I though the idea of homeopathic water was to dilute the percieved cause* of the ailment. Should diluting a helpful ingredient be considered harmful then?

The subject line quite literally had me laughing out loud.
Without doubt the funniest thing I've encountered this week, perhaps even this month.
Gold has supply and demand.
Regular currency is linked to the supply and demand of gold.
Wasted electricity has no demand.
Bitcoin is linked to the supply and demand of WHAT exactly?
In case we ever come in contact with another intelligence, I prefer the luminescent pattern to be in the shape of an astronaut smiling while killing an alien.
I agree the pattern can be functional, I disagree any of the designs (including B) come even close to being functional.
I agree the white&limegreen Z-1 looks better than all the others combined.
More importantly, are there benefits to having bright or dark colors and can the luminescent lines be used for practical reasons?
Assuming the visual design of these suits is irrelevant to it's usability (if not there should not be vote), why not let the astronauts decide for themselves?
Agreed. I'll allow javadoc-like comments that help to document a public interface, but if you write comments to explain an algorithm, you're probably making a mistake.
The request is oddly specific.
It might be more prudent to ask for particularly nice before- and after refactoring examples in general.
I love the elegance of object oriented parser frameworks (disclaimer; I've made several myself), but that elegance is rather in the model than the code.
Elegance purely in code I can only really remember seeing in small functions and snippets. Mostly elegance seems to be in the structure and interaction between functions or objects.
Anything without live grubs in it, cannot possibly claim to be klingon.

I'd have to be on the support side of an application implementing this.
Didn't they try (and horribly fail at) selling a rebranded Android phone with a custom launcher?

If you want to securely control your HVAC systems in your data centre, don't connect it to the Internet: Hire a person to operate it. If you want to securely control your nuclear reactor, don't connect it to the Internet but hire a staff to operate it using air-gapped systems.
Because we all know humans can be trusted completely instead of often being the weakest link in a security chain.
This includes the guys that operate the machine, the people that build the machine, the people that supplied to components for the machine, the contractor that build the datacenter, their subcontractors, the people supplying bricks to the builders, etc.
In theory, it's possible to create a perfectly secure product, in practice there isn't enough money, time and knowledge in the world to do so.
I think there's a world market for about five computers. -- attr. Thomas J. Watson (Chairman of the Board, IBM), 1943
