It takes 450-odd Mb of RAM to just sit at a clean, freshly installed desktop.
FTFA:
While nearly half the RAM being consumed without actually doing anything useful may be concerning it's not actually a big deal. Microsoft claim that Windows 7 (and Vista too, but its success is arguable) pre-loads parts of programs it expects you to use.
I guess 3.14 leaves open the possibility of truncation and the existence of digits after the 4 (especially since that is a common occurrence with decimals) while 22/7 seems unarguably final.
Give me a break. SQL Injection is much more widely known than XKCD and the whole concept of SQL injection dates back to before XKCD even existed. It is folly to assume every time a joke like this is made, XKCD is the source.
Hi,
I didn't how else to contact you but I was hoping you could point me to a specific code example I saw on your "Table Oriented Programming" geocities website. I found it a long time ago but now I just can't seem to track it down. It was showing how complicated OOP could be by designing a class to print out the names and slogans of different OS's (BSD, Linux, Windows NT, etc.) I think it moved from a simple if-else statement to many class types and polymorphism.
Also, are there any TOP books or websites you reccomend?
-Thanks

Oh boo hoo! Are you the author of the comic or something? There's something called collective knowledge. Everybody intermingles other people's work into their own. Having to attribute a phrase like that would just be tiresome and severely mitigate it's fluid usage and appeal. Do people credit Dawkins whenever they use the word 'meme'?
I didn't consider whether his native language was English or not because it doesn't matter. Everyone should appreciate an opportunity to learn and improve themselves. Hopefully, the original poster learned something from my correction. If I was speaking in Spanish I would love for native speakers to correct me.
I admit that English is a fluid language, making it awkward to correct authoritatively. Heinlein dropped the use of "the" in the book The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. However, this style is non-standard and I think it is jarring for native speakers. Anyone learning English would be advised to learn the proper use of articles.
You're just a jerk.
What I wrote was unnecessarily insulting. I don't normally act like this. You can't know I'm a jerk for sure.
It is none of your business how I decide to spend my day or what I decide to do with my computer.
The grandparent did say his post was tongue in cheek, so I think the tone of that sentence is overly antagonistic. Being that we that all share the same Earth and that anyone's impact on the environment has the potential to affect everyone else it is perfectly legitimate to question the actions of others when they produce unnecessary pollution and strain on the environment.
These spaces aren't public-they're paid for with private money by private companies (or their shareholders). Why is there a feeling of wrong doing here? They can do whatever they want with their own servers and websites.
This study must be from a long time ago. There's no way it would pass ethics clearance if it was being done to actual children who would be made to unknowingly participate in a potentially detrimental study.
Thank you for that! I don't often post in this way but your story really made me laugh so I had to register my appreciation. Is this considered comment spam?
# Saying if it was up to him, woman have no right to control their own bodies
I keep hearing this on slashdot and I don't understand why people keeping stating it. You didn't mention that they issue is not at all "can woman do whatever they want to their own bodies". That would be absurd. No sane person who is anti-abortion would be against a woman getting her toungue pierced. The issue is that some people feel that an unborn baby is just as much a human as anyone else. If you feel this way then it is obvious that you wouldn't consider a baby to be just part of a woman's body and the killing of unborn babies wrong just like it would be for killing a fully grown person.
But its award-winning design isn't all that makes iMac a best-seller. Beneath its jaw-dropping exterior, iMac is a rocket of a computer. Its PowerPC G3 processor, integrated 3D graphics accelerator, and 6MB of video memory make it lightning fast.
How can you trust the sites figures after they say this? The whole description is just too funny.

So to does steel contain iron; but it would be appropriate to compare the two.

Unused RAM is not doing anything for you.

Using 22/7 gives the grievously wrong impression that Pi is a rational number.
100% increase means that it doubles the original amount of power output. That's not impossible. Even tripling (200% increase) may be possible in time.

But the article makes us believe that due to changes on the earth's surface, matter here is not as useful as that on the moon.
You need a definite article in front of those nouns. Please learn English properly for the sake of everyone.

Interesting that the driving instructions link goes to mapquest instead of Yahoo Maps. I have found Yahoo Maps to be better too.
