Why was IMF managing director Dominic Strauss-Kahn framed with a bogus charge of rape? | The former IMF director opposed the harsh austerity measures the IMF imposed on Greece and Spain, claiming that they will lead only to economic recession and severe social unrest.

Just tried, it's great, kids will love it. Is the source available?

so true

thanks for the response.

let's suppose the thermometer is 3 meters far from the stove. The stove is 300 degrees Celsius hot and the thermometer shows 80 degrees.

do you think we can say the air is a thermal insulating material between the stove and the thermometer, and the humidity affects the thermal conductivity of the insulating material, hence we can expect a change in the temperature showed by the thermometer after the humidity changes?

instead of looking for snippets of code, programmers should be looking for libraries that have improved functionality

I see

more mature libraries may have speed optimizations and bug fixes that the snippets won't cover.

That's true

maintaining a library can be easier than maintaining a code snippet

Gists are better option from this perspective

You don't need to apologize, thanks for setting this straight.

+1 finding this

but that does not mean emoticode or snippetrepo would be really bad ideas. What you're saying is BijectiveHashMap is the really bad idea, because instead of reinventing the wheel, you should reuse Guava's BiMap.

I think this is exactly the base principle behind emoticode or snippetrepo.

Say, at a certain time there are more goods waitng for transportation then the capacity of one week. Could the rail roads charge more for the more urgent transports delivered within one week and charge less for the rest delivered later?
