Not at all, if his brother "died" within a few hours of insemination, it's likely "he" would be smaller. So both could be equally plausible, and at least 1 was true at one time for anyone born. So the less likely answer is 6 feet tall.
It is an excellent idea, we replace 18 wheelers that do multiple 10 mile stops at 3 stores getting maybe 3mpg through urban and semi-urban streets with trucks that can carry what they need to a single store getting 10mpg, or perhaps, running on electric power and getting far better "mileage".

IBM's accomplishments were all in the pursuit of making more better cheaper things. Any "basic research" that fell out of these efforts were serendipitous happenstance.
in Europe, where I have been anyways, you're driving at a maximum of 50 mph (80 kph). Since you lose roughly 0.14 mpg per mph, I could see that given that the US fleet is relatively old. Lastly, 80000 is for a single trailer, in Europe, it would take a dual trailers to hit that value since you use smaller trailers in general and do not have 18 wheel setups.
There are inherently safer designs than that used at Fukushima, and even that design would likely have survived the tsunami if construction shortcuts had not been taken.
Trains already ARE electric. They're powered by huge diesel generators instead of batteries or a "3rd rail".
So, are they electric, or are they diesel powered? Diesel trains compared to a metro train (electric in most areas I've been) are like a hybrid car compared to a Tesla. One is electric, the other is not.
Compared to Paris, Rome, Amsterdam, Madrid, Berlin and London, Frankfurt is on the small side with the exception of the LUZ ranking where it beats Amsterdam handily. Frankfurt is absolutely dwarfed by the car loving US cities mentioned, in fact, even it's LUZ rating wouldn't allow it in the top 25 US metro areas. So I would hope its air is relatively clean.
US 18 wheeler at 60 mph averages just under 6 mpg, under highway driving conditions. Deliveries are not highway driving conditions, they are stop and go. I don't have numbers but will bet you the smaller truck will wind up much better in this case, since you're also damaging local roads and doing lots of wear and tear on the big trucks.
It likely was in Outlook 97, since it was required for the DoD email contracts. I seem to vaguely recall something about that. Skimming that 2k3 page makes me grimace in pain. The solution I was using in 1993 was automatic based on preferences per user, with a default. Signing or encryption was automatic if selected and you had the target user(s)'s public key(s). Eudora was one client that interoperated pretty well, I can't remember the rest. I used several back then. It was a very different world.
We don't need huge 18 wheelers for the short delivery from rail to store. It's more efficient from a labor standpoint, I suppose, but Tracy Morgan, for one, would likely prefer smaller vehicles.
Go into any major west European city from any US city during the fall and you'll get a first hand experience of how an asthmatic feels. Your airways constrict, breathing is labored, and you get a few bonuses, like needing to cough every time you suck air in, causing even deeper gasping. People are particulate filters in cities like Paris, Milan, London, etc. Any tissue will reveal that after a day. The US has no where near those levels of pollution, not in NYC or LA.
1 gallon of diesel burned in a train makes a truck look like the dirty polluting piece of crap it is. Make the train electric and you'd think that truck was the source of all pollution.
I just checked - apparently digital signatures/encryption (on my admitted single search result date) was Outlook 2007. Now, I recall doing PGP based signatures and encryption around 1993 with LaMail (yep, that one) among many others. The real issue here is that very few lay people have the slightest clue when it comes to certificates, authorities, or sharing public keys.
You should also ask yourself why IBM would do so just when the next greatest OS release from MS was about to drop, complete with its "live update" process that you can't opt out of.
Are you saying IBM's IT department was too stupid to use WSUS or even to set delayed updates through GPO and use another solution?
Yes, updates are forced on Windows 10 Home users, as it has been proven time and again that they are incapable of managing updates. Don't like the automatic updates, spring for the Pro edition or setup a domain.
I guess you didn't read the policy pieces where MS said yes, you can delay updates, but only for 3 months, max? That has since been extended to a max of 12 months due to massive backlash, but you will update, whether you want to or not if you're running Win10. You no longer own your own installation, MS does. You only get to manage the delays for updates within a 12 month window. That would be concerning to any business, IMNSHO.
As such, they can diff and cut out any code that has been duplicated from elsewhere (just as they could with raw source code). Anything modified by you would remain. Because your coding style is, admittedly, quite different from that in the snippets, it will stand out as if it were glowing.
The funniest thing about this is how wrong that statement is. I can take myself as an example, I've worked in multiple shops, several with different code formatting practices, not to mention potentially different languages. I generally configure my IDE to whatever code formatting requirements there are, so everything I add gets put into the current format. Naming practices are whatever is in the current codebase. So, essentially, from a source and binary perspective, my code will look like whatever the current code base should. Snippets cut from anywhere will always be refactored to fit my needs, and thus may not look at all like what was snipped.
In short, this is a whole barrel of snake oil for any one actually working professionally and not that rare lone wolf that only codes their own specific way.
IBM doesn't even make i86/ia64/etc compatible computers anymore. They sold that off to the Chinese company that bought Lenovo YEARS ago. IBM used to love OS/2, aka CONCENTRATED EVIL. I think I'll forgo IBM's opinion on the matter.
OS/2 was a pretty decent system, better than Windows at the time IMNSHO, and possibly even today. But when IBM wholesale changes their employees systems away from Windows, you have to ask yourself exactly why, especially when Macs are reportedly so darn expensive (that's a hopefully dead meme by now, while you can buy a cheaper windows machine with much lower specs, equivalent machines are more than competitive) You should also ask yourself why IBM would do so just when the next greatest OS release from MS was about to drop, complete with its "live update" process that you can't opt out of. <-- yes, that's rhetorical
Mostly to prove it can be done, I used Windows for years without any live running AV application.
I've done the same, except I used an extremely pared down version, with almost no services running. IIRC, I was down to about 13 running processes at startup. System worked fine, only running 3rd party software. I ran no MS software on it at all. Most of all - no Windows Update. That virus downloads all kinds of crap I didn't need or want. With this setup, you don't even need a firewall, as no ports are open. After 3 years and an offline virus scan, no viruses or malware found. It should also be mentioned that it ran relatively quickly without all that cruft, with a boot time less than half of a standard windows install, meaning it was actually usable. By contrast, I have seen a Win7 Pro work laptop that takes upwards of 2 minutes to boot today, thanks to something like 67 processes getting loaded on startup. My Win7 VM starts up in less than half that time, but it's a bare installation.
I went with Fedora, Ubuntu and Mint after that which were all fine at the time, but various continuing challenges finally put me on a mac. I now run other OSes in VMs, simplifying my life significantly.
If it was a reasonably spec'd out system, you'd just plug and play. All you'd need is a hub or a service running that would interact. Need a new device, add it to the service or hub. It's a pretty simple system, as long as monetizing your activities and data stays out of it.
I'm currently hacking some hardware for just this purpose, only because one is not offered that can run without a cloud service.
I am aware of where IoT appears to be going. I'm stating that IMNSHO, it is entirely not what I'd envision IoT to be, as IoT should help me, not make me and my activities a product.
The internet of things, to me, is a set of devices and items that are connected to a network and are accessible to me via my own services, should I choose to have them. A network connected fridge that can signal that it is warm on my LAN to have said signal picked up by my HA unit which then messages me is what I envision. No where in that vision does my LAN even need to be connected to the internet proper. In fact, I'd be most happy if my HA LAN was not connected to the internet in any way.
Of course, such a vision follows more along the lines of SNMP LAN type operations, with a standard messaging format being all that's required. A device is compatible with the protocol, and we're good to go. I don't need a $10 / month service to let me visualize my freezers power usage.

my brother is 1 millimeter tall or 6 feet tall,
The 1mm answer would be silly of course

Catholic church has had the evolution "problem" nixed for about a century. Try to keep up.
But who made god?

And yet it is estimated to be as much as 25% of the automotive pollution in some countries.

There tends to be a perception amongst the Linux crowd that somehow only they understand...
