Conformation is exactly what it is, repeating the same tweetbleat.

I can see some semi-literate minimum-wage type looking at and and thinking: "payment - late - customer - late. - looks OK to me."

That's not human, that's Magrathean.

Is it me, or is anyone else getting fed up with all these "cute" names they come up with for an OS.

God knows what else.

"Snow Leopard"

"Mountain Lion"

I'm looking forward to OSXI to being called "Bigglesworth" though I had to upvote "Spunky Spermwhale" for Ubuntu 13.10. I have to wonder, though, what will 17.10 be called... will Ubuntu go back to A?

Re: Gov't tests

It rained for one hour on Monday, two hours on Tuesday and four hours on Wednesday. How many hours will it rain on Thursday?

Better question - how many hours will it rain on Saturday?

32.

Confession accepted. Icon ignored.

And will those Oregon online stores then have to register for sales tax in any district where they might sell something to? This is the main stumbling block, for what I can see, with the current system. Washington State sales tax rates. So, quick, what's the rate in Birch Bay? It's in the same ZIP code area as Blaine, so it's 8.5%, right? Actually it's 8.5% but because it's in the Whatcom Unincorporated PTBA. And this is just Washington state.

Simple, isn't it?

Re: Why don't they expand into Canada

That'll be publishers using an exchange rate of something ridiculous like C$1.60 to US$1.

Re: 640x360?

A 25-inch diagonal on a 16:9 is 12.25 inches high, which for being 8 feet away, isn't very large. Anyway at that resolution, the virtual pixels are about 0.9 mm.

They've got rounded corners!

Re: free content ?

Yes, the editors seem to keep missing that error.

Re: You have to hand it to the Chinese, they are innovation experts ...

So this must make Romanians real innovators, reconstituting horsemeat as beef.

Re: sounds absurd

Carphone Whorehouse sells 100 BB. Phones Яu sells 100 BBs. 110 people (40 who bought phones in Carphone Whorehouse, 70 who bought phones in Phones Яu) return their phones to Phones Яu 'cause Phones Яu happens to be on the way to somewhere else and the people who bought from Carphone Whorehouse can't be bothered to drive all the way back to Carphone Whorehouse. Phones Яu has had 110 phones returned, having sold only 70 of them.

Two points:

(1) Why on earth would Phones Яu process returns from phones sold from Carphone Whorehouse?????

(2) Phones Яu has had 110 phones returned, having sold only 70 of them. However Carphone Whorehouse has had ZERO phones returned having sold 100 of them.

(The argument, as presented, is only valid if it were like this: Carphone Whorehouse Guildford sells 100 BB. Carphone Whorehouse Metrotown sells 100 BBs. 110 people (40 who bought phones in Carphone Whorehouse Guildford, 70 who bought phones in Carphone Whorehouse Metrotown) return their phones to Carphone Whorehouse Metrotown 'cause Carphone Whorehouse Metrotown happens to be on the train line where they can stop off before the Guildford location closes. Carphone Whorehouse Metrotown has had 110 phones returned, having sold only 70 of them. - This version of the argument also falls down, when you consider that the report for all Carphone Whorehouse locations will still report 40 phones sold.)
