"calculated that a stationary mass should repel a particle moving towards or away from it at more than half the speed of light"

So, how do I slow down while going half he speed of light?

According to what you have in quotes, approaching a stationary mass ought to do the job.

That works great until everyone starts doing it, and the brute-force attackers no longer ignore it.

For example in Russia the most used payment method is WebMoney [wmtransfer.com], where you define exactly what information is public about your account and *by default* everything is private.

I have it on very good authority that in Russia, money pays you.

You can't fire a developer that's leading in resolutions and completed requirements.

Boy are you going to be disappointed someday.

I wonder how he would have chosen people if he saw through an employee's thinly veiled attempts to make himself look better?

Just so you know, there is a reason why a lot of places ask you to do a self evaluation. As a manager myself, I find them useful because sometimes I miss things. I may *think* I have all of your accomplishments listed, but I may not. Or I may over or understate the relative importance, or the success. Sometimes I look at them and think that the person is more accurate than I am. I try to keep track of everything, but since I have to do it for so many people, things can get missed despite my best efforts. If you don't tell me, you might be missing out on raises or bonuses.

Keeping track of what you do, and the outcome of it is no more Machiavellian or bragging than putting together a resume is.

higher pitch of their voices seems like it would travel better than a guttural manly tone

Which is why animals that communicate over long distances use higher pitches, like elephants and whales.

Thanks for ruining the joke, Captain Pedantic.

Well, I didn't do anything wrong, I would imagine the vast majority of Britons didn't do anything wrong either, so why would they apologize and make amends for something they had fuckall to do with?

I think all governments should do nothing but apologize for mistakes they've made all day every day. That is sure to be the most efficient use of their time. Either that or thin-skinned titty babies could just get over it, realize that people in general, and people in power in specific were different back then, and move the fuck on with their lives. Christ, it's not like he's still being force fed hormones.

and in this case means 'animal rights activist'

Yes, well, it's all about the animals isn't it? I mean, really, if I were to bomb things, burn things down, physically intimidate and threaten people, indoctrinate other people into a cult-like society of violence and terror, but it was for the animals, certainly I could not be called a terrorist, could I?

When they say that CD-Rs "last for decades" they are referring to the CD itself, not the data on it. After all, there are so many things you can do with it other than record data. You could make a frisbee, shuriken, pterodactyl...

If the teacher needs the answer handed to them they shouldn't be teaching the class

I'm a senior level developer, but sometimes I will have someone else check my work. Does that mean I shouldn't be a senior level developer, or that sometimes an additional pair of eyes helps?

I wasn't born yet, therefore that never happened.

Until then, calling Iran "unfree" is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Yes, I remember when people went out to protest and were hacked to death by axes, wielded by the National Guard. It was horrible.

I would say that it's more like someone going into an emergency room with a paper cut and whining about how someone who has just been raped, thrown out of a car at 55mph, run over, lit on fire, then hacked up with machetes is getting treated first.

Not after seeing what a piss poor job it did at actually preventing information leakage.

But many companies are too small to make a signifigant contribution.

And the ones that are large enough to can't get anything through accounting without a proper invoice, a company to pay it to, tax IDs, terms, and contracts.
