Dude, if you don't know the answer don't just guess. The extra day makes him eligible for time off for good behavior, so he'll likely get out early. Sheesh.
"There's a lot of doctors who tell me, I better start slowing it down.
But there's more old drunks than there are old doctors so I guess we'd better have another round."
The patent isn't the important part of the story. If they applied for a patent then they probably already have the means to do this. That's the scary part.
Our food was healthier? They didn't make you read The Jungle in high school?
Healthier, except for the piles of rat droppings and human remains.
Our food today has slightly fewer human remains in it, so that technically is progress.
What? No. Templates are not what any language calls duck typing. Templates help with generic programming, duck typing helps with dynamic types and type inference. These two things are related ( I guess ) but not the same.
I'm gonna go ahead and agree with management that maintainability is more important than any other factor. Having had to maintain a few ancient codebases is my day, I've seen way too many "clever" coders that do ridiculous tricks to save time or space. Well designed (read: maintainable) code does not imply any significant performance hit.

As usual, ask yourself what Willie would do.
Huh, I always the ring was a knock-off from the end of Stargate. (movie, not series)

Hah, good rule! And yeah, also waiting.
Keep your distance, but don't look like you're keeping your distance.

But only for using Ask Slashdot as a means to brag about buying a penthouse in Manhattan.
What? A lie that helps is a helpful lie. An idea's helpfulness has nothing to do with its truthfulness.
Is Calc still slower than thick shit, unlike Excel or Gnumeric? It's faster than it was but still much slower.
Can you have more than 64k rows, like Excel or Gnumeric? No? Fail!
Sticking with Gnumeric.

Let me just say this for those of you who either didn't play Enter The Matrix, or didn't play it as Niobe.

Conversation over.
I'm not sure that they really need the hydrogen, being in a hard vacuum a couple degrees above absolute zero and all
Wrong!
the boiling point of hydrogen is 20 degrees K
Irrelevant!
interplanetary space is about 4 degrees K
Wrong!.
Wow, a lot of wrong was packed into just a few sentences.
...is ginkgo biloba good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again y'all!
Second that. Imeem was the shizzle.
Too hot right now, we'll have to wait until night.
Concrete donkey? Did we just wander into sexual innuendo?

"mechanical devices, based on physical principles"
raises a mental red flag. This isn't another water-powered car is it?
Oh Wan-To, you old crazy bastard.
