We have Gmail at work, and the spam filtering seems to work reasonably well. We get an occasional spam message to come through, and for some reason, most of the ones that get through are written in Chinese.

Two features that drive me nuts are a lack of sorting by headers, and not being able to set a message priority. Yes, I know you can search by sender, keywords, etc., but that only gets you so far. Sometimes I only have a vague idea of what I'm searching for, and being able to sort by subject would be a big help. Also, I hate the fact that you can't set a message priority for messages like high or low. Gmail sets messages as being "important" based on what Google thinks is important, and that's almost never right.

This camel is happy. Your argument is invalid.

Maybe because the other studies got it completely wrong. If you divide the Christian population between Nominal Christian (Christian culturally, but not in practice) versus practicing Christians, the rates are really much different, which seems to be something verified in this study.

No. Just look at this page. Every restriction or permission for corporations is the same as unions. The difference being, unions can take money from their members to spend on campaign issues that their members may not necessarily support.

Same thing for Unions.

According to the alert on CNN, he has just died from Ebola.

That's true. It's what happens when you only do programming as an occasional hobby instead of a profession.You tend to forget all the tricks you learned in school.

Yes, by putting the year first, it would short circuit the rest of the evals, but my code's goal was to have it not run *only* today, so you definitely want to stick with AND, otherwise you're shutting it down for the whole year. ;-)

Ann Arbor's streets look like they were laid out during an argument between English & French surveyors. It's the only place I've ever seen a 2-way street become a 1-way street half way down the street.

A good test for these autonomous vehicles will be "drive within a 2 block radius until you find a parking spot."

And yes, I realize the real problem was pinging their server.

It was probably short-sighted to write their main event loop like this:

while (!((date.day == 7) && (date.month == 10) && (date.year == 2014))) {
// rest of router code follows
}

I didn't see any mention of Cortana or Google Now. Doesn't seem like a very good study if it excludes those. As a consumer, I'd like to know if any voice recognition performed a lot better during driving than the others. Also, I wonder how distracted they were having gear strapped to their heads?

Brain lapse on my part. It's a Pontiac Bonneville.

My 2000 Pontiac Seville has a pretty nice feature on it that lets the drive press an E/M button, and the speedometer automatically converts to metric. No need for 2 scales on the speedometer.
