Didn't that student sue his school and get a settlement for a whole lot of money? I know that doesn't mean there aren't more of these cases but its still illegal.

Sounds nice except for you wont have any water to drink because all of the freshwater aquifers in Florida will have been infiltrated by sea-water. And this estimate of 1 meter of rise is on the low end of the estimates I've seen. Hope

There are 2 ways to handle strings: 1. All strings are prepended with a length variable 2. Use a NULL character to represent the end of the string The Unix guys originally chose option 2. To them it made sense because it used fewer extra bi

I'd like to put some math with this because this is the path I took too. 4 years ago I was offered a job with a startup and a job with a government contractor at the same time. The contractor was offering 15k/year more and I took

Sorry, 1 second of idle has more CO2 emissions than 1 day without zombie loads.

by pilom 13y ago
Decrease your transportation needs. Running a gasoline vehicle for 1 second produces more CO2 than turning off all of the zombie loads in your house. Move closer to work so your commute is shorter and you'll cut your carbon footprint m

I've seen an analysis which said that the revenue source isn't going to space and back, but going really fast between 2 points on earth. The analysis basically said that with mail delivery you pay up to 5 times as much for the fas

I'm highly skeptical of the reporting. He may have impersonated other accounts to cover his tracks but if he had physical access to a system or the user database of a system then he was "authorized" to see all of the data on

I know Colorado is a weird state but here, yes, a very large portion (absolutely a majority) of people that buy SUV's use them to take their families and their skis or their bikes or their kayaks up to the mountains.

Not to mention you can't put a roof rack on a car with gullwing doors. This is an SUV that can't have a roof rack and is therefore not useful to a large portion of the people who buy SUV's.

Makes more sense why it has the falcon doors then. I personally think they are a very poor choice for an suv/wagon/crossover vehicle. If I want an SUV, I want a roof rack to carry my stuff and I can't put one on a car with fa

I just do US stock index investing. There has never been a 25 year period where the US stock market did worse than 3% if you include dividends. Let me know if you want sources. This year alone it is up over 10%. That being said there will d

So the fines may be less of an issue, but I feel like there are more possible competitors and probably even less of a barrier to entry.

I agree entirely with the fact that real estate it is very hit or miss. But worst case scenario (assuming you have insurance) is you have to sell the house at a depressed price and take a loss on your time. With a restaurant (where 50%+ are
