But there is a reason for the caps-lock key. Some people use it whenever they need to type capital letters, especially if they never learned to type with 9 fingers. Now you have a new group who will keep getting password wrong messages.
I've never really understood this problem. I mean, I can see how this could happen theoretically, but in practice are there any editors that wouldn't automatically turn the code into
There already are two lines of track (S1 and S8) that go from Munich to the airport. However, currently the are used by regional lines that have lots of stop on the way. The 1 million proposal simply to have another train service on the same tracks, that doesn't have any intermediate stops, and possibly goes slightly faster.
Heck, civilians never even fly German flags! Oh, you missed the last soccer world cup? There you could see the strange spectacle of Germans who are not part of the government flying German flags. It sure was weird, although I don't think many took it as far as also singing the national anthem (which for most would involve first learning it anyway). However, I'm glad to say that after the world cup, Germany seems to have gone back to normal.

What affects it? Your karma, login frequency, post-to-lurk ratio, and of course metamoderation. I'm not so sure about these things. Karma I have no idea, mine hasn't changed for a while. However, for the rest: I log in about once a year, when the cookie expires. I sometimes don't make a single post for months, despite lurking quite a bit. I can't remember the last time I metamoderated, but it may well have been in 2006.
I still get mod points at least once every 2 weeks, sometimes every few days. I also don't take any particular care to find deserving posts to mod up, I just continue to read normally and mod posts I happen to come across. I rarely actually use all five mod-points before they expire.
But they only make a map of the "bad" sites, so that is the only hashes they could reverse. As most people probably don't spend much time on such sites, their privacy would still be improved.
ACs still have an UID, and it isn't 0. There are only a few places where you can see it though. zoo.pl is an example, so to check your relationship with ACs: http://slashdot.org/zoo.pl?op=check&uid=666
You wouldn't have to patent before testing, just keep your information incredible secrete. Once the drug had been tested and found to work, the patent could be filed and the produced released. Come on, this isn't rocket science:) But in that case, nobody but hear about failed drugs, leading to a lot of wasted work and money as different companies develop the same none functioning drug.
While this has nothing to do with the actual story, it reminded me of this:
Whenever some international news happened, you used to be able to see a summary of foreign news coverage at http://usinfo.state.gov/products/medreac.htm, under the name of "US Dept of State, International Information Programs : foreign commentary". Unfortunately, you now get a 404 error page, mentioning that the page may have been moved. Does anybody know if it is still available somewhere else?
Every 20 turns, rings of the left hand lower nutrition on turn 4, rings of the right on turn 12. So, with two Rings of Slow Digestion, you can keep taking one off on the important turn and not use any food. Also, Potions of Fruit Juice raise nutrition, but don't count as food, so you can compensate for missed turns and the Amulet of Yendor.
Sure enough, franchise mode was so buggy that it was literally impossible to play more than a couple seasons of it (destroying the whole point of that mode). The developer forums were flush with complaints about numerous game-stopping bugs, several of which I personally encountered pretty quickly, but none of which were mentioned in any review I read.
To be fair to the reviewers, this is usually not because they can't be bothered to test the game properly, but because they test preview version, to make sure they have review ready by the time the game is in stores. They could of course still write about bugs, but usually most will get fixed for the final version, and the publishers might stop giving them advanced copies if they feel it leads to bad press.
1) Sounds more like a criticism of Swing, but maybe I misunderstood you
2) You really want every class to include a description of Objects methods? I think it's better to use @inheritDoc where appropriate, but otherwise not to display inherited comments.
If somebody releases something as open source, he shouldn't then try to patent it anyway. If some 'big company' then tries to patent it, there's obvious prior art.
the SI liter both had ugly/cumbersome definitions involving a sample of perfect water at a given temperature, pressure and local gravitational acceleration As far as I know, one litre is 1000 cm^3. How did you think it is defined? Perhaps you are thinking of the old definition of a kilogram?
Why wouldn't they just generate it themself? For most people, downloading an ISO and extracting the archive would be slower than just to use something like this.

You mean this site? It's still up, being updated, and in general shows no sign of having received a take down notice.
This is quite neat, but can I tell it to use a more advanced kind of RegExp?

thus making the problem trivial to spot?

Using BigDecimals is probably easiest.

http://slashdot.org/zoo.pl?op=check&uid=666
There are also some other weird things when you try to treat ACs as normal users. For example, instead of http://slashdot.org/journal.pl?op=friends you can use http://slashdot.org/~Anonymous+Coward/journal/ .
I don't know what that "have you stopped beating your wife?" comment was about but it smells like flamebait to me.
It's a well known example of a common fallacy.Check on the left side of the page. There will be a "Permanent link" right above the "Cite this article".

But the material was included. It just wasn't accessible without the mod. I don't think RockStar ever denied this, so why should they start now?

Why bother. Google only indexes the static version of the comment pages, which don't include comments with a low score.
