I'll just remark that for water, I do want to drink a pure chemical, possibly with a little bit of minerals in, if it can't be helped.

Of all the data they could store about me, having a 6-month (or 12 or 24 etc) long cache of "account X had IP Y at time Z" sounds like the most benign. As long as that data is only given out in response to a court order, I don&#x2

Sometimes it has some element of truth, i.e. it's a fictionalized and dramatised account of the real accomplishments of a person.

I tried clicking and dragging the knobs, nothing happened and I concluded they're non-interactive. What mouse interaction do they respond to?

Isn't the translated version only licensed for sale in the specific country of that language? So even if they wanted to they can't sell you a movie with all audio tracks?

Maybe you could come in, show them your Netflix subscription and you'll get the movie you want on an USB flash drive you have to return. You can then repurpose all the display cases with, as you noted, interactive movie exhibits and in

To be annoyingly pedantic, ocean water is unfit to drink, i.e. contains too much salt, so you can very easily die of thirst in the middle of the ocean. Just s/ocean/any big lake/

Yeah but this is easy to manage and predict. You tell everyone to do X work, where X is somewhere in the bottom quartile of productivity. If someone does less, you tell them to pick it up - it's pretty likely they're slacking off

If Comcast ever over-deliver, I'll eat my hat.

I think you'll find it easier to get hired as a manager at Comcast, then use political shenanigans to replace the HR department with a trusted posse of like-minded individuals and following that replace all of management. Then you can

I don't doubt the story's plausibility, but I'm left wondering how the student could have replaced the compiler with his own. Usually you need root in order to mess around with the system like that.

Let me add * gcc dies with internal compiler error when you try to compile with debug symbols.

I concur. I don't really get the name "transducer". It's just map+reduce? So... why do we need a new name and new libraries?

Hm.. if I delete the element from the DOM without clicking the button (trivial if you use the inspector), does this imply I do not confirm that I've received the Copyright Alert? Edit: Also, I'm sure most people will just click th

Remember Microsoft's patented triple-e tactic: 1. Embrace 2. Extend 3. Extinguish We're at step 2. They've gotten pretty fast at it, I must say.

Not so much sarcasm, as cynicism... I mean it, if the current employer-employee dynamic persists, either you need women to sacrifice their career, or pay someone to bear your children. Which you then have no time to raise, so you pay someon

Don't monitors have colour calibration settings that can be set programatically? So you can change the output light intensity that corresponds to each of 0-255, i.e. change the voltage applied to the crystal at each of them?

Yeah, but that way it's displayed out in the open and you can make a mistake copying it. I think just exchanging usb flash storage sticks is preferable unless you sufficiently distrust the system you're on.

Maybe the only answer is to air-gap the two devices and have the user input a secret code shown on the dongle. So you press the button, type the code on the website and log in that way. Edit: Or maybe have two devices: one dumb flash storag

That's generally the rule in C/C++-land. If you have two shared objects/dlls linked into your program that are linked with different versions of the C++ runtime, it's not safe for an object allocated by one to be freed b

LCDs do smart processing. In the past reaction time of the crystals was also kind of slow, but that isn't a factor nowadays. It's just the various filters that are applied on top of the image to make it "pop" more. Edit:

He's right though. Real programs run on real hardware, that has inherent limitations, that have to be reflected in the programming language somehow. Law of leaky abstractions and all that.
