and isn't conditional on whether the other side also does. Am I wrong?
Yes. In WW2, Germany was a signatory, as were the US and Britain. The Soviet Union wasn't. Hence the Germans were quite fussy about who they surrendered to.
There are many things that could break Moore's law. The major chipmakers could decide it's not economically viable to continue driving density up. A bunch of neo-luddites could assassinate all the the top chip designers. Humanity could nuke itself into extinction.
Unlikely perhaps, but not when compared to rocks suddenly floating above the ground.
Bollocks. If the Romans wanted your money they'd get it by direct methods, generally involving pointy bits of metal, rather than waffling and pleading. And they wore togas, not suits.
But it's not really true that all the errors in wikipedia haven't been noticed. There are errors in there that get corrected, then some 'expert' comes along and reverts them because he knows better.
And trust nme, I know about these things - I have a degree in Nonexistentiology from May-Dupp University.
If by all you mean all you can buy in the west then yes. But rumour has it that several countries in Eastern Europe were more than happy to supply semtex without it if you asked nicely.
You'd make a member for each different unit? So you'd have a.inches, a.feet... a.parsecs? There are quite a lot of them so it seems more sensible to me just to have a number and a unit.
Indeed I was thinking that you'd take the unit from the first argument. While it's true my addition isn't commutative, you'd still get equivalent values - 2 of feet or 24 of inches. Could you control it by initialising the member of the result with the desired unit?, so if c.unit = yard then c.qty = 0.66666' ?
Six, eh? That's one fix, two to fix the bugs the first fix introduced, and two more to fix the bugs the last two introduced. The one left over causes several new serious bugs, but on the positive side it adds realistic 3d shading to clippy.
If you try "audiophile grade" earphones, headphones or speakers (Grado, Shure, Klipsch, Etymotic Research etc) you will likely hear a big difference between the two.
I tried and it sounded the same. I guess I should have used oxygen-free nanomolecular cables and impedance matched anisotropic speaker stands too.
I'm surprised that nobody's said vinyl sounds better yet.
However, if this individual managed to convert sunlight (very energy rich) into electric power... that would be amazingly useful and would have near limitless potential.
Biological organisms have kludges and legacy problems that put anything that humans have made to shame.
You got that right. Reusing a pelvis designed for a small headed, bent-backed ape in an upright spinoff with a huge head - what was he smoking? Sodium/potassium balance in body fluids that emulates the seas when the first vertebrates were around - obviously a Friday afternoon decision.
according to ID, the designer has to be pretty half-assed in a lot of his work.
It's not God's fault. His manager decided it would be easier to tweak existing code than rewrite it cleanly. Because it's cheaper to melt down scrap than to mine & refine new ore.

As for Random Destruction, if there's anyone who has a problem between the ears, it's him. That is where the sarcasm detector is located, isn't it?

Ony another 7 years of linux on the desktop to go untill then.
On the other hand, it could be worse - we could be waiting for the Hurd...

I am so sure the parent should be, like, modded tubular to the max!
Seconded. Basically, it's spying.
Did God tell you that?
In Soviet Russia, Godot said Duke Nukem Forever was sure to be out tomorrow.
1st guy: You did make it heavy enough didn't you - at least twenty million kilos?
2nd guy: We even added a 50% safety margin - we made it thirty million pounds.
