People think that 0.999... is not 1 but that there is an infinitely small space between those two (.999... and 1).
But just keep in mind that the number 0.1 is accuraretly displayed in the decimal system, but in the binary system it is 0.00011001100110011001100110011001 and so on.
It is the same number. Just our system of displaying it cannot handle it.
1/3 (base 10) cannot be accurately displayed in base10. It can be in base 3 (0.1). Same number, still.

I say, the palestinians should go where they came from!
Recently here in Germany, the Volswagen-Group had a problem with its Skoda-Brand. Its image was too good eating off Volkswagen-Market Share. So they now try to demote it a little bit so it becomes more attractive to those who would otherwise buy some Asian-brand cars in the lower sector.
In their ideal world, target audiences of Skoda and VW would not overlap.
because it states "The badges you see above will be used for systems with discrete Radeon and FirePro graphics cards. The lower row omits the AMD logo, so PC makers shipping Intel-based systems will be able to avoid the oil-and-water combo of Intel and AMD branding, if they wish."
So if I drop them on an altar, I will see if they are blessed, uncursed or cursed.
Beware!!! If they are cursed, you will be unable to remove them from your rig, once put in action.
Valve should get its priorities straight...

and stop doing such nonsense as releasing and developing games but release the native steam client for linux.
Seriously, it has been long enough now.
After that, you can go back to business as usual and do as many games and mods and maps (and whatnot) as you like and I – as a long time linux user – can finally start caring!
d) I guess you will get fired for not complying to some company policy you have... (the smart money is on Rule 1 "don't speak up when knowing better than management")
Did they not learn this in programming school? Does not every programming tutorial and system administrator handbook start with this?
The first thing I learned (fortunately not the hard way) was, that, nevermind the specs, input is allways malformed, user input doubly so...
It is plenty funny here in Germany, because all those conservative/right-wing nutjobs (frankly, more than half the country) who constantly talk about how foreigners here in Germany should play by our rules, abide our social standards and integrate into our society as we see fit, are now saying, that the Africans should celebrate football/soccer like we do in Europe and that the vuvuzelas should be banned.
Worst of all: They do not even see their own hippocracy and I was nearly thrown out of a pub for being unpatriotic.
Am I right in my assessment, that they first leave your door wide open. And once a burglar entered and set off the burglar-detection, they refuse to install a lock in your door?
That is why I so much miss Foobar for Linux. I hate the concept of the music library and I loved the Foobar Playlist Model (where I could create compilations from all my shares in my network).
I loved the multi-threading and parallelism in Windows ME.
Your Explorer.exe could crack and become unresponsive while your filesystem was being corrupted and that was all happening while Windows was preparing a bluescreen. I really missed that in XP. There, this would all happen one thing at a time (but you were sure as hell it would happen).
I sometimes miss this kind of certainty on my Linux desktop.
Looks like Tanenbaum will have been right after all,
I mean, a vast amount of cores and huge parallelism is the advent of the micro- and exokernel, isn't it? This would be the simplest way to harness the multiple cores (instead of modifying a monolithic kernel to use multiple cores)

Didn't Libre Office asked Oracle to join their Board of Directors?

You'd think double would be enough

So, in that matter, having a dictator and beeing free in the sense of not having to make decisions is free as well?
