I think what you're referring to is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., time being proportional to the number of heads on a project.

I'm still using boot floppies, but they're virtual and mounted via an HP ILO... Not touched an actual floppy since, no, I can't remember when. They were great until you got pocket fluff/grit behind the gate and transferred it unto the drive. SD cards are a suitable replacement, though easily lost and are perhaps on par bad block wise.

One thing we should commend though, well done on keeping your files small enough to fit on floppies. That's pretty much impossible after a few revisions of a Word document after it collects all that system information.

So, what if you wanted to filter out all the W's - can your machine do that? What about skittles, did you want to limit yourself to one type of sweet?

There's freedom of speech, but then there's speech that's so offensive that no eyes should read it. It's misused. Totally. Some audio cds have to carry a notice to warn parents/buyers that the contents is unsuitable for children. Welcome to 2014, the internet is a scary place, watch your children whilst they use it - don't arrest every user who posts something they may regret later as there was a humour failure.

People on the streets couldn't defend themselves as they were hit like #pinballs.

It was a prediction of the future, so don't be shocked that this one is close to the truth. Just don't be surprised that room 101 is full of web logs of all the bad things you said on the internet.

Or could it be that the customer can't produce a false claim of unreasonable force after the incident?

I'd have three Mormons too.

On 16 July 2012 Marissa Mayer was appointed President and CEO of Yahoo.

Flickr was in decline before her take over. The issue with flickr was that their team was forced to integerate into the Yahoo! system rather than remain an isolated satellite of Yahoo! See the write up http://gizmodo.com/5910223/how....

According to Alexa, the site is ranked 118th, http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/... so there's still life left in it yet.

Some are though, such as the comment by "Anonymous Coward" that you followed up on. Wouldn't it be nice if Justice Bot could go to the posters location and dispense justice upon him autonomously? Rule 237, humans not bad would not apply in this situation. The problem would be when the AI considers all humans to do bad and in need of punishment.

Mozilla are throttling the chat feature.

To enable, go to about:config, and set loop.throttled to false. Otherwise there is a one in ten chance of having the feature. Currently I think the servers are struggling. It's a new feature and as such needs to bed in whilst capacity is judged.

HTH.

Indeed, everything is fine in moderation. Though, you know, there are far worse things he could be doing, at least this guy isn't in a bar chatting some other woman up. She should be pleased that he's home at least.

On the other hand, perhaps she has identified that he's not making the most out of life, perhaps he should take up some other hobby for a bit that they can do together, or just sit in the living room and read a parenting book or talk about how her day was.

Personally, I've never had any long runs of gaming, they get boring, but I still find computing itself to be quite absorbing and perhaps the mrs doesn't like this. So, from own experience don't spend more money on gaming hardware.

Your wife just wants to make the house more kiddie friendly. Get a laptop.

That'll be the Walkie Talkie building

The problem isn't reflectiveness alone, the shape of the building played a part too.

You don't know Cameron very well then.
