Absolutely. There are ways around the problem that top management claims exists, i.e. that every manager will claim his group is better than the other groups (which is why they believe in small-group stack ranking). It takes a lot of effort, and a dedication to cross-team performance evaluations, root-cause analysis as to why one team may have had better schedule or cost performance than another, but it could be done. But given that most corporations consider it a workplace violation for peons to exchange salary information, don't hold yr breath.
Well, since we're coming up w/ " tau/2 - in the sky" alternatives, how's about convincing that other site to add a "/s" subdomain alongside the existing "/r" subdomain. Move slashdot non-beta there lock, stock,& barrel.
Here's an alternate "theory" . The asteroid isn't made up of two merged blobs: it's going all cellular division on us and is in the process of asexual reproduction. This takes a long time, what with rock being somewhat stiffer than amoebas and all.
I know you're overloaded, and maybe "helping" your kids on homework is about theonly chance you get to interact with them, but if they really truly need your input for more than 5-10 minutes per week, there's something seriously wrong with either them or the teachers' expectations of their abilities.
Seriously, when did we start quesitoning every little method just because we "think" we know better despite the obvious fact we are not all doctors.../rant
Aside from annoying everyone else w/ your scentochronometer, it's a waste of resources. Repackage into a nose-piercing and it'll be both more economical and better targeted.
Still incredibly stupid, but heck, the guy who invented Pet Rocks got rich. So if they'll buy it, you should build it.
I'm not sure a 'cable' is the right thing, but yes, that's the way to do it.
(Some sort of 'tube' that people can use to go from one side to the other is much more sensible)
So long as we're designing crazy stuff, I would stick with a couple redundant cables and some transfer cars which crawl along the cable. No reason to build a human-rated tube that long.
Admit it: If you had an AI-smartphone like this, then no matter how much you liked Ms. Johannsen's voice, at some point you'd scroll down to "Pick a Voice" and switch to, oh, I dunno, Kim_K or Paris_H or/.'s favorite HotGritsGirl. You know you would.
I thought Frankenstein was an Edgar Winters Group song.
Which was specifically so-named because they spliced so many bits of different takes that it reminded them of the original monster. So they got it wrong (monster vs. creator) too.
Meanwhile: if the Grand Canyon is a result of merged gouge events, clearly it's evidence of Intelligent Eroding!
"==" is normally used for value or reference equality, and that's an "is-a" relationship. You'd want something like instanceof (that's Java, but many other languages have equivalents).
Fair enough.

Can't do? Then it ain't a language. Calling computer code "language" is just a convention to make colloquial speech easier.
No, at least according to Occam's browser plugin which states that any scientific theory first proposed in the comment section of a website is probably complete crap.
Or in this case, the second one, which follows herein forthwith.
Maybe black holes distort gravity severely but end up distorting space so badly they twist it right 'round where it was, essentially making the black holes invisible but appearing to have mass. Hey! I discovered what all the Dark Matter is! (waits for Nobel Committee to call...)

Ok, then, post a single article with 300 words to twitter. There are lots of things I dislike about FB, not the least of which is that 95% of the margin ads feature amply endowed young females regardless of the product in question, but at least I can post a complete paragraph plus a pic or two in one element.

No, not really. I mean, gosh, who cares.
Here's an alternate "theory" . The asteroid isn't made up of two merged blobs: it's going all cellular division on us and is in the process of asexual reproduction. This takes a long time, what with rock being somewhat stiffer than amoebas and all.

Do you know who Fourier was? Do you really think he was just "delusional"?
I would have said he's more like "transformational," but yeah that was a different Mr. Fourier.
'Death Shark?'
With deep apologies to the author of a great autobiographical account of autism:
" The Reason I Jump the [death] Shark"
Two sharks, one to carry a laser, one to carry a mirror ball.
and One Shark To Rule Them All.
Hmmm... I think I'll open up a theme park called "AquaMordor."
Post the code in question to The Daily WTF .
THEN start looking for a new job.
Weapon Shop guns. They'll only fire in self-defense.
Dunno...I think I'd rather have a Lazy Gun myself.
If nothing else, they're much more amusing to see in action.
also, library's kick ass.
libraries.
It horrifies me that someone who likes libraries can't spell "libraries".
Now, be kind, maybe he just left out a "the." Then the contraction was properly used for "library is." Add the necessary hyphen, and
"Also, the library [of Congress] is kick-ass."
You also forgot:
Ned Stark dies.
So does Brody.
So does Macbeth.

Do I really need to say "you must be new here" ?

His Software Wetware Freeware Realware series is way classier.

Agreed. I far prefer roseate north.

Kentucky: English Language = Foreign Language
No no no: Kentucky: Computing language == Foreign Language. Might as well get it right from the start.
