This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"Mike" also allegedly ran a money laundering network in China, Europe and the US.
"The network compromised email accounts of small to medium businesses around the world including in Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the United States," it said.
So... all those "I want to put money in your account" emails were genuine?

He tried, but they had to deposit money in his account first for bail... and please, don't call me Shirley.

There are no intelligence tests required to accept an inheritance, last time I checked. But this instance makes a good case for post-natal abortion...

You know, that was the one outlier I considered, but when I thought about it a bit more, I realized it was just deferring the stupidity. So their parent, or parent's parent, (or parent's parent's.....) was smart enough to make the money, but not smart enough to make sure their kid was smart enough not to squander it.

Yes it's kind of a programming question, give me codez urgent$$ please...
No seriously, no code needed just internet links! 
I am working on some geometry primitive library at home... geometry occlusion, union, intersection, XOR...
Well started working would be more accurate.
I found some good resources already, but they are for polygons (i.e. point joined by straight lines).
My problem is my geometries would be delimited by linear, cubic and quadratic Bezier curve...
Before I (attempt to) generalise the Vatti algorithm on my own or such... Could anyone direct me to some nice geometry library (preferably in either C#, C, C++, Java, Objective-C) that do Shape geometry operation please?!
[EDIT] I found the proverbially scary library, the entire library, 26 classes all in one file! 
Clipper download | SourceForge.net[^]
Anyway.. mm.. only 4718 lines for the whole library, not so bad after all!

Would a JavaScript library do? I recommend ProcessingJS.

Khan Academy has some tutorials on how to use it.

....but you obviously have because your phone automatically connects to their wifi. Happened to me at the weekend and I'm still trying to work out when the previous time I went there was. All I know is it must have been good.

I always avoid taking the fondleslab to the pub - the chances of losing it, breaking it, or having it 'alf-inched are just too great.
Which pub was it?

It is not an imperative indication that you have been there before.
But your phone was probably

Not necessarily true. If the pub has a sister pub somewhere that uses the same id and password for their wifi and you connected there, then you will automatically connect to the new pub's wifi. Happens to me all the time at Starbucks.

If you don't remember it, but your phone does, it's probably a good place to revisit. Obviously you had a good time the last time you were there, even if - or possibly because - you can't remember it.

From time to time we all do this... a quick and (very) dirty solution to let it go fast and make the customer happy...
Where is your line? When you would refuse (real life samples are the best) your boss to do the Q&D?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Q&D might lead in a dead end street scenario und leave your code full of hacks. Q&D makes sense in the end stadium of a project: if no new features or code reuse is planned.
And it also depends what problem it solved.
BTW: I am currently fighting against a "one shot" Q&D by arguing for a new patch level (by some bugfixes)
Press F1 for help or google it.
