That's great for marginal costs. What about fixed costs? The lobby needs to be mopped. The parking lot needs light. The lawn probably should be kept from turning into a forest. The heat should run in winter, and the cooing in summer. W

12 mL worth of battery ought to be able to handle most of those methods. That's about break-even, but better because you refill the same way you refill the computer and propulsion. Charge the battery and you're ready for more acti

That does seem kind of neat, but it still doesn't make sense to me. You have to carry a poison supply that will run out. You need 12 mL per starfish. Is that really more effective than just injecting lots of seawater? You could pump in

The really sad thing is that we build on our best farmland. If you want to grow apricots, the best place is San Jose. That whole area in fact is mighty good for farming. People need to eat! Californians ought to be living in the foothills o

You missed the word "repeated". Also, some participants in drunken fights act in self-defense or as part of a fighting sport, and so would not be criminals. So it's actually like this: You reach 25. You assault somebody. You

If the offender has only ever committed one crime, and they did so while a teen, then OK. Give them another chance, provided they have a workable budget that includes a non-criminal job. If the offender repeated the crime while being older

Standard algorithms are standard for very good reasons. They are 100% reliable and at least reasonably fast, if not the fastest. Failure to learn the standard algorithms impedes progress. You are unlikely to do well in the next course if yo

Japan does this right: nobody tips. Customers pay the restaurant, and the restaurant pays the waiters. Tipping is one small step away from paying bribes. Don't do it. Don't encourage it. Don't accept it.

That's a tough one. Maybe you could help work on a JIT for Javascript or Java. This would get you into working on the low-level stuff while still making use of your existing knowledge. Another option is to pretend you are back in schoo

It's horribly insecure to keep the company's source code on a computer with a connection to the Internet. For example, this is how the F-35 secrets wound up in China.

We wanted our own site because the parent company's branding was extra-uncool and they wouldn't change it for us, but they wouldn't let us use their name without controlling the branding. This was the compromise. Aside from a

We have a rockstar programmer. No, really. He put out CDs and all. Technically he's a former rockstar I guess, but close enough. He rocks. We still lack a ninja. We have been unable to find one who could do low-level programming and ge

Those places are silly. We'd hire you if you can do low-level stuff. (background check too, but I guess you'd pass based on other posts)

Oh my. I know somebody who needs that job. Probably the "Georgetown, KY" on his resume is the difficulty, but he's willing to move. He can do C#, Java, and C++. He even has a traditional 4-year computer science degree. Pass a

Depending on the town and your specialty, you might be surprised. Not every place outside of the typical hot spots is corporate-fief. Specialization means you can have a good job market without the crowds causing traffic jams and running up

A sundress is much closer to a suit than it is to a T-shirt and jeans. Considering modesty though, a woman in a sundress is equivalent to a man wearing a tank top. We don't get males in the office wearing tank tops or anything else tha

The comment about being women being treated differently when they wear a dress shows misunderstanding. The male equivalent to that is not a T-shirt and jeans. It's the suit. I'd sure be treated differently if I wore a suit. I'

Oh, one other problem. The referenced (R) and dirty (D) bits are only updated in leaf nodes. I strongly suspect that any performance you gain here will be more than consumed by OS software needing to scan all the leaf nodes for these bits.

Thanks. The following concerns paging, not the base/limit system: From a security and reliability perspective, I'm saddened to see that rwx got supported while --x did not get supported. That is backwards. Having to change permiss

Underwater RF is no trouble in this case. You have the signal backwards. As long as there is no problem, regularly transmit an identity beacon. Loss of signal is the alert.

Yes, but did you ever mark mailing list email as spam? (actual spam even) If so, maybe gmail thinks "this sender is spammy". That's the mailing list.
