I am glad you see my point, comrade Karmashock. I knew you would agree with me in the end. As for your strange notion that our extremely just and dilligent courts could possibly allow criminals to get away with their crimes by claiming insanity: what makes you say such strange things? How could such a ridiculous notion possibly get into your head? I think our specialists at Serbsky will have to have a look at you.
On one hand, as you say, criminals could exploit a wider definition of insanity to get a lighter sentence, on the other hand, authorities can use it to incarcerate troublemakers without having to take them to a court, because they obviously need treatment for their "sluggish schizofrenia".
But it is not java script generated content, it is java script generated rendering. The conent is either in TeX or in MathML. Unlike images, that are rendered server side.
That seems to be exactly the way Gnome works these days. The difference is that I can strip all the Gnome stuff and I still end up with a working system, just one without Gnome. And, surprise, my battery now lasts much longer.
What they don't realize is that using pies and pizzas to teach fractions is secretly preparing kids for trigonometry. Except that the whole pizza is actually 2 pi, rather than a pi.
Not some of the blame, all of the blame! There are plenty of legitimate reasons why a car would stay standing after the light changes, it could be a mechanical failure, or medical problem with the driver. You don't just rear end someone who is stopped on the road!
That is wrong, and will lead to premature wear of the clutch. Do not leave your foot on the clutch, except when you are shifting gears or shifting to/from neutral.
^This! Keeping your foot on the clutch for extended periods of time is a bad practice, and you should never do that. And if you cannot get the the car moving fast enough directly from the handbreak, you should not be driving the clutch.
The car will not "propel itself forward", it will very slowly start moving forward. I know that very well, since I normally drive a stick, and when I sometimes drive a rental or a borrowed car, I sometimes forget and take my foot of the break while waiting at a red light. One time I actually fell asleep and bumped into the car in front of me, but the spped was so low that the driver in front of me barely noticed, and I just barely woke up.
Other than that, though, he actually mentions "vehicle in drive", so he assumes automatic. I have my vehicle in neutral while waiting on a red light, and if I am on a slope, I even have my parking break on. I doubt that he would take that into account when issuing a ticket, though.
If the sampling was done by phone, it is quite possible that it was biased with respect to this particular question, since it is quite possible that people who are more privacy conscious refuse to participate in phone surveys. I did not RTFA, is there an information on how many people were they unable to reach and how many they refused to participate? Did they try to compensate for such possible bias?
I guess that makes sense if your data is so complicated that it actually needs XML, but I would still say that for simple data that can be stored in a simple to parse format like csv or tsv, it is better to keep it separate.
1) Code is data 2) Code is data that is especially hard to interpret 3) One of the main reasons of all this mess ia that in all those proprietary formats, data is intermixed with code, and the whole mess is very hard to parse.
Data should be kept completely isolated, as far away from code as possible. That way, if you cannot interpret the code any more, you will still be able to analyze and parse the data. You know, it is not that hard to construct a record player.
That is complete bullshit, and you know it! There are many people who manage to eat, feed their families and send their kids to school, an in general make their living while helping what you call the less fortunate. It is hard work, it is often frustrating because it may often seem like it does not make any difference, but it is entirely possible. Of course, you may not be able to afford your huge house, new car, the newest TV and cable, but it is entirely possible to "make a living" that way.
IT is a lot about creativity, abstract analysis, linguistics, and logic. Any applicant with a modicum of these fields of training is significantly more valuable than the Math Guru.
You do not know much about mathematics, do you. Because actual mathematics (the "higher level" math classes that the OP is talking about) is all about creativity, abstract analysis, linguistics, and logic.
The unfortunate paradox of current math education is that the lower level math classes seem to be often specifically designed to kill all creativity, abstract analysis and logic, but that's something I could rant about for pages and pages.
Email, when used right, is a perfect way to have a meaningful conversation. When following proper quoting rules, and when using a decent mail reader that will keep messages in threads, and keep track of quoting, email conversation are very clear, and you can come to them years later, and they still make perfect sense. In fact, you can pick up where you ended, and continue the conversation.
The problem is that for decades, majority of people were using idiotic mail readers that 1) broke headers so that proper threading was impossible, and 2) provided braindead composing interface that could not deal with proper quoting, so majority of people started simply top-posting, instead of carying on a conversation, and email eventually degenerated into the mess that it is today. But with decent mail readers, and with message filtering and multiple, possibly virtual, mailboxes, email can still be one of the best ways to have a conversation on the internet, especially if you want to have the conversation archived for later. And if not, there is nothing easier than to delete the entire thread, or make it so that it gets saved in some mailbox dedicated to unimportant garbage.
What Google is doing now has been around for a very long time: message filtering, sorting, virtual mailboxes, those are all features Unix mailreaders had 15 or 20 years ago. Google is now putting a new user friendly interface, and finally bringing them to the masses.
Actually, what google is doing now is how email was always ment to be read. It is how we read and organized email 20 years ago with procmail and a decent reader like mutt or gnus. Google is just creating more firendly interface on top of it.
It seems lighting isn't the issue, so much as the accusation of image splicing.
Yes, but the image splicing accusation is largely based on the three conversions from raw. If he made a hdr image from a single raw, as he claims, he would obviously have to do several conversions of the same raw file. That would also explain different ELA brightness in different parts of the picture: they came from different conversions of the same raw file, so they were processed differently. Notice that there are several slight halos, for example on top of the building in the background, that would indicate a hdr from raw techique that the author claims he used. In fact, a single raw hdr was my first reaction when I saw the picture.
The only thing left that would support possible splicing is then the lighting itself: the light on the faces is not consistent with the location of the sun. That can easily be explained by an additional (weaker) light source on the left (most likely a reflective surface on the left wall). The hdr processing emphasizes this light in the otherwise dark areas of the picture, which makes it look strange and unnatural, but is still does not prove splicing of several images.
I don't know whether the single raw hdr techique "conforms to the currently accepted standards in the industry", but I am pretty sure I have seen it used in news images before. After all, it does not alter the actual scene in any way, it just emphasizes some parts of it differently.
She made an IED from completely legal components that she bought at a drug store or supermarket. How is that different from your legal BB gun? Besides, there is nothing wrong about IED's. IED's don't kill people, people kill people.

"I did ignore it, but then it produced a National Security letter saying I had to do it and that I wasn't allowed to tell anybody."
"I see. Case dismissed."
"The court is now entering a closed session. You are charged with violating the Patriot act by openly talking about a National Security letter."

If the parameters are independent, each parameter is an additional dimension.
And how is that different with TI? They are not exactly known for their friendliness towards calculator hackers.
Codea is another product like that, based on lua instead of python.
Maybe it's a new "achievement".
I think it must be an entry to some sort of obfuscated crap contest.
Darn it! Now I will have to buy and install Windows just to try it and see what it does!
