I'm surprised at the negativity your approach seems to have sparked in a few, but I found it really great, probably very effective as well and will probably start to use it at some point. Thanks for sharing.

It's like the modern equivalent of: "Apart from [big long list of stuff people never thought much about before] what has the EU ever done for us?!?" The Treaty of Rome indeed.

I'd have to say that when the UK initially joined the EU most people probably didn't notice much of a difference, except that the euro made going on holiday and using the local currency a lot easier (I still remember the Lira in I

"A fish rots from the head down" is the saying. And since neither Jeff nor Joel are the heads at SO anymore I'm not sure of the relevance here. But we can all agree that they made a wonderful fish that has helped millions of

Lambdas I would agree with and iterators, but in many other situations, e.g. templated collections it's easy enough to make a descriptive typedef. And... I have seen this in the wild: 'auto isFalse = true;'

I don't have the source right now, but I believe a lot of the algorithms used are set in build time #defines so it might be possible to capture them at build time and store them with the encrypted data. Means you'd have to find a

Hmm, I wonder if that's what the second mission was to find? I played it on the CBM64, and seem to remember being given a mission to find a stealth ship. Flew around loads, but never found it as far as I can remember.

Well that is some well documented code, and no mistake. It keeps mentioning a Cougar ship type, but I don't remember them in the game?

Also (I'm hoping) the trauma of taking another person's life must be hugely upsetting. I'm hoping it's not something you do lightly, and is not without personal consequences (guilt,shame, shock,.. dunno).

Another way to turn it into a more competitive market is to introduce large competition in the form of not for profit housing co-ops where the coop buys to rent houses, renters have to buy into the coop, and all profits are put into either

Lack of a common language must be a factor in scaling - the amount of effort printing required information in different languages is already an overhead (e..g instructions on medications). Also in the US, somebody in California can give tel

Well, Scotland voted to remain in the EU, but they've had to put up with the rest thinking they "know better than them what is good for them." I'm sure they enjoy it as much as you do.

Reminds me of a lot of the initiatives coming out of big companies. The grander the vision, the more vague they are, the more money and time they hoover up as people try to rephrase the initial vague aims in different ways. And, bless they
