Unicode seems pretty backwards compatible; have any of the the newer versions overwritten or changed the meaning of older versions (e.g. caused damage)?
Yes. Version 2.0 completely changed the Hangul character set. Korean texts written with Unicode 1.1 were not readable in Unicode 2.0, and vice versa. This was 17 years ago, but note that it was after ISO had accepted version 1.1 as an ISO/IEC standard.
Actually, C does not try to handle pointers at all. It treats them just like a long int (with the appropriate cast) [...].
That's not actually true. First of all, there is no direct connection between the size of pointers and the size of long int. That is platform and implementation dependent. Secondly, at compile-time, pointer arithmetic differs a lot from that of integers. You cannot add two pointers. You can subtract two pointers to the same type (except void); that will give you the number of elements between them, in the ptrdiff_t type. (In theory, that's only possible if the pointers point to the same array, but the compiler can't know if that's true in the general case.) You can add an integer to a non-void pointer. Adding N to a pointer p is the same as &p[N], i.e. you get a pointer to the Nth element.
A simpler solution would be to just let all the genetically engineered, glow-in-the-dark lab animals out in the wild. The roadkill will light up the roads.
Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't a 20kHz sine wave sound less harsh or loud compared to a 20kHz square wave?
It would not. The "harshness" is the overtones (40 kHz, 60 kHz, etc.), which you cannot hear. From a mechanical point of view, no matter how quickly the signal switches from low to high, the hairs in your cochlea are bound by their individual resonant frequencies, which limit their respective frequency ranges.
No, this is getting the cook fired by claiming there is hair in your food, because you spotted an Obama sticker on his car in the parking lot.
Not even close. Eich was not the cook with the power to choose a different amount of pepper; he was the chief executive officer with the power to make the rules that affect all employees, contributors, customers, and possibly even the world's web sites. Eich did not get fired, he was urged by a lot of people to step down, which he finally did.
And I don't even understand what the "hair in your food" is supposed to be an analogy of. Is the hair his contributions to Proposition 8, and the Obama sticker JavaScript?
Odd considering their (Wines) last copyright cockup was entirely due to an internal contributor committing decompiles of Microsoft binaries as contributed code...

There's actually a lot of evidence that sitting down the majority of your awake time (8+ hours) is itself bad for the body, and cannot be made up for with physical exercise. Working a few hours standing up and being mildly active (i.e. taking walks) during free time is better. Of course, one hour spent at the gym is better than one more hour in the couch. I'm just saying that if you have the opportunity to work standing up, it is likely worth a lot more than you think!
Step one is to compare file sizes. Since file sizes need to be identical in order for the files to be identical, and file sizes are already calculated and stored as metadata, this will greatly reduce the time needed.
List all files with their respective sizes.
Sort
For each consecutive file in the list with the same size as the previous file, compare the MD5 hashes.

I wonder why there are so few women on Slashdot. Could it be because of all the idiots who assume Slashdotters are always male, and accuse those who defend women's rights of doing it only to impress women?
Decrease of 150 tons of meat. Global production of meat 180 million tons. 150/180,000,000 - 0.00005%. Decrease in greenhouse gasses: 0.00005*.18 =0.000009%. Get a million of those together and you would have something.
Apart from the "I'm just one person out of 7 billion, so my meat consumption/petrol burning car/operating system choice/vote doesn't have impact" replies one could make, I'd like to point out that they are also showing a lot of young people (mostly men) that a meal doesn't have to contain meat. It is quote possible that these men will eat less meat (on average) during their lifetimes, influencing their families' consumption, and so on.
Well, the bible sold a lot of copies, and though it's just one book - its writers *definitely* needed a continuity advisor, and the lack of one is clearly evident in the bible.
The Bible is not one book. It's a compilation of several books.
Sweden's FRA spying law, nobody could quite figure out why Sweden did that in 2008
While it's no secret that the Swedish government (unlike the Swedish people) acts as the US's lapdog, the FRA law allows only spying on data that crosses the border. FRA has no right to stored data, or data that travels only within the country's borders. If you believe they do PRISM-like spying, then you have no reason to believe the FRA law was necessary in the first place.
And you might be right, because the military more or less admitted they were already doing everything that the FRA law would later allowed them to. Also, I'm pretty sure my Gmail is stored abroad, which means FRA may read everything I get sent to me.
That would require quite a large leap in time though. Star Trek is set in the 23th century and later; Star Wars is set "a long long time ago". Well, not counting for all the time travelling that goes on in Star Trek...
"Ma" and "pa" are such basic sounds made by babies (called "Lallwörter", babble words) that parents all over the world associate them with themselves. See Wikipedia article on "Mama and papa"
Sometimes the father is not known or wants nothing to do with the mother. Are they still forced to take parental leave? Is the mother penalised if they don't?
No one is forced to take days off. You get a pool of 480 days off (with ~80% pay). Of those, a certain amount can only be used by the father, if one is registered. The rules are (to my knowledge) gender neutral, and work more or less the same for cases where the children are adopted, or the parents are gay.
They've had at lest three weddings that I can think of, although the only one that ended with the couple actually being wedded was Amy and Kif's. (Yes, Fonfun Ru counts!)

How about this then? From http://www.scorpioncomputerservices.com/whoweare.html:
That's production quality.

You do not RC. The real Rubik's cube has always used stickers. Only recently have Rubik's started manufacturing cubes with coloured plastic sides.

I can refute this trivially within my own household.
Haha! Good one :-D Refuting a small-sample study with an anecdote, classic!

People like you are why so many myths go undispelled. Things that are "fucking obvious" may still be illusions.

You're right, laws and rules don't work because they can be broken, and since they can be broken they're worthless. So let's not have any at all.
Well, the bible sold a lot of copies, and though it's just one book - its writers *definitely* needed a continuity advisor, and the lack of one is clearly evident in the bible.

No, that's not how it works. You still get aliasing – unless you lowpass filter the signal before sampling it.
Freedom or nannying, you get to pick just one.
Freedom or nannying.
Meat or vegetables.
Christian or Muslim.
Coffee or tea.
With us, or against us.
Black or white.
Never a greyscale or a third option to be seen.
Or, you know, maybe treat all your employees and coworkers with respect.
