   From the Daily Mail? I'm not buying it.

   So what happens to those universes when Hawking radiation causes the black hole to evaporate? And if we're in a black hole, what evidence, if any, do we have for the effects of evaporation?

   Active case management like this ultimately reduces the court's workload. Letting the lawyers run free permits them to bury the courts in paperwork.

   I had the impression that, with recent budget cuts and the like, such active case management was becoming a matter of necessity, lest the courts be completely overwhelmed. In your view, is that correct? That is, of course, not to take anyt

   Oh, I agree with all that. I'm just saying that you can be stopped for no reason even in the USA. I believe they call these pretext stops. That said, I didn't give him a hard time so the cop remained very friendly the whole time and I did

   It means "is", so yes, they do. It's used for predication instead of existence (iru & aru are for existence), but that's probably the more common is in English as well. If you want filler, it's when people are going え～と while trying to

    I often drive home from work very late at night and I've been pulled over and followed for doing absolutely nothing wrong. I think one said my license plate was dirty. They let me go and told me to have a nice night when it was clear that

    Not quite. Servers report tip amounts to their employer and that information goes to their W-2. Because they get tips, servers can be paid less than minimum wage. But even so, if their tips and wages combined aren't enough to get them up

    An asterisk got eaten in your post. You should start lines of code with a couple of spaces to make HN stop doing that. Set(1,2,3,4).map{ _ * 2 } // Set[Int] = Set(2, 4, 6, 8) BitSet(1,2,3,4).map{ _ * 2 } // BitSet = BitSet(2, 4, 6,

    I remember you saying that this was clearly a judge who did his homework. I'm glad to see that he took his time and came up with the well-reasoned judgement I was hoping for. Oracle's case has been coming undone for some time now. I could

    If you know there are only two states, why not have a bool that you flip each time? is_even = !is_even should be a lot cheaper than string comparison or modulus, assuming a reasonable language.

    I believe that they compensated people for putting up files as well. It's not impossible to have a case where you want the copies of your files put up by some other uploader taken down without wanting your own removed. The fact that one c

    I don't claim to be a lawyer, but I have read up on this case, including the indictment. As always, if your interest in legal matters is anything but academic curiosity, consult a lawyer. One thing that stands out to me is that most of thi

    I think there was a previous poll on this that said that Christian hackers were ~30% of this site, give or take, but I might have misremembered that statistic.

    For anyone who didn't know what if expressions look like in Erlang and had to look it up, apparently they use a series of "guard sequences" and the first one to be true determines the return value. If none of the sequences is true, it crea

    Actually, one interesting thing about drones is that, in theory, _all_ activity can be logged. And secondly, the person operating it is in no danger, so there would be absolutely no justification for excessive use of force, because even if

    I never said there wasn't infringing content there. I had never been there, after all, though I just took a quick peek after you linked to it just now. Nothing loaded. That's probably due to noscript, which I wouldn't dare turn off on a

    That's something you should get proper legal advice about. I'm in the same boat, actually, and plan to talk to someone once my friend gives me a referral.
