I just tried this btw, If you merge B and C you will only have a conflict if the changes in B and C touch the same regions of the file. If not the merge is made automatically and the changes from both branches are reflected in the new file.

Can you point to a version control system that won't fall all over itself in this case? Also, what would an "ideal" VCS do in such a situation? Btw, have you tried this with git? What happens?

I'm also suspicious of these numbers... Can you really harvest 70lb/wk from a 10x10 plot? For how many weeks?

Since you mentioned Audi: A quick search for "CVT reliability" produces pages of horror stories related to the Audi (and other) CVTs. The CVT is only available on the A4 and A6 (not the A3, A5, A7, A8, Q5, Q7, et al). Also, the CVT is only

I cannot imagine that they are going to be able to carry insurance that will actually cover "anything [that] were to happen to the car". Sounds like a great concept but, as always, the devil is in the details.

Unless you are carrying low/no interest debt you should really pay it off rather than put money into savings. As long as your bank is not evil and keeps dropping your credit limit as your balance decreases you can always borrow again agains

I wonder whether or not there is a difference between the 'ability' and the 'perceived ability' to raise cash quickly. Many people are cash-poor, yes, but I am surprised that over half the population has no cash equivalents, hard assets, or

He mentioned "blur" specifically which is a function of shutter speed, not shutter lag, the latter being the time between the press of the butten and the photo being taken. This too has improved over the years. The largest source of lag is

that is a 'sensitivity' race, actually... Shutter speed, ISO, and Aperture in photography are related in much the same way as Voltage, Current, and Resistance. To change any of those three (in your case shutter speed) you have to compensate
