Just because "F" sounds like "Ef" does not mean that you use "an." It should read "A FPS..." I don't care how dumb the game concept is, I just care that the headline is easily parsable. -- Today's Grammar Nazi

I can type between 70 and 80 wpm on a standard keyboard. But on this here HTC thunderbolt, I feel that my two thumb hunt and peck is getting me little more than thirty wpm at best. particularly painful is Tue autocorrect when the word or acronym that I want is jot in its database.

We heat our home exclusively with wood-burning stoves, and news paper is great for getting the kindling started. Read them? No.

I and a few of my friends who have spent a large portion of our lives backpacking and doing other out-doorsie things can tell where north is sans compass just by feel. This is not looking at moss or the sun or the stars -- it is really sensing north. In a closed room we can do it with very high success rates. I can recall a story from ./ some time ago that had a fella who wore a belt with a vibrating magnet that always "pointed" north, and after wearing the belt for some time, he claimed that he could naturally sense north. I can't find the link. Perhaps someone else knows it.

"Being inspired by the movement, law makers, looking for support of the initiative, went to contact those who marched. However, they were unable to do so because the names were censored and blocked."

Hmmm. Drat. That sounded better in my head.

I got a BS in Business Administration, and I could not find a non-sales job for anything back in 2005. EVERY decent paying job (ie, greater than 35k) required 5 years experience. How could you get experience if you can't afford to work for that rate? At least, with coding, you can work on some open source projects.

Well, I have been dismissed from the potential jury pool twice. Once, I really needed to get out of it for work (so I said that I was completely biased towards what the police had to say and would support their claims, no matter how outlandish), and the other one was going to last, at minimum, a month. Had I not had an upcoming vacation, I would have likely sat on that jury. I am not trying to avoid it -- in fact, I feel that it would be a good experience to serve at least once.

Solve the equation, using RPN:
2 x + 4 - = 3 x *
I don't even know if you can use the equal sign like this in RPN....or if you can even solve an equation with RPN. RPN is considered unconventional because 2 + x - 4 = 3x is more in line with what we want students to be able to solve. When they finally use some assembly to create a calculator, then they will appreciate RPN.

NetMeter. I have a older free version running on my desktop, but I think the new one is only a free trial. But it keeps my bandwidth logs nice and neat. Daily, weekly, monthly. Now, I need one that shows what programs are using what bandwidth.

This year, I have had an, on average, 75% increase in shoe purchases. That is to say I bought a pair of shoes this year. So an 80% increase is what? Can we get some real numbers here. If this goes into production, how much do I need to power my home?

Assuming that the speeding tickets all go to locals (bad assumption, I know), that is $1,115 in traffic fines per person funding the local government. Add to this that a paragraph down from your quote, it says that the camera's company receives 40% of the payout. Would this mean that the $2.9 million in ticket revenue is only 60% of the paid fines? If so, then each person's average annual traffic fines would raise from $1,115 to nearly $1,860. The article says that each ticket is $40. That would be 28 to 47 tickets per person per year (depending on the "revenue" numbers being pre or post camera company payout).

With no medical background, no research performed (not even a simple Google search), and not even reading the article: In my expert opinion, I believe that perhaps it has something to do with circulation. Gravity may be a crucial element to our circulatory systems and our circulatory systems are important for medication distribution in our bodies.

The moon did not appear any bigger in the sky, but I do recall that the night was VERY bright. I could see better then than I tend to be able to right after dusk most days (we live in a steep canyon). I could see all the surrounding terrain and all the way down my street that has heavy tree coverage. It was pretty cool. Today, however, we have clouds and rain. :(

Does that mean woman do??? (Hey, its slashdot...)
