No. Believe it or not some of us don't need a seperate word for non-Americans in space. Cosmonaut was the Russian word for Astronaut (though I'd still guess its popularization had something to do with the cold war).
Perhaps its popularization had something to do with the fact that Russians were the first to reach space?
Well some light plane *almost* got shot down when approaching Dimona area couple of years ago.
I can certainly imagine some mid-range Soviet commander panicking and ordering it down, despite the identification as civilian aircraft, if it flew above some nuclear base, or similar.
I rarely have memory leaks in my programs. Why? Because I always put the "free" near the "malloc" in my source code. Any program that doesn't do this, even if it happens to work correctly today, has a problem.
So, how long till you finish the highschool, and start writing real programs?
The boards of US companies aren't legally obliged to increase shareholder value; they're obliged to do what they say they'll do in the prospectus.
It's good to know that everyone who posts about how publically traded companies are legally obliged to increase shareholder value, and then goes on some rant, doesn't know what he is talking about.
What's bullshit? I've coded professionally in C++ for about 6 years, and Python for about 6 months. I guarantee you I could code any algorithm quicker in Python then C++. It simply takes a lot less lines to do anything in Python and you spend a lot less time doing non-algorithm related stuff.
Perhaps you are a bad C++ programmer. I guarantee you I could code any algorithm quicker in C++ than you would in Python. What's your TopCoder rating?
Do you think you would have any chance even if armed? I wonder how do you imagine that "gunfight"? Someone screaming and starting shooting at you from a 100ft range?
How old are you? Do you have military experience? Did you ever hold a gun? Fire one? Fire one while moving, on moving targets? That fire at you back?
if you can specify the exceptions to your function via a "throw(int code)" type statement, then do so rather than using a comment.
This will impair the efficiency due to
exception conformancy checks.
Besides, mandatory specification of thrown exceptions for each function is
the Java way, which has already been admitted as a bad decision by Java designers.
Americans use the term CVs as well. Americans with advanced degrees. If you want a seriously nerdy position at google (instead of clerical), you'd do better with a CV instead of a resume.
Ok, moron, especially for you, I cite a mail from Google:
Please submit your resume and course work to us:
That's a mail requesting my resume for a "seriously nerdy" position. Now will you please crawl back to your hole?
In my country (Israel, and I think it's the case in most others), blank ballot's purpose is to write a candidate or a party name on it, if you don't want to use ready ballot, or the booth is out of ballots you need.
In some countries, you can vote for "no one", this is the case for at least Russia. Mandatory voting should include such option, so I guess it's also the case in Greece and Belgium.
Everybody seems to be giving this guy a hard time because he did his research for reading only English.
Almost all of Slashdot audience is absolutely worthless when it comes to real science, but you see - they don't think about themselves that way. They think that they have valuable opinons on such topics, and only with that in mind, do they start to form these opinions.
You have to understand that while you progressed over the years, the audience of this forum remained the same. It's still the same 14-17 years old pretentious kids with no clue, and inner angst stemming from sexual deprivation.
The moment that you realize that Slashdot and similar sites are entirely useless and only suitabe for rare mild amusement will be one of those life-changing moments. Opinions of clueless kids are not important! Whether they agree with you or not is completely irrelevant to anything that matters. Just leave them to themselves.
If you are still in doubt, I suggest you read the recent P/NP thread.
I mean no disrespect to the significance of July 1968 - as Arthur C. Clarke wrote, in 500 years the only thing people may remember about the Unites States will be that event.
Do many americans remember now that USSR was the first to launch man into space?

Such rare comments are the reason I still read slashdot sometimes.

How is this relevant? The ones who decided to take the 747 down were not the pilots.
You obviously don't know much about the political situation in USSR back then.
All these are instances of human error.
My point exactly. Don't know why the grandparent went on such a rant.

Check out Unison File Synchronizer.
It's bi-directional file/directory synchronizer, works over just ssh, cross-platform, very fast.
Extremely useful when you need to keep, say, home and university accounts in sync, or do remote backups.
Not to be too anal (well ok, i admit i like it) but your size of the universe is off.
No, it's not - the OP specifically said observable universe.

This is complete, utter bullshit.
Besides, most TopCoder "reds" code in C++.

No, moron, "Third World" means low labor costs.
Ok, moron, you got me.
What's your education?
Did you read Principia?
