  1. Re:Indeed. C++ is a better C on Why ESR Hates C++, Respects Java, and Thinks Go (But Not Rust) Will Replace C (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 2

    You can use a template with a type parameter that indicates if the size is compile-time or runtime. Eigen takes this approach with matrices.

  2. Re:Sigh, no they didn't on Scientists Have Mathematical Proof That It's Impossible To Stop Aging (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Living and aging are the same thing. Obviously aging can be stopped.

  3. Re:I call BS on Is the Optical Cable Dying? (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Would mirroring or cloning the display avoid that?

    Coming soon... New Bitcoin, Bitcoin Classic, Bitcoin Cherry, Diet Bitcoin, Bitcoin Zero and Bitcoin Life.

  5. Re:Make their USE/DISPLAY illegal... on 'Call For a Ban On Child Sex Robots' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Sexual child molestation that involves mutilating children's genitals, by their parents, usually involving a third party, just for cultural conformity or religious doctrine is very common. It amazes me that parents would do this to their children. It's like some fucked-up version of the Milgram experiment.

    The accelerating ones are valid too! Although in some of those the Sun isn't rotating around the Earth. Which is nice if you like sunsets that don't.

    Being an agalmatophile shouldn't be illegal either. And if we can turn pedophiles into agalmatophiles, isn't that a good thing?

  8. Re:I know, I know! on Hanoi Plan To Ban Motorbikes By 2030 To Combat Pollution (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Motorbikes in Hanoi are, on average, only 40cm long.

  9. Re:Lazy Westerners on Colombian Airline Wants To Make Passengers Stand (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Standing (Airbus idea) seats seem like a much better idea than having passengers loose. There's also saddle seats (Aviointeriors), which I'd think would be a very good way to lose your customers to another airline. I assume a few Italians think otherwise.

    I'm sure you're mistaken, Michael Fallon, Conservative MP, drunk driver, and graduate in Classics and Ancient History, says they're properly protected.

    Heat is disorganised energy.

  12. Re:Wonderful on Los Angeles Tests Reflective 'Cool Pavement' On Streets (dailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    43% of the sun's radiation heat is visible, so it should be possible to have a black surface that reflects less heat than a white one. Even one that's perfectly white. Although if the surface could convert the visible light into the infrared or ultraviolet, you can have a black surface that relects all the heat. That would be cool (sorry) to compare to a white surface that absorbs everthing except visible light.

    I prefer "Interconnected Internet Networked Device Things or Objects".

  14. Insanity is repeatedly using MB and expecting different values.

  15. -68 dB doesn't seem too bad.

    I'm wondering what they were using before...

  17. I think it depends on the language. You'd want it in C. But what about high-level languages? All control commands can be replicated with gotos, but look at the reverse, shouldn't all high-level languages have a specific control statement instead?

  18. Re:Another dumb fuck on After London Attack, PM Calls For Internet Regulation To Fight Terrorists (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Every pixel in that photo is accurate, especially those four pixels where his little finger might be. It's not like it's an enlarged image of a lossy jpeg. You can clearly see that his hand is covered in barnacles, and he's holding a large glowing white crystal. Also his little finger isn't behind the crystal, it's obviously completely gone! In fact, I think I can see his missing finger in the same photo. See the woman to the left? There's a bright spot on her nose, which indicates there's an object lodged in her left nostril.

  19. Terrorism: The use of unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

    There needs to be a word for the use of terrorism in the pursuit of political aims. Terrorismism?

    Anyway, it wasn't long before some cunt used this as an excuse to further their own political aims.

    Google provides the updates/patches for *everyone*

    Google updated my Nexus 7 for about 18 months. They stopped at the end of 2015.

  21. Not necessarily. This only works if the watermarks are completely different. You might still leave watermarks that indicate groups of customers. So if the pair are unique within a particular group, for example, they would be identifiable. If not, you've still narrowed the number of suspects. Change the groups in future movies and you might be able to identify the customers eventually.

    How am I going to download all those illicit copyrighted jokes!

    Yup. If they can't provide updates for their own stuff, I doubt this will lead to updates for third-party stuff.

  24. I'm guessing that half is the parents, and the other half - that disagrees - is the children.
