I used to have a 10 digit pin (this was in 1995/1996 with Wells Fargo). It was fine for the ATM, but this was also about the same time I started seeing self-swipe payment devices at registers. Most of them could only handle the 4 digit variety. I actually picked my grocery store based on which one would take my 10 digit pin (I paid cash or check everywhere else).
Since, I've stuck to the less secure 4 digit variety because it's convenient.
Don't make it tones but sounds....I can just hear the See and Say voice now.
The button goes...MOOOO The button goes...BAAAA
Even still, I'm pretty tone def and I can at least tell escalating pitch even if I can't match it vocally. As long as the colors and the pitches correspond, they should be ok.
The traffic lights have the benefit of fixed positioning. The red (or shade of grey, whichever you see) is ALWAYS at the top or left. With the lock created, the colors move, so you need to make sure that the intensity of the color is different so that you see light grey / dark grey or what have you.
Not to mention that the CO2 produced while tilling the soil is probably more than offset by the CO2 --> O2 process of the plants while they are growing. And as mentioned in the parent post that growing plants keeps the soil from erroding. And that there were only *so* many dinosaurs, once they run out, they run out.....but switchgrass keeps growing and growing. And besides, most "farmers" these days are large corporations, not Ma and Pa. The large corporation would be more likely to balance between switchgrass and food crops (regulate supply and demend of both such that you maximize profits on both).
How is organized crime that much different than the current government? They use threats and violence to institute their policies. They take that which isn't theirs. Their machinations benefit the few at the expense of the many.
Surely all you have to do is make frequent back-ups of your critical data and the virus becomes pointless.

Sure the coast would be submerged, but we'd have a new coast. Humans will move. Breadbaskets will no longer be able to produce at the same levels, but guess what, other areas would benefit. If the Sahara desert instantly became fertile, we'd take advantage of it. Change or not, we'll make the best of the situation we have. It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last.
Whether right or wrong, his point was made in answering the question "Are we going to die?" (with the assumption being because of how poorly we've treated the planet on which we live). The GP's point was that, barring war, most of us will make it to at least 70.....and very likely that our children will as well. Or, in short, his answer was "no, not any time soon".
My take: it's called the greenhouse effect for a reason. Plants thrive in a greenhouse because of the trapped moisture, the tropical conditions, etc. We've increased CO2 which plants "breath". The temperature is rising which actually helps most plants. etc. etc. etc. More plants means more CO2 converted to 02. Humans have become more aware of the problem and will make a few better choices. I think the planet will make some swings back and forth, but we'll adapt and move on.
I'd like to think of it as the solution to the Star Trek movie problem......if only the odd ones are good, skip the even ones, conversely, if only the even ones are good, skip the odd.

select items.item + increments.increment from items, increments where items.rownum = increments.rownum Layne
Just like those contests to write Conway's game of life in as few lines of C code as possible.....
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
I'm sure not even many Python programmers would make sense of that gibberish, but the code should be readable to anyone with a programming background even without knowing the language. I know what loops are and arrays and object references and, etc. But this load of crap is complex just to be complex.
My best interpretation of this code is that is transforms the string of numbers as some sort of message and prints it to the screen, but I'm not going to bother trying to figure out what the message is. Even without knowing the language, I assume LAMBDA is some dynamic definition of the named parameter. But why wouldn't I just write printf( "Some message?" )?

Yeah, I personally was glad when they came out with that "blackest black" material.

C programmers don't know how to count, anyway.
(I know, I know.....it's an offset from the pointer, so it's really offset 0, offset 1, etc.)

Publicity is especially important in quantum physics because we don't know if they are working or not working until they are observed.

I don't find any holes because (like most developers), once it compiles, it's "perfect".....any bugs are PEBCAK issues.
