Puede verse este término en Altamirano, J.C. Diccionario Ecuestre Español, A.M.C. Ediciones ecuestres, 1994. El término "haca" es un apócope de "hacanea" y éste es la traducción del bretón "haquenne" -donde aparece por primera vez en 1363-, que a su vez procede del vocablo inglés "hackney", del que se conoce su presencia desde 1292.
There are three states.
Eating, Sleeping, Neither
So two bools are almost sensible. Since the Eating&&Sleeping state is illegal, it would be better to represent it with an enum anyway
It could be argued that the pet may have more states in further versions. So booleans are more extensible. You wouldn't have to track all your code for NOT_EATING_AND_NOT_SLEEPING to substitute it for NOT_EATING_AND_NOT_SLEEPING_AND_BARKING.
Or make it a class.
Somebody who could see in the near infrared would have capabilities similar to that of the Sony Nightvision cameras that were sold in Japan. If you set the night vision option on at daylight, the camera would be sensible to the infrared and the visible spectrum. One of the amusing results is that you could see through some clothes that happen to be quite transparent on the infrared.
When Sony found this, they rearranged the camera so that infrared detection is not available under normal light.
Or am I wrong?
I can't tell what are the Darwinian consequences of being able to see through the clothes of your potential mates. __
Is staying in an environment with ultraviolet light harmful? Like discos and trendy bars?
I know that UV radiation form the Sun and tanning machines is dangerous for the eyes and increases the risk of skin cancer. Are the doses or the range of the decorative UV lamps dangerous? __
You have to wonder if this is going to destroy your eyes that much faster?
An example, a hearing aid works like a little amplifier sitting in or hanging on your ear increasing sound levels for the wearer
Is there a risk that wearing a hearing aid increases "tolerance" to high volume, so that you need a stronger hearing aid,... ad infinitum? __
What happens to dead's homepage ? Do someone close them ? Or do they stand, like a simulacrum of eternity?
For a while, Afterdeath was formed by volonteers that would maintain pages of dead people. But it seems that the project is also dead.
Then, given the low cost of diskspace and unused bandwidth and the high cost of webmaster attention, probably they join the number of the Ghostsites. __
They assumed the idea of discovering new territory was stealing gold and shipping it back to Spain.
The guys who really made the big bucks were the ones who decided to move to the New World and create wealth there.
Actually, the riches (it was mainly silver from Mexico and Peru) that weren't sunk or pirated passed frequently from the Spanish galleons to the convoys that brought them to the very wealthy German banker family Fugger. The king had mortgaged his share well in advance to wage wars all over Europe.
I wouldn't say that the English colonies were very rich before independence. Plantation economy and industrialization made them rich but I'm not an expert. __
I believe the ideal is a combination of command line and GUI. Some things are a lot quicker to achieve graphically, other quites awkward or impossible, but very easily done on a command line.
If you are looking for novelty in UI design, I think this is new. I don't know how easy or bloated it is, but it's different though, at the same time, it's known. __
Allegedly, Israeli scientists have identified certain unique features of the Arab/Palestinians' genome which don't appear in Israelis' genome.
Would this work? There are lots of Sephardic and Yemeni Jews that lived centuries in contact with Arabs (of course, not all the people in "Arab countries" are genetically Arab, if such thing exists. I think there would be some degree of intermixing, kosher or not.

the phone is the ideal standard for usability
The book "The design of everyday things" talks a bit against this.
Do you know how to transfer a call to another phone? Do you know how to do it if you are not in your company system?

The basic stuff can seem easy but it may get very hard.

If your filesystem keeps timestamps from local time (FAT does), it could be interesting to study the statistics of source code.
What was the mean time of the source files? What's the distribution? How does it compare to that of the binaries?
