Even then, this has no practical consequence whatsoever. If you want to compute the circumference of the galaxy, to accuracy such that your answer is off by less than a nanometer, you still need only ~100 digits of pi.
... and a measurement of its radius to within a nanometer
I think the argument is that people in other countries would say "The first of September, nineteen-ninety."
Which follows the conversational principle of adding relevant context in successively larger granularity.
No, that is stealing because it's real property with distinct and unambiguous ownership.
I'm saying that if your car had a keypad immobiliser, and your mechanic wrote the code on a chalkboard behind the counter where anyone who looked could see it; you can't be angry at the people who look for knowing it.
In a similar situation, often referenced on
I'd consider data on the Internet with no authorisation mechanism to be 'published'. A private residence is still personal property, though.
A variable that is pushed to the stack make a register that can be used for something else. Yes, common architectures do often only have two or three registers available, once you take into account calling conventions that you aren't going to get around in any language as expressive as C or more so.
Re-using registers is A Good Thing - it's not like you can make more of them.
What makes you think a shift is more efficient than a divide? Are you taking into account the encoded instruction size, alignment, and variable decode latency? Instruction and jump caching?
If you want to write assembly for everything you do, go for it - I kind of like being able to say "strlen(var);". I like "var.size();" a bit more - but it's your call if you wanna say "push edi; sub ecx, ecx; mov edi, [esp+8]; not ecx; sub al, al; cld; repne scasb; not ecx; pop edi; lea eax, [ecx-1]; ret"; or some variant thereof. Go for it. I'll be over here, writing features.
The capital energy cost of manufacturing can always be produced by clean, abundant nuclear power.
I've taken that as a well-intentioned (although possibly misguided) attempt to get people to read the comments they are replying to.
Which is precisely how the notion of sovereignty has always been upheld.
I don't support many (if any) of the USA's actions or policies where they extend to citizens of other nations (like myself) - I just understand that nobody is likely to stop them. They are empowered by their own citizens, who see them as bringing the Light of Democracy And Capitalism to the terrorists and communists that the USIans must be protected from.
Anyhow, I've exceeded my quota of replying to ACs already. If you want to continue this, put your handle against your words.
My point being that as far as I'm aware, Thailand has no such notion.
"I can speak my mind on any topic - for I am Free, and speech is protected under the constitution of my land."
"You are in my land now. Guards, hang him. Any one else care to speak their mind?"
... and their laws say that breaches committed outside of the country can have you punished when you return.
You knew the job was dangerous when you took it, Fred. -- Superchicken
