college age voters are one of the most active (if not most numerous) voting brackets in the country. Plus they usually vote democratic.
Plus they usually know how to spell "indefinitely." Note the word "finite" buried in there. If you can remember that you'll always be able to spell it.
A different useful modification to mobiles I can think of is to have an additional answer button that stops the phone vibrating/ringing while the callee moves to a non-obtrusive area.
If you press the power button on a ringing Nokia phone the sound will stop, but the call is not yet answered, giving you time to change your location before answering.
Why is it that no matter what the topic, somebody always says "This is old news," as if new technology should simply spring into existence, fully formed and functional. Of course it's based on previous work. All science is. "Shoulders of giants," and all that.
A contract is a description of an agreement. If I switched papers then that paper does not descibe our agreement. There is no "Meeting of the minds."
This doesn't mean that no one has ever been forced to abide by a contract to which they hadn't agreed, but that is not because it was a legal contract. It was because the written contract was better evidence than one party saying "He tricked me," but that is a practical matter, not the actual ideal of contrqact law. If there were perfect evidence the contract would not be enforcable.
Not in the least. When you go to the store and get an item, it has a UPC on it.
Not all stores do this. in fact not too long ago none of them did. The clerk relied on the sticker price. If you went in with your own stickers and changed the prices so that you could cheaply buy the stuff you can bet you'd be going to jail if you got caught.
True, but you handed the modified agreemnent back to them, and they still honored it. Doesn't that show their agreement?
Suppose you were going to do some work for me at the rate of $200 an hour. We drew up a contract, you read it and agreed to it. Just before you were going to sign it I switched it by sleight of hand so that you were actually signing a contract that said you'd get $7 an hour. Do you think you're now obligated to work for $7?
It's not necessary to put the form back on the Web server.
PUT doesn't put the form "back on the Web server." It submits it. These people are editing the hidden fields, then submitting it for processing. By blocking PUT that can't happen. Of course, blocking PUT is not helpful, in that the other method would be GET, which sticks the form info into the URL. To fix this "problem", one simply has to not rely on the user's browser to say what the prices are. I can't believe anyone would have developed an app like that, but apparently they have.
And I've thus far managed to make every (yes, EVERY) database I've ever used core dump. ...
I didn't actually break Informix; one of my friends working as a DBA for Cornell broke that in production, was corroborated, and that's good enough for me.
I really liked your first post, but those two statements taken together tend to weaken your credibility.
OK, let's see:
Two gerbils (living)
One coke bottle (empty)
Pair of sunglasses (polarized)
Copy of TeenBeat magazine (bookmarked)
One box Quaker's Instant Grits (fortified)
That's about it, it's pretty dark. Wait a minute... it's all stars!
Did you see the Non-Standard tag, or read the usage note for the entry?
Usage Note: The label Non-Standard does only approximate justice to the status of irregardless. More precisely, it is a form that many people mistakenly believe to be a correct usage in formal style but that in fact has no legitimate antecedents in either standard or nonstandard varieties.
As far inflammable goes, using other words as examples in English is pretty much pointless. However, to answer your question, yes we should throw out inflammable, as there is the opportunity to misinterpert it as meaning fireproof, thanks to the "in" prefix, which generally negates the suffix.

It came to a sudden halt.
No irony there. No sir.

They call it lead, but it's actually just graphite.
No, it just seems that way.
I think that Oracle Press also has a software division.
Oh, you're the one.
For instance?

I imagine that that "somehow" would the same way it got it in the first place.

Maybe he misspelled "Whitey."
Do you realize you misspelled misspelled?
