It depends. Specifying what exception is thrown can break abstraction because every class that implements an interface or an abstract method needs to know about the exception or handle it - all the way down the chain.
I guess a 'poke' falls under the broad category of "communicating". But it still seems a little heavy-handed. Even then, I guess she should've known better.
I tried to do this. When I put the battery in a torch it exploded and I also burnt my hand really bad. Yup. The battery sure is dead. Though I'm not sure why anyone would want to store them this way.
I once had an assignment during my sophomore year where I had to write a simple mathematical-expression evaluator in ADA (Simple addition, division stuff). My code would work fine until you added parentheses in the expression. Then it would give some weird error (don't recall the exact error). I noticed that if I removed all the parentheses it worked fine. No idea why. It shouldn't have, but it did. So before I parsed the expression, I removed ALL parentheses in the expression. I submitted the code and it passed the demo... no idea how. Heh.

"Spelt" is also the past-participle simple-past form of "to spell". It's a little more common in countries that use British English. "spelt" and "spelled" are equally correct.
Though the parent family of English is "Indo-European", English is actually classified as a "West Germanic" language (belongs to the western sub-branch of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages). The reason English has a lot of resemblance to Romance languages (when it comes to vocabulary) is because of the drastic change that the language underwent during the Norman invasion of England. The closest living relative of English is the Frisian Language. English's Germanic origins can be seen in many places, for example in the plurals of words like ox and child, when become oxen and children. (the -en suffix being common in Germanic languages). Another interesting aspect is that the words for cooked meats in English are different from the names of the animals they come from. For example, Ox is Germanic, whereas the word for the cooked meat, beef, has Norman origins (compare to boef in French). Also compare hen/chicken vs. poultry (poulet in French), or pig vs pork (porc in French).
The article says that Dhalsim comes from Kerala (a state that's a narrow strip in the southwestern corner of the Indian peninsula), and that his name is a Malayalam word. That's strange, because I'm Malayalee and I'm pretty sure that "Dhalsim" is not a Malayalam word. Hmm...
It's towards the end of the game. I don't remember all the details, but you're under a mountain or something - there's lava everywhere. There's a little alcove that you can reach only by using a cheat and recharging your jetpack. When you get in there, you see a message that says "You're not supposed to be here".

The US government also owns a whole bunch of/8's
Instead of hogging these, they should just give them up. They don't need all these addresses.
Should have mentioned. The reason this would have helped 3 years ago is that I was in Iraq at the time, which is where I extensively used the ULLS-G system.
I wish they had this three years ago. I worked on the ULLS-G system, which is a software system for unit-level logistics. It was written in ADA and ran in DOS. It was a horribly non-intuitive system. Trying to do anything with it took ages. There wasn't any sort of batch feature to batch up commands or reports.
The software used the SAGE database format and I was able to find an ODBC driver for it. Using that, I was able to write Perl scripts that could read and write to the database and do things a whole lot faster. I mean, things that took 2 hours to do (manually), took less than a second now. I was also able to tie things into Excel for extremely accurate and fast reporting. Something that none of the units there were able to do.
I was actually supposed to do any of this, because only authorized personnel are allowed to modify the software (reason being they didn't want anyone to mess things up). However, my commander and the BMO (Battalion Maintenance Officer) kinda let me do what I wanted to do because I was providing results.
Now they have a new system in place that's a whole lot better. Something with an Oracle backend. Not sure what the front-end is actually built on. Looks like access, but might not be it.
Anytay, at the time I really wanted to provide the scripts and software that I had written to other people in the military - either people who had my MOS or at the very least, the developers, so that they could improve the software.
I haven't had that much of an opportunity to work with the new software. Also, I'm getting done with my contract in December (end to 9 years of service). But I think there are a bunch of nerds and geeks like me hiding out in the military and I'm sure they have some pretty good suggestions to improve the software that the military uses.
IANAG (IANA Geneticist), but from what little I know about genetics, I doubt it is heritable. The only way something can be heritable is if it modifies any of the germ cells (sperm or ova). In fact, some of the "junk" DNA that we have are actually inactive sequences of ancient retroviruses (ERVs - Endogenous retroviruses) that infected the germ cells in our ancestors.
I haven't tried this yet, but it was the same problem with the preview SDK. There was no linux version, but you could get the Mac version running on Linux:
What I'd really like to see is JavaFX running on Android. I saw a presentation from Java One where it showed a JavaFX app running on Android. Has anyone been able to duplicate this:
I've played around with JavaFX and it seems pretty nice. I've been able to write small widgets with it. Whether it can take on Silverlight and Flash still remains to be seem. What's awesome is that JavaFX has the support of Java's rich API and 3rd-party libraries (you can easily import them into a JavaFX program).
Also if JavaFX apps can run properly on Android or the iPhone, I think that would also help it be more successful.
K'Breel, speaker for the Most Illustrious Council of Elders calmed down an indignant population:
My fellow citizens, my gelsacs quiver with rage at the knowledge that the metal invader from the evil blue planet still stirs! It was not too long ago that we thought we had rid ourselves of this metal wretch sent by the ugly waterbags from the evil blue planet! It was only today that I was interrupted during my morning blorting to be told that we had intercepted a communication from the metal monster to its masters on the evil blue planet. But fear not! The monster is still near death and as the bitter cold approaches, I have no doubt that we will triumph against these invaders!
When a member of the Press Corps reminded the Speaker that he had placed a "Mission Accomplished" banner above the podium during the last conference regarding the supposed death of the invader, and proceeded to ask whether in retrospect, the placement of the banner was premature, the Speaker withdrew his ceremonial spear and repeatedly pierced the gelsac of the member before the question was fully heard.

The researchers contend that super-massive black holes are the largest contributor of entropy.
I have also heard that "glaciers melting in the dead of night" contribute to entropy quite a bit.

Farsi, like English, is an Indo-European language

Does that mean that by using GNU/Mono, we'd all suffer from GNU/Monia?

A Phoenix-Tucson train would be nice.
I think what would also be nice is bullet-train service to San Diego or Los Angeles.

I was able to get the SDK to run on Linux. Full details here. Please don't kill my box :)
No dice. Windows comes as exe, and Mac as dmg. Nice job, Sun. I'm going to see if I can get to run somehow, though.
