Seriously why do 3/4ths of these companies even have/8 addresses? do every one of their workstations in the company have a publicly routable address on them?
Ford certainly use addresses in their 19.0.0.0/8 space for employee workstations, even though none of those machines is accessible from outside.
I lived on Tarawa for a couple of years in my childhood. The islands are overpopulated and very fragile. A popular picnic destination when I was there was the island of Bikeman. Here's what is looked like in 1975. The Japanese built a causeway in the 1990s, which altered currents around the atoll. Here's Bikeman now, although that story falsely attributes the loss to rising sea levels. If that had been the case, the entire island chain would have disappeared. Bikeman was just a large sandbank that got washed away.
J Maarten Troost's book The Sex Lives Of Cannibals is a humorous yet insightful story of life on the islands, and is well worth a read.
Get a copy of The Sixty Minute Marriage by Rob Parsons. Although aimed at Christians (you don't say if that applies), the large majority of the advice applies to anyone. Highly recommended: Parsons' line of thinking is very clear and logical.
Seconded. I'm a Christian, a bit closer to Java than PHP, and am used to getting a bit of a slapping from ignorami spouting bigoted claptrap only lightly based on truth (yeah, and I know that's what most of you lot think of us...).
This article made me smile: very clever, knowledgable of the nuances of the different faiths, and no unfounded digs at any of the (major) ones.
My sister used to hide behind the sofa whilst games loaded off tape, as she had developed a phobia for that error message! As an annoying little brat, I would sometimes subtly turn down the volume on the tape player until the Spctrum could no longer recreate the signal, and bombed out with that error.
The problem with the extended colour gamut of the new system is that existing source material is based on the sRGB colour space, which encompasses roughly 35% of the eye's gamut. Anything shorter wavelength than blue, such as spectral violet; many saturated greens and oranges, and most cyans are not available, and the nearest colour is used.
We're all used to this, so when a violet flower is shown as purple (red + blue) on our displays, we don't question it. But try putting a vase of violets next to your TV and you'll see the difference.
Some proper digital photography setups try to improve on the situation using colour profiles, which is simply a lookup table to transform the RGB colours in the file to absolute colour values.
Digital cameras can record colours outside sRGB, so if you ensure your workflow never enforces that constraint, you can end up with a file that can be printed using colours your monitor can't see.
Typically, the input file (usually a raw camera file) is transformed via a device profile (representing the camera's actual spectral response) into a working space (a device-independent space for editing). Whilst editing, the image is viewed using a transform to sRGB (or your display's output profile, if you've calibrated it), but this restriction is for viewing only and doesn't change the file. Then, when you print, the image is converted via a device profile for your printer to print to the extremes of its capabilities - which may exceed sRGB in some colours (e.g. cyan), and be even worse in others (e.g. pure blue).
To make use of this new TV system, we'd need something similar - wide-gamut source material, and device profiles for each set (or simply assume sRGB as default, for backwards-compatibility). Otherwise, it's like listening to music mixed for cheap portable radios (i.e. most current CDs) on a real hi-fi system.
Oh please, no. Bicycle helmets have no proven beneficial effect in accidents involving motor vehicles, and can actually be detrimental due to increased risk of rotational injury.
Bike helmets are only any good if you fall off at low speed. The energies involved in motor vehicle accidents are far greater than they are designed to absorb.
The only thing worht setting up would be a road safety education initiative for motorists, although I've seen plenty of cyclists that could use a bit of this, too!
First, mobile phones do have extremely high frequency chips in them. They have to in order to recieve and process the high frequency signals they deal with.
Rubbish. You don't need digital circuitry to handle the 2.4GHz signal. You use standard analogue RF circuitry and only get digital once you've demodulated it.

It isn't sloppy. The kernel is the heart of the operating system, and the quote you extracted is precisely correct.
To me, the line that has not become an unrecognized HTML tag appears longer.
ITYM "Opportunity". Spirit's been silent, and I'm guessing dead, since March.

Try to walk through the middle now, and you get "This image is no longer available". The English Heritage black helicopters have paid a visit...

Of course, if you're going to use defaults, it's a good idea to choose them wisely...
Article seems a little ... one-sided.
I'll get my coat.

ITYM "AA and AAA". A cells are quite rare.
Because they're not 13 years old, and have a hint of maturity about them.

Tape, yes. But do you remember 45rpm floppy 7" "records" that came with magazines? Or programs broadcast over the radio late at night?
I've just written this article, coincidentally:

wtf? Then who are you? I hope you missed the word "sister" after "wife's", or something
It's a Reliant Robin, dammit. The model is a Robin, made by Reliant.
...if there is such a thing. Pure brilliance.
hmm, what's with the black helicoptor outside. Woah, look at the scope on that guys rif

What's wrong with "buyer" or "purchaser"?

More importantly, how did he get all that with just $1m?!
