In all of 0.5 seconds i came up with this: "A global computer network."
People all know the word 'A' but probably couldn't tell you if it is an article or a noun. People understand global. To the stupidest it means big, to the educated.. well they should know damn well what the internet is. Computer. You know that thing that beeps and bops and plays games and downloads porn. Network. That thing you build up when you politic.. except this time its for computers.
We did pythagorous and such in grade 8 and trigonometry in grade 9. I'm in BC. The british questions were a simple matter of geometry. The chinese test was a more complicated test.. but we did much of that geometry in grade 10. I can't really vouch for how hard of a question it may be.. because it's all simple compared to grad level.. but the rules and foundations needed to solve these are clearly laid before grade 11. Also.. i was the first year to undergo the new "revised" math curriculum. They moved much from grade 12 into grade 11 etc.. and grade 12 was filled up with a lot of discrete math and simple stats.
In canadian terms the british test is about grade 8 or grade 9 and the chinese one is about grade 10 maybe 11. Definitely not grade 12. I remember doing similar stuff in grade 6/7 but we didn't use any trig functions. But then again french immersion pwns english immersion in canada.
Actually if you look at a layout of the plates, you'll find that it is all within the "north american plate". I would still worry about earthquakes but the focus of such quakes will be a few hundred km's to the south at the least.
Actually i think that could make very useful terminology. Please please publish a paper so that we can all start using those words:D I'm not kidding either. Calling 3 dimensions 'time' is just not very fun.
So why not call it a tie because C++ will need to/is currently plucking some of the more practical functional ideas just as C++ borrowed certain ideas of OOP from smalltalk et al. Python has borrowed some nice things such as haskell's list comprehensions but it also has generators etc (but no lazy evaluation).
No, the implementation is not purely functional.. but what allows the massive parallelism are the ideas and techniques from a functional programming language! In the paper google describes unprocessed chunks.. that's pretty much what a thunk is (unevaluated statement). But they also state the map and reduce functions themselves are written in c++. It's not pure, but it is functional... So we'll call it a tie.
Tim Sweeny of Epic has a pdf floating around. Basically a game can be divided into 3 groups. Shading (using shader language), numeric computations (functional) and then game state/logic. He quoted 500 Gflops for shading, 5 gflops for numerics, and 0.5 for game state/logic. Shading is a solved problem as far as concurrency is concerned. THe numeric computation uses the most cpu, that is mostly small numerical jobs for things like checking collisions and can be parallelized and done functionally. The game static/logic and scripting were said to be best done in c++/scripting. That is the part you won't really thread but you could use STM if needed.
The CBC has been pretty good about open standards and open source. I, along with over 70k other people, download the 1 hour free podcasts showcasing canada's independant music. These podcasts come in OGG format too! Recently they started a second podcast and a track of the day feature. The french canadian (bap.fm) also has an hour of free music per week mostly showcasing montreal area and french canadian music.
The solution of course is to package computers like dell does with windows. "Linux Printing" is actually a lot easier to get working than windows printing IFF you buy from a brand like HP or Samsung who actually have drivers. Windows printers have bitten me in the ass... especially the networked ones. Everyone else has problems. MS bloatware does have its problems too. This is why if Dell bothered to make sure that it is "Linux Compatible"(tm) then we'd pretty much be in the same boat.
I think the OP was trying to make the comment that people have knee jerk reactions. A lot of the reactions are stupid and the priorities have been inverted. These things have caused a lot of problems on their own. Politicians like to make pronouncements about how they'll fix the system. Almost 100% of the time this is just propaganda because what they really believe or what the experts really support "doesn't have a nice ring to it". Security is an obvious one. People are giving up freedoms with no real benefit. Billions and billions have been spent (trillions if you count Iraq) in the name of security and freedom. Lawyers have a lot of blame to take as well. If you fart in your neighbours general direction you could end up in court and successfully sued. The law system is broken. Justice is not often just. The massive beaurocracy has evolved as a defense to this. No one is responsible for anything because they can all hide behind this massive organization. Government works like that.
Time to make a plug for the best independant music radio station in the world. They already have 1 long running podcast.. over 70,000 downloads per week and they just started up 2 more. Best yet it comes in OGG format too:D.

HTML and CSS are quite capable of rendering and displaying webpages. What happens with a simple thing like a file header showing page number and author name. Footers with footnotes? How about dealing with table of contents etc. How would a page in a document be broken down? Anyone who's tried to print HTML knows there are many issues with layout. What's sad though is that even HTML and CSS is not supported the same in all browsers.
I'm a latex junkie. Latex though is a PITA to create templates and styles for. Someone willing to take up the task to modernize latex or completely replace it?

Just a guess but if you draw the light cones.. it's probably in absolute past.
Same goes for canada. Funny you say comic relief.. because for a while there we took your dollar very seriously! :P
Otherwise you end up with a python console!

More like 2002. Calculus is an AP class. It's basically calc 1 and some calc 2 but done "high school level".

The only thing you proved is that voters are stupid.

The CBC has been very responsive to complaints, comments, etc. Check it out at http://radio3.cbc.ca/podcasting/podcastplaylist.a
thanks for the mirror because we just exploded their servers!

From the blog:
For those who don't speak ancient google translated it to be:
9 000 feet = 2 743.2 meters

pencils, crayons, glue, paper, lego...
Hmm. 212F sounded a lot larger to me too. I only know metric.
