You know what's even better than this at easing traffic congestion? Bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and a reduction in sprawl. Algorithmic solutions like this will not be nearly as effective.
This. Something like 1/3rd of the baby's blood is in the cord. Unless there' a medical reason to cut the cord immediately, just leave it alone for 15 mins.
I'm rather shocked at the lack of comments supporting (or not even mentioning) this option....
Presumably by that point, he has a family and friends who are willing to take care of him. *That*s how you properly save for retirement. Putting money into the slot machine that we call the stock market is no guarantee, it's simply one possibility. Building a local community, however, is a much better bet.
The pesticide is a seed coating? How frequently do bees come into contact with seeds that are planted? Is this one of those studies where they drench a bee in a thousand times its normal exposure and the bee dies? Or does this residue actually stay on the plant through its entire life and affect the bee?
The pesticide in question is called a "systemic pesticide". Those are a new class of pesticides that are taken up into the plant itself (rather than simply coating the outside of the plant). Insects die as they eat the plant that contains this pesticide. Of course, the pesticide doesn't just get into the leaves and stem; it gets into the nectar and pollen as well. Honeybees (and other pollinator insects) drink the nectar, and feed the pollen to their developing young. In this way, they consume the pesticide. It not only affects adult bees, but larvae that are being fed the pollen.
Honey bees don't hibernate. They overwinter, but they stay awake the entire time, clustering together to keep the queen warm.
Oh, and you'll only find females in the winter; in the fall, all of the males are forcefully ejected from the hive, left to freeze (or starve) to death in the elements.
I realize your post was humor, but as a beekeeper, I'm allowed to be pedantic when people say incorrect things about honey bees.:p
Nah, cast. Surely they were referring to changing pointer types. Hindus who perform type-safe casting tend to look down upon those who use unsafe casts.
You know, I was going to mention the time I spilled a screwdriver on my powerbook (dried orange juice reeks something awful), and then took it apart to clean it out.. and killed it. But then I read your post, and realized that my worst computing mistake was the same.
I bought a Dell Inspiron 3800 (laptop) a while back. It has the flakiest keyboard I've ever experienced. There's absolutely nothing more frustrating than having keys mysteriously stop working while you're trying to work. It was completely inconsistent, so I'd think it fixed itself, and then it would start again. I replaced the keyboard (twice); and it still had the same problem. About a year ago, I received notice of a class action lawsuit regarding the keyboards in Inspirons. Unfortunately, they were only giving around $70 or so to consumers who bought the laptops. I spent way more on the two keyboards.
Nice troll. I work on debian packages (hell, I even made InterMezzo packages, but the filesystem is far too unstable to be put into debian), and my first thought was, "I should package this."
I don't know about the rest, but sistina was happy enough to take my modifications to LVM (which were actual rewrites of ugly code, not bugfixes). Whether or not they're violating the GPL all depends on whether any 3rd parties have contributed code (and don't agree to the relicensing) that hasn't been rewritten by sistina.
it's actually avifile which he speaks of. avifile is a lib, that can comes w/ avifile, and can be used by other thing (such as xmps or xmms) to play avis.. aviplay is a QT-based player that utilizes the library. it, of course, included with avifile. i'm not sure whether it's supposed to be more than just an example of HOW to use libavifile (i got the impression that it wasn't), but it's definitely the most featureful avi player available.
w/ wine and the dll, anything is possible. look at how avifile handles divx; it lets the dlls handle the video encoding/decoding. whether it's legal or not, however, is the question you should be asking. the divx dlls are basically freeware; what's the licensing on the dlls used to handle the formats you're talking about?

Much better than, "Hey, let's refuse to do business with Cubans!"
Lighten up, dumbass.
*PLEASE* stop writing shitty flash interfaces that are *COMPLETELY UNINTUITIVE*.
Thank you.
Yea, once sarge is finally released...
./
Anyways, in the meantime, here's xorg compiled for sarge:

I'm another DD who is a lazy, procrastinating bastard. I haven't even begun reading platforms yet. I do intend to vote before the deadline, however.
Also, thank you for the heads up on the plans for sparc porters; I will distance myself from sparc work, for fear of being sold into slavery.

Much hate for Dell..

Bah, maybe if you went to a _real_ school.. ;)
They forgot all about ORBZ, run by a friend of mine. It's not the same as ORBZ, the uk ORBS-fork.

Did I word that badly or something? A lot of people seem to have gotten that impression..
