I wonder what Julian would think if someone published his GPS coordinates minute-by-minute.
Didn't he go in hiding a while back? Perhaps he should reflect on his reasons for such secrecy and see if those reason might apply out in the larger framework of war?
This reminds me of Senator Hatch who used unlicensed copyrighted software on his official website but then attempted, believe it or not, to pass legislation that would allowed the recording industry to remotely automatically destroy computers when they discovered that their copyrighted music was being downloaded.
I wish someone would write an app were you can press a button on the phone and hang up and a smart adaptive talking application takes over and provides selective responses such as "can you repeat that bit again" or "right, tell me more" or "cool sign me up" and massively wastes these evil telemarketers time.
Forget a RAM error, I have seen a bit on a file on the disk flip.
After years of successful operation a Perl script quite working. On investigation a G was transformed to a W a difference of one bit. The file mod date was years old.
And our preacher was absolutely convinced that rather than being about research, NASA's space program was REALLY them trying to find an alternate way into Heaven so that they could avoid "serving da Lord".
As humans have "advanced" over the past two thousand years, it is apparent that killing each other is simply not productive.
Regardless if we are looking at genes along a strand of DNA, cells in a multicellular organism or individual members of a society as systems become more complex and social, qualities such as cooperation, communication, empathy become increasingly valuable with a greater selective potential . This is due to basic game theory and is a feature of our universe. Any alien race sophisticated enough for interstellar travel would no doubt be highly social and evolved creatures and the odds are that they would be more curious, intrigued and even empathetic with life on this planet than merely interested in us as an new interesting protein source.
The nice thing about Christianity though is that for the most part, with the exception of a few kooks, they're all content to leave it to God to handle unbelievers in the next life. If you don't want to believe that's fine. Either you're right, and it's all a fairy tale, or you're wrong and you'll burn in Hell.
400 years ago Christians killed others for less cause.
Take John Calvin one of the founding fathers of Protestantism who had a man burned at the stake because he didn't believe in the trinity.
Or G. Bruno who was also burned at the stake for crimes such as denying the virginity of Mary and believing in plurality of worlds (AKA Galaxies) - the Catholic Church has apologized to Galileo but not Bruno - it is a crying shame.
We had a system quit working that had not been modified in years. Upon investigation the problem was found in a Perl script. The date on file was years in the past. The error was due to a change to a single character and the character was changed by one bit. Someone suggested that this was caused by an "Oh-My-God" particle interaction - who knows?
I use google earth to track our work and research boats on a lake. Each boat has a gps that receives corrections from a reference base station and then sends the data to a terminal server. In real time i have a Perl script that reads the raw gps files and generates KML making the boat positions, heading and speed available to all who care. Pretty darn cool for a free app.
Right you are.... especially things like port powered 232 to 485 converter. Spent a half a day trying to get one to work until I measured the voltage on the handshake lines it was using for power - 3.5 volts which was a 1/10 volt lower than required by the converter.
I was working at Rocketdyne on the Shuttle Main Engines at the time.
When the Challenger exploded we were told over the intercom that a "System Malfunction" happened on flight 51 and the phones went down. It was not until people went out for lunch that they found out really what happened. In the mean time guards came in and confiscated all the engine build log books to prevent someone from going in and "fixing" some data with the sudden realization of a serious error.
Spent the next year helping to prepare a giant report at the request of Richard Feynman.
I have been learning jquery lately. I am still uncomfortable about the functional programming paradigm. I really hate the way it creates highly indented code. At the end of some complex operations with several anonymous functions as arguments you end up with scads of )}: characters and it is easy to get lost in the indentation.
Err... not so.... There are NO uses of electricity that do not dissipate with 100% efficiency to heat eventually.
You may cheat for little while by storage (charge a battery, pump water to high level, run a flywheel) but in the end it all goes into heat. Sorry.
For one thing, only the boy has any chance of understanding such a philosophically complex concept as "Morality".
And if the boy doesn't then what? If that is your first and primary argument it is built on a shaky foundation. It is irrational to assign a value based on cognitive abilities while still holding that human infants and mentally impaired humans still have a higher value than say a dog or chip.
I'm of the opinion that raising the moral value of animals is based on misplaced belief that without such value, their suffering is guaranteed
Your opinion could be based on a stereotype. Raising the moral value of animals comes with realization that it is ethically "good" not to be the source of suffering and pain. The universe may deal suffering and pain indescriminately but cognitive beings such as us have a choice and can make reasoned judgments.
When I was a kid, we raised some "beefers". We had one slaughtered and the other cried and behaved oddly -- the first cow was butchered near the barn, not at some far away place.
I have witnessed this exact same situation. Our neighbors had two cows and had one slaughtered by a mobile slaughter truck. The remaining cow bellowed loudly over and over the next few days and hung around the spot where the other cow was slaughtered.

I think it needs a semi-colon such as...
Pedestrians: use walks not roads"
To clarify the subject. Or more words like you pointed out.
Nevertheless the meaning of the sign is clear, especially realizing that a sign has limited space.
In the words of a former illustrious leader... bring it on!
Thank you, someone gets it here.

When I first read your comment I thought you said torso and wondered how one replaced the walls of ones torso... mine don't look replaceable.

Please tell me you are exaggerating here...

Can someone help me out with the write-ups subject matter with the obscure tenious connection to "late modeled automobiles"
Right on...

Nice work! Mod this fella up....
How about if it is a one-way ticket?
What's Loran-C some strange C dialect? Did Loran-C++ eat its lunch or something.
I am new to Javascript.
However whenever I attempt to use named functions as shown... aka
$(document).ready( function() {
function doThings(index, element){ alert(index); }
$(".test").each(doThings);
});
The function doThings() executes on compile.

Net zero. When the energy extracted is used (ie using a toaster) that energy would be released into the atmosphere.
