The fact that one of the words is a subset of another depending on the context doesn't invalidate the fact that the words are still synonyms when they are used in a specific topic. Moreover, by what you said before: > "Exchang

Under that razor... if you search for southwest airlines and between the results you get a Adwords of Southwest, then that won't be an ad because is in the result page of the same thing I was searching?

Ok.. I know the discussion is going way off-topic and getting pedantic connotations. To illustrate the point in my original comment, I would like to make a last cite from Britannica. @dragonwriter: For some reason I can't reply your co

Ok, let's try with another wikipedia article: [1] "A contract is a legally enforceable promise or undertaking that something will or will not occur. * The word promise can be used as a legal synonym for contract *,[2] although

In the moment when Southwest airlines paid for it is an advertising piece indeed. And to remove any shadow of doubt if you can't see a similar image when you search for American Airlines or Jetblue then it is clear that Google is favou

Well.. it is a banner and the company is paying for it so it is an ad. In my opinion the cleanness of the banner should not interfere with the description of being an ad.

And... Did you leave her? or just break up as a common agreement? In legalese language, I am pretty sure that a promise is synonym of contract, and contracts might be dissolved if both sides of the contract agreed. This being an open promis

That's a very strong assumption... The only reason I have an Ipad rather than a Surface Pro, is because it didn't exists when bought my Ipad, sure thing that will be my future tablet in my next cycle, and I feel I am not alone. I

Normally it is considered that Venezuela is the northern country of South America, so for me that fragmentation is correct. I just will add Central America to include the Caribbean and countries below Mexico.

I never liked Pascal verbosity back in school but I loved C right away... Maybe it is just a matter of taste?

Depending on what are you using, C++11 complete support is more that enough reason for upgrade to me. :)

You are including way more lines of code... I don't get your point... sorry :(

The leftist tone of this article gave me allergy. As a Venezuelan that emigrated to another country to escape from the disaster that the so called socialism (which is more like a pseudo-comunism) was installing on the country, I cannot be

I guess he is restricting the domain to [1,2] in which case 1,2,1,2,1,2... is as "random" as 1,2,2,2,1,2,1,1 ... I guess what is bothering him is the lack of entropy in the sequence.

I believe the legalese version is the actual one and it offers protection in front a court. As for the plain English, I think is because in law you have to be very explicit in order to do not leave any holes.

As far as I know Irregexp[1] compiles on V8 byte code so you can't use it isolated without V8. Please, let me know if you find the opposite. [1] http://blog.chromium.org/2009/02/irregexp-google-chromes-new...
