Except VB6 is not a central tenant of any religion that I have ever heard of.
I'm torn between pointing out that if you'd actually got an education you wouldn't have tried to use a word (tenet) that you've never seen in print and probably don't know the exact meaning of, and just snarkily retorting that choice of programming language leads to wars which are indeed of religious fervor.
Unless, of course, you meant that VB6 lives inside a religion. Besides, the real war is whether you use vi or emacs to edit your VB6 code.
A couple examples: the slang for rides in NYC is "yellow" for a taxi and "black" for a limo. The limos can pick anyone up but AFAIK can only charge a fixed fee for a given destination. Taxis are metered for time and distance (w/ airport exceptions).
Here in the Boston area, limos are fixed-fee either per hour or per location (airports again), and are barred from being flagged down--they're reservation-only. Taxis can be flagged, but I think they are not allowed to pick *anyone* up if they are outside their designated geographic zone. E.g. pick up in Boston, deliver to Worcester, but not allowed to pick up any ride in Worcester.
So part of the big question is: is Uber a taxi service or a limo service?
The power for the smelter is supplied by hydro dams.
Is this for a newly constructed dam? Is there water available that would otherwise NOT be used to generate electricity?
I'm not taking a position on the power-neutrality of these batteries, but would like to point out that one of the real-world problems with all of our electrical power plants is that they are very difficult to load-balance. If we could set up an "on-demand" aluminum re-smelter which operates only when grid-demand for electricity drops, the power plant could be run at a steady level 24/7.
Hate to turn something funny into a serious note, but I'm pretty sure a lot (if not most) of the comments on the internet can already be predicted just by looking at the headline.
So I guess "I, for one, welcome our star-eating star overlords" is right out?
I bought a Kobo Aura, quite similar to the Nook Glow or the Kindle Paperwhite in functionality. E-ink touch screen, excellent backlight for nightime reading, has an SD slot, WiFi connectivity, etc.
It does (or did when I bought it) command a bit of a price premium, but it Just Works (TM).

Oh, c'mon, really? You know dang well that Windows tends to stop users from doing anything .

So, what you're saying is, due to the untimely death of Keith Moon, we DID get fooled again?

jenny?
I've got your number, it's 867-530.....shit I was put under anesthesia as a child and now I cannot remember the last digit.
Ahhhh, c'mon now: you only have 10 numbers to try. How hot is jenny anyway that you'd give up so easily?
If only the Red Viper had a more punch-resistant face, eh?
ummm... some of us never developed a WHOOOOOOSH detector either, apparently.
(I see what I did there in the title).
If this made sense at all, after a few rounds of Rochambeau v. 2 , we'd all have developed a massive testicular protection layer too.

Doesn't have the same ring to it.

And to this day I wonder why Homer's inventor-friend didn't just add a couple Zener diodes to his design to handle signal overload conditions.
I swear that if Apple reintroduced the pet rock as the iRock it would sell a few billion units
But would the rock have rounded corners?
Just imagine a Beowulf cluster.... oh, never mind.
On the subject of Beowulf clusters: now that Tolkien's translation is available, do we need a new stupid /. meme?
Just checking in to remind everyone not to use this gadget in the great city of Boston, MA
Actually, the greeks invented the symbol being held as IP.
You got dyslexic there :-)
What is exercised the most becomes the strongest.
Sadly, about half the population has learned they have one muscle which never gets stronger (or bigger) no matter how much they exercise it.
OK, I'll stop with the Jr. High School humor.

I thought all editions of Windows XP deserved the monicker POS?
(Note to the humor-impaired: Chill out, dude. At least I'm not making jokes about your pretend girlfriend, right?)
My pretend girlfriend runs ON Windows XP - sigh.
FTFY (smirk)
So, the real application of this monitor is to train yourself to beat a polygraph test, right?
I'd be even more shocked if a bunch of mathematicians had the good sense to pick a Google searchable name for their language
You young punks have any idea by how many years R precedes the existence of google (or even alta vista)? Same goes for the c language, FWIW.
*Note: Worked in several restaurants during and after high school. Now I occasionally cook or make deserts at home.
We have enough arid lands already, you insensitive clod!
So being clothed and provocative is OK, but being nude (and potentially not provocative) isn't?
What if you jump the Mediterranean: can you be forced to delete all pictures of your ex in which she's not wearing a full hijab?
Turns out they're using the same key as the old DVD players. You can get that from the usual sources, including a few slashposters' signature lines.
Saying power is energy is like saying speed is distance.
But we all know Time is Money.
And speed is measured in parsecs.
Not to mention mass in eV .
