Given the that Toxoplasmae causes detrimental brain effects in humans, yes. Absolutely 100% unquestionably yes, without a doubt. We could keep a few cats isolated behind glass in zoos. Isolated cats don't matter.

Male pins on the card would fail just the same way, plus they'd also get more damage from being exposed. The only upside would be easier repair and, in most cases, cheaper replacement. The correct fix would be pins with a better length

To match math usage, a plain = should be when the programmer wants to state that two things are in fact equal. In debug builds, it would serve as an assertion. In release builds, it would be an optimization hint. That isn't either assi

This is terrifying. Did you get registered mail at least? Did the old web site tell you where to go? If you don't believe the notice you are given, you fail to pay. If you do believe whatever notice you get, you are vulnerable to fraud

Explanation: Younger people tend to be late sleepers. Older people tend to rise earlier. Normally, businesses are run by older people. They get to choose, and obviously they choose what they like. The same goes for the thermostat. Older peo

That "big pile of key-value strings pushed onto the stack above the environment" is auxv. You can see it in the binary /proc/*/auxv files. It's generated by the kernel's ELF loader.

The SR-71 flight manual kind of describes it. Pyro devices fire, yanking your boots backward onto a metal plate. (so that your feet will come with you) The canopy is blasted off. A rocket launches you out. Very briefly, you experience heat

No, normally what people desire of a fixed-point representation is a subset of a floating-point representation. Most fixed-point stuff is prototyped as floating-point, then painfully converted into a mess of nasty macros. Ideally there woul

I'm not liking the fixed-point types. I'd rather see the ability to place an attribute on a floating-point variable that would inform the compiler that fixed-point might be suitable. You'd specify the requirements that need t

Meanwhile, houses in Detroit can be purchased for the cost of a month's rent in SF. The solution is obvious, no? It seems that people want so badly to live in some of the nation's most expensive real estate that they are willing t

The supposed 95% literacy is a lie. Most people can't really read. They can usually identify individual words, but they can't do this fast enough and reliably enough to actually understand non-trivial sentences.

Nope, the roads can't handle it. There is a chicken-and-egg problem getting actually-useful subway service (under 10 minutes apart, 24x7 including holidays) in a place that is currently low-density. Without the density of Manhatten&#x2

When you say "low-level", might that mean assembly code? If so, got a resume?

You have things backwards. To "be in a reasonable commuting distance from work" you must stay far from those cities. Well, assuming you want a family. Commuting into SF from some place in the central valley is not reasonable. Pick

What I find strange is that some people vote for Hillary in the primary because they think she is more electable than Bernie. Say what? Electability isn't just about crude left-right positioning. It's also about personality and tr

Suddenly, at 5:21 PM one day in 2042, all cars accelerate as much as physically possible. A dozen seconds later, they start crossing the median in coordinated fashion, targeting each other via car-to-car communication and cameras and radar.
