Actually that's not the difference, because that's not how supermarket reward cards work in the UK. Rather than give you an instant discount, you get points (e.g. 2 points for every pound you spend), and when you reach a threshold (e.g. 500 points) you get a money-off voucher (typically worth 1% of the amount you had to spend to collect the points).
I gave a link to the entire text of the covenant, so if you want to check the context you can. Would you have preferred me to quote all 53 articles, and highlight the relevant sub-article?
Secondly, while it's true that the word "comprise" can mean "include", the meaning "consist of" seems more natural in context. I can't easily find a copy in one of the other languages referred to by Art. 53 to attempt to resolve the issue of interpretation.
Finally, what gives you the idea I was talking about your opinion? Your great-grandparent post presents the issue in terms of facts, and I was careful in the grandparent post to make it as clear as possible that I was commenting on facts rather than opinions.
Modern day computers are too powerful for everyday needs anyway, who cares that it takes 20 extra seconds to send a single email
If it's taking you 20 seconds on your 2GHz P4, how long's it going to take those 25MHz 486s which still operate as mail servers? Over 25 minutes, by my calculations.
Bullshit. Prison as "rehabilitation" is a relatively recent concept and still unproven. For that matter prison itself is a relatively recent concept - through most of human history somebody who commited a serious crime was either executed or enslaved. There was no third choice.
To the first, I refer you to the UN Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 10. To the second, I refer you to the Bible: Genesis chapter 39 is a reference to prisons in about 3000 BC if I recall the timeline correctly.
Article 10.2.3. The penitentiary system shall comprise treatment of prisoners the essential aim of which shall be their reformation and social rehabilitation. Juvenile offenders shall be segregated from adults and be accorded treatment appropriate to their age and legal status.
I live in a country that is comprised of fifty-one separate, sovreign governments, each with its own constitutional system of law, each with its own method of nominating its proportional share of electors to select the chief executive.
For what definition of "sovereign"? The key meaning of sovereign is roughly "supreme", but all of your state governments are subject to the constraints of federal law.
It's actually surprisingly bad at handling try/catch blocks. They're fine if the try block starts at the beginning of the method, but it's rare that I decompile a class and can then compile it without fixing up a few catches. The bit which surprises me is that I can fix them on autopilot - if I used jad regularly, I'd write a Perl script to fix them.

150lbs? Fatties. (6'2" and 140lbs, although I'm sure someone'll "beat" that in just a second...)

Are you a subscriber, or was it just coincidence that the next story to hit the front page is about NLP?
That's what the smartcard manufacturers say. It's not what security researchers say.
I don't know how to install anti-virus on my home computer. Is there a Debian AV package?
Did the people who modded that down read the department?
On the other hand, Timothy, Jeeves may be able to spell "asinine".
Four hours? Pah. I spent far longer than that optimising a Mandelbrot/Julia set applet for the 5k contest.
I understood, but I was trying to get a cheap laugh.
Yes, but grandparent poster did say good movies.

Phone suppositories? Ugh. What will they think of next?
Ah, the N.U.K.E..
Or dump the rebate system altogether and sell things for the price they intend to charge?
You're clearly not looking hard enough.
Mr Body? He's Dr Black in the UK, at least.

javap does disassembly, not decompilation.
