You're not encouraging people to injure members of a religion, and that is the key difference. There's a world of difference between:
"Religions are delusions that only ignorant people follow."
and
"We should burn down a church so they'll have nowhere to pray!"
Even in the second part, you'd have to show an intent to incite the act of arson. The arson itself would be a crime on its own, but by making it about religion, it becomes a hate crime. Your role as the inciter exposes you to persecution.
I did the same thing and BCCed a copy of the email to my home account.
I pointed out that we were looking at close to $80k in fines if we got found out, whereas we could spend about $5k to bring all the programs up to the legal level.
Putting it in writing is critical - that way they can't say, "Oh... uh, that's just Beardo. I warned him not to do that, but I guess he didn't listen."
statistically, most drivers would be better off skipping any extra insurance and using some of the money to keep an emergency fund from which to pay for unforeseen repairs.
Repairing bodywork on your car in one thing; getting bodywork done on your flesh-and-blood rig is significantly more expensive.
It's mandatory here. I pay about $1000 (one thousand) a year for my insurance. That includes an optional $2M coverage against under-insured motorists. That also includes a "new car replacement" policy so I get enough money to buy a new car of the same brand if it gets totaled.
I drive a Mazda5; it's classified as a station wagon, so the rates are a little lower. If I was driving a sports car, I'd pay more. (A sedan is more as well.)
Your driving record also changes the rates. I've had one speeding ticket since I started driving 16 years ago and have not been in an accident. I get a ~40% discount. My sister-in-law totaled a car when she was younger, and so she has to pay a ~40% premium. Her rate on the same car would be ~$3500.
If we didn't have mandatory coverage, it would be nearly impossible for me (as a young male) to get those discounts, because I would not have been able to afford insurance when I was a teenager.
First, most functionality should be in functions (or methods, depending on your language). You wouldn't put stuff inline because that's a nightmare. However, at some point, you're going to have to write code that actually performs some kind of operation upon the data.
If you called the function fast_fourier_transform() or fastFourierTransform() (depending on your coding style) it would make it a lot easier on the maintainers and cost you nothing.
No matter what you called it, you'd still have to document the transforming function so that if you'd made a mistake in it, the next person looking at the code would be able to say, "oh, hey, this is supposed to be multiplied by -1 here"
In Canada, it would not be acceptable - instantaneous communication* is not considered a legal form of communication. I'm sure it would fail in the US as well.
*fax, email, IM, etc.
I'll pretend to be a lawyer. Everyone here owes me $1000.
I once wrote a coder / decoder for control messages for a radio system.
The code itself was about 30 lines. With comments explaining WTF was going on, it was about 150. There were backsteps, cycling through arrays, multiple search trees, etc. Part of the comments included basic theory on the decoding mechanism.
There was no way good variable names or "self-explanatory" code would have worked there.
That's a good idea. Although this coding horror post is about a year old, it's a note on how much anti-virus software slows down your machine. Norton leads the pack with an amazing 46% slower boot, 20% slower CPU, and 2400% slower disk access time.

All politicians are liars and crooks.
I choose the party that's going to steal for me.
Don't you read slashdot? There's a known hack to take control of the CPU and circumvent the entire OS.
Your computer is only yours by the whims of others.
Capital One IT staff: "Oh shit, we're on /."
2nd C1 IT staff: "Oh fuck. I'll bet it's the certificate."
*phone rings*
"Oh shit, it's the CTO's number."
CTO: "Why the fuck are we on slashdot's front page?"
And presto, Capital One's certificates have been fixed.

Are those really his posts? If so, then there's clearly grounds for a mistrial.

I'd call it "coccyx".
What? I meant that it's from the base of the spine.
I was going to say "log off UO", but I guess your way works too.
Yes. I've been beard-free since 2004 but /. doesn't let you change your username.
Either way. I'll send you a pretend receipt via facebook.
Ah, sorry, I wasn't clear.
The comments were placed throughout the code, explaining each line as it went along. The comments at the beginning were just the standard headers.
The code was intricate because it's an intricate operation that required fuzzy logic to complete correctly.
It's not 1985. Comment space is cheap.

That's in one specific country.

"Oh, you're smiling in this photo. Clearly, watching your kids get run over didn't affect you at all."
I've only just heard of it now. I'll have to give them a try.
I usually get my movies from the library. Same with games.
I can understand pages of hex.
I can speak with toddlers and infants.
I understand offshored tech support and foreign graduate students.
I have decoded raw feeds by hand.
Taco's quoting the original article; I can give you that much. As for what in the everloving fuck that statement means, you are on your fucking own.
Ah, but you're forgetting that most users just run whatever comes on the machinery thing that they got at the store.
"Oh, is your computerage slow? You have to restall the onercating system and buy more RAM. Or you can buy a new computer and it'll just work."
The expensive sunglasses are worth it. You get better vision, an aura of smug, and longevity.
I have trouble with shoes, especially workboots. Where can I get a pair of those?

Coding Horror: Choosing Anti-Anti-Virus software
Ah, okay. I only read the comic-book version, so I'm not really that up on biblical verses.
I liked the Jebus character, but I thought he could have used a love interest.
My point was that it's not cam movies. Thanks for reading.
