It does have isometric view. Indirectly this is what the grand-parent is complaining about. When you zoom-out the camera zooms up and changes perspective to finally end up in top-down isometric view.
Threads simplify asynchronous applications. This means you do not have to have a central event dispatcher and make sure to return to it at regular intervals. Instead you can have jobs written as a single slow function, and let the rest of the program work unaffected in parallel.
PostgreSQL have been designed to be a correct database from the ground up. MySQL is only a strict database if you use the later fused-in InnoDB. The point is that MySQL was designed to be a fast storage engine, but not a true database. It is excelent for its original purpose but it makes a lousy database.
On all machines I've coded for the right-shift on signed numbers have always been arithmetic. While not being a standard it is recommended C, and applies to atleast x86 and PowerPC
It seems like every developer/administrator I've met wants to ague with that. They want to say, "But that setting *shouldn't* make a difference. Computers only do what they're programmed to do, so I just have to reprogram it right now." All that may be true, but as the support guy, you don't always have time like that. Sometimes you just have to blame the computer gods and move on.
As a developer I totally disagree with your mindset, but I love the conclusion. Don't waste time on problems you don't have time to solve.
Btw. I think many young developers share your viewpoint: At the university I tought kernel programming. The rack that contained the test machines, was over the years slowly transformed by the students to a shrine for the Alpha gods (they were Alpha PCs). The students for many years had to walk up to the rack to reset a machine if they had fucked the machine up beyond remote control, and when they did they left sacrifices to the Alpha gods, in hope their next kernel wouldn't FUBAR nearly as bad. Still it was their assignment, they had to figure out what went wrong sooner or later, but sacrifices was the first step.
Which any developer should have. No admin in their right mind wants to admin a developer workstation. It is unrelated to all other administration and much more complicated, not to mention unnecessary. Take an extreme example; some developers are also working on new admin tools. This means the computers used for testing and development are using different admin software than everything else. The admin shouldn't have to deal with new buggy admin tools until they are finished, except possibly as a user test.
I don't remember where I got this, but my understanding was that men occupy both the top and bottom ~2%. This gives both sexes the impression that the opposite is dumber.
It is my impression too, maybe because it is also a statistical fact.
The comment about researchers suggesting men are smarter than woman, is that; it is also impossible to prove, because while men are better in many tests, there are also tests women are better at. Technically it becomes a matter of how you weigh the different skills, and the bias in the tests is impossible to weed out. My only point was that I have seen intelligence researchers who tried to prove men was smarter, and I have watched them burn. This makes the assumption that a larger brain leeds to higher average intelligence a "no go zone".
No, not officially. First of all there is the also the variance. Even if bigger brains means smarter on average that doesn't mean the largest brain is also the smartest. Second, there is the known fact that in humans, men has larger brains than women, which means this subject is a no go zone; any serious scientist that suggest it is quickly discredited.
OTOH. There are some evidence that suggest the neanderthal (who had 10% larger brains) was smarter than humans based on the relatively advanced tools they used, but since tools improve over time this is not really strong evidence.
What do you do if only part of the lights were covered, especially if the parts covered are extensions such as no left-turn? I know it is much to ask, but as minimum, maybe you should Read The Fucking Summary.
Long enough, staight enough and strong enough -- Hmm, that's what she said!
Add to that the fact that wind-resistance increases geometrically. This means it is much more expensive to travel fast and much more expensive to prepare the tracks for these speeds (especially in the dense urban areas).
Encryption strength depends on the key, not the algorithm. You can study the source of GnuPG all you want, but you can't break the encryption without the private key. And DRM fails because of neither the key nor the algorithm. It fails because some greedy clods don't know heck about the basic principles of encryption, one of which being that you can't encrypt and not-encrypt at the same time.
No DRM fails because it is technically impossible. Yes, this is because some greedy clods who don't know heck about the basic principles of encryption has asked for it, but even the best security experts in the world can not make a DRM system that works. DRM is inheritently broken. (allowing people to decrypt content but without allowing them access to the decrypted result!!)
So I guess the first decade ran from -1 to 0, and the second decade was from 1 to 10?
No decade counting starts over at each century, have you ever heard of the 200th decade? No, it because decades are not counted from year 1 like centuries and millineas.
The bible, however, clearly states that it is the word of God and should not be modified.
No, the bible clearly states it is NOT the word of God. Check how different parts is attributed to different evangelists, none of them being God, and none of them under direct guidance by God.
The literal interpretation of the Bibile is only believed by some churches in North America, but not by the Catholics, and not by the Holy See. They would know, because they wrote the bible!
Retribution against a person who has violated another by placing them in cold hard prisons is the only way to quench the primal *need* for retribution by the victim, the victims people and the victims community.
I don't believe that argument makes anysense. It is similar to saying that a spoonfull of icecream is the only way to quench the primal *need* a screaming child has for icecream. I believe the opposite, but giving in all you do is incourage bad behaviour. Tougher crimes will never end and always get tougher and tougher until you learn to control your primal urges to hurt other people.
The smaller, consumer carbon offset market is what you're thinking of. This is where people effectively donate money to environmental causes, theoretically to pay activities that either prevent carbon dioxide from being emitted or remove it from the air. I won't argue with you here; I agree that at least some of these are not legitimate, or have other problems that make them not effective. And it is this kind of carbon offset which is more relevant to the discussion at hand.
Unless what you are buying are real carbon offsets from the bigger market you mentioned earlier. In that case you will actually reduce the carbon footprint of your country, below the level set by the government, by the amount you buy. Unlike if you just save on electricity or fuel, where the electricity or fuel company will then sell their excess offsets for someone else to pollute.
In other words, buying carbon offsets is not only a valid way of reducing carbon-emissions. It may be the only way you as a consumer can effect a reduction at all.
I don't understand why there isn't a hybrid diesel on the market.... Probably cost.
I think there is, I could be wrong, but I think I've seen a hybrid diesel Lexus SUV. But given that hybrids are popular in the US, where diesel isn't and the diesel fuel isn't suited for modern diesel engines, I imagine the problem is the market. Hybrids doesn't make sense in Europe, and diesels are unsellable in the US. This leaves hybrid diesels to a limited luxury market of Europeans with too much money.
Does anybody know the difference in damage award size in Denmark and the US?
Damages in countries with civil law are usually not intended to punish. The reason the damages are so high in the US is because the damages are also penalties or fines for breaking the law. This is very specific to the US, I don't even think the UK shares the US problem with damages despite also using common law. But damages are not relevant here, since there is no damage done to the copyright holder.
As another person pointed out, its not free market capitalism at work, since the people the pirates are preying upon are not free to spend a few million on some guns themselves. Its a breakdown in the UN sure enough.
As another person pointed out. It is free market capitalism at work, since the people the pirates are preying upon ARE BY INTERNATIONAL TREATY free to spend a few million on some guns themselves.
It is just not profitable. It's much cheaper to pay the ransoms.
Pirate: I'd like to borrow some money. Banker: For what? Pirate: I'm planning to invest in an unstable pyramid scheme. The return on your investment will be considerable. Banker: That sounds reasonable...
Now, replace Pirate with a large percentage of the western population.
According to the trial, McDonald's coffee was served at a temperature that would cause 3rd degree burns within 2 to 7 seconds, and burns that would require skin grafting in 12 to 15 seconds.
That's the temperature hot coffee has. And yes that is what nearly boiling hot water will do to you. I am amazed you are actually defending a case of someone suing because they are "too stupid to operate hot water".

They don't check for explosives after you left the airplane. They only check for contraband if anything at all.

So get back on the lawn young man!

First part is the correct answer. The second part is really stupid. Ask yourself: Where does wasted energy go?
The answer is that waste energy is heat. Light bulbs are 100% efficient when the heat biproduct is also used.
What do you do if only part of the lights were covered, especially if the parts covered are extensions such as no left-turn? I know it is much to ask, but as minimum, maybe you should Read The Fucking Summary.

The same way paying 92% tax is the government subsidizing you because they could have charged you a 96% tax.
No wait, that's not what subsidy means.
