They actually do not need to do any framing or anything. They simply give up all the files Snowden got at one time, everybody gets angry at them and in a month the furor over all this will have died down. Currently people are getting annoyed at them whenever Snowden releases a new file and that can continue for a long time yet, which seemes way worse for them. Sort of the real version of the boiling frog. In reality it jumps out when it gets too hot, but it might not if it gets warm only for a short time.

Well, just a test: clearly it should be 22/7

I think some uses 21/7 (It is even a better approximation than 3.14). Wikipedia calls it Pi Approximation Day.

Lyx gives you both options. E.g. I want to use the fancy macro I made previously, so I write \macroname like I would in your latex by hand. I need to take the union of two sets and can't remember the syntax (it is \cup or \bigcup but this is a example - I could write \bigcup, but this is a example) so I find it in the menu...

The real strength, to me, is that per default you see the equations as they would look in print (and not like \frac{stuff}{other stuff}). It is (to me atleast) alot easier to read 10 lines of inequations using symbols with 1 super script and 2 subscribts if I can see them as the way they are in the output instead of unstructed text. It is not really a solution to have output at the side, since you have to look back and forth between them.

LyX bad sides are that it cant convert that well from pure latex and that the algorithms (I am a ph.d. student in comp. sci.) are not the best looking.

He might be. The question does not say one way or the other.

The idea is that there are 198 posibillities for two children and the day they are born (as in: the first is a boy on a monday the second is a girl on sunday - there are 198 different statements like that). If you go through it you will see that excatly 27 of them contains a boy on a tuesday. Of those 27, 13 had two boys. Each of the events are equally likely - well not in the real world, but it would require a bit more info otherwise. So you end up with 13/27.

A non-numerical version goes as follows. To easen the reading I will use unordered pairs:

There are three sets. A set where the boy on a tuesday is born first, F, one there he is born second, S, and one where there are two boys on a tuesday, B. The S and F are equally large and the number of girl boy pairs are equally large in both (similary for boy boy pairs), but they contain a slightly larger probabillity for boy, girl pairs over boy, boy pairs(because neither S nor F contains two boys on a tuesday - they are in B - but they DO contain the posbillity that it is a boy on a tuesday and a girl on a tuesday). The difference is excatly such that if you add B to e.g. F the numbers of boy, girl pairs are equal to the number of boy, boy pairs. Therefore you will have a slightly larger probabillity for girl, boy pairs (because the number of boy, boy in F+B is equal to the number of boy, girl in F+B, but the number of girl, boy pairs are slightly larger than the number of boy, boy pairs in S).

That is not really true. You, as a outsider, will need some time to understand the code and what is causing the error before you can fix it. That will take time and you can bet (for everything, but the smallest pieces of software) that it won't be "Fixed tomorrow".

I suppose you could find someone who knows the code and throw money at him to fix it, but I suspect you could do the same with Microsoft, if you cared enough about the problem (but proberly quite a bit more expensive).

I expect to be modded down for this (old, but what you said is the conventional wisdom on /.).

I am pretty sure Microsoft is more than capable of making this lawsuit last as long as they want to. Until, e.g. they do not use the tech anymore...

Nah, they are just setting us up for the real April Fools story: One that is actually true...

"The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all." - H L Mencken

I am not sure that meanes we shouldn't hope he wins :/

As I understood it, it was because Sweden put one (the one the danish goverment tried to shut down) 20 km from the danish Capitol and largest city, Copenhagen - see e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barseb%C3%A4ck_nuclear_power_plant AFAIK, the rest wasn't a problem.

And both are infiltraded by Microsoft now a days... Nice analogy :)
