I don't pay attention to that... I just filter out blogwhoring and retarded stories, for the most part. So, being out of the loop, I thought Roland in the tags referred to King Roland, especially given the subject matter of this particular story.
There are three possibilities for radius: 0 (singularity, where God tried to divide by 0); positive but less than event horizon radius, or equal to event horizon radius. You are right, of course, that it doesn't matter at all which one of these is right, since it's impossible to observe anything at or inside the event horizon. And you are also right that calculus ought to be damned.
You mean "a radius of less than 3km or 9mm, respectively," don't you? As long as the event horizon is outside of the object's physical radius, the object will not be observable, is what I've been led to understand.
How about instead of asking this you just go read the article posted hours ago about the creator of c++ and his views on education?
More than likely, this Ask Slashdot was submitted days ago, long before the Stroustrup article was posted. The real person to blame here is, of course, kdawson, who actually posted both articles on the main page within about 5 hours of each other. Just be glad that the substance isn't as bad as it could be.
Yes, spending more time getting my picture taken at the DMV so that facial recognition software can spot me wherever I go would make me happy and promote my friendliness.
Candy corn is the only product I can think of that has been sold more than a billion times by a single company. Or did you mean that more than a billion different units of each have been sold by a single company?
I can't quite figure out if you are listing euphemisms for lesbians or products produced in the billions with some random lesbian action thrown in for good measure.
I use it for all my browsing at work with two exceptions: Windows Update and one particular web application I use that works fine in Firefox but believes Chrome to be a too-old version of Safari.
The "jury of your peers" thing is more accurate when you are talking about a criminal case. In reality, you are entitled to a jury selected from a panel that represents a cross-section of the community in which the case is venued. If you are on trial for a crime, venue will be where the crime was committed and the jury will consist of people who live there, which likely are your peers on one level or another. But the actual term "jury of your peers" is just a handy moniker for journalists and TV writers, not a legal term that describes the right to trial of cases by jury.
Non-competes are enforceable in different circumstances in each jurisdiction. Common factors include:
Limitations in time, subject matter, and geographical area
Ownership interest in the company
Access to trade secrets and their relation to the prohibited competition
Whether you were aware of the agreement's terms when you signed it
(Critical in some places --) Whether enforcing the agreement will affect third parties - for instance, a temporary staffing company preventing its employees from competing in the market might prevent other people from getting work and making child support payments
This is why you need to get a lawyer. A lawyer in your jurisdiction can do the legal research and determine how likely it is that a court would enforce your agreement.
More interesting to me is not whether they are sexually compatible with modern humans, but whether a Neanderthal infant raised by humans would learn their language and adapt to domestic living, or if his mental wiring and instincts would prevent that.

Nope. I like 0 better. :P

3-D puck to the face FTW.
I was in special education classes for accelerated cynicism.
These days? Just how new are you to this?
I am more capable of making a mouse at home than I am of making a screw or Pepsi. Have you ever tried to produce either of those products at home?
Like Pepsi and screws?

Define 'complex product.'
Spaghetti.

What alternative do you recommend?
Subject - and get a lawyer.
Don't forget her personality. Do you like women for whom the best pickup line consists largely of clubbing and dragging?
It's just an old wise tale
Old wive's tale.
I don't think he heard you. You'll have to wait until he's back from kissing this guy.
That depends. Is she hot?
