This is a great idea, I wish they'd do it for 101 in teh Bay Area. It pisses me off to see single occupant cars zip by me in the HOV lane. I wonder how they justify it in their heads. And are they the kind of person who thinks "Well, it's late at night and there's no one around so I can just roll thru this red light/stop sign".
Yeah, get over yourself. Being bright is an accident of genetics. How would you react to someone asking, "Hey people, I'm unusually attractive, any advice?"
I've always had pretty good luck with MapQuest. Except for this one time when, lulled into a false sense of security, I trusted the driving directions I'd printed without reading the fine print. Ended up no where near where I was supposed to be. Then I noticed the tiny print saying words to the effect that "we couldn't find the address you asked for, so we've given you directions to the center of the town." Great.
Some of you might have noticed that we have been doing a 'string
cleaning'. (I should probably apologize for this northern-hemisphere
specific pun).
Groan. Umm, we do spring cleaning in the southern hemisphere too ya know! Our spring follows winter (the cold one) and preceeds summer (the hot one) as well!! The only difference is the time of year.
My cordless answer phone has been slowly losing brain cells over the last 5 years. Msg playback from the base doesn't work now, msg light always on, etc, etc. Some time ago I had a power outage at home and afterwards the thing really went berserk, it resurrected month old deleted messages and appended random fragments of old messages to my announcement.
Either give her two rings, or make a composite double ring and have them engraved with the appropriate log scale numbers. Theoretically, you'd have a teeny-tiny slide rule! Well, OK, it might not actually be practical, but it would look pretty cool!
I was home in NZ over Christmas and saw TTT in Wellington (at the Embassy theatre, where it premiered, huge Gollum and Ring above the entrance, very coolio). The next day I went to the LOTR exhibition at Te Papa (national museum). I would swear one of the video clips was an interview with the author of Massive in which he gave a slightly different explanation of the bug. I thought he said the orcs who ran away couldn't see the enemy because they were obscured, so the fix was to add a rule saying "if in doubt, follow your orc buddies".
That's interesting wording.
Given that the official number of stolen records is "approximately 55,200", I think that I would've chosen the phrase "more than 55,000" instead.
Of course I wouldn't've used a comma to separate the thousands. Confuses the tiny parser in my brain.
From the original email: "...various insundry countries...".
S/he's a reporter but thinks "insundry" is a word?
The phrase is "...and sundry".
But wait, it gets funnier, I googled (tm) for "insundry" and got more than 100 hits. I guess a lot of people hear "and sundry" as "insundry". Is there a word for that? It's like a meme, but it's something you've heard. A heme! Oh, wait. Taken. A misspelleme?
A large multi-threaded, event driven application. With a particular dataset we'd get a floating-point exception thrown. I tracked down the offending line, set breakpoints, single-stepped... It's fine! Waddaya complaining about! Those numbers are perfectly legal (the FPE was NaN or something). Naturally, I went to the MSDN, did a bit of searching. It turns out that if a floating-point op raises an error, that error isn't actually thrown until the NEXT floating point operation. Potentially a gazillion instructions ago. Tracking it down was not easy. Spent a lot of time shaking my head about the logic of it all.
