Surprisingly I think not always, it could depend where it is in the city. I have spoken to people who live in cities with gang-land areas who see attacks (drive by shootings, houses burned out, etc.) as though it was talking about somewhere the other side of the world. If one gang fired a mortar at another's stronghold this probably would not worry them too much.
Sadly I think that many people would be more upset about a day's outage of their bank than a real shell and mortar attack in Somalia, Iraq, or the Gaza Strip.
In the UK, where we have 240v mains 2kw vacuum cleaners are common. They clean really well too - though the scenario in the return of the pink panther involving Inspector Closseu, a parrot and a vacuum cleaner is certainly a possibility.
Agree, trains are a special case where the load of one train accelerating can be supplied by another breaking. Electric cars are a much more useful application, at the moment only light breaking can recharge the batteries.
Dear Mr Anyanwu,
I understand that you and your tribal chiefs held a tribal meeting without lotus notes last Tuesday. This is in direct infringement of our patent, and I hereby issue a cease and desist order. The fact that you have no computer or electricity does not give you the right to ignore our intellectual property rights. If you would like to cont
" Googling someone to see if they're a Nazi child molester on the no-fly list is perfectly legal, and as a hiring manager, you can bet I'm going to keep doing it.
If the web search reveals that someone is gay or their grandfather was black and they were refused employment because of that then it would be discrimination in a legal sense.
It would be hard to prove though if the prospective employer kept quiet about it.
The concept of "no null references" would be very limiting in a language without algebraic datatypes.
Not necessarily. You could mandate default constructors that would be invoked every time that an unreferenced object occurred, so Strings unless explicitly initialised would refer to "", user types to whatever the default constructor produced, and so on.
Yes,
They were about as upset as I would be if someone compared my minivan to a Ferrari and came to the conclusion that the Ferrari was faster.
Like one of the commenters said, it is comparing apples with oranges - Wordpress is for blogging, so blogs are easier to produce. Joomla if a general CMS system, capable of more, but slightly harder to use if you just want a blog.
Psion manifests Ego Whip against Dell and augments it with 16 power points. Dell fails its saving throw, taking 14 points of charisma damage and falling unconcious.
Come on, I can't believe nobody else has said that yet.

Now all they need to do is patent "being the fastest" and collect royalties from anyone who beets them.
In the UK 3kw appliances are common, especially kettles and electric heaters.

What high drain device are you ever going to want to run for that short a time?
A starter motor. Perhaps the heavy lead/acid battery van be replaced by a smaller lighter lithium/ion.
I won't even get into how much people waste in the states watering their lawns, I swear some of my neighbors could fill a pool a week.
You must live in a good neighbourhood. Some of my neighbours could fill a pool a week with their empty beer cans.
Fuck off you British tossers. Keep your fucking pound and get the fuck out of the Community.
Don't insult me. First and foremost I am an English tosser, and proud of it.
The final goal is a manned (!) low-orbital flight.
The result could be some crispy Danish bacon.

Dress as a woman and they'll let you through. Scotsmen traditionally wear skirts to this day.

Never mind them, some will be driving cars.
Sound too much like "pong fart" to me

But don't Nazi children deserve to be molested?

Not really, I will certainly print out his admission and have it ready for every project I work on in future ;-)

Which comes from Pascal - which has always had the length at the beginning. Hence why pascal strings always had limits.
And originally from Cobol, where strings were fixed length (says he with 90% certainty)
Please understand there is a difference between a null pointer and a null reference. The difference is very important in C++.
In C++ the difference is purely syntactical, and nothing that a * or a & won't fix.
Though if you were designing a language you could dissallow the use of ptr as a boolean or numeric value, and force operations like
if (! valid ptr) {
}

, would allow any Minister by order to take from anywhere any information gathered for one purpose, and use it for any other purpose.
If I had the right to do that I would start by taking the bill and shoving it up the Prime Minister's arse.
