How is it egregiously wrong? The couple were getting a divorce anyway, the woman just wants the divorce cancelled so they can continue "negotiations" on the terms. But in terms of law, her lawyers acting on her authority requested

Maybe the judge doesn't see the need for this to be resolved. The lawyers for the party who didn't want the divorce, but had been given the authority to represent the client, submitted the request for divorce. The other party agre

I think $() makes much more sense than ()$ in terms of parsing, when you see $ you're looking for a single word token, and $( you're parsing up to the matching ) Maybe it's not much extra workload, but ()$ requires you to pat

I think the rule was quite well explained - there's a whole page on it, and fairly early on too. I just forgot it as there were so many rules to remember before you start playing.

I enjoyed this and played for a few hours. The biggest problem for me is the dictionary - it seems very biased towards US English, so for instance I lost one game when my base was defended with "soiree" which apparently isn't

Actually, after my third reading, I don't think it does infringe on their patent. The last comment on the GP link (3958) states: "The STRAIGHT addressing is not a belt because it uses ordinal instruction addressing, while a belt u

I'm not really sure this is true. The reason you need register renaming is because of pipelines and variable execution timings. However, it should be fine to have some single-cycle load/store instructions that move data between th

Yeah, I came here to comment that this sounded very similar to the belt. The comment numbered 3929 on the link you provided is useful as it succinctly explains the difference: The addressing (STRAIGHT vs Mill) is different: STRAIGHT refers

Actually, I thought that was the weirdest part. Those "branches" that came out first seemed to play no real part in the plant. Everything else came up from the middle between these, and the original tendrils just kind of hung arou

It's true that data is often written out in a logical order, but like you say, that's only because the program that created it was designed that way. I've definitely seen PDF files where tabular data is almost in a logical or

It's also not like this is new - I know I've been using gcc to output dependencies for Makefiles for at least 2 decades, presumably it was around long before then.

So, reading the article is a bit weird. It's clear there's an anti-PDF bias from the start, with the implicit assumption that everybody hates reading PDF files. Actually, I don't because I get to read a well formatted documen

Weirdly, probably not. I know if I sold it, then I'd suddenly get the urge to read it. Also, it's really heavy (I'd say at least over 1kg), so by the time I sold it at less than the current price because it's no longer n

I've wanted to buy these since the late 90s when I used to enjoy thinking about algorithms in the abstract, but never bought them because at the start of my career I felt quite poor and it didn't seem like a good use of my money.

Reminds me of a similar misunderstanding in Casablanca, where most people quote the line as "Play it again, Sam". In actual fact, the lines in the film are "Play it once Sam, for old times sake." "Play it, Sam."

Personally, I saw the ligatures and really didn't like them. The /= and ||= look monumentally ugly to me for C code, and makes the meaning less clear. The only ones that looked worthwhile were /* and */. The rest just se

As an Android user, it'd be nice if replying "No" to "Do you want RCS?" meant "Never ask me again" and wasn't just interpreted as "ask me again in next week and every week thereafter".
