not a problem at all, would be glad I got more than my money's worth. only an idiot looks into the beam or points it at reflective surface. please post link where I can get 50mW laser for price of 5mW, in green and blue. thanks!
start using google and "google"-containing words with completely generic meanings. e.g. "I used twelve search engines but couldn't find anything in all of google-dom" "I googled my way through my homework using yahoo search", etc.
those are two different things. Judaism is a religion, not a race. There are plenty of semites who are not of the jewish faith, there have been groups of people who were not semites but of jewish faith
wrong. it matters not whether any algorithm is used to make a physical object to be patent protected. the law has already decided the criteria, your sophistries are of no import
wireless mice can become lodged in your throat if you try to swallow them! they can cause rectal tears if inserted into the anus! oh my god, we must ban those dangerous things!
history in industrialized age proves you wrong, paper currencies quickly inflate and go to zero in value while gold at least performs as holding store of value Gold continues to be valuable for millennia while paper and the countries and empires that made them rise and fall. Here in the USA gold held for a hundred years would outdo inflation adjusted dollars, but that's just a bad statement of our banking system's ability to even manage fiat currency, as they are thieves of wealth.
how else would they make money but by advertising? you voluntarily use google and they make you part of advertisers market. simple as that. don't like it, don't play. but they owe you nothing, cutting off a free service doesn't constitute being evil, just sensible.
You're like the person in old story who had a rich man come to the front door with $1,000 every month. the person was happy and said "thank you" each time. One day the rich man went to the person's neighbor instead of his house, and gave the neighbor $1,000. The person was angry, and yelled "Hey, where is my money!!??" Do you see the issue now? *You* are the one being an asshole and an ingrate. You were given something good free of charge for years, and now can only bitch.
opining that it's "great way to follow multiple websites" is of no relevance. it is NOT the way the two plus billion internet users do things. it ever was only a niche technology used by the geeky, including you, geek.
you forgot to add your posts to your logical-OR'd list. thanks for providing positive reinforcement to slashdot's behavior by posting and keeping the article threads alive.
google users are the *product* for google's advertising revenue. google doesn't owe anyone free service, it does owe its customers (advertisers) market large enough to be viable. google will axe those things that have too few users, as they should. most people doesn't use RSS, it's obscure geeky thing
oh, and should that string object only support the unicode encodings, or also the extremely popular character encodings that have been in use in countries for decades that all their systems currently use? what if a country has proposed a better unicode set than what the standards committee rammed down their throat?
software is just a pile of algorithms. allowing patenting of math and logic is a very bad idea. we have copyright instead to protect specific written works of software, that's all that's needed as long as the copyright period isn't too long. 17 or 25 years is plenty.
not slowly dying if it's sold on multi-million dollar big iron that's used by banks, larger cities, insurance companies, etc. products that are used by places with IT budget in the tens of millions of dollars just aren't always on the radar of popular IT culture. just like the nonStop OS which also runs on the same hardware as OpenVMS, popular with stock exchanges, big cities, banks
bullshit, that's just a multicellular-egocentric view of things. real evolution means fitness to survive as environment changes. look at how this largest part of the planet's ecosystem is impervious to drought, earthquake, extreme weather. even if man's weapons were to completely destroy all life on the surface and that swimmin in the seas, most life on earth would continue, and might even again spawn some multicellular throwbacks to live on the surface again.

rinse and repeat, pt barnum was right
maybe if they made a Guitar Hero version of that, kids everywhere would be able to do that...

yes, you can. I know people that have recently done so for their holography hobbies

you can buy old used guns for around $25 (e.g. little .32acp and .22LR pistols, old bolt action .22 short rifles)....what's your point?
yeah so very sad we can no longer buy laser pointers online powerful enough to bore holes through solid materials....oh wait, you can

downstream treatment can be very simple though, appropriate filter, heating to high enough temp for appropriate time but without boiling, etc.
some of the discussion of string's classes had to do with those issues. in the end not much made of it other than some utf classes
oh, and should that string object only support the unicode encodings, or also the extremely popular character encodings that have been in use in countries for decades that all their systems currently use? what if a country has proposed a better unicode set than what the standards committee rammed down their throat?

instead of verbose vagueness need to have lists of comparisons between standard libraries and boost. is this author practicing to be paid by the word?
