... of the "real id" effect, under democratic conditions. The people who earn their living elsewhere don't care to risk it telling the truth, so you get the sycophants showing up trying to lick brownie points ...
Which just goes to show the Vivek Gundrota (real name, not the spurious Vic he sports) Google+ policy is dumb. And why the whole 'social' Google should be taken out and shot.
Is it just me, or did he manage to attract a particularly disgusting set of sycophants dribbling all over the comments?
Possibly even worse than the f_c_book stench now emanating from comments on most any TechCrunch topic ...
Science, my foot.
A miracle glue will not solve power dissipation problems, not even if it were a perfect thermal conductor.
Another thing to consider in terms of whether the rich “deserve” their money, or whether those rewards belong to the society that bestows them is the consolidation of labor. Consider Oprah Winfrey. She s probably only marginally better than the next best candidate for talk show queen. Yet she has amassed 100′s of millions while the next bes candidate for her job has no such job at alll. So we have two people, one tha is maybe 5% better at being a talk show queen, her income is 100 million, and another, 5% worse, and her income is some middle class wage like 50,000. Because of consolidation, the society only needs one Oprah Winfrey. We are paying 100 million to the role, not the woman. That’s the key point. She herself is worth 50,000 plus 5%, and the role of talk show queen, which could have been filled almost as well by many, many other people, is worth all the rest of the money. That role belongs to society, not to Oprahe Winfrey.
You see the same thing with CEOs, bankers, and others where consoliated and mass production allows only a few highly productive roles. The wealth associated with those roles, which is to say the consolidate dower, belongs to society not to the individual lucky enough to get to fill the role. This is why tax rates of 91% on the few that occupy the most consolidate roles was thoroughly appropriate and part of an economic approach that led to America’s greatest period of growth and general prosperity. High taxes on those who wield societies greatest powers on behalf of society are normative. The power, the influence they wield belongs to the society that allows and enables it, not to the individual who fills the role.

Cheap bastards.
It's a fool's errand that may end up costing them the company. If they succeed, they become what, fuckbook with coupons? And move on to organizing the world's stupidity into neat little crap piles, perhaps.

Hey, weren't there some poms looking for the sources of the Nile a couple of centuries ago? Any luck with that?
That's too many words to spell "mafia".
At the bottom there's a bit of Python code for the partition numbers, incidentally.
Tired of poms whinging?
Seems the Unix Bourne shell is seeping in - single quotes are for real, double quotes allow param substitution ...
Not everybody gets to attend their own eulogy, and in this case, in tone and volume, it verges on deification.
Speaking of which, is there a comedian with balls to publish an Apocolocyntosis?

I take it you haven't seen a German toilet. A small kink in the porcelain forms a delicate watery bowl holding your offering, so that you can examine it before committing it to the underworld.
That probably explains a lot.
