She asked me what PH meant.
I said (remembering my chemistry) "percentage hydrogen"
"OK", she said, "why does it go from 0 to 14, and what hydrogen? like hydrogen in water?"
Uhm... lets ring Grandad (my dad was a research chemist).
A bit later...
"He says its the inverse natural logarithm or "cologarithm" of the number of active hydrogen ions"
Me "Uh.... that's great".
Later that week
"Did you get a good mark for your homework?"
"Yes. Only the teacher said that for GCSE If I am asked what PH is just to put 'a measure of acidity and alkalinity', or the marker might not know and mark it incorrect'".
Schools must provide sex education lessons by law. Parents can opt their kids out but its rare. The lessons don't include the half answers above (which I could not find on the website) and are pretty accurate.
No it hasn't. That guy was kind enough to give it away in an open way. This is the *point* of open source software, to be generous, and let everyone benefit from your work.
The guy might quite reasonably want to restrict use to other people who want to share code for free. Like if I run a "bring a bottle" party I am not too upset if everyone brings something, even if some drink more than they bring. I would not like it if someone went round collecting the bottles and selling them at the local market though.
If you don't want to come because "it's not really a free party then that's up to you - but don't complain about me making my own rules.
How could they ever abuse this "hack" anyway? "Hey man check the MI5 website by following my link here, it's a really cool governmental agency really. Please click!"
Hey, did you know that someone on the MI5 site with your name is listed as a terrorist. He lives in the (your city) region as well. I'd watch out if I were you, someone might get the wrong idea. Here's a link so you can check it out yourself.
Make any rule you want. At some point someone will violate it.
You realise that you have created a rule.
For your rule to be true someone will have to make a rule that will not at any point be violated by abyone
which means that your rule would then be false...
IEven without AI, robots are putting humans out of work at an alarming rate. The problem is that instead of creating new jobs, the government is building more jail cells;)
After the computerise the legislature that will be the future. 99.9% of the human population for breaking laws they didn't understand. Computers will efficiently produce food and water for the population - which could probably go up to 30 billion or so. The Christian Right should be pleased with this - maximum justice for the greatest number of people.
A few people do. I had a manager who used a fountain pen and wrote in beautiful copperplate. He used to often add a few hand written lines to the bottom of printed documents like a personal thank you note along with payment to a contractor or a "I hope that you are pleased with this" note to a customer. A lot of people really appreciated this personal touch, I am sure it helped with getting repeat business.
Actually it just show that reading cursive is a skill that's going too. I recently did some family research and had to ask my mother to read some of the letters. She could easily read what I would have had to transcribe a character at a time.
They will interpret "As long as all customers are treated fairly" to mean that if you block Vonage fro one customer its OK as long as you block it from all the others.
But when we finally get to Gnu Hurd land we will have hot and cold rain at a mouse-click. I don't know why you are so worried about the past - think of the future.
I have a friend who navigates everywhere by pubs. I thought it was just in the city we live in but he gave me directions to another city once that was just the same."Come off the motorway junction and take the second exit at the roundabout. Two roads after the "cock and bottle" turn left. Carry on for a couple of miles - you'll pass "the red Lion" and "the King's Arms", then its on the right a hundred yards past the "Pig and Whistle".
The rate pubs are closing he will soon not be able to get anywhere
In a single process environment all calls are blocking. So the fact that you use the term non-blocking suggest that you are implicit making use of more than one *process*
It amazes me...
In a single process and single threaded environment all calls are non-blocking (I know this is pedantic, as almost any system call will involve another process).
Will it support Internet Explorer? Seriously this could be a propaganda coup for Microsoft. The layman who does not understand open source or the fact that Microsoft would be free to produce a version for explorer for any open OS . I can imagine some M$ lawyer saying "why do you complain about Windows coming bundled with explorer and not Chrome when you can't even run explorer in the Chrome OS".
Slashdot Mirror
Looks to me like someone has worked out how to encode a secret message and make it look like a long, rambling and pointless slashdot story.

I'll second that. An hour standing in a queue is far more tiring on the feet than a six mile (about 2 hour) walk.
"Too lazy to come up with a relevant answer, ya fucking homo." (before you mod this down rtfa.)
You'd have thought that a mobile provider might figure that these guys move around.

Absolutely, If you have a PC with a 3G wireless card you should not be allowed to install any software.
Amazon double-plus-un-good
Doublethink. Just get the customers to think that there never was such a book, and that they hadn't read it half way through.

My old brain's getting tired.
Add "Democratic" to the name for that Extra Touch of Class.
The Democratic people's front of Mozilla! Pha! Splitters.

They mean the java.lang.OutOfMemoryError I am sure
I don't think anyone should be attacked for being a suspect, it doesn't seem fair.
Why not. It worked when we "suspected" Iraq of having WMDs?
US Government websites attacked... but slashdot is OK so what the heck.
