guessed...
Not only do they have beer, much of it actually rivals European beers.
