    I always wondered how the people who had their cars done on "Overhaulin'" or "Pimp My Ride" got insurance...

    No, Burt Reynolds had the black Trans-Am. I think it was Dom DeLuise's character that had the ambulance.

    In C? Assuming low and high are unsigned
    (low >> 1) + (high >> 1) + (low & high & 1).

    If low and high are unsigned, then (low + high)/2 is well defined, because unsigned arithmetic is defined as modular.

    I believe the .gov (of your choice) tells us, "If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear."

    Given that official line, the Us.gov and the UK.gov's reactions are quite telling...

    Snowden wouldn't go to Germany. I'm sure they have an extradition treaty with the US, and Germany hasn't granted him asylum.

  19. Re: War on nuts on 87-Year-Old World War II Veteran Takes On the TSA · · Score: 2

    I'd like to address this, as I have personal experience.

    First of all, nut allergies are not caused by crazy overprotective parents (yes, I know he didn't say that, but it was kind of implied). When our daughter was 4, she ate some pecan turtles, and swelled up like a balloon. We took her to the doctor who tested her and said, "Nut allergy".

    Second, nut allergies can be deadly. Anaphlactic shock can kill someone fairly quickly.

    Third, I never tried to regulate what other kids brought to school for *their* lunch. My only request -- stated to the teacher and to other parents -- was that if they are bringing goodies *to share with the class*, that they avoid nuts in such items.

    As for the "no nut/peanut zones" in schools, I think they're CYA for the schools.

    Read PJ's final post. She shut down as a direct result of the Lavabit situation.

    She relied heavily on email for communication with sources, and because she couldn't guarantee the security of her communications with them, shut down.
