Voice, patterns, signs... anything but a keyboard. The input area is just too small.
Even if someone do manage to invent something clever, it's not going to be anywhere near the usability of a full-sized keyboard. There's a reason Apple won't make smaller laptops: they know a usable keyboard needs to be a minimum size.
Funny fact: CleverBoy 5.2 was programmed in Swift.
If you normally work for an hour a day that means you're only giving ~0.041667% to begin with.
They require you to place the leach fields of your septic system away from and downhill from your well for a reason.
Mine is both near to and uphill from my well, but my well also goes through a clay cap.
I like the idea of IPTV, and AT&T's U-Verse TV service is completely IP-based. So why do I have to have U-Verse Internet service?
Probably because multicast doesn't work over the public Internet. It works only on a particular ISP's network.
Leave it to Slashdotters to denigrate our democratic representatives and idolize a glorified dictator.
I hear Putin wrestles bears, clearly hes better for a country than our congress!
Where do you live and how much does it cost to move there?
If you had a hard requirement such as "has to be ASCII-based" or "char must be 8 bits wide", then I'd wonder where it comes from.
The fact that Internet protocols use 8-bit bytes and either ASCII or its superset UTF-8.
For requiring char to be of some specific width, there's hardly a reason, unless you're improperly (de)serializing.
Last time I checked, the C standard offered no facility for networking, graphics, or even enumeration of the files in a directory. This means most nontrivial interactive programs will need to use POSIX or Windows functions, which are defined in the POSIX and Win32 specifications but are undefined behavior from the perspective of the C standard, in order to access the data that the program is (de)serializing in the first place. Or is there a portable way to do this that I'm somehow missing?
2BE is considered quite safe, otherwise it wouldn't be used in cosmetics:
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this. I guess the question is, are you getting paid to tell this lie? Cosmetics are full of known toxics, just like perfumes.
And all it would take would be a home mechanic spilling a bottle of one of those products to get to that same parts-per-trillion levels in their own well water.
It would take a lot more than that, in all likelihood. It's usually not trivial for something you spill to wind up in your well unless you've got an open well, and you spill into it.
The reason these chemicals are expensive to dispose of is that they are difficult to destroy by any means other than sweet, cleansing flame — and a whole hell of a lot of it. Throwing it in your campfire won't do it. Anything that can't be gotten out of your water by relatively simple means isn't filtered out by your municipal water department.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
