So we are looking at 0.42mm a year, due to glacial melt. To reach the claimed 80 Meters of sea level rise that is bandied about for all the claims of coastal flooding it would take 190,000 years to reach that level, since your worried about warming to increase, let's halve that to 95,000 years.
Jebus Griste, did you even read the page you just linked to?
Over the past 100 years, sea level has risen by 1.0 to 2.5 millimeters per year; thus the contribution from melting small glaciers would be approximately 20 to 30 percent of the total. Climate models based on the current rate of increase in greenhouse gases, however, indicate that sea level will rise at a rate of about two to five times the current rate over the next 100 years from the combined effect of ocean thermal expansion and increased glacier melt
I'm pretty certain his point was not optimizing. It was more like "do we actually still need the optimizations (as in far better performance at the time C was invented) of pointer arithmetic at the cost of its complexity and lower maintainability compared to array-indexing"?
Or in other words: Do obscure C hacks still make programs notably faster, or can we go back to sane programming?
Ever since the Mangans gave up their comfortable house in Kansas City, Kan., and moved here a year ago, the family has been living in a kind of suspended animation.
because that is obviously the most important part of the story.
Which may well be the reason why they have to do it. There is probably some (decades old) ordinance that forces agencies like them to not let others distribute something they own.

Hey, it's not my fault everything you say is wrong.
Jebus Griste, did you even read the page you just linked to?
But lack of correlation is?

Well, zero is 100% of nothing, so I guess they had a monopoly in the early 70s.
Well, why keep the source when you have a working app?
Suuure.
As opposed to rabid, baseless hate? Yeah, you Apple haters sure are a humorless bunch.
Yeah, but has he got a looong video of a demonstration of the Lisa GUI?
So your actual problem is that somebody told you that 'B' even exists.
You forgot "Doesn't Tell *Anybody*". So much for marketing.
Jeffrey Wigand must have been working in Europe then?
You see these "built-in redundancies" mentioned there?
The ones that didn't help a bit in preventing the accident?
Now he's chief engineer for the company designing that one crucial control
TTTech says he was a manager - and not a good one, that's why his 6 months contract wasn't renewed.
I would mod you Insightful - but I didn't get points in over 2 years ;-)

Duh. Every invention is obvious as soon as somebody else made it.

Then the bartender can kick you out to make room for someone thirsty.
This will enable Slashdot editors to google articles on Slashdot, so they can guarantee a steady flow of dupes.
Thanks for pointing out that "evolution" obviously doesn't mean "making something better".
When I have my keys in my pocket with the rest of my keys, they get scratched.
Wow - Talk about taking Anti Apple Trollism to a whole new level! The 4GB Nano cost LESS then any 2GB Flash-based player I've seen.
Not the "profit" the GP talked about. Complain to him.
most posters here seem to think this couldn't happen in the US.
Yeah, and Sony's Jog Dial is a bad idea because it doesn't rotate the image.
