That quote doesn't explain why the abbreviation was used about a hundred years before stabndard oil introduced the blue barrel, as claimed by the wikipedia quote in the comment you ansered to. In fact, your quote just reiterates the claim t

If you say that it parsed "rest in peace" correctly, does that mean that it mis-parsed "rest in peas" and so commited the error mentioned in the article of replacing the unexpected word that carries most of the meaning with the most likely

I don't, but google does. http://jimwarholic.com/2009/04/fdd-floppy-disk-drive-emulato... They seem to be quite expensive, so unless you really must have a physical device with the right connector, you are better off buying a new computer

Like he said, the discrepancy is when you are not logged in. I can see his info and his private profile pic although I don't even have a facebook account and the html version gives me a 404.

The german (alledged facebook ripoff) MeinVZ/SchülerVZ/etcVZ seems to do something in this direction with its OpenSocial interface. Instead of exposing your real account, you can generate additional pseudonymous personas that look just like

Yes, it just tells you that the detector seems to work. High energy physics experiments mostly rely on statistical analysis of large numbers of events these days. There are occasionally situations where there may be a single decisive "golde

People tried running windows viruses under wine, but the success rate was not that great. (I can't copy and paste URL on thic stupid cell phone, so ask google for "virus wine linux" for the details.)

His argument that a library that accepts an interface without declaring all possible exceptions a method of that interface might throw is badly designed is misguided. This assumes that the writer of the library can know all possible custom

The problem is that it keeps using an IP address after the lease has run out and the address may have been given out to another device. The difference between universities that see this problem and those that don't is probably that the latt

Omitting irrelevant facts is the whole point of news publishers in the informaton age. You don't pay them to find information, you pay them to filter information.

And then they went sueing other people over it. And it seems that Xerox didn't actually think they gave Apple this permission, as they in turn sued Apple over it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_v._Microsoft

I don't think it is that new, it is just an instance of the same control fetishism that has permeated the company since it started to see itself as the only entity legally allowed to rip off the Xerox PARC user interface concepts some time

Most servers are easier to put in a rack with two persons. And if you do it only very occasionally, hiring a second admin just for that might be slightly wasteful.

Finland is officially bilingual, too, and a significant number learn finnish as a second language (like this Thorvalds guy you might have heard about). The rest start learming swedish as the second language in grade 3, IIRC.

But that means people eating more fruit and vegetables will actually increase the cancer rate in the society, as fewer people die before they develop cancer (which is an almost inevitable event in an ageing body). Of course, this is related

Smarphones have always been horrible. Have you ever tried to install a JavaME app that does something more useful than storing a high score on a phone? Or dealt with this symbian signing nonsense more than a year or so ago (they made it sli

Probably. But I cannot tell, because in opera mini this whole "essay" is just an empty white rectangle.

That is what I said, yes, except that I wanted a tool that does the inlining. But as another comment said, that tool would probably not worth the hassle, too.

So what you would need is a bit of logic that applies your site-wide css to your landing page html on the server side and sends that to the browser, either on demand or by statically producing a transformed html page. Does anybody know abou

The point is that the diagrams you linked to don't tell you anything about the semantics. For example, according to the python diagram, there is absolutely no difference except for the parameter definition between what is allowed in a norma

That doesn't refute the statement that the semantics behind the simple looks of python are complex. All that the simple grammar shows is that python looks simple. That was a given.
