Calgary, for instance experiences regular freeze-thaw cycles resulting in a significant amount of ice. They only plow and salt main streets.
Actually, Calgary plows residential streets too, but they are a lower priority.
And it's rarely salt, it's gravel and sand whenever the temperature drops below -5. Depending on how concentrated it is even salt water will freeze somewhere between 0 and -20 degrees. Dumping salt on the roads in those conditions just makes a bigger mess with no benefit.
It would be nice if people who dump entire bags of road salt on their sidewalks in the middle of winter would learn to apply this basic chemistry first.
It's a simple cost-benefit analysis. You think there's a 50% chance of snow: so if the cost to shut down the city is less than half the cost of damage that may occur you shut down. Half the time you'll be wrong, but you'll be paid off the other half. Taking into account some of the softer metrics like the damage to your reputation after an incident like this, makes it quite a simple decision to play it safe.
Where have I heard that logic before?
"A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 mph. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now, should we initiate a recall?"
You do support and you just bring them to your desk for the last four years and just pile them up? How many monitors, keyboards, and memory dimms do you have stacked on your desk?
Monitors, Keyboards and DIMMs don't store confidential information which requires proper disposal.
Several years ago I worked for a company which handled financial data for several big banks. We were contractually bound to dispose of all storage media in the most destructive and showy manner possible so that there would be no chance of information being leaked. Since nobody wanted to go to the expense of shredding, crushing and atomizing the things the moment they were pulled we just tossed them into a bin in a secure storage room and left them there until we could destroy them all at once. After about a year we had almost a hundred failed and retired drives all go into a wood chipper together.
Of course that figure comes from a fly by night Liberal mouthpiece called the Food and Agriculture Of the United Nations, and I'm sure that they're backed by some sort of militant panda bear extremists so you shouldn't trust anything they say.
Sorry but that violates the standard as well. It must return a 404 or you break testing.
RFC 2616 mandates a 4xx error code followed by an optional human readable reason phrase. While the reason phrase is usually "Not Found" for a 404 error, there's nothing keeping it from being augmented by "...but a copy of a previous version is over there."
If your testing relies on anything beyond the numeric error code, then it's probably already broken.
It happens when you buttume that doing a mbutt replacement of strings consbreastutes a good plan, when it's really just a reRichardulous buttbuttination of words.
It's somewhere between buttstounding and buttinine.
Slashdot Mirror
Look, if you're just going to check with primary sources and present well researched facts, why should we even bother having slashdot at all?
Try that again, but first empty your mind of everything you know about the subject and try to blame either Microsoft, Apple or Google for everything.

If I didn't know better I would suspect that the best time to invest in BTC futures would be about five seconds before the DDoS stopped.
I'll leave you to guess who is in the best position to profit from that.
Would you rather they all went whaling?
There are entirely different reasons why you should worry about huge masses of rock being produced on the moon and thrown down to Earth.
Hey, what could possibly go wrong that wouldn't go wrong on the Earth eventually?
Or perhaps Apple or Atari.
You can easily divide a foot, for example, into thirds, halves, quarters. Not so much with base 10.
If you can't easily divide the number ten into two equal halves, then perhaps you have bigger problems than just which set of units to use.
Within under 5 minutes of linkedin data mining and a couple of search logarithms, I had some pretty embarrassing personal info about him.
I think you just revealed some pretty embarrassing information about your knowledge of basic mathematics, computer science and the English language.

Let's see, USA has America's Army, PRC has The Glorious Mission, what does ROK call their war recruitment game?

Chicken have at least I.
I'm 40 --
Thank you, we've heard enough. Next applicant please.
"Honey? Your dad's on the phone again. He wants you to switch to a new insurance carrier, and hire someone to have the carpets cleaned."
What, the skiffy channel won't pull the plug on a good series and replace it with crap again?
Hey... you're right. I just looked at their lineup of shows and it's simply not possible for that to happen. Never mind.
Or learn how to access it...

What time did NSW "nailed it"?
I will take "4:11 AM on Tuesday" for $200 please, Alex.
From what I understand, they upgraded to a warning too late by then (10am?). Most people already arrived at work.
Then they were showing up very early.
And that wasn't even the only forecast that predicted doom for Atlanta. The only forecasts which predicted clear weather came from a Ouija board in Nathan Deal's office.

Good catch, that figure is actually the _gross_ deforestation per year.
Net deforestation is actually 34,000 acres per day, accounting for afforestation and natural expansion.
Of course that figure comes from a fly by night Liberal mouthpiece called the Food and Agriculture Of the United Nations, and I'm sure that they're backed by some sort of militant panda bear extremists so you shouldn't trust anything they say.
Seriously, guys... get it together.
Feel free to do something about that.
