It it's heading for something like London or NY or Mumbai, good luck evacuating :P

If the PS4 is based on x86, then that's good news for the PC community because porting will be a lot simpler and developers wouldn't make such a hash out of it.

Double will work in the example, but there are several examples where double would fail too. The fact is, any kind of floating point representation is an approximation and can throw up bugs in the most unexpected places. Using an 'epsilon' style comparison is usually more reliable, and there are...

Didn't anyone notice the title before this change? That'll tell you who the two culprits are :P

What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic This paper is mathematical in nature. but it'll give you an idea. You could also try stackoverflow for ways to get around such problems.

If you look at the the way floating point numbers are represented in binary, you'll understand that they're all approximations. In fact, comparing floating point numbers is considered a bad programming practice. There are some tricks around it, but this sort of comparison is never recommended.

Those product based companies are not "IT". Sure they have their own internal IT works, which is usually outsourced to the service companies, but that is not their specialization. IT != Software.

Sounds like a scam. The letter doesn't look like something that a professional organization would send. Even if it's not a scam, it's probably some kind of paid training/certification kind of thing. Either way it's best to stay away.

Marry me Amy Macdonald!! :cloud9:

Not everyone may look at the GPA, but for people with not too much experience (<2.5 years) applyling for jobs which have explicitly stated a GPA requirement should have it on their resume. Also, quite a few managers that I've talked to say an objective on your resume is useless. A summary on...

In my playthrough, I went to see Vesna quite a few quests after I saved her and she was still there. If she did not show up, she's probably been killed by barghests.

Simple. They don't have any moving parts. As long as the working temperature is kept under control, they'll work for a pretty long time with very few things to go wrong. That being said, if you really want processor failure rates you should look at the statistics of some large data center. They...

Sex for pleasure is secondary. If everyone thinks like the OP, we would be extinct.

Guess they'll have LGA alternatives as well.

Why would anyone want to have kids knowing that the world's coming to an end. That's just cruel :P

Yeah. In any case, I don't see Ferrari appealing. They would've gone over all of that in HD way before it surfaced on the interwebs. If they thought there was something amiss, there would've already been an appeal.

It looks like the Torro Rosso pulled over and let him through. Not enough juice there to change anything. Also, it's more important what flag the track marshal's waving. Those usually override the flashing light. We can't see the marshal's flag in the vid.

Oh hehe, no. I thought you were asking me if I were a sub brand of Ferrari fans who were here only because of Alonso. Should've paid attention to the quotes. I'm not alo-tifosi :D

Why do you ask? I've been using this handle here since 2005, before Alonso had won a single WDC. I hope that answers your question.
