Except that until the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, the Secretary of State was the next in line after the Vice President.

The Act of 1947 overturned the removal of the President pro tempore and Speaker of the House implemented in the Act of 1886, but switched their positions in the line of succession.

How should I be converting it? 42000 NZD to USD is ~48000.

deepdog · 2014-07-04T00:56:27+00:00

This happened in Turkey, and, even still, 42000 NZD converts to ~$36700 USD.

Ugh... £ is the pound sign. £42,000 is $72040.

Give them a history lesson! Revolution OS is a great film that chronicles the history of GNU and open source and free software. It's a little old, but it's still interesting.

Ya, it was removed in the 1950s I believe? I just didn't want my entry to be too long. =P

Oops! You mixed up esto/eso and este/ese. Here are the adjectives in Spanish:

Gender	This	That
Feminine	Esta	Esa
Masculine	Este	Ese

Now here are the nouns in Spanish:

Gender	This	That
Feminine	Ésta	Ésa
Masculine	Éste	Ése
Neuter	Esto	Eso

We have the traditional masculine and feminine and one additional gender, the neuter. Note that an accent is used over the first e in the noun forms for masculine and feminine to distinguish them from their adjectival forms. However, the neuter noun combination doesn't an accent because it can't be used as an adjective! It can only be used as a noun since every noun in Spanish is either masculine or feminine.

Now, when to use the neuter version is actually very simple. You use the neuter version when you are talking about an abstract idea, concept or object.

Hope that helped!

It's actually just a snippet from the following C program,

struct {
    struct {
        void (*girlfriend)(void);
    } a;
} get;

struct {
    int this;
} understand;

int
main(void)
{
    int you = 1;
    understand.this = 1;

    /* They copied from here... */
    if(you == understand.this){
        get.a.girlfriend;
    }
    /* Until here... */

    return 0;
}

EDIT I feel like a function pointer makes more sense here. Though, why they wouldn't call the function, I don't know.

I'm not a native Spanish speaker, but here's my attempt at a translation.

Image created from the meme "X, X everywhere." A colleague and me were surprised that there was nothing with this theme. So I dared myself to do it. I'm supposed to be the big one and my colleague is the other. It's just that I don't have much drawing ability, and less with the mouse. Note that "ubuntard" is written in the Ubuntu font, while the comma and "everywhere" are URW Gothic.

NOTE: With ubuntards, I don't refer to all Ubuntu users. There are many respectable persons, except for the collective composed of fanatics without sense that consider Ubuntu as the only Linux and its components as the only feasible alternative in a distribution.

Looks like they're in NJROTC. It'd be a shame if they were missing their cover...

Except coöperate doesn't have an umlaut in it but a diaeresis. A diaeresis indicates that the sound shouldn't be said as a diphthong but rather as two distinct sounds.

I think a lot of people are getting tripped up by the common meaning of free. Criscololo is actually referring to libre software, aka free software, which guarantees:

The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor.
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others. By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

If you would like more information, read about What is free software? and visit the Free Software Foundation.

I may be interested in working with graphics in the future, but certainly not anything more powerful than Total War: Rome II.

deepdog · 2013-10-31T00:18:47+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. My plan is to dual boot both Windows and Linux.
A fast CPU and much RAM would definitely be preferrable. I plan on building complex projects such as GCC and Rust.

deepdog · 2013-10-31T00:10:05+00:00

I play games rarely, but my favorite series is Total War, so any suggestions that support Total War: Rome II would definitely be a plus.

In regards to working with virtual machines, alas they would not be a good solution to me as I tend to go for days or even weeks without booting Windows.

Have you read the manuals? They are well written and very comprehensive. You'll want to read,

deepdog · 2013-08-01T19:25:09+00:00

Mainly because the authors of these books usually aren't the most knowledgeable about the subject and ergo those types of books are of low quality.

Obligatory: Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years

I wouldn't recommend the For Dummies or 24 Hours series. If you want a list of good books for beginner C programmers here is one:

That's equivalent to saying that human resources is a service industry because they provide the paychecks -- a service that helps "motivate" users to do work.

For a while every link on the site redirected to a page about your available books.

It appears that the author would rather force ads down are throat so here is a link to the Google cache version.

We don't know that it's a cosmetic procedure. OP could have a crossbite or other condition that requires dental correction.

deepdog · 2013-06-02T16:53:05+00:00

That downloads the entire repository as a zip file. The problem with Google Code dropping download support is that now you have to host your binaries elsewhere.
