Unfortunately, adding situps to your routine will not do anything to expedite fat loss from your abdominal region any more so than any other type of exercise will. You will build muscle in your abdominal region, and will tone the muscle that is already there, but if it's under flab, it won't be very visible.
Problem is, you don't get to choose where you burn fat. Working muscles in a particular region of the body serves to build those muscles, but does not cause the body to prefer to use fat from that area for energy over another area. You can do ab workouts and burn rear end fat, and you can do butt exercises and burn ab fat.
If an object tree, no matter how large, cannot be traced back to a root object (an object which is directly referenced in the execution path via a variable reference), the whole thing is GCed.
Like the parent says, this is superior to reference counting because these two circularly connected objects would have a reference count > 0 and thus would not be marked for collection.
The Swift Boat allegations ARE mostly untrue. And even that may be generous. They have been thoroughly debunked and the partisan ties and dubious credibility of the members of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (oh, the irony) have been exposed.
So why pay it any more attention than it deserves?
What you are speaking of are 'actual' damages. These are the damages that are supposed to approximate the cost of the damage done.
There are also 'punitive' damages. These are damages that are assessed in addition to the actual damages, usually for aggravating circumstances, and with the intent of punishing the perpetrator (civilly - criminal punishment is a separate issue) and potentially acting as a deterrent.
No, I fully agree. You are the parent to whom I am referring (I simply provided the dictionary def for what you were suggesting)! The original poster was the pedant.:-)
Of course the terrorists aren't expected to be stupid enough to use one of these lockers. The purpose is clearly to act as a deterrent. This theoretically will make it harder to plant a bomb at the statue, when before it would have been relatively easy to place one in a locker.
Now, if they DID happen to be stupid enough to use one even with the scanners, that's just a bonus!
I work for a government contractor working for one of the IT govt. organizations. They've switched over to using biometric scanners for access into their buildings.
When I entered the garage, parked my car, and got on line for the fingerprint scanner, I noticed that most people were using their middle fingers! Then I heard someone mutter to their friend, "Giving [agency] the finger to start the day."
Haha, right! And I suppose the revolving threat of viruses to Lockheed's corporate network that is vulnerable because they are using Microsoft products is cost-free?
This is not a decision that can easily be made by any company via guidance from a bunch of flippant remarks made by armchair quarterback/.ers. This requires a detailed COTS assessment that examines technical and cost aspects of changing platforms.
It's not all too difficult to maintain 10-12 MPH on hills on a bicycle, provided you have a reasonable level of cardiovascular conditioning. And downhills can be done significantly faster - 25-30MPH on a reasonable gradient.
You say those problems will not affect you, but how can you make such a statement with 100% certainty? The long term effects of such groundwater pollution on the very fish that you readily admit to eating won't be immediately known.
Perhaps your perspective on these "scare tactics" will change if (God forbid) you were to be diagnosed with a related form of cancer ten years from now.
If you can make it safe, and economically feasible to launch it into space at all, why even bother sending it into the sun? Once it's been launched, it's safe in the infinite void of space. What's going to happen - accidentally crash into an alien vessel on its way to visit us?:-)
That merely reverses the dilemma. The buyer can claim she never received the item and, in turn, have her money refunded to her.
Instead of the buyer getting screwed by non-delivery of the goods, the seller gets screwed by a false assertion by the buyer!
Unfortunately, buyers must exercise caution when bidding on big ticket items, and when the system fails due to dishonesty, eBay should support the legal recourse taken by the buyer to its fullest capability. Historically, disputes such as these are resolved through the courts.
I used to work for a small government contractor that performed work on SBIRS (Small Business Innovation Research) programs.
It doesn't take a talented staff or a well run company to either win these types of programs or perform work to a sufficient level to keep the customer happy. I should know - the company I worked for had neither quality (myself excepted, of course:)
These programs are small R&D efforts. Most of them go nowhere. The ones that are delivered are usually just put on a shelf and with the contractor given a pat on the back for creating something that will never be used.
Of course - this could be one instance where this will grow into something beyond a SBIR.

It's not up to us.

Now that it's made the /. front page, you can be sure there'll be a whole bunch of fake bids on it in the near future. :-)

As the parent is insinuating:

Gotta love it.

A $10 refund on a $6k monitor. Ouch! :-)
Quite a sight when flying in. You you weren't that much of a dweeb for thinking they would do the same with that rocket.
oops... thanks!
A pure object oriented language along the lines of Smalltalk - expected to see it down there near Smalltalk.
