Point a camera at the sky, get 2-D images at certain moments in time, and somehow dots on the images can be distinguished from dots discovered decades ago. It's amazing how they can all be kept track of.
If "use IO::Socket" counts as one line, just make a module "Foursquare::Mayor" whose import does what you did. Voila, one line! (Or, since we ignored the shebang line (which merely invokes megabytes of interpreter), why not make an executable which....)
Another part is that it's difficult to not be munching down on what everyone around you is buying and eating.
That's maybe the worst part of gluten intolerance. People come around giving out cookies at work - after a while you kind of give up
and, instead of looking carefully at every little snack, just politely refuse anything that looks remotely like it might have flour in it.
And feel bad when friends realize they've just offered you something with wheat in it
(or people who don't know you as well are puzzled by your grumpy refusal).
Or go out for pizza to celebrate something, and get used to looking for the salad section on the menu.
"Is there anything you can eat?" "No, but don't worry about it. REALLY."
Hey, let's go get a beer after work! Okay, but I'll be having a snobby wine instead, thanks...
I'm living in Amsterdam and gluten intolerant, and I have to say that (the prevalent grocery store chain) 'Albert Heijn' has excellent labelling. With almost every product, there is a section on the label containing allergy information, and I can just glance at the back of everything to see if it has a "glutenvrij" (gluten free) symbol. (Another common symbol is "melkvrij", for those who are lactose intolerant.) And the store I go to added a gluten-free section recently with bread and cereal, so I'm happy about that; before I had to make a separate trip to "Biomarkt", which also has a gluten-free section.
Before working here, I'd never met anyone else with wheat intolerance, but at my company there are 3 others, and the company provides gluten-free bread for lunch.
Do you think that most kids have ever known a lot of the low-level details of how things work? "Their depth of knowledge is often severely lacking" like most kids any time throughout history!
However, America and Europe have enjoyed a period of peace of prosperity that quite frankly has allowed us the luxury of evolving to this state in the first place.
The Middle East has been without such an environment for a very long long time and is unarguably in the grips of a Dark Age.
Hmmm, I wonder how that happened.... Was it, "quite frankly", the Europeans and Americans?
"enjoyed a period of peace [and] prosperity" - sounds like your joints are rolled in propaganda papers. "as long as angry violent men control the Middle East we are going to continue experiencing the anguish they bring upon the rest of the world" - unarguably? or quite frankly?
No understanding, hah! Maybe you just don't understand how people work? There's no training needed, because finding patterns is a very human thing indeed. They got to their mail, didn't they? Why is your way better?
Different people think differently. Clean syntax and propriety might be important to you. For others, it might feel less expressive, like trying to speak in a foreign language.
An example (see the API docs, navigate to bin -> bric_soap...): "Republish all published stories. This is useful when a template change needs to be reflected across a site. The sort -k2 -t_ -n is a crude way to make sure that newer stories overwrite older ones."
So what became of those revolutionaries and non-conformists? Today, they sit in suits and ties and are exactly those dinosaur managers you accuse of being the establishment incarnate.
I agree with what you say about the fashion protocol, but I don't buy this story that I hear occasionally. I'm sure there were some "revolutionaries and non-conformists" in 1968, but it wasn't everyone, and anyway it's not necessarily those same people who became managers. (Have you seen The Big Lebowski?) Do you have any real data that whatever percent of current board members were flower power free lovers in the 60s?
If the news that there is Postal movie wasnt bad enough
I think it could be potentially awesome, like if it were done
by Quentin Tarantino. I remember the game 'Postal' being hilarious.
The band marches by playing "76 Trombones", and you wait till they pass a bit
then start shooting and everyone starts screaming. Setting ostriches on fire
with a flamethrower. It was brilliant.
The fact that critics are calling the movie horrible makes me think
it might be worth seeing after all.
My article was modded as a Troll. Again. It's been years since I was
able to moderate. Oh, well.
But FWIW, I think it's legitimate to point out that it's not only the USA and Israel
doing the killing. The hack's statement was hypocritical.
You never see hacks urging extremists to stop the terror.
That's precious that they're asking USA and Israel "dont kill children and other people".
Does it not count if you blow yourself up while doing it? Or do you just have to be muslim
to be excluded?
My thought when reading the article summary was that, William Gibson is getting older
and probably losing some of his earlier creativity, or maybe just wants to try something different,
or whatever. "Neuromancer" was released in 1984, 23 years ago; I imagine that's longer than many people
reading Slashdot have been alive.
I'd be surprised if we haven't shot our bolt one way or the other in the next ten thousand years, and that's a conservative estimate.
"conservative estimate" makes it sound like it has some kind of basis in reality,
while I imagine you just thought of a number and put it in italics, thinking that
by emphasizing it that it would be more believable.
The reason for the decline in American science is obvious if you RTFA,
in particular the photo at the top: there is an increasing number of hot babes in science.
(That's the only way I can understand the relevance of the photo, at least.)
The nerds have simply been distracted, rendering them completely useless,
and you can't expect the babes to take up 100% of the slack,
so that accounts for the drop in numbers. Q.E.D.

If Cantonese is a "main" dialect of Chinese, then Wu (Shanghainese) is too?
If "use IO::Socket" counts as one line, just make a module "Foursquare::Mayor" whose import does what you did. Voila, one line! (Or, since we ignored the shebang line (which merely invokes megabytes of interpreter), why not make an executable which....)
Not to mention the game publishers, like Hollywood, hide their revenue in shell companies.

I've been using such a command called bric_soap in Bricolage (Perl-based CMS) for the last six years at least.
Introduced in 2002: ViewVC
An example (see the API docs, navigate to bin -> bric_soap ...): "Republish all published stories. This is useful when a template change needs to be reflected across a site. The sort -k2 -t_ -n is a crude way to make sure that newer stories overwrite older ones."

And for that matter, what isn't governed by E=mc^2 ? (according to current theories, to a certain approximation, blahblah...)
You get the government you deserve.
And Atlas shrugged.
Can you explain to me what being gay has to do with being homosexual? You don't own the word "gay".
