If you are both making $178K, maybe one of you should quit. What's the point of making this much money? The main advantage of getting married is codifying a division of labor and responsibility. One person to bring home the money--the other to take care of the house. It's nearly impossible to make this kind of arrangement when a couple is unmarried. This is a much more real life reason to get married than for tax purposes.

Use of male descriptors as gender neutral is far too convenient in allowing language to be interpreted in men's favor. In many instances, it was used to deny rights to women, while hiding the fact that women were excluded using ambiguous language. Consider: The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen.
Game programmers have already been making use of approximate math to speed calculations, like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_inverse_square_root It seems like a hardware implementation could be a nice win for certain applications, assuming it can be turned on and off. But, I feel the level of accuracy for each application is different, so it will be hard to balance general purpose requirements in a chip. The chip maker might need to implement several different approximations for each function. Is the increase in power efficiency worth the increase in chip size?
No, this is different. Fuzzy logic is for dealing with situations where one cannot assign a statement to be completely true or false. It's a breakdown of binary logic, when a more nuanced view is needed. In fuzzy logic, one isn't finding an approximate solution to an exact problem. One is finding an approximate solution to an approximate problem.
How is that a guise? Visible firearms do cause a disturbance, and it makes perfect sense that they can make an officer feel uncomfortable, because they are an existential threat to the officer. Gun owners have a right to carry their guns, but that doesn't mean police will treat them the same as an unarmed person.
Percents are a way to express a fraction in a standardized way to allow for easy comparison to other fractions. Which is bigger: 29/32 or 51/56? It's hard to recognize which is bigger or how close they are because they have different denominators. If you express everything with the same denominator, it's easy to compare. We live in a decimal dominated society, so people just collectively decided that 100 is a good regular denominator for everything. Occasionally, some smart alec will express something as per mille.
What people don't understand these days is the importance of enhanced interrogation techniques to winning our war on terror. It's not enough to take low-level fanatics out of commission. The masterminds and planners will always find another volunteer with promises and guarantees. $250000 is a lot of money to most people, and the organization has significant financial resources to expend. But identifying the threat can be difficult due to their secretive nature. It would be negligent for us to withhold any tools at our disposal, including waterboarding, to get Mr. Cromitie to tell us WHO HE IS WORKING FOR. We have to strike at the head of the organization; only then can we win the war on terror.

I'm only clicking on this story because I wanted to hear slashdot opinions on prenups. I don't give a damn about Zuckerburg.

Do you mean intended consequences?
So, what manufacturing breakthrough does China have that US doesn't?
So, how big is the tariff we impose on foreign oil? Oh wait, we don't tariff foreign oil. But we do tariff foreign ethanol 54 cents a gallon.

I'm not sure what you mean. Most Americans can afford McDonald's every day. This doesn't include medical costs, of course.
Perhaps a better option than a button to nuke the drive is a button to replace the contents with something relatively innocuous and mundane.
Suddenly, I'm concerned that we don't have enough protection against mind worms.
At least you can't say they do not work.

but 31/32 is 97% (to 2 significant digits). Unless you are a c programmer. Then 31/32 == 0.
Maybe we already have driverless cars, but I prefer driverless cars that have an actual robot control system.
I think you are trying too hard to disaparage the technology.
prove it.
Did people not get that I was joking?

Yes, except minus any actual air defenses.
eBooks need to cost more to pay for all the development or licensing of the DRM.
Nah, bacteria will survive. Insects too.
Then we're fucked. Because conventional farming is also unsustainable for our population levels.
