Computers work really natural. Did you ever notice that the toilet door behaves exactly like a mutex? I did. Only one can lock it at a time, and other processes might queue up for it if you take too long.

They might not have finished your copy of Hamlet, but have produced an enormous amount of Perl code.

Perform some Ba duan jin's. You can do them at work, throughout the day. You do not need much space, It does not build muscles, but it will relax your muscles so that blood circulation is improved, and if you do them regularly it will do wonders for your health.

Also, change your eating habits. Replace anything that contains carbohydrates with fat & proteins, and you will shed body fat very quickly. Read the excellent book Life Without Bread, written by a guy who is now 96. Ive replaced all sugary snacks I normally ate throughout the day with almonds, peanuts (unsalted!), and 90% chocolate. Especially unsalted almonds are the perfect finger food. They are highly addictive AND healthy, and although they contain lots of fat you will loose weight eating them.

How about number of letters?

3 letters for IBM
6 letters for Google
9 letters for Microsoft

You also cant use any software without electricity. Internet is nowadays almost as ubiquitous as electricity, so its not really an issue any more.

Ive switched from coffee to green tea. It is a hell of a lot healthier. Just have a look at this study: for men, 12% lower risk of dying from any cause, 22% lower risk of dying from CVD, 42% lower risk of dying from stroke. Its even better for women.

The problem is that due to floating point inaccuracies, log10(1000) is actually 2.999999999 and not exactly 3. It is rounded and shown as 3, but when you truncate it, you get 2.

moral of the story: Don't use trunc.

Next to nothing times 10^42 can be pretty large. E.g. the plank length, smallest measurement of length with any meaning, times 10^42 is over 16000 km.

amazingly you find tourists everywhere. It would have been both realistic and fun to add fat people with hawaii shirt white socks and sandals.

kthxbye

I once stumbled upon a paper that analyzed rat eating behaviour. They basically change their food source only rarely, and tend to eat whatever they smell other rats are eating. This behavior has lots of advantages. Since they only switch food source when they have to, they seldom eat something poisonous. Since they switch to food they smell other rats have eaten, it is unlikely that the other food is poisonous because otherwise the other rat would have been dead.
This is an extremely robust behavior, and I am sure it can be used in some form as a swarming algorithm, much like ant colony or particle swarm.

I have no idea how this can happen.

PS: Thanks for 3 GB of RAM.

raw numbers are irrelevant! Canonical is self sustaining! this is like a car that can produce enough fuel on its own to continue driving.
