But, but. The protective cover keeps it shiny!
No, seriously. I hate people that do this so much. I have to take the protective covers off any item that's actually being used and not intended to be resold.
That's not the worst of it! 76 percent of responders would pick up a penny on the ground if they saw it! That won't even cover 0.1% of your co-pay when you break your back or get an infection from a dirty penny.
But the randomness is determined if one takes a deterministic assumption towards physics. So the use of the word "random" would just be convenient from a language perspective. Fix the subset by placing an assumption on the larger set. Sounds primarily like a language issue. Perhaps they should call the process chaotic, instead. Chaotic being "complex", not "without reason".
And to those that want to argue about how quantum mechanics disproves determinism as a philosophical stance (there are plenty of you out there) please be certain you have the differences down between randomness and uncertainty.
Probably depends heavily on body chemistry. I'm a 24/7 stoner and sometimes lapse for a day or two for various reasons. While, yes, it would be nice to be able to light up some, all I find is that I get more annoyed with things that always irritate me. But that's a large part of why I started smoking in the very place so it's really back to same-old-same-old. That asshole that just cut me off? I'm high and don't care. Chemically induced apathy is a VALUABLE tool.:) Particularly when you're prone to being stressed and anxious.
I can't help but agree. I argue instead that the Bible presents many common sociological scenarios and provides capacity for thought experiments so as to allow the reader to imagine methods of sidestepping and avoiding sociological problems. As the goal of morality will vary from person to person and can be argued, putting up the goal to maintain sociological order seems noble.
From this, I'd argue that religion can be a subset of morals but is not necessarily so.
Can't help but agree. I fulfill the "bright but lazy" category quite adequately. And I abuse the shit out of it on the job. I'll show up an hour late and then spend 20 minutes fixing equipment worth a few hundred that's been broken for years. It's a small student job but it fulfills my desire for intellectual stimulation while also allowing me to slack off to my maximum.:)
I can't say I've put a whole lot into learning IT but apparently I'm good at it. Geekhood comes down to your ability to absorb. Not the source of your ability to absorb.
I'm assuming you're an old-fart by your UID but I do believe you are a decade off. Core Duo was released in '06 and that's the first consumer-grade dual-core processor I'm aware of.
I've thought about the version control, too. Modern government really should be leveraging ideas from other fields. Particularly ones that have been bred and grown in its inception. Computer science and much of engineering should be looked into for ideas that can be reapplied. Official legal discussion forums would be cool so the government could get a vibe on what's popular, for instance. I imagine like normal forums, it would primarily be full of legal buffs.
Because 1920x1200 monitors are usually about double the cost of their 16:9 brethren. Sorry, but that 120 pixels of vertical real-estate isn't worth 100+ dollars.
Optimization engines should take given FOV into account. I've seen a lot of hardcoded FOV optimizations put in place. Fortunately it's not usually an issue on engines that let you adjust FOV in the options. But dare you edit a config file...
You're right, it is just stupid programming. The lack of compatibility is just a product of cutting corners in interface design. Having a bit of scalability in mind would easily rectify this. Some really old games do incredibly well with this. I've seen relatively smaller games have an amazing capacity to configure the setup for strange aspect ratios and the like. So, to me, there's no excuse for AAA games to not support features like this out of the box. Maybe the issue stems from the "reference system" model that they have. Rather than design a game to work well with whatever you put it on, it's common for the designers to slap together a target system that the game should work good on. Unfortunately, this can leave the higher end suffering. When trying to play Red Faction: Guerrilla at 3240x1920, the game lagged immensely. I'm trying to understand what might be causing this and I don't imagine there's forced AA in the background. At lowest settings this problem still arises. I'm under the impression that the game was over-optimized for a certain class of computers and that these optimizations left little room for high end machines to work with.

The world is devoid of meaning aside from that which you inscribe upon it. Shallow, perhaps. But a blank palette is the best type to start on.

Squirrels like the casing because they make it using peanut oil, I've heard. Might be worth looking it up, though. ;)
I'd rather have some more flavorful Hunt's ketchup without all that nasty HFCS.It's not that I think it's bad for you, it's just gross.
It sounds like it's the other way around. The jerk pricing is the entry level pricing and you get discounts as you get confirmed as a nice person.

Just some thoughts from an atheist.
History books? Yeah, I've seen those on the Internet.
Hurp durp. I feel dumb now, thanks.
If I had mod points this would be sure to get a couple. Who hijacked kdawson's account? Pretty epic.
I've know some FPS players that want to ironically beat you with sticks.

Well played, sir.
Well said! I can't believe how many times I've run up against this. I might just have to take your approach, good sir.
I'm assuming you're an old-fart by your UID but I do believe you are a decade off. Core Duo was released in '06 and that's the first consumer-grade dual-core processor I'm aware of.
Ellowell, sir. I wish I had mod points.

Trademark laws are to prevent confusion of product lines. There's not a case here if they're offering real iPads.

Good thing the redlight cameras were voted out at the end of last year.
Yes, unfortunately that would require developers actually consider us multiscreen people. Though, I do like your approach.
