Mine too, and he gets rewarded for it. When he first brought one home, he came up to the door, and waited for me to open it and showed me the mouse. I told him that he was a good boy and he promptly pounced on it and devoured it.
If you think your cat is acting weird (not you, PopeRatzo, just in general), it's probably you that needs adjustment. Cats are remarkably clear about what they want and what makes them happy or displeases them.
You cannot design a Windows computer on OSX - there is no parametric 3D CAD, schematic capture, PCB layout, etc. software available on OSX.
You may mean that there is no Solidworks support and no Altium support in OS X. In that, you would be right. However, your claims of no 3D CAD, schematic capture,or PCB layout are all factually incorrect.
You fail at Google. Stop trashing a 6-digit UID with blatantly false information.
Dive into source code? Maybe my time is more important that sifting through poorly structured directories full of 500 source code files each, and the 8000 instances of that variable that grep reported back.
I don't go using pieces of software with 500 files and no documentation if I have any say in it. If you spend all your time cobbling together enormous stacks from hugely bloated libraries with no maintainer, you might run into that issue. If you don't have any say in it, you should try ack. It's like grep, but much more useful for source code.
How many times have you downloaded a project, only to discover they didn't even give you instructions on how to compile or link the damn thing in your project? How many times have you seen a project not list their dependencies so you get to play a 15 minute game of "find the packages"?
Many times. I am also good friends with `rm` and `apt-get`. If it doesn't explain clearly how to link against it, or it isn't obvious, I'm unlikely to spend a large amount of effort using it. It simply gets deleted and I use something better maintained. Documentation aside, if I can't even incorporate the header and library with minimal effort, it doesn't bode well for the usability of the library.
I mean, how can we even discussing the idea that documentation doesn't matter? Is this the real world? Am I dead and in hell?
I'd like you to quote the line where I say "documentation doesn't matter". In fact, try reading the subject of my post. I do, in fact, really like documentation, take advantage of documentation, and prefer projects with good documentation. BUT--it is still a critical skill to be able to get definitive answers without any hand-holding when shit hits the proverbial fan.
I initially taught myself Commodore BASIC v2 from the reference manual. That was my first programming language, and I was a very small child of 4 at the time. Clearly, that was a well written manual. I also have fond memories of QBASIC (yes, fond).
Shortly after, I had the aid of some series of books aimed at children, which taught BASIC. As I recall, they were slim red hardcover books, and one of the examples included a little racing game. I wish I could recall what they actually were titled, as I'd love to own copies for nostalgia (I borrowed them from my local library). I also had some of those young adult books where you type in some BASIC code to see the resulting part of a story. In one of them, you were a time traveler and one of the examples decrypted a secret message. That kickstarted a serious interest in cryptography--with computers, not just a pencil and graph paper.
Then, I learned Pascal, then C, 8086 ASM, and C++, but largely from giant books loaned from other family members (a goodly chunk of my family are/were programmers) and various text files. Later, online tutorials were a huge help.
The fine `man` has served me well over the years. At points, it is too terse or too verbose, but very rarely is it flat-out wrong.
As for other projects, that's what source code is for, right? No programmer worth their salt should be afraid to dive into a random piece of code to answer a question. It's an essential skill to go from having a question to finding the implementation details and understanding them. Often, this is the only way you get a concrete answer.
Yes, I write documentation for my stuff. Yes, I leave useful comments in my code. No, I don't expect there to be documentation for everything, and I rarely use poorly documented crap, but sometimes it is unavoidable. Most of the time, you just have to deal with it head-on (i.e., via reading source code). Occasionally, this includes fixing bugs in some poor sap's library, because you don't have the time to wait for them to fix it.
Yes, I posted a comment about the inappropriateness of the story. Often, things tangential or meta to the story are discussed in the comments.
Interesting does not automatically make something appropriate for a given situation. If the interesting thing was the mechanism of the accident or the novel lifesaving techniques being used to rescue victims, it might have been more appropriate.
I suspect your Pandora stations all mercilessly bleed over into one another.
The Mayor said during his quick press conference they won't speculate on what happened or how or why. Those are the interesting things up for debate in the court of Slashdot.

Pull your electrical for heating (use a MSRE) from the grid. Have a mechanical (gravity operated) backup to kill the heaters if you lose the grid connection, just in case. No more heat, no more power generation. You can come up with something else for dumping the excess load in the short term (pump water, spin a flywheel, doesn't matter).
The reaction product is a liquid made from longchain hydrocarbon compounds, known as blue crude.
So methane is out, although I imagine they get a whole mixture of variously chained hydrocarbons since the graphic talks about using a refinery to split out diesel.
Yes, it does use the water, and yes, you get it back later. The water is split into H2 and O, then 4H2 are used to make CH4. When CH4 is burned in 2O2, you get CO2 + 2H2O. The same applies when they take their "Blue Crude" (very likely methane) and turn it into a longer-chained hydrocarbon.
5: The Sabatier reaction is over 100 years old. The process itself at factory scale may be encumbered by patents. 7: Nickel, ruthenium on alumina, ruthenium on titanium dioxide, and several others have been tried in the open literature.
...and any time you needed a password for something, you could go with your gut!

Identity is a capability. What do you ask someone to do? Identify themselves. How do they do it? By providing a piece of information you know to be known to them, either by fact of being born attached to it, or by fact of regurgitating it somehow.
All the bank needs is assurance that you're the only one likely to possess it, short of dedicated efforts to illicitly acquire it. Assurance is not a black and white thing, settled once and for all; it's a bar you have to jump over. That's the whole idea of security.
You've got to slow the top half down too. Inertia is still a thing. If you suddenly stop the bottom but the top keeps going, you get half a stage. I'm not sure the body is built to take a load from that direction.
How big is a 55 gallon drum? About the size of a bathtub? Asked Google, and it told me:
Many drums have a common nominal volume of 208 litres (55 US gal; 46 imp gal) and nominally measure just under 880 millimetres (35 in) tall with a diameter just under 610 millimetres (24 in) and differ by holding about thirteen gallons more than a barrel of crude oil.
The capacity of an average, US, standard run-of-the-mill built in bathtub filled up to the very bottom of the overflow, which is as full as you can get it is approx. 42 gallons
Let me clarify. All the standard size American Standard tubs are 42 gallons. I also went to the Kohler site and they are the same.
Indeed, you missed the first two paragraphs of the FA.
TOPEKA, Kan. — A 20-year-old man was arrested Friday while trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000-pound bomb near a Kansas military base as part of a plot to support the Islamic State group, federal prosecutors said.
John T. Booker Jr. is accused of planning a suicide attack at Fort Riley, about 70 miles west of Topeka. Prosecutors allege he told an FBI informant he wanted to kill Americans and engage in violent jihad on behalf of the terrorist group, and said he believed such an attack was justified because the Quran "says to kill your enemies wherever they are," according to a criminal complaint.
*intent*, clearly formed and sustained, is all that is needed,
Actually, you need means, motive, and opportunity. There must be a guilty act, and the responsible party must show ability to commit the crime (not demonstrated, since the FBI did everything for him), the motive to commit the crime (clearly demonstrated), and opportunity to commit the crime (it is not clear he would have had opportunity without the FBI giving it to him).

He wasn't suggesting it would reduce capacity, but increase consumption.
Hrm, it seems I would be wrong.

Not particularly. It's been tried throughout history; I don't see why they couldn't do it, again. Question is, who gets the short stick this time?
