Will they call it iMail? Will Apple's brand image be tarnished as a result? Will Apple try to sue Iran over trademark infringement? Or will they begrudgingly accept the inevitable Jobs/Ahmadinejad comparisons as having a tiny hint of truth?
I kid, I kid. I know you how you guys love to quash dissent;)
I'll throw together a script that takes in all of the project parameters as input, then based on the number of people in the team, past performance, scheduling deadlines and intermediate deliverables, comes up with an estimate for final delivery.
Then I throw out that number completely, and just multiply the time it took me to develop that script by five. This method has proven disturbingly accurate.
Bah. "Algorithm" is just doublespeak for "Mechanical Turk."
Some say he can steer a car just by thinking evasive thoughts. And if he turns the wheel, the road will slide easily underneath his car like a waitress with Tiger Woods. All I know is that it'll be driven by The Stig.
Indeed. Back in College/Grad school I would type up all my labs, but leave an inch or so gap so I could hand-write the equations in after I printed it out. It was a hell of a lot better than that equation editor built into Word...
Yes, it is ludicrous. That said, it's not a frequent occurrence fortunately, but definitely cause for concern. It was enough for my wife, who teaches elementary school, to make sure she deleted all of her photos of our trip to Germany a few years back. I don't think there was a single picture in that entire album where we weren't holding beer mugs as big as our heads:)
School teachers can and do get reprimanded if not fired for engaging in activities that, while acceptable for adults, are "corrupting" for children.
It's not about whether it's legal, or a detriment to their job performance. It's about the example they're setting for those poor, impressionable children.
If pictures of a drunk teacher found their way to the wrong parent, they'd definitely be in trouble.

1Gbps connection would be overkill, as there is another bottleneck in terms of porn consumption.
Let's just say my pipe would be saturated.
I'm personally more excited about the XCore System. Guaranteed to get the bugs out!
Estimating.
The difference between an estimate and a guess is the difference between a climatological model and a groundhog in determining the end of winter.
I figure it boosts my efficiency by getting all my wasted time in up front.

Personally, I think it's a all just a conspiracy perpetrated by Big Mafia.
Looks like we have a namespace collision here.
I propose the following solution: All references to 'virus' should now point to one of the following (as appropriate).
Meatspace::virus
Bitspace::virus
That'll solve a lot of confusion (and render almost every single "Funny"-modded post in this thread irrelevant)
Thanks.
I cut off my ear and shipped it in a shoebox to a girl I like.
Haven't heard back from her yet.
Best. Physics quote. Ever.
"He gives the example of a string of entangled ions oscillating back and forth in an electric field trap, a bit like Newton's balls."

Exactly. It's all the same things that made The Simpsons great. It's a caricature of humanity at its best (the caricature, not the humanity ;) ).
Except Watterson did something that Groening didn't--leave at the peak. Financially, Groening made the better move. Artistically, Watterson did.
And now your anonymity is fail. Might as well post the project info and go for broke :)
I would assume the British do. They boil every other kind of meat...

He asked if I'm from the US. I am.

I am and my wife is a teacher. They don't get fired for doing a bad job. They get fired for being immoral.

Curse Romy and Michelle for inventing something that the government is using to spy on it's own people!
I say we hang them for treason!
Like the song from Rent: Placebo EM
Dude! Stop making fun of my mom! :(
they always claim their stupid metamoderation system is supposed to prevent this sort of thing, but it never has.
That is not true! If I had mod points, you be down to -1, Troll so fast!
If you ever need to explain to your kids what masturbation is without getting too graphic, you can point them to this story.
