Tip: if you want to see a few of these girls while listening to a good song, you should check the closing credits of Death Proof by Tarantino.

I have been an irssi user for almost 15 years and I don't remember having typed the version number even once. Indeed, it does not matter so much as some people think.

You are right, I stand corrected. They actually talk about tensile strength in the PRL article: "It is noted that lonsdaleite exhibits almost identical ideal tensile strength and only slightly larger pure ideal shear strength compared

I know. From the linked article: "The simulation showed that wurtzide boron nitride would withstand 18 per cent more stress than diamond, and lonsdaleite 58 per cent more." The title of the article is misleading.

According to simulations, 58% [1]. Experimental confirmation is still needed. Although we are still far from it, it is something that we could see in our life times. [1] https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16610-diam

Starting construction without having the needed materials is the approach followed at ITER. This way of working is based in a very reasonable idea: available materials have been improving since ever, there is no reason to think this progres

Good advice, just a small addition: if novels are too hard, give comics a try.

Some way to fix the image would certainly help, but you still need to find a way to scan all the parts and put them in the right direction. Moreover, some of those documents may have been destroyed for very valid reasons.

That port of Plan9 is quite old and will not work with the newest sources. It has received may updates since them. I added a good bunch of features as part of a GSoC project. Nowadays, it is being maintained by David du Colombier at github:

This happens at several levels. Smartphone-controlled candles are a great example. Personally, what I find sad is that while many of the best programmers in the world are busy writing the next blogging framework or javascript UI library, sc

I was actually thinking in the Setun: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setun and DSSP. But thanks for the reference, I did not know Malbolge (though it looks like it uses the set 0, 1, 2 instead of the IMO more useful -1,

UNIX was born as what you could consider a relatively esoteric response to the more popular MULTICS project. Same with B/C and BCPL. But I think that considering C and UNIX esoteric is a bit of a stretch, taking into account that they

I can see how 3D printing can be used for parts with complex shapes, as a replacement for powder sintering, but there is no way you can use it to cast a single crystal, neither for any part where you need to control texture.

After the transition from C to Go of the gc toolchain there was a lot of potential in both areas. The SSA backend increased even more that potential. And there is still room for improvement, so future versions will be even better. But yes,

For non-Enlgish speakers, they have just substituted numbers with letters. And for English speakers, I wonder if they will be willing to use it when their business is in infected.shit.hole or something like that.

The graphs are really bad. The problem I have is not the continuity, which as you say can help to identify trends, but the huge gap between two real data points. It should be clear what is real data and what is not (for example, using a lin

But that is not a packaging system. You can put binaries in zip files in Linux systems too. And I don't understand what kind of software you used with that pre-filter. You cannot even install drivers then.

I could be considered one of those people and, at least in my case, it is not in opposition to the digital world (which I also love, actually) at all. For me, the difference between a typewriter and a computer, or a slide rule and a modern
