i before e cept after c

Name: Anonymous 2012-12-29 8:06

prog/

I had a great idea

search for statistically valid spelling rules like "i before e cept after c"

who is with me? this could be a great probject. Just need a dictionary with words counted by frequency of use in writing.

But that's not a valid spelling rule.

The controller circuit can be replaced with a user-supplied one. Hm, this is giving me plenty of ideas of new features like keeping food warm after it's done cooking or automatically calculating the time it takes for the heat to penetrate (say) meat given the weight and thickness. Thanks bro.

How about something like the GPL, except the right to run the code is not covered by it, so users may have to purchase a license for that; before doing so, they can consult the source code and make sure it's really what they want (e.g. security audit). It's open source, and "free" as in freedom (to a certain extent), but not "free" as in beer.

Confirmed neocon, and irrational unlearning man. Shrewed is more appropriate. The earth, with all its resources, can maintain more than 30G humans just fine. Just not Wasters like petrol corps. Geothermal as well as Liquid fluoride thorium nuclear reactors are fine for the upkeep in energy. Even a decent plan to make portable nuclear reactors and tesla coils from the too. But no, americunts are afraid ghosts attacking their computer money.

Actually, so yourself a favor, read wiki, and look at what has citations with mathematical guess work, and what does not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation

You will find that humans more than likely will depopulate than consume it all. I just love how nature works/

It's like being a hooker (I love hookers btw) letting your clientele slamming your anus as much as they want, then just let them leave without paying you. You're expecting them to pity pay you, of course that doesn't happen and you'll not be able to buy pretty clothes and makeup to feel good about yourself, to compensate having your anus ravaged by disgusting pigs. So all you're left with is a - for life - swollen anus-flower and a deep hatred to your pimp RMS.

Bed-sharing can lead to accidental suffocation of the infant in a number of ways. Prosecutors in several states (including Minnesota, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin[3] and Utah[4][5]) have charged parents with manslaughter[3][4][5] whose children died while bed-sharing when the parents were under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
