  3. I'm glad that TFA granted the courtesy of letting us know what Bhavin was wearing, as this has very important technical relevance.

  4. Yes, given that "inflammable" means "able to inflame," or thus "able to catch fire."

  5. But there's so much negative press covfefe!

    Sorry; nearly a dozen offspring, my mistake. Numbers are good things to check.

    One needs only look at heavily overpopulated areas to appreciate the personal space offered by less population density. If water flouridation does indeed reduce reproduction - either psychologically or physically - I would be willing to make the argument that it is a good thing.

    We are not a primitive species that exists only for its own reproduction. There are many ways to benefit the rest of society without producing your own offspring. A person who is barely surviving on their current level of income absolutely should not try to shoulder the further expense of raising a child. And for some who suffer from severe headaches or other medical conditions, dealing with young children would only worsen their problems. Additionally, people who are exceptionally stupid and/or abusive would be doing society a favor by not breeding.

    Selfishness implies hurting or inconveniencing others for one's own benefit. Having children is a choice that is up to an individual, and not having them cannot be considered selfish.

    Since you seem determined to stress the importance of having nearly half a dozen offspring, perhaps you can tell us how many children you've raised so far.

    Reasons for not having ten children:
    1. Desire to focus on careers or other life plans.
    2. Children are expensive to raise.
    3. Wanting to live in a quiet house.
    None of these common, valid reasons are related to water flouridation. Until you can conclusively prove that the average family's birth rate spontaneously dropped to its present average at the moment that flouridation began, your argument will remain invalid.

    And yet, males who drink flouridated water continue to reproduce as normal. I fail to see how this claim is anything but self-debunking.

  13. By passing the text data entered into the field into a SQL server for storage or processing, without checking to ensure the server will not interpret it incorrectly.

  14. Correct. The question is, how does one permit an overflow in a situation where the data should be so simple?

    On the other hand, comments after my own are implying that subtitles are more complicated than plain text. Back to square one.

  15. How on earth does one design a plain-text subtitle system capable of being instructed to execute code?
