I'm going to start a weight-loss scam involving laxatives that will be purported to purge all heavy isotopes out of the body. I'll also sell rad waste bags for my customer's to use when disposing of their poop.
"The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) adopted aluminium as the standard international name for the element in 1990, but three years later recognized aluminum as an acceptable variant. Hence their periodic table includes both.[58] IUPAC prefers the use of aluminium in its internal publications, although nearly as many IUPAC publications use the spelling aluminum." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium
reading about some of the modeling of nuclear wars, saw discussion of a variable for casualties in large exchange, the extent of firestorms
in a war against populated cities, the big cities won't get just one bomb, and firestorms from one might be fanned by another
big mistake, you think nukes are like erasers that make a blank dot for their radius of destruction?
While a one megaton bomb detonated at optimum altitude will make 300 kilometer per hour winds at 6.5 kilometers. And the millions of people killed in a circle that size on a large city will be only 10% of those killed over the next month because of fallout.
There are tens of thousands of megatons of yield in the world's stockpiles, deaths would depend on locations, altitudes and weather, could be hundreds of millions or more than six billion.
you'll be happy to know the Netherlands has adopted the same standards for porn actor/actress age as other first and second world nations, and that "seventeen" has for some time now features eighteens and up.
go ahead and make fun of a language where you can specify precisely the size, ordering, alignment and endianess of data in memory and in storage, without "buffer overflows" or underruns.
90% of the problems we have with software is because of the sloppiness allowed by most "modern" languages.
You're not looking in the right places, here's 4,500 COBOL jobs http://www.indeed.com/q-Cobol-jobs.html . Major city newspapers list them also.
Latest COBOL is COBOL 2002, which includes object orientation (already de facto standard since early 90s by the major compiler vendors), web and XML extensions, locale sensitive processing, cobol javabeans. The next version is shaping up already, dynamic tables, structured constants, ISO 8601:2000 dates. Propose new extensions for the next version of COBOL include aspect oriented programming.
So, it's still a living growing language, and its main application is hardcore money moving and logistics in highly available fault tolerant systems with uptimes of decade or more.
have they tried a good slashdotting yet? they could just post a link here to a page with lots of middleware links and claim it's link to home porn of some modest movie star
unelectable? Obama has so very much done the opposite of everything he promised to do, screwed up so very badly, followed and continued the Bush/Cheney agenda on every point including being a lapdog of the same elite destroying our country, that you don't think there's a chance that *anyone* who runs against him would win?
my "ideals", not destroying the economy and ability to make real weath, not committing the mass murder of innocents, and not destroying the middle class of this country? those are unrealistic expectations.
Bin Laden was a CIA agent for years in Afghanistan. Now he is a bogey man to justify mass expenditures of wealth and removal of our liberties as part of political agenda. They don't want to catch him, he's useful.
You're only right in the sense the Congress is doing the things they have no right to do, and not doing the things the Constitution says they must do.
Declaring war - no, haven't had a proper war declaration in decades
Coining money and regulating the value thereof - no, illegally delegated to central banking family dynasties
doing the will of the corporate elite instead of the people - yes
abridging the right to bear arms - yes
bailing out failed businesses against the will of the majority of the people - yes
forcing the people to buy a product under threat of force - yes
let's just bring back old-fart terminology. Primary storage and secondary storage. Your HDD and SDD and USB Memory stick and Racetrack are all secondary storage. RAM is primary storage.
one of the problems with our IP4 is that ISP's routing tables are massively huge and growing, 100,000+ entries, each reachable network requires an entry. IP6 solves that problem in that the average routing table will have 8192 entries. Your solution is a routing nightmare in that regard, I'm afraid
nope, in the real world rape cases get thrown out when the plaintiff admits they willfully started sexual intercourse. No crime here.
Note to women, changing your mind a day or more later out of jealousy over another woman doesn't constitute rape.
Slashdot Mirror
not an alt account of mine, I think DarkOx mistook part of this thread as a reply to his post http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1922774&cid=34651974
no worries, our sun is way too puny, one eighth the mass, to get it up and make a money shot like that
Study proves sugar pills alleviate IBS in 60% of patients!
yes indeed, hardly used anymore though

don't be such a pernickety scallywag over the titbit of difference. I just wanted to type the UK variants of scalawag and persnickety and tidbit.

what's sad is the ability of bloat in the OS and applications to reduce our evermore powerful machines to the same sluggishness.
you forgot the 4 for h lamer!

nope, now you confuse what's right with what's merely legal. The law is made by power and money grubbing scum.

I'd prefer Who, What and I Don't know.
"Who is set True, What is set False".
"I don't know"
"That's also False"
"Abbooooottttttt!!!!!!!!"

naw, we don't need that archaic shit to do this, we can use the newfangled DECnet Phase V adjacency databases. and get off my lawn.
