You could also fill it with blue LEDs and cold cathode light tubes so that...
Um...
So that the hand would go faster, or something. I'm pretty sure that's the reason for those things.
Yeah and what if we lost the earth??
Then perhaps we should look behind the couch cushions. You'd be amazed at the kind of things you can find there.
Look closely at the "tin foil" which the government allows you to buy in stores.
There is _no_tin_ in it. Anywhere.
What are they afraid of?
-- That's funny, because the various levels of US government has provided me with roads, plumbing, housing, access to safe water, electricity, dial-up and then high-speed internet.
Do you understand the differences between state, municipal, and federal government?
Do you understand how that is relevant to this conversation? If so, please share it with the rest of us.
I just don't understand how Slashdot can be flooded with stories of US corporate incompetence and malfeasance at every level, and at everything, and yet people swear up and down they can be trusted with healthcare. No, they cannot. The private sector is filled with bad and/or stupid people. CYA. The US private sector does not have your back. Ever.
Thanks for clearing that up for us.
This (like many others) is actually management error. Management failed to oversee programmers. Management failed implement test. Management failed.
And Management lost potentially incriminating records which contradicted what Management had stated publicly. Management destroyed evidence of unlawful behaviour carried out by Management, and it can no longer be used against Management. And the worst that will happen as a result of this is there will be a mildly embarrassing story in the BBC followed by an increase in the IT budget, ostensibly to prevent further "mistakes".
Management succeeded . Brilliantly.
Call me when he re-writes Dwarf Fortress, which doesn't just build the dungeon but also the countryside around it along with a few more continents and oceans as well as a thousand years of history for each of the major civilizations living there.
My uncle dies. He wrote a book and has a significant estate. In his will he leaves me the revenue from that estate.
I don't see how I could possibly be bound by any contracts involving that estate at all.
Try this. Your uncle writes a book that has significant value. He forms a corporation which owns the rights to that book, has the corporation enter into a number of contracts and then names you as CEO. At that point it doesn't matter if he lives, dies, or is abducted by aliens and carried off to Betelgeuse VI. The corporation, not the individual, is responsible.
You can't challenge Game of Thrones with Wheel of Time.
The heck you can't.
Even if I used every volume of A Song of Ice and Fire, all of the Calendars, Atlases and Graphic Novels, I still couldn't prop up this desk nearly high enough to reach the window. Wheel of Time can do all that and still leave me with two extra books to straighten out the chair.
It might be a web page which was taken down three years ago?
That's pretty scary.
