Take a walk, or a train ride, or a long shower - anything that lets you get into a slightly disassociative state seems to help me work though those "can't get my mind around it" sort of problems
On the other hand if you can't sit down and get anything done - turn off the internet, delete the games, put on some headphones....
Android doesn't use X - nVidia have drivers for X and for Windows - but not for Android - so no one's choosing nVidia hardware for Android - so nVidia's discouraging people from using Android....
Just wait, if they're smart a year from now they'll have Android drivers and wont have a problem with it
the US run really weird borders - getting in they treat you like utter crap, when you leave they do nothing, don't check or stamp your passport, there's not even a guy at a desk when you leave you just wander onto the plane, they depend on the airline getting it right. Anywhere else in the world they check your passport on the way in and the way out.
I visit the US on business a few times a year - I depend on being able to come and go, but if the airline screws up I may find myself detained at the border for overstaying my previous trip next time I show up, I have no way of knowing if they've gotten it right - and there are horror stories from those for whom the record keeping was screwed up - I'm much rather have that exit stamp in my passport
Immediate chapter 7 with the government first in line for any payouts (ahead of shareholders, who should be taking part in the risk if they own part of something who commits murder/manslaughter)
look at the bug - the problem is caused not by the arm per-se but by GCC for the arm's choice to round align structures to 8-byte boundaries - he's coded in an assert that verifies that the number of bytes left over after an align of a 1 byte in a structure is always 3. There's no requirement in C that structure alignment should be to 4-byte boundaries.
As someone else mention putting in the assert was a smart thing to do - it tests an assumption that the original programmer made - the fact that it went off meant that the original assumption isn't true and the code should be changed to match a new understanding of reality rather than denying it
well yes and no - chunks of VGA are well documented - but it's a register spec that doesn't say what happens when you deviate from the documented register values - over the years various programmers have stepped outside the spec and gone their own way (doom, microsoft,....) enough people have done it that unless your design does the right thing in all these architectural black holes you're not 'compatible'
Am I the only one who can't understand how the change in the ice's thickness has anything to do with it's density - does the original article poster understand what density actually measures?
I kind of expect that if things get bad the Antarctic ice sheet will warm enough that it starts to move faster and more sea ice will be dumped into the ocean in places rather than less - 8 inches more ice being pushed into the sea than normal would tend think more ice is melting ans the sea levels will rise.
See - I can take the same data and spin it the other way.
Saying that sea ice thickness increases at one spot around Antarctica of 22cm (8 inches) disproves global warming is pushing it a bit far - just like my paragraph above - most evidence of global warming at the moment has been that it's a slow gradual process best measured by statistical measurements over time, not individual spot measurements - what this claims is a bit like saying "this was the hottest April 19th on record that proves global warming" or "last month was the coldest since 2000, we can't possibly be having global warming".
Climate change is real - we have historical and geologic evidence of it - it's happening all the time (whether humans are around or not) - and there seems to be reasonable scientific evidence at this point that carbon emissions are causing some change at the moment

I spent a week at a customer's cable TV plant - they kept it so cold the people who worked there sat in sleeping bags all day. I hadn't brought any warm clothes at all (it was 100F outside) - I had to quit about 2:30 every day
I've heard the term "you can feel it in your bones" and in this case you could - my bones would ache for an hour after I had gotten back out in the warm
well I agree - but looking at my G1 I sort of understand why - I suspect it has more to do with the length of such a connector and the location of the buttons on the internal circuit boards - there's no physical space available with the required depth - a phone without a physical keyboard is going to have a lot more locations you could pull that off
they have this one nailed - everyone gets 2 marriages - first they go to the town hall and get hitched in the eyes of the state, then off to the religious institution (or not) of their choice to do it in front of their god.
So "civil marriage" and "religious marriage", one has to do with the state, taxes, laws, etc etc (rendering unto Caesar if you will), the other to do with the religious side of things, if that's your thing.
The real problem here is trying to conflate the two entities who tend to be involved with marriage
The answer here is simple - the state gets to decide who's civilly married (they have human rights laws, etc etc), churches get to choose who they will do the god thing with - they're both forms of 'marriage', both valid within their own sphere - the state doesn't get to tell the churches who they can marry, but equally the churches don't get to tell the state. Equally churches don't hand out tax benefits, the state doesn't get to confer blessing from dieties
of course you forgot to include the cost of the DRM protected music he bought for his zune that he was forced to throw away when he bought new platform to replace it...
it's par for the course, and isn't new - I've been travelling to the US for 30 years now, even lived there with a green card for a while - surly border people who don't know how to be polite are just the way the US does it - I always give them a smile, and say "good morning", let them ask whatever, have a standard quick joke available about my job, even though I've just got off of that 12 hour trans-pacific flight - I've never been searched, never been hassled (but ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure they know you have left the country, unlike other countries the US doesn't do that part of the bookkeeping very well, for US Visit they depend on your airline doing the paper work - there's no emmigration forms or checkpoints in the sense that other ciuntries do it)
Now if they were smart they'd do what every other country does - lull the bad guys into a false sense of security by being nice to them - then pounce

that's the thing about inconvenient truths, they're inconvenient, you can't turn them off, even of you ignore them they don't go away ....
