Ok, to be pedantic enough for your acceptence, when using "or" in the context of giving a choice (as in the comment you were originally applying to), everyday usage is exclusive or. "You can find the keys to the truck or the keys to the car" will be taken to mean you can find one or the other but not both. It's not surprising that the poster would use || incorrectly in this case. Of course, using a C logical operator in an English sentence that would use "or" as something other than a logical operator isn't just wankerish, it's pretty stupid.
umm, because Universities are dependent on tuition money to stay open, and when one decides that students living on campus can't have Internet access, all of their potential students will enroll somewhere else?
Yeah, they'd need to be made out of metal for radar guns to work. You know, like baseballs, tennis balls, and hockey pucks are all now made out of steel.
Yes, but the costs of getting the equipment to where you are going to do the mining will most likely be more than the revenues the mines will generate in their lifetime. And getting fissionable materials into space to use them in your engine is a bit of a political problem. No one wants to take the risk of turning a shuttle into a potential dirty bomb. Having a launchpad accident that turned Florida into an uninhabitable wasteland would be a Bad Thing.
No, being a DNA virus it would have DNA and not RNA. If it was HIV, you'd be right. And this would be a much bigger news story, since an ebola vaccine isn't really all that likely to prevent infections, since they pretty much all occur in places where they can't afford clean needles to give the vaccine, much less the vaccines themselves.
Yes, I rewrote all of the login code on my computer and designed a new kind of locks for my house and car. And then I organized my own military and police forces to make sure I'm secure from foreign invasion and domestic criminals.
Except in Microsoft's case, "innovation" means to make an inferior clone of an existing product and then make it popular by building it in to Windows as the default. Of course, they'd argue that anything built into Windows is inherently better regardless of its other features.
umm, no, but pre-Norman Old English is dead. Your analogy would be apt if the parent said "No one grows up learning Latin as a mother tongue, therefore Italian is dead."
You obviously have no concept of what salaried employment under a contract is. They're not paying him as an independent contractor to develop code that he sells to them, they're paying him a salary to give them everything he produces.
Would they be justified under his contract to pay him less for time he'd already worked if they decide they don't like the code he'd written during that time?
Why would a model need to change to allow for something which doesn't violate the unchanged model? You're contradicting yourself. Either the current model allows for the new information or it doesn't. If it does, it doesn't need to be changed.
Just about every WWII historian considers "The Allied Powers" to include the Soviet Union. Whether you like it or not, it's true, you revisionist moron.
Is teraflops/s supposed to be the rate at which the processors can accelerate in speed? Or did the industry just redefine "flops" like they did with "gigabyte"?

And for that you can blame logicians who decided that "or" should mean inclusive or when in everyday usage it means exclusive or.

Patents on DNA are pretty suspect, since every living organism can provide a whole lot of examples of prior art.
Yeah, it would be really effective to require all the junkies you're selling the drugs to to carry around a $4000 phone so they can get in touch.

That appears to be the abstract of a lecture on the topic for a cognitive psychology course, not an abstract of a research paper.

Ok, then you have no concept of the fact that your contract applies to you and not to someone who signed a completely different contract with Apple.
When Apple releases them.
Would they be justified under his contract to pay him less for time he'd already worked if they decide they don't like the code he'd written during that time?
What, you mean besides being able to have him prosecuted for fraud in addition to suing him for breach of contract?

Bzzt. Guess again.
Don't they teach history in schools anymore?
You recall incorrectly.
What, you mean Yahoo! News doesn't have a team of international correspondents that write all those wire stories?
Is teraflops/s supposed to be the rate at which the processors can accelerate in speed? Or did the industry just redefine "flops" like they did with "gigabyte"?
Is "face music" kind of like "chin music", or are you talking about the Swiss record company?
Yes.
