- Watch this petite dark haired beauty resist... at first. She quickly gets over her shyness and drops down to her knees to give one of the best deep throat blowjobs we've seen in a long time! After sucking off her big dicked stud she jumps on the cock and rides it until she can't take it no more. She then rolls over and takes it from behind until she screams, and then licks up a massive cumshot all over her face.

Ross William Ulbricht Google Plus
The UpTake: As the law stands the Feds may have overstepped their bounds by seizing Bitcoin, but that doesn't mean the law itself might soon have to change.
Bitcoin owners may have more in common with the man the Feds call the Dread Pirate Roberts than they think. In December, the alleged mastermind behind the Silk Road black market, Ross William Ulbricht, filed paperwork requesting his seized Bitcoins be returned on the grounds that encrypted currency isn't subject to civil forfeiture, according to an Associated Press report.
And the court's final decision could impact the government's ability to seize your Bitcoin, even if they can't prove a law has been broken.
New York City-based asset forfeiture lawyer, Steven L. Kessler, who has recently found himself boning up on Bitcoin civil forfeitures, says there's more than one way the question of seizing encrypted currency—made of a bunch of intangible ones and zeros rather than denominations printed on paper—could go down.
"Things, property, real estate, any asset that you own is a possible subject to forfeiture," whether criminal forfeiture, when a crime has been charged, or civil forfeiture, when no crime is provable, he said. But in the age of information, where data itself has value, and where money itself can be comprised of encrypted numbers, should some types of information be siezable too?
As of now, Kessler said "data is not subject to forfeiture that I know of," even though he acknowledges that technically, on insider trading cases involving traditional currencies, all that's being moved around is data.
Another option he considered, was that in the case of Ulbricht, whose lawyer he said he knows well, there might be a legal definition of currency related to money laundering cases distinct from traditional definitions.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

For many of you, the trade deadline in your fantasy leagues is likely just around the corner. It may have already even passed. One thing that means is that working the waiver wire will be more important than ever down the stretch. If your trade deadline has passed, picking guys up and strategically using your waiver priority will be the only way to acquire players. Here are some solid players you should be targeting on the Week 9 waiver wire.
Marvin Jones, WR, Bengals: Jones has come out of nowhere this month, hauling in 15 catches for 250 yards and a whopping six touchdowns over Cincinnati's past three games. Most of us expected Mohamed Sanu to be the second option in the passing game for Andy Dalton behind AJ Green, but Jones has been that guy. He was probably added in a lot of leagues last week and will still be the most popular add this week. There are some red flags, however. Is his ridiculous touchdown pace going to continue? Not a chance. Andrew Hawkins is set to return from short-term IR soon and should steal some targets from Jones. He can still be productive, but don't get sucked into the Eddie Royal trap if you already have decent receiver depth. His fantasy scoring rate simply can't continue.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Colts: Reggie Wayne is out for the season with a torn ACL. The Colts are not going to stop passing with Andrew Luck, so Heyward-Bey and TY Hilton should both see a significant increase in targets. Heyward-Bey has shown some big-play ability and has played on roughly 75% of Indy's offensive snaps this season. The Colts were on a bye last week, which should have helped DHB and Hilton prepare for expanded roles. The fact that the Colts did not swing a trade for a wide receiver or add a veteran means they trust the guys they have now. Heyward-Bey should be a viable WR3 based on volume alone.

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- The city of La Grange is taking a big financial hit. La Grange mayor Bill Lammlein confirms that the city has had its credit rating cut five steps, to "junk" by Moody's Investors Service.
Moody's says the city was at risk of defaulting on money it borrowed to buy land for commercial development. The Oldham-La Grange Development Authority hasn't been able to sell most of the thousand acres it bought with the loan.
A payroll tax proposed by the mayor would have brought in $600,000 a year. Without that revenue, La Grange may have to default on an $8 million payment in June of 2015.

Nike Air Force 1 Low – White Canvas – Black
March 22nd, 2013 by John Kim | 5 comments
Canvas uppers, ring eyelets – that means one thing: Summer shoe alert. This latest Nike Air Force 1 Low release hits us in an incredibly clean combination of off-white canvas uppers paired with a jet-black synthetic leather Swoosh and inner lining, with a white midsole and Gum outsole completing the look. Simply said, these are one of the cleanest Air Force 1s we've seen in a while, and it doesn't need a "Year of the Snake" or a Supreme outfit to give it that vibe because we're certain the Air Force 1 fans already approve these without fail. A few more angles are below so give it a look and get 'em now over at JDSports.

Reye syndrome
Reye syndrome is sudden (acute) brain damage (encephalopathy) and liver function problems of unknown cause.
The syndrome has occurred with the use of aspirin to treat chickenpox or the flu in children. However, it has become very uncommon since aspirin is no longer recommended for routine use in children.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Reye syndrome is most often seen in children ages 4 - 12. Most cases that occur with chickenpox are in children ages 5 - 9. Cases that occur with the flu (influenzae type B) are usually in children ages 10 - 14.
Children with Reye syndrome get sick very suddenly. Reye syndrome usually follows an upper respiratory infection (URI) or chickenpox by about 1 week.
Reye syndrome often begins with vomiting, which lasts for many hours. The vomiting is quickly followed by irritable and aggressive behavior. As the condition gets worse, the child may be unable to stay awake and alert.
Other symptoms of Reye syndrome:
- Confusion
- Lethargy
- Loss of consciousness or coma
- Mental changes
- Nausea and vomiting
- Seizures
- Unusual placement of arms and legs (decerebrate posture) -- the arms are extended straight and turned toward the body, the legs are held straight, and the toes are pointed downward
Other symptoms that can occur with this disorder include:
- Double vision
- Hearing loss
- Muscle function loss or paralysis of the arms or legs
- Speech difficulties
- Weakness in the arms or legs
Signs and tests
The following tests may be used to diagnose Reye syndrome:
There is no specific treatment for this condition. The health care provider will monitor the pressure in the brain, blood gases, and blood acid-base balance (pH).
Treatments may include:
- Breathing support (a breathing machine may be needed during a deep coma)
- Fluids by IV to provide electrolytes and glucose
- Steroids to reduce swelling in the brain
Expectations (prognosis)
How well a person does depends on the severity of any coma, as well as other factors.
The outcome for those who survive an acute episode may be good.
- Coma
- Permanent brain damage
- Seizures
Untreated, seizures and coma may be life-threatening.
Calling your health care provider
Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) immediately if your child has confusion, lethargy, or other mental changes.
Never give a child aspirin unless told to do so by your doctor.
When a child must take aspirin, take care to reduce the child's risk of catching a viral illness such as the flu and chickenpox. Avoid aspirin for several weeks after the child has received a varicella (chickenpox) vaccine.
Note: Other over-the-counter medications, such as Pepto-Bismol and substances with oil of wintergreen also contain aspirin compounds called salicylates. Do not give these to a child who has a cold or fever.

You may have seen the infographic above posted in a number of places some time last year, lamenting the fact that high-grossing movies in today's cinematic landscape tend to be attached to stories already in the public consciousness—that there is less quality, original filmmaking coming out for audiences to consume. The only way that may be true is of course if we eliminate the entire independent film system which thrives on the original screenplay and low budget production of original and often off-the-wall material. By that metric, there are more original stories being told on film than ever. The movies making the most money, however, are the tentpole pictures usually tied to a successful introductory film like Iron Man or Pirates of the Caribbean. Building on the success of a hit is obvious less work for a bigger payoff, aka the American Dream.
What that does not mean, though, is that these movies are inherently worse than if we were getting so called original content. All it really shows is that to get people in to see a movie and make a lot of money from it, studios need to convince audiences that their movie is something familiar and has a high probability of being entertaining. Times have changed to allow for many different cinematic markets, and the most profitable one is the one geared toward the familiar. But that's also totally fine, and results in movies that are full of spectacle and even good storytelling in the best cases. Indeed, this can spring up in the cases of reboots, remakes and franchise pictures just as easily as with anything else. Unsurprisingly, it usually depends on the people working on the project.
Here are 6 reasons remakes and franchise pictures should not be cast in such a negative light.
Continue reading on the next page…
1) Everything is a remake
Kirby Ferguson's compelling video series entitled "Everything is a Remix" provides a terrifically detailed analysis on the question of whether, to be a tad banal, there really can be anything new under the sun. One of the tenets of postmodernism is that the notion of originality is largely a fallacy. Even movies that seem wholly original, like Inception or The Matrix draw heavily in their storytelling from cinema that has come before them. Many filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino will create original stories but make no effort whatsoever to hide whose ideas they're stealing from—people call it pastiche filmmaking.
So instead of taking great pains to avoid the impression that they're stealing or borrowing from or being inspired by art that they themselves have consumed—deluding themselves into thinking their own work is absolutely novel and repeats nothing—many films are keen to cite giants upon whose shoulders they stand. And this doesn't make them less original than a completely new story, because there's really no such thing. What's more, new ideas can come in many forms. The rhythm of the dialogue in The Matrix felt very different while the story and style of action borrowed from classical philosophy and Japanese cinema. And so it goes. So it's not terribly convincing to me that telling the story of Spider-Man again is less legitimate or interesting than re-telling Plato's story of The Cave.

2) Seeing new interpretations of material is interesting
It's apparently an infinitesimally fine line between what material is appropriately classical and worthy of being done over and over again the way theatre plays get repeated, and what is "too soon" or is considered impossible to improve upon. But improvement isn't exactly the point. It can be enough for a remake to be simply interesting in its differences rather than specifically better. In the case of a movie like Total Recall, the hope is likely to update some of the aesthetic and technological material of the story, and the original Schwarzenegger version was far from a masterpiece, so what's the harm?
It seems that the fear is that laziness in conceiving a new story will necessitate laziness in the storytelling, and thus a boring, uninspired movie as the result. There are too many exceptions to this idea for it to be a hard and fast rule. Even Man of Steel, for all the flak it has taken, cannot be fairly criticized as dispassionate or uninterested. It has a bit of a new take on what Superman is about, but the idea that this detracts from the Supermen that have already been formed and exist in cultural history is akin to thinking same sex marriage somehow sullies current heterosexual marriages. Likewise, Andrew Garfield's channeling of Peter Parker is vastly different than Tobey Maguire's, but the choices he makes, making him a confident but shy teenager still finding his identity, is interesting and entertaining. Even remakes and sequels designed solely to make money do things that are different in terms of spectacle or scale, and this holds merit worth judging on its effectiveness rather than based on prejudice.

3) It's sort of always been this way
One of the factors that upset people so much about the latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby by Baz Luhrmann, aside from the absurd opinion that it's inherently unfilmable material, was the thought of "they're making another version of it??" As surprising as it was to see people actually defending the Robert Redford version of Gatsby, some were going so far as to say the version that no one else could top was the lost 1926 version because only the most hipstercritical would have seen the surviving trailer of it and claim ownership over it. The point is that it's been adapted several times already, in a variety of media, and probably will continue to be adapted. And this is a good thing.
It's not only good, it's normal. It has historical precedent, to be sure. Of course it's nice to see something completely alien to anything we've seen before, but it's also satisfying and can be interesting to see the wave of adapted musicals from the 1960s, or the early stage adaptations that film began with, from Shakespeare to Biblical stories. It was the decision to use film to visually adapt previously existing stories that was meant to grant it artistic legitimacy, so it's ironic that now the same practice is cited as having the opposite effect.
Continue reading on the next page…
4) Stories aren't sacred
People like to be precious and possessive about stories they have a connection to, and movies make these things permanent in a way theatre can't. It's totally understandable why people would be skeptical about a new interpretation of a beloved novel like Gatsby or an adored character like Superman. Many don't even like seeing their favorite stories get adapted for the screen at all, like we saw in the early criticisms of The Hunger Games. It's hard not to have a strong personal connection to a story you love, and as with many loving relationships people have with other people or objects, it's easy to become incredibly possessive of these things. For many people, when you love a movie an exceptional amount, you literally go out and buy and own it.
Legal implications of intellectual property rights aside, no one really owns a movie, or any story. Particularly in the case of movies, there are so many people contributing in small or large portions along the way that assigning one person ownership is a reduction we've all come to accept as imperfect but necessary. But when it comes to stories being retold, remade, or expanded upon, there shouldn't necessarily be anything offensive about someone wanting to contributing to the universe(s) that exist in the cultural consciousness. A story can't be ruined by its retelling and modification as long as we have the original or otherwise preferred version of the story. Now, if remaking Scarface meant that the Pacino version were to somehow disappear from the face of the earth, that I'd have a problem with. Until that day comes, go crazy, Universal.
Continue reading on the next page…
5) They're bold and risky
Remakes or sequels carry a lot of weight with them, from people's heightened expectations to others' skepticism. Failure is almost the default expectation. So when a movie like J.J. Abrams' first Star Trek came out in 2009, the impression that it captured the most beloved elements of the Star Trek universe and contemporized it beautifully was an overwhelmingly pleasant surprise, perhaps resulting in a response more positive that the movie would have merited in a vacuum. Trying to recreate that sense of triumph over such a challenge in the sequel Star Trek Into Darkness evidently proved too tall a task according to many, though it's hard to blame Abrams for trying.
It's a bit of a sliding scale where it can be more difficult in some ways to pull off a completely original story, but at the same time a portion of audiences will be pleased just by seeing something novel. Then again, while it may be perceived as easier to execute a story where the characters and even plot are already laid out, today's savvy audiences are less confident in finding these rehashes satisfactory, so winning them over is a sign of real excellence, whether the first weekend box office numbers are evidence of this or not.

6) There are plenty of success stories
Lots of Hollywood movies flop. The notion that maintaining movie franchises is a safer option for the big studios to pump out every year is a financial decision that they've determined to be most profitable. But there are still John Carters and After Earths that come from original material or unproduced source material that are magnificent failures. Everyone loves their Inceptions and Loopers but part of the beauty and worth of these movies is their rarity. It's also probable that there would be no Inception without Christopher Nolan rebooting the Batman story, updating it for a slick and cynical generation, and doing so with clear and abundant appreciation for the source material rather than snobbish perfunctoriness.
If we look at the movies themselves, trying to ignore the "this shouldn't have been made!" attitude that plagues so many responses to contemporary blockbusters, there has been some gorgeous work done to artistically reimagine stories and characters that the filmmakers obviously love just as much as the biggest fanboy or girl. Marc Webb's reboot of The Amazing Spider-Man is a masterful retelling of the Peter Parker origin tale, done with more heart and teenage realism than any movie previous. Likewise, Man of Steel may not be the image of Superman that exists in the hearts and minds of many, but Zack Snyder's technical precision and narrative subtlety is a worthy companion to the mythological pantheon of Superman, and cinematic history as a whole. This is something remakes at their best can and will do.Previous

The Street Glow Extreme Rush is an opportunity for import racers to drop the hammer at traditional, domestic Powerade NHRA events.
That's right, four and six-cylinder turbocharged import draggers share the limelight with Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock, running in their own exhibition classes. The imports are from the NHRA Summit Racing Sport Compact Pro FWD and Pro RWD classes and the competitors are selected by their points standing in the SC series. This was the second and final Extreme Rush event for 2003 and after the success at the Route 66 event, the imports hoped to convert more domestic fans at the O'Reilly Fall Nationals at Texas Motorplex in Ennis, Texas.
In Pro RWD, Stephan Papadakis and the AEM/Driver FX Honda Civic unleashed a shock-and-awe campaign that would make the Pentagon stand and take notice.
On a day when the current king of Pro Stock, Greg Andersen, qualified atop the ladder with a 6.826 at 203 mph, Steph blasted a 6.753 at 206 mph. George Ioannou and his Street Glow Solara pounded out a 6.823 at 203 mph. Imports had the top two spots in the category. In other six-second news, Abel Ibarra put his K&N Filters RX-7 in the sixes with a stout 6.952 at 199.46 mph. Abel has been at the threshold a number of times; it's good to see him get it done on the Powerade stage. Next stop the 200-mph Club?
Naysayers of imports would say, "You're quick, but can you last for rounds?" Steph answered in one of the most impressive performances ever seen from an import. The AEM Civic dropped 6.748 (206.23), 6.733 (205.80), 6.775 (206.46) and a best-for-last 6.711 at 207.46 mph on the crowd. The fans have taken noticed of these imports and you know the Pro Stock racers are aware of the situation. Greg Andersen won the event with a 6.807- you can connect the dots from there.
Not all of the Pro Stock racers like being challenged by these newcomers. Warren Johnson seems to be one of the detractors. In a public address system interview, he didn't think much of the imports as they made their exhibition passes. When George Ioannou clicked off a 6.814 at 206, The Professor was asked what he thought of that. He turned and stormed out of the room.
In an ironic twist, Johnson's cars and the Street Glow Solaras were scheduled for a photo op. Ara Arslanian has long wanted to race Warren in the first import vs. Pro Stock showdown. Rumor has it that a four-car shootout-George and Ara vs. Kurt and Warren Johnson may go down in 2004. The likely venue? Englishtown.
The cars in Pro FWD weren't on top of their game. Christian Rado did well to qualify with an 8.377 at 164 mph, Lisa Kubo ran an off-pace 8.766 at 125 mph, and Nelson Hoyos and Shaun Carlson suffered from mechanical demons. Jarrod Silvers ran in the 8.90 range all weekend and took home the win.
Will the Extreme Rush be back in 2004? We're not sure. These imports may be getting too quick.

The Charlotte County Sheriff's deputies arrested a Port Charlotte man Monday for dumping over 2,000 cubic feet of freshly chopped mulch on Devereaux Avenue last Friday.
Rex Eugene Bolin, 52, was arrested for felony Littering Over 500 Pounds.
Deputies were contacted after a witness who was riding her bicycle said she saw a black Ford F-150 pickup pulling a trailer loaded with mulch near her home.
She watched the pickup go toward Devereaux Avenue and shortly after, she saw the mulch pile dumped in the road.
The witness followed a trail of mulch in the street that led her to Bolin's home where the same pickup and empty trailer was parked.
Deputies went to the home and saw the pickup, a trailer, and a commercial size chipper on the lot being cleared.
Bolin told the deputy he rented the chipper and hired three people to clear the lot. He said he wanted to minimize the time between legal dumping to speed up the job.
He was arrested and taken to the Charlotte County Jail.
Anyone who has information about illegal dumping is asked to call the sheriff's office at 941-639-2101, or Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477).

Play by the rules or you will get burned.
I remember in my first job, I had to extend some SuperbaseV4 code. The entire codebase consisted of controls with names such as 'screen1' to 'screen15'. I had to extend this to 30.
Given two pathways, extending it as it was written, or trying to recode the entire program, I ended up writing a program which I called SpaghettiMaster, that let me GENERATE code like this using wildcards. I think it was written in VB2 or VB3.
This gave me much more time to play Wolf3D instead cut/pasting and typing in numbers at the end of of each each variable. I still have no regrets...

I've always just read the digits when reading a numeral in any base other than 10. Even in binary or octal. (Which 10 is the exception? 10 base 10 of course.)

It did exponents in Basic before Microsoft ever existed. It did pointing in Pascal. IBM used to map ¬ onto ~ for logical not, but later IBM decided to map ¬ onto ^ and I wonder if they use that for logical not. (Yeah, sure that mapping is logical ... NOT.)

This was certainly the most entertaining comments thread in a very long time. This shows why TDWTF comments need an upvote button.
Thanks everyone who participated (even those 1 out of 10 types who don't understand binary).
I vote for a new conventio where comments can be upvoted.
I couldn't disagree more with your method of counting (out loud) in binary.
Similar to your binary counting, I know it's really common for software developers to read hexadecimal numbers as if they were decimal: e.g. "0x20" is often read as "hex twenty". But in English, the word twenty has a definite meaning. It refers to the number that comes after nineteen, and it should have the same meaning regardless of the number system it's written in. After all, I'm pretty sure the words for numbers in English predate the Arabic numerals we use today.
To me, "twenty" can be written 20, XX, 0x14, etc., but not 0x20. IMO, 0x20 should be pronounced "thirty-two" or "hex two-zero", but not "hex twenty".
After all, you wouldn't pronounce the Roman numeral II as "roman eleven", would you?
I know I'm in the minority here, as pretty much every other software developer I know would pronounce "0x20" as "hex twenty". I still think it's wrong, and I think people do it because it's easier than saying "hex two-zero."
[/pedantic rant]
I disagree, 18, 1A and 1E are perfectly acceptable as they are. Pronounce them "ayteen", "atteen" and either "eeteen" or "etteen" and if the hearer misunderstands then it's their fault and they need to wash their ears out. Hearing the difference between twenty-A and twenty-eight, and indeed between twenty and twenty-E is merely another challenge of the Third Millennij.
Just to save a little memory I would prefer
long[] rules = new rules[8]

"Sì" (yes) or "no"?
There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

The idea of language is communication. If "hex twenty" communicates the idea of number 32 written in hexadecimal notation faster than "hex two zero", and if it isn't ambiguous (which it isn't), then it is also not wrong.
I happily say "ef-thousands" (or its equivalent in my language) rather than "ef zero zero zero", because "ef-thousands" is both faster to say, and it is easier to comprehend how many zeros I meant there to be. In English there would be also "ef triple-zero" but that concept isn't there in my native language.

With a bit of concentration, you might get that actually right.
Hint: you probably did not intend to read inputInt bits 8 through 1 into rules[0] through rules[7], but rather bits 7 through 0. Or at least I hope so.
I wouldn't normally bother, but three pages of comments without a single correct replacement for the headline WTF is just too much.

Fuck off, this isn't facebook.
Fair enough. However, oftentimes people will drop the "hex" prefix and simply say "twenty", which is ambiguous. Of course, the context of the situation (i.e. reading a hex dump) will normally resolve the ambiguity, but not always. Also, consider that "twenty hex" is arguably more ambigous than "hex twenty", because "twenty hex" could plausibly mean "twenty written in hex" (0x14), or "0x20".
Going back to what you said about communication, oftentimes people will sacrifice precision for speed and efficiency. Another example is that developers (in conversation) will often assume that "100 KB" means "100,000 bytes", even when the context (size of a file as reported by Windows) clearly states otherwise.
Of course, natural language will always have ambiguities, so I guess it's silly for me to complain about this specific one.
Oh god.
Ponies...ponies everywhere...
You've got 99 problems, but the bits ain't one.
The reason the clock doesn't show seconds is that the font had to be swapped in to update the time, and that meant that (with only 4MB of RAM) Windows would have been continually swapping.
4GB on the other hand would have been unusually large amount of hard disk space; at the time, many BIOSes couldn't handle IDE drives of over about 500MB. (Don't ask me whether those are binary or decimal MB, I'm past caring.) SCSI drives were a little better catered for, as you could get up to 4GB or even 8GB boot partition on some controllers. (Once you had booted into Windows NT 3.51 you could of course proceed to access the rest of your SCSI disk.)

Like what? What you want to know is how well something will sell and how much money it will make you, but that can take years and doesn't tell you anything about the effect of any particular employee on the outcome. Figuring out who is doing productive work, who is doing work that will make the customers love the program, who is adding subsystems that no one will care about or use, and who is just plain slacking off is not a trivial problem.

This works pretty well under the right circumstances. At my last job, I was a project manager and could hire anyone I wanted over the internet, so I hired two teams from two different countries: a programming team and a testing team. The two teams never knew about each other so there was never any incentive to game the system.
There are actually several things wrong with your code.
1. Primarily you need std::back_inserter(out) to be able to write to your iterator `out`. `out.begin()` in your main() is not a valid OutputIterator (because the vector is empty)
2. vector<bool> is dodgy in the first place. Do not use.
3. boolify is a template but in your code you are using a std::string iterator so it will never be anything but a char.
4. The whole thing, i.e. converting to string then back to bool, is the real WTF.
5. If I still decided to employ to work in my team you'd better change your bracing style. I like readable code without hurting my eyes.
If you call A,B,C,D,E and F by their names Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo and Foxtrot you don't get issue, Alphateen doesn't sound like Eighteen. And TwentyEcho doesn't sound like Twenty.
However I think hex powers should be given their own unique names. So 0x100 isn't called "one hundred" nor of course do we call it "two hundred and fifty six" or "hex one zero zero" but a proper new name.
Similarly a naming convention for 0x16 etc. Incidentally it's a WTF in English that the "teen" and "ty" suffixes sound so similar so you can't easily tell between 15 and 50. We'd fix that in our hexadecimal language.
It isn't StackOverflow.com either. But upvoting comments dates a lot further back than facebook (where liking is actually a rather annoying feature).
I think upvoting comments would be cool if that was the way comments were selected to be featured. (I did finally get 2 of my comments featured a few months ago after years of trying).
Translation: Hey, I have no clue what I'm talking about, it's demonstrably too hard for me to grasp, but hey! Let's pretend otherwise.
Yeah, sure :/

Who says that "twenty" means this many: ||||| ||||| ||||| |||||, and not "the digit two followed by the digit zero"?
When a French person sees that number of objects and says "vingt", would you say that he is wrong becaue the correct word for that number is "twenty" and not "vingt"? If someone speaking in French may properly call this number of objects "vingt" rather than "twenty" because he is speaking a different language, then by the same reasoning, why may not a person speaking in hex properly call this number of objects "fourteen" rather than "twenty" because he is speaking a different base?
"0x20 should be pronounced 'thirty-two'". Hmm, let's think about this. Suppose that you and a friend are trying to solve some programming problem. At some point it proves useful for you to read some hex numbers off the screen so he can write them down to check on a calculation or some such.
So you see, let us say, "x10". You would then say "sixteen". You expect him to write "x10". Then you see "x92B4". You would say "thirty-seven thousand five hundred fifty-six". You then expect him to write "x92B4". And so on through the list.
This fails the "remotely resembling practical" test.
Excuse me sir, but you are insane.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who divide people into two kinds, and those who don't.
Look buddy, I admitted it wasn't an entirely reasonable complaint, it's just my personal POV which I recognize is not shared by most. Not sure where you get off calling me "insane".
'Who says that "twenty" means this many: ||||| ||||| ||||| |||||, and not "the digit two followed by the digit zero"?'
Look up the etymology of twenty, and ask yourself which came first: the word "twenty", or its decimal representation in Arabic numerals "20". (Hint: Arabic numerals were invented around 500 AD and were only introduced in Europe around the 10th century). Are you telling me "twenty" used to have a different meaning just because people used to write it as "XX" and not "20"? Of course not!
"vingt" in French and "twenty" in English have the exact same meaning -- they both refer to number you get when you multiply two and ten (by "ten", I mean the total number of fingers, including thumbs, on both hands of a healthy human being.) "Vingt" and "twenty" have always referred to that number, regardless of how it was written down.
The problem (IMO) is that people usually don't distinguish between a number such as twenty/vingt (meaning this many things: ||||| ||||| ||||| |||||) and its written representation (20, 0x14, XX). Which is why when people see a hex number that *looks* like "20" -- 0x20 -- they think that they can read it as "twenty". But it isn't.
Can you explain why roman numerals are always pronounced as the number they represent and not how they're written down?
In other words "Super Bowl XLVII" is pronounced "Super Bowl Forty-Seven", and not "Super Bowl Exs El Vee Eye Eye".
So I'm crazy for wanting to pronounce 0x14 as twenty (although I admit this isn't optimal), but people aren't crazy for pronouncing "XLVII" as 47?
In fact, I think this definition of "twenty" rather proves my point:
Notice that "XX" is an accepted representation of the number "twenty". And so is, I would argue "0x14" and 10100 (binary).
Now, I agree 100% that it's not practical to say "twenty" when reading "0x14". However, I still say it's wrong to read "0x14" as "fourteen", no matter how many people want to do it, out of laziness. My compromise is to say "hex one four". Just call me crazy.
Addendum (2012-12-06 15:31):
Long story short: I think the word "twenty" (or "vignt") refers to a number, and not a particular representation of it (decimal, roman numerals, binary, hex).
Addendum (2012-12-06 15:44):
I looked it up and Roman numerals were used until about the 14th century. So there was definitely a time when English-speaking people would write "twenty" (or its Old English equivalent) as "XX". Now we write it as "20". The meaning of "twenty" has not changed one bit, because its meaning has nothing to do with how it's written down.
So for people to now say that "twenty" can mean "0x20" or "020" (octal), or whatever, doesn't sit right with me. Yeah, I know in the real world, language is determined by usage and not definitions, but it's the same kind of mindset ("You know what I meant!") that created the "binary-vs-decimal ambiguity" with units of kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, etc.
To answer your question more succinctly, when a French person says "vingt" and an English person says "twenty", they are still referring to the same number. No meanings have been altered.
When a person "speaking in hex" says "fourteen" to mean 0x14, he is talking about a completely different number, and changing the accepted meaning of the word "fourteen", and introducing ambiguity for someone who is missing the context.
I have actually witnessed conversations which go:
Engineer A: You were supposed to write "twenty" to that register.
Engineer B: I did.
Engineer A: No, I meant "hex twenty".
Engineer B: Oops, I wrote "decimal twenty". No wonder it wasn't working.
But, I'm the crazy one, right?
No, I would say "one zero" and "nine two bee four". I would not say (as some would suggest) "ten" and "nine thousand two hundred BEE four" (the latter really doesn't make any sense to me.)
Thanks for snipping my quote to make me seem even stupider than I actually am. The original quote was:
"0x20 should be pronounced "thirty-two" or "hex two-zero", but not "hex twenty"
To be fair, "thirty-two" is actually my (distant) second choice, and I'd probably only say it if the actual value is important (as opposed to the way it's displayed/typed.) So my original statement could've been better.
One last post on the subject and I'm out. If non-techie pointed at "0x10" on a computer screen and asked you what it meant, which explanation would make more sense (from an English language and common sense POV)?
A) "It's another way of writing the number 'sixteen', in a number system called 'hex'. You can pronounce it 'hex one zero'."
B) "It's 'hex ten', which is another way of writing 'sixteen' or what we would call 'decimal sixteen'. Sometimes people just say 'ten', when it's clear from context what they mean."
I would prefer A). Obviously most people prefer B), because it's easier for efficient communication (but with more room for ambiguity.)
Instead of such looking short cuts, one is better off, doing it right, by using true bit wise operations.
I think this is an awesome idea, actually. Too bad any proposed "spoken hexadecimal language" would never catch on, for the same reason that the proposed "binary prefixes" kibi-, mebi-, gibi-, tebi-, etc. will never be widely adopted.
I also want to point out to Jay and others, not all developers/engineers have the same standards when it comes to pronouncing hex and binary out loud. I don't know anyone at my company who pronounces binary as though it were decimal: e.g. none of my co-workers read "0100" as "one hundred binary". And I don't have any co-workers who would read "0xF001" as "eff thousand and one". This is despite the fact that they would all pronounce "0x20" as "twenty". Seems that not everyone draws the line for "acceptable pronunciations" at the same place.
I also think it's interesting that this makes at least two instances where engineers/software developers have taken English words/prefixes that were once unambiguous (kilo-, mega- etc. and all decimal numbers) and made them context-sensitive within our industry. No big deal, right? Tell that to Seagate, who lost a class-action lawsuit over "misleading hard drive capacities".
The "correct" way to refer to x20 is "hex two zero". Part of our schooling at a very young age was in number bases. The teachers were careful to emphasise that 20 is pronounced "Twenty" only when its base is 10. Otherwise it's "two zero base (n)" where n is whatever base it's in. Technically "x20" should be read "two zero base sixteen" but "hex two zero" beats it on many levels. Similarly "020" would be read as "oct two zero".
Your mythical engineers in an earlier conv reading out hex numbers to each other will, if they are sensible, read "x2000$ as "hex two zero zero zero" or (given that the context is clear) just "two zero zero zero" - the reason being that once you're in the groove of reading out hex numbers digit by digit, it confuses the hearer to suddenly get a reading for which he needs to mentally jump to a different paradigm. Following "nine ef ay eight" with "two thousand", for example, is as jarring as driving over a bump.
Not sure why you're responding to my comment, since I pretty much agree with everything you said. Maybe you should've replied to one of the other comments which said "language is about communication!", "I count binary like this: zero, ten, eleven, one hundred...", "eff thousands is easier to say than eff zero zero zero", or "Who says 'twenty' doesn't actually mean the digit 2 followed by the digit 0" (well it does, but only when "20" is actually meant to represent two times ten. Obviously 0x20 does not represent two times ten.)
Also, the earlier conv between "mythical" engineers was not my example. That was an example given by someone (Jay) who was trying to tell me how insane I was for thinking that it's incorrect to pronounce "F000" as "eff thousands" (for example.)
And just in case you were actually referring to the conversation I actually posted about the confusion between two engineers over "decimal 20" and "hex 20", that actually happened at my workplace. More than once.

Engineers did it for slang, not expecting the slang to replace the correct scientific and mathematical meaning. And engineers used that slang only for RAM and ROM because of the way those are constructed. 1 gigabit per second didn't used to mean 1,073,741,824 bits per second, once upon a time in a galaxy far far away.
Yes the lawsuit and the court ruling were absurd. No Seagate wasn't the victim. If you picked a manufacturer at random you had a 40% chance of getting it right. (40% chance on Seagate, 40% chance on Western Digital, and 20% chance on Toshiba because they only make notebook drives.)
I realize that. My point is that engineers and developers also say "twenty" as slang for 0x20, for example. And some developers (none that I personally know, but at least one in this thread) even say "one hundred" as slang for 100 (binary). I don't want to look up "twenty" in the dictionary 5 years from now and see:
It wouldn't be such a big deal to me except I've already personally witnessed cases where the ambiguity caused people to waste far more time than it would've taken to just say "hex two zero".
I don't really care whether the lawsuit and ruling were absurd or not (I'm leaning towards agreeing that they are, though). My point is it all stemmed from an abuse of language in the first place.
People still complain that "OMG, the disk size Windows reports is different from the disk size specified by the manufacturer!", and I still know at least one IT admin who believes that the difference stems from "unformatted vs formatted capacity". He has no idea about binary vs. decimal prefixes for bits/bytes.
You say engineers used some slang which was never intended to become mainstream. Well, like I admitted before, meaning comes from usage and not what your teachers tell you or what the dictionary prescribes. I know it's futile to stop the meaning of the word "twenty" from changing or expanding, but that won't stop me from believing that "twenty" should only refer to the number you get when you multiply two by ten.
Re: A Bit Misguided
2012-12-09 19:17 • by Norman Diamond (unregistered)
Yeah, but the slang should never have been allowed to get out.
By the way, even my word "engineers" was too broad. This isn't rocket science. If this were rocket science, engineers would use kilo for 1000 not for 1024.
Yeah, twenty is the number of digits a person has. In other words, it varies from person to person. Some have six on each hand, and traditional Japanese gangsters still often have fewer than five.
Overheard at work today:
This proves two of my points:
1) It would've been easier, quicker and clearer just to say "hex two one" in the first place
2) There are times that people actually care about the value of a number ("in decimal"). It isn't stupid to pronounce "0x20" as "thirty-two" when you need to know the value (in English, which would make it easier to think about in decimal). I never meant to imply that you would always pronounce "0x20" as "thirty-two". I just meant that it's one way of saying it that isn't incorrect. Just like 10 binary should be pronounceable as "two", if you want to know the value in English or "decimal".
Ultimately it doesn't matter, though. People will say whatever they want to say.
Addendum (2012-12-10 15:07):
(I write "in decimal" in quotes, because obviously the value of a number is the same whether you write it as 32, 0x20, XXXII, etc. Of course, when we say "thirty-two", we naturally think of the modern-day decimal Arabic numeral representation "32".)
You mean 8 problems, right?

I could never actually write code like this, even with copy and paste. Somewhere in the 256 entries, I would make a mistake in one of the ones or zeros, which would make for some rather obscure bugs. So if I had to do this, I would write a shell script to generate it, i.e:

OBJECTIVE: The authors' goal was to replicate an earlier finding of a
familial liability for depression in Alzheimer's disease. METHOD: The
family histories of depression and dementia were compared in 28 patients
experiencing a first episode of major depression after onset of Alzheimer's
disease and 74 nondepressed patients with Alzheimer's disease. RESULTS:
Significantly more families of depressed dementia patients included
depressed first-degree relatives. There was no difference between
Alzheimer's disease patients with and without depression in the proportion
of families with a history of dementia. CONCLUSIONS: Major depression in
Alzheimer's disease is associated with a familial liability for depression
that is independent of any familial liability for dementia.

Are Your Bones Running on Empty?
By Susan E. Brown, PHD, CNS
Despite our society's seemingly obsessive focus on calcium intake, studies repeatedly show that the cultures with the highest dairy consumption, and thus the highest calcium intake, exhibit the greatest incidence of osteoporotic fracture. This observation has led to the identification of a mysterious "international calcium paradox." How is it that in the U.S. 1,000 to 1,500 mgs or more of calcium daily are considered necessary for maintaining bone health, while many other populations maintain strong bones with a calcium intake of 400 mg or less?
It turns out that calcium intake is only part of the equation, and that an appropriate dietary reference intake (DRI) for a given population depends on coexisting dietary, lifestyle and environmental factors. These include the balance between the total intake of other nutrients and the consumption of potentially bone-damaging substances such as excess salt, protein, alcohol, tobacco, fat, processed foods and sugar. The use of certain bone-depleting medications, the lack of sunlight, the presence of environmental toxins and even stress have deleterious effects on bones.
The most overlooked, however, and perhaps the most important of all the culturally created bone-depleting factors is known as "diet-induced chronic, low-grade metabolic acidosis." In other words, our nutrient-deficient and imbalanced diet produces an excess of acids in the body that damages and, in effect, "eats away" our bones.
This occurs because our biological systems are genetically hard-wired to maintain the body's chemical balance—its slightly alkaline pH level—at all costs to ensure minute-to-minute survival. And when we consume a diet high in acid-forming substances and fail to supply the body with sufficient base, or acid-neutralizing nutrients such as potassium, it goes in search of the next available sources. It looks first in the bloodstream, then to the cells and tissues, and then to its rainy-day alkali reserves in the bones.
Bones and the Defense of the Acid-Alkaline Balance
You likely know that bone stores the vast majority of the body's three-plus pounds of calcium. When blood calcium declines to dangerous levels, the body draws calcium out of the bones to replenish it. If the body withdraws more calcium from bone than it deposits, over time it depletes the bones' reserves, and the resultant loss of bone mass leads to osteoporosis. But bone also holds most of the body's essential alkali reserves. These mineral compounds take the form of alkalizing calcium salts and are capable of buffering, or detoxifying, acids. They stand by in the blood, body fluids, cells, tissue and bone to buffer any excess acids produced by the body's biochemical workings—neutralizing them through spontaneous biochemical reactions that keep the acids from accumulating.
A diet that balances base- and acid-forming foods maintains the body's systemic pH balance. If acid-forming foods predominate, however, as i...

Are you a TV Fanatic?
Sign up for our daily newsletter to receive personalized television news for free!
They're being bitter because of spoilers they don't want to believe. Even I don't believe some of it but JM's involvment with fans and twitter makes me doubt the misleading.This was before the sex spoiler though. It was during the pageant/hummingbirds episode and when Tyler came up with the plan to trap Klaus' body inside him or something and Caroline said no. She got a lot of flack for not supporting him when all along, she just wanted to help him. It's like fans feel Caroline owe Tyler her life because he broke his bones for her.
It's funny though because everytime she does, Sharon sends me PM's laughing her ass off.
Sometimes I think I should remove her from my ignore list, just for the lulz. But mostly I find her SO annoying, I can't even laugh.
But that newbie (Skylark?) nailed it, I was dying. "they're gonna have sex whether you like it or not" "I have no words for this" LMFAO.
tbh the only way she should be addressed is with posts that openly mocks her/Tyler/TC. Everything else is a waste of breath. She can't see beyond it anyway.
lol also AlwaysBL with her replies - when she was complaining TC weren't in the 4x13 promo, she told her that if they were, Klaus would be too. and when she said it's ridiculous to speculate about KC kissing, she asked her if she'd rather talk about Tyler's extended absence. I died.

After posting last week about the importance of collecting addresses and the advantages of email marketing (here), we thought that we'd share a great article, the "7 top tips to integrate email with social media" to help get your brain churning even more!
These two forms of marketing (email and social media) can join forces to help your dealership get the most out of both of them! Check out this article, "7 top tips to integrate email with social media" (by Tink Taylor) for some great and practical ideas on how to combine social media and email marketing efforts.
Our favorite tips from the article:
1. Include 'share on social network' links in your email messages.
This makes it easy for your email readers to share the content they find valuable. If you make it easy for someone to share, they're more likely to do it (and sharing is what it's really all about)! Add "share" buttons to content and links you focus on in your email efforts. AND, if you don't already, make sure that you have these same share buttons on your blog. Make it easy to share every piece of content your dealership creates!
2. Use blog posts as content for email newsletters.
A lot of people think that having a newsletter and a blog is going to be a lot of extra writing work, but that's not always the case! Get the most out of your writing by using it in multiple ways. Feature your best blog posts in your email campaigns (and conversely highlight newsletter material on your blog).
