I'm not Dutch, but I have allowed myself to be told that in the Dutch university system nearly every applicant gets accepted, and those with insufficient course credits get kicked out at the end of first year. Is there even a hint of t

CSV if you do it as in RFC 4180 [1] already has everything the link describes, plus pretty good interoperability with most things out there. If you abused CSV you could even store binary data, while ASCII has no standard way to escape the d

I really liked my N900's physical keyboard. My muscles still remember the layout even though I hardly use it nowadays.

I thought the opposite: it makes for a lot influence on Ukraine only if it remains a part of Ukraine. Yesterday I thought Putin would back off after having made a point of "protecting Russians abroad".

She is fully expecting to dishonor her family in the near future, just not before they have paid for her college.

All her problems boil down to a lack of money. She should just take a student loan to become "financially independent". No idea if she has access to one though

Something which everyone so far has failed to mention is corruption. Tanzania is hardly the model of democracy. Putting some foreigners into the mix brings some extra certainty on how the money gets spent, even if the foreigners have their

Yeah, it would be nice to see a "where would they come from?" analysis, especially vs success in lower education or something.

The real difference between Chernobyl and Fukushima are the earthquake and tsunami which killed tens of thousands and leveled much more infrastructure. Fukushima makes for a very poor counterpoint to nuclear energy; the nuclear accident pal

The site was heavily associated with small time trading of drugs and weapons and what not. While US law might be overly harsh on the criminals, I can't really bring myself to feel bad for the half a dozen people who had any substantial

They would have only needed a log of all connections within a very short time window (a timing attack, which ofc is not tor specific, after all someone might chain a proxy and tor). If the terrorism card is on the table I wouldn't be s

The current theories of physics do not even begin to offer an explanation for "subjective experience"/consciousness, which definitely has everything to do with the brain.

I disagree on dvorak, except in the sense that even dvorak doesn't remap the most awkward keys: backspace and control. If you put backspace on caps lock and control on alt gr (then you can hit it with your right thumb), you are %90 the

In the case of nukes, the key technology, gas centrifuges, was essentially invented by civilians and then made very public by being sold all over the world. The US tried to keep it a secret on its end but that achieved nothing but the stagn

Except that if the CPU completely masked its changes it would be no threat. The trick is getting the system to use the bad randomness. I find it unlikely none of the people debugging or running slightly different kernels or drivers or rootk

Well if you buy into the "Elop scuttled Nokia for MS" conspiracy it makes perfect sense.

This becomes just as simple in one-based indexing if you take the negative view and have division round up and modulo run from (-n + 1) to 0 instead of 0..(n - 1). So you get "arr2d[i / width + 1][i % width] = array[i]" if yo

Jolla is a pretty small company so selling relatively overpriced phones just with the appeal of a different OS to a very small market might be profitable. At least it's a saner strategy than them trying to go against Google ":D&qu

The alternative to euthanasia is not suffering, but better hospice care. The sad thing is that not every hospital provides that equally.

I'm not so sure China is on good terms with North Korea. They would probably prefer to have a land border with the richer Korea. North Korea is something they are stuck with because changing the status quo would disrupt their interests

Wasn't there a time when biologists used perl a lot and thought it was great? It's all about being the first to market (while not totally sucking). And S is so old I'm not even sure if they had any scripting languages with op

Well a cynic would say that in the case of the student assignment it was more about forcing everyone to put in the same number of hours than it was about efficient knowledge transfer.

All you needed to do was to predict where the financial crisis will hit! How can anyone be unemployed? I find the comments here pretty amusing.
