Your answer proves my point. You explained why 70kb is bad by pointing out that 3000kb isn't particularly outlandish.

This is exactly the point. There was a fifteen year period where the best way of finding out what something meant in a programming language was to Google it. Pre-AI, post the predominance of newsgroups and offline documentation. Try googlin

Unless you're part of the demoscene or your webpage is being loaded by Voyager II, why is 70kb of source code a problem? Not wanting to use well constructed, well tested, well distributed libraries to make code simpler and more robust

I mean another theory is that those people are misguided and vexatious, and that this correlates with them not actually checking which Mark Zuckerberg they are sending their urgent complaint email to.

An easier way to evaluate sum i/10^i is by squaring sum 1/10^i If you multiply term by term every term has coefficient 1 of course. There are n terms with exponent n+1, made from the n sums of the first exponent and the second exp

You might as well say that US English and Canadian English are different languages. Geordie English is closer to Edinburgh 'Scots' than to RP English or US English or Indian English. Is it a dialect of Scots?

The background here is that Scots is not really a language. Try asking a Glasgow taxi driver who addresses you in 'Scots' whether he knows any English. Robert Burns wrote in English, with some of his spelling reflecting pronunciat

There's quite a lot of confusion about this question here. You are right that debt of this type are individual and other parties (spouses, heirs) can't be pursued for it. But it has to be taken into account in a divorce. Johnny an
