At the source of every error which is blamed on the computer you will find at least two human errors, including the error of blaming it on the computer.

</frameset><!-- Internet Explorer has a "feature" called "friendly error messages" that defaults to being turned on, where it detects certain remote error conditions (among them, 404s) such that the response (presumably an error descriptor page) is less than some size (512 bytes for 404s). If that happens, it replaces the remote error message with a more "friendly" description of the error, which obscures the server's error message. Historically, this is because Apache's and IIS's error messages are famously non-helpful, and were less than that minimum size. This unnecessarily verbose comment serves only to cause this page (whose status code may be a 404, set in toolbar.py:GET_s) to go over that minimum size, so that we can force our content to be shown to IE users with "friendly error messages", even on braindead browsers. --></html>

Kilka wybranych tekstów z zaliczenia o Kondensatorze:
-kondensator jest zbudowany z dwóch półprzewodników
-pojemność kondensatora zależy od ilości zwoi w magnetowodzie
-jest to opornik, jego pojemność musi być dodatnia
-jest złożony z rezystorów jego pojemność zależy od ich ilości
-pojemność kondensatora jest określona przez moc
-przewodzi on prąd liniowy o stałym napięciu
-przykładem kondensatora może być warystor lub termistor
-kondensator nieliniowy to taki dla którego u(0)=1

Materiały ferromagnetyczne to:
-nichrom, german, magnez, manganian(potasu?), ferreryt, stałe krzemowe

O Rezystorach:
-temperatura może spowodować wyschnięcie elektrolitu
-piromagnetyki są materiałami rezystywnymi mającymi zdolności elektromotoryczne

<David Arno> Back in the 80's/90's, I worked for an aircraft simulator company that used FORTRAN. Our FORTRAN compiler had a limit of 8 characters for variable names. The company's coding standards reserved the first three of them for Hungarian-notation style info. So we had to try and create meaningful variable names with just 5 characters!

<Jonathan Leffler> Luxury: we had just 6 characters; the package had names starting with g; the internal functions all started gk; there were workstation drivers with codes such as 0p (so gk0p was the start), leaving us two characters for the rest of the Fortran name.

<pookleblinky> "When I was your age, we only had 2 characters! And it was case-insensitive!"

(Z http://www.sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-0.9.9.html#data-restrictions):
If this requirement is not met, different bad things can happen. For instance, Sphinx can crash with an internal assertion while indexing; or produce strange results when searching due to conflicting IDs. Also, a 1000-pound gorilla might eventually come out of your display and start throwing barrels at you. You've been warned.

/// The ForTo class avoids confusing syntax of "for (int i=1;i<=4;i++) {...}". This can be replaced with "foreach (int i in new ForTo(1,4)) {...}".

The search may take a while, reminding us that the Windows Registry is a large and mysterious place where dragons be. (http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2007/02/01/howto-transfer-your-putty-settings-between-computers/)

The fantastic element that explains the appeal of video games to many developers is neither the fire-breathing monsters nor the milky-skinned, semi-clad sirens; it is the experience of carrying out a task from start to finish without any change in the user requirements.
