If the carnivore wants food, something will have to eat the plants.

Here's the site for the new system - http://www.eircode.ie/

Another advantage of Mercator is that if you display the map from latitudes of about -85 degrees to +85 degrees you end up with a perfect square, which makes chopping the map into tiles nice and easy.

I hope this results in them improving Simplenote. I find it pretty buggy.

The problem with just turning cookies off (in the UK anyway) is that with the new cookie law every second site now has an annoying message telling you about their cookie policy and you are now going to see it on every page.

Some are even modal which could render the site useless.

You could use it to test if the value has been changed.

That's because Ireland has low corporation tax (12.5%) so multinational companies export their profits there and artificially inflate the GDP.

Its two negation operators. The first returns false is the object exists and true if it doesn't and the second flips that around.

The main reason that SGML allowed closing tags to be optional was that it was 80s technology and storage was expensive.

To omit tags you needed a DTD that allowed the parser to infer where the close tags should go.

Enforcing the use of close tags in XML meant that building a parser was much simpler and that you no longer had to supply a DTD which I think were probably very instrumental in XML's success.
