This information is perhaps 2 years out of date, but back for one of my projects, when we switched from g++ to Intel C++, our software got about twice as fast with no other changes.
It got even faster when we took advantage of SSE3 instructions.
Look at the unregulated sections of autobahn. Unlimited speed limits, safer than U.S highways.
Just a guess, but German drivers are probably better trained and follow conventions (such as not driving in the passing lane or moving over when somebody behind you flashes his headlights) than American drivers.
I see so many people who drive in the passing lane for no reason and others who are mystified as to what a headlight-flash means. Either that, or they're just being jerks. Either way, I can't see unregulated speed limits working in the US.
I think the average beheading is pretty much against the law.
The act is, but photos or videos of it are not; so while your statement is true, it's irrelevant. However, even photos or videos of child porn (i.e., after the fact) are also illegal.
Facebook should be in the business business. If they can make more money by making the site more family friendly, at the cost of kicking out some of the dregs of 4chan, they should do so. Hell, they have an obligation to their shareholders to do so.
They can accomplish the same thing by allowing people to self-tag posts as "adult." (Or they could even have several tags such as "violence", "sex", etc.) Minors wouldn't be able to see such content (based on what tags their parents allow them to see). At worst, adult content that's not self-tagged as such would simply be tagged as such by Facebook if/when they're alerted to it. Adults who've chosen not to filter their content will get to see everything. It's a win-win and it's certainly better than outright banning.
Facebook should get out of the censorship/banning business. You should only be able to report things that are against the law, e.g., child pornography. If you don't like anything else, don't look.
If it's on a page you've "liked," unlike the page and stop following it. If a friend posts something you don't like, either learn to accept your friend is his or her entirety, or simply unfollow or unfriend your friend. Facebook shouldn't be your nanny.
Re-read my post. I said what I'm getting at: they have to do a better job of birth control, i.e., providing condoms and actually getting people to use them, the catholic church not withstanding.
If they're successful at eradicating malaria in the developing world, they're also going to have to do something about birth control since the population will explode due to malaria no longer killing people off. The developing world can't even handle the population it already has in terms of food, potable water, and sanitation.
Anyway, if there was a ~100% effective vaccine taken by almost everyone, would that eradicate malaria itself, or
could the malaria parasite continue to exist?
The latter since malaria does not require humans in particular as part of its life cycle.
I'm waiting until they reveal the next writer. Matt Smith has done a fine job, but Moffat just hasn't been giving him as good of scripts as Davies wrote for Eccleston and Tennant.
During the Eccleston and Tennant years, Davies' scripts were mediocre/bad. It was only Moffat that wrote the good stories (e.g., The Empty Child, The Girl in the Fireplace, and, probably the best story in the new series, Blink).
Given stories like that, I was really excited when Moffat took over from Davies, but, sadly, now that's he's lead writer, the stores are back to being mediocre/bad. It might be because being lead writer, nobody has the guts to tell him his scripts are rubbish and go back and rewrite them.
The surface pressure on Venus is about 900 atmospheres. Divers would have to be at the bottom of the Mariana Trench (about 6.8 miles) to experience the same pressure which is far below what a diver can dive without a protective submersible. So, yes, they would get crushed like a grape.
That's a pretty myopic statement. It's not like gay people, when denied the right to marry, suddenly turn straight, marry people of the opposite sex, and have kids thus contributing to population growth; or when they do marry produce fewer kids than they otherwise would have. No, gay people will be with members of the same sex whom they love regardless of whether they're married or not. Marriage only confers legal rights (taxation, survivor benefits, military benefits, etc.) and has nothing to do with children.
Incidentally, some gay couples do choose to be biological parents. Marriage, sexual orientation, and having children are three distinct things that really don't have much to do with each other.
I've been using bazaar and it's everything subversion is, but better. It's had true renames since I've been using it and it really knows how to merge branches properly (which were the big big problems I've had with subversion).
... state frankly you are not answering any questions until you have counsel.
And even then don't answer any questions directly if you can manage it. Always communicate answers to any questions only to your lawyer who will relay your answers to the police.

I'm aware of that. I was simply responding to the parent poster who did post about 911.
And then maybe get a better circle of friends.
Why don't they tack on a $100 "911 call charge" to the caller's phone bill for every call? That ought to make the idiots learn pretty quickly.
The charge would be waived if any emergency personnel are actually dispatched.

64 ways of combining four letters taken 3 at a time to form a codon.
Yes, in the same way any Mac can run Windows. Google "Bootcamp."
They're already short of food. If they could somehow do it, they would already be doing it.

You'd also have to get rid of all the excess atmosphere somehow so a human on the surface wouldn't be crushed like a grape.
Speaking of cruft, ever see this?

Get every carrier to whitelist IMEIs rather than blacklist.
Why can't they just blacklist the phone's IMEI?
