Of course they believe that. If the online stores make more money, that's "enhanced", isn't it?
Magic is how the average person and media assume anything technical works. Computers, cars, elevators, lighting. Hell, even plumbing.
...what I'm pondering?
Why would you use virtualization in such an environment?
I can sum it up in one phrase: No. Hardware. Downtime. Ever.
VMWare's solution enables you to move production servers at will without ever halting execution. Any hardware upgrade/replacement will have zero downtime. Even a hardware failure can be automatically migrated away from before it takes down the server and fixed without any down time.
If operator overloading is only useful for mathematical constructions, why not simply bake those things into the language and be done with it
Because there are an infinite number of possible mathematical constructions. You can't bake them all into the language; you need to provide facilities for the programmer to write his own.
There are no 40" computer monitors, not to mention 50".
I see XFCE every time I boot up my computer. They seem to be the only Linux desktop willing to maintain a working relationship with sanity.
Where do babies get them from? Surely there is no interintestinal transfer from mom to womb.
The child's intestine gets colonized during childbirth. That's been discovered to be one of the problems with Caesarian section, in fact. The baby's large intestine doesn't get the proper bacterial colonization.
In ancient Rome the children where legally the property of the father until they where old enough.
Actually, according strict traditional Roman law, sons were the legally the property of the father until he died. Daughters were his property until they married, at which point they became the property of their husbands' fathers. It became usual for a father to emancipate his sons when they came of age, but if he didn't, they remained his property.
They still have Section 265 in their Constitution so I can't deny God and hold office in the state.
So utterly in contravention of the US Consitution as to be laughable. If it hasn't been struck down, it'll be only because no federal court has heard a challenge to it yet; the first one made will succeed.
primary level (er... elementary in the US I think, under age 8).
Elementary school in the US lasts until age 12. Primary education in the UK is about the same.
TFA says that the school is called ''Kermit Elementary School''
So I guess it's appropriate that the principal is a muppet.
You've obviously not interacted with public school management much. Generally speaking, they're deathly afraid of anything anyone from any side of the political spectrum might take offense at.
With your bare hands?!?
