How can you loose a phone while showing it off to all your friends in a bar?
Its already been knocked off in China so whats the big deal?
Can I have one?
And how can you not ask at the bar you were in if they found your phone for over 24 hours? Unless you wanted somebody to "find" it.
And WTF is a guy with a commercially secret document/plad/prototype on his person doing hanging around in a drinking establishment? It should have been Office -> car -> home -> car -> office
Actually I can't see why that secret prototype should ever have left the office.
No. If they were to rename the decimal prefixes they would have to call it peDEbyte. Bi stands for binary after all. Incidently, pede is French for "gay" in the sense of homosexual.
This will never work (for me!). Because people (just me!) use their cars continually, never stopping for long enough to get a charge. Everybody is a road nomad, a street shark...
If the cars have to be magnetic anyway, and the road has to deliver energy through magnetism, why not go the full way and make the cars maglev units, and have the car just communicate to the road the intended movement. OK, that would be super expensive, but so would your solution, and the individual maglev solution would at least give you an advantage (more efficiency due to reduced friction; also, you could easily prevent people going over the speed limit by the street simply ignoring any command to go faster).
Fortunately charging a car wouldn't need a 100kW microwave. Both because you don't need 100kW (unless you are in a hurry of charging your car, but then, I'm not sure the battery would take that anyway), and because you'd not use microwaves to do it (after all, you don't have to remote-charge your car; instead you'd put it directly onto the charger).
One of my least fofourite has to be GNU style. I don't know how the fuck stallman came up with the braindead idea to put the braces halfway between the previous and current indent level, but it drives me crazy.
Probably because of a literal translation of the logical structure of C:
The if statement takes exactly one substatement which you normally indent:
if (condition)
statement;
Now the {} form is just a compound statement where you generally indent the statements in between relative to the braces, like this:
{
statement1;
statement 2; }
Now insert the second into the first, and you immediately get:
if (condition)
{
statement1;
statement2;
}
Of course a literal translation would also lead to things like
if (cond1)
statement1; else
if (cond2)
statement2;
else
if (cond3)
statement3;
else
statement4;
which I guess even Stallman would instead write as
Had to google it, only to find out that this is the style I already use (except that the Wikipedia displays it with indent levels of 4, while I use indent levels of 2):-)
There are reasons for no more than 80 characters per line beyond terminal sizes. Those are the same reasons why newspapers divide their pages in columns instead of making the text go from the left to the right of their page. It is that humans are not good at parsing too long lines.
Even with such a coding style, your regexp will miss some occurrences because a coding style doesn't magically prevent typos violating it. First, I'd *never* use a regex to catch assignments in ifs. The compiler can do it much more accurately than any regex I could think of. But if I'd use regexes for catching assignments in ifs, I'd use if *(.*=[^=]. That's far more reliable and doesn't depend on the amount of whitespace you might put on your if. And yes, I do put a single whitespace between the if and the opening parenthesis. But I would never want to depend on it, because it is more easily omitted that the second "=" of "==".
What version of Emacs are you using? For me, Ctrl+K only deletes the part of the line following the cursor. Unless the cursor is at the end of the line, in which case it appends the next line to it.
I'd say the correct solution would be to have code search in addition to textual search. The IDE should know by itself that if (a == b) means the same as if( a==b ) or even if/* for some strange reason */ (/the variable named */ a/* happens to be */ ==/* yeah, you guessed it */ b/* oh, really? */).
Probably because the measurement data from Russia or China would not be too useful. Note the following bit from the summary (emphasis by me): "So NOAA made an agreement with the government of Germany to borrow a Meteosat Weather Satellite as a backup and drift it over from Europe to provide weather coverage for the US's Eastern seaboard in the event of an early GOES failure."
Google's results aren't exactly good these days, and they've proven themselves to be far more at the chaotic evil end of the spectrum when it comes to personal data.
And let's face it, nobody knows about DuckDuckGo.
I guess the name isn't exactly helpful in convincing users to use it. But then, I think nobody knows about Startpage either.

If you can afford such a monitor, you also can afford a separate graphics card.
Actually, 2560x1920 would be better. But apparently more people use their laptops to watch videos than to do work.
Wouldn't it be great if just one company controlled everything so that... no wait.
Are you thinking of iTER? :-)
So maybe the ITER scientists should sell ring tones for funding?
You're right. My laptop came with Ubuntu preinstalled, but no installation CD.

Given how incomplete the stored sites are, I guess most of the data is stored on /dev/null.

Is there another meaning of "gay"?
No, -h always takes the largest applicable unit. Thus it would report 9 Petabytes. No wait, 8 Petabytes, because it always rounds down.
You probably wouldn't have gotten a palindrome. Instead, you'd be even more angry for having missed the palindrome even more closely.

His wife's race?

You never sleep? Or do you drive while sleeping?
For solar power stations, inefficiency translates into more area of solar cells needed to power the thing. Which isn't free either.

Yeah, that's why I never use any lamps. They emit electromagnetic radiation of hundreds of terahertz, much higher frequency than mobile phones.

Agree fully. But the mediocre programmers still have to figure out the resulting error messages :)
Yeah, it's a shame that concepts didn't make it into C++11. That would finally have allowed sane error messages for templates.
I'd say the correct solution would be to have code search in addition to textual search. The IDE should know by itself that if (a == b) means the same as if( a==b ) or even if /* for some strange reason */ ( /the variable named */ a /* happens to be */ == /* yeah, you guessed it */ b /* oh, really? */).
