You know all of those bugs that appear out of nowhere in your code without even touching it?
It's all the dinosaurs!

My eldest has formed the theory that the sharks killed all the dinosaurs.
He saw a video of an allosaurus (probably) hunting fish, only for a huge shark looking thing to pull it into the water. Don't want to correct his theory as it is the most boyish idea I have heard.

Just a suggestion - wouldn't this be a great way to spend time with her by helping her hunt for them?

No one noticed your clever use of the double negative and they have all supplied the wrong answers.

Actually she is correct, there are several species of what we would consider dinosaurs that are still in existence. The answer the teacher is probably looking for is shark, but another example that is currently in danger of becoming extinct is the coelacanth which has been around for about 400 million years.
Interestingly enough, I had to do a report on a specific type of dinosaur when I was in the 4th grade and I chose the coelacanth. That was quite some time ago, so for your daughter to be learning about dinosaurs is probably not that common.
Software development is an endless struggle between the software developer who strives to produce even greater idiot-proof applications and the universe, which strives to produce even greater idiots.

This may just be a race to see who posts first - I don't think it's too hard...

My new iPhone just arrived. The iPhone 5S. I'm still waiting for the nanosim though, so my trustworthy iPhone 3G will still have to hold on for just a few more days. I bought it in August 2007. That's a staggering 7,5 years for a phone that traveled to the USA, all across Europe, Latin America and Singapore/Malaysia...
The 5C is somewhat cheaper in some cases, but lacks some stuff and the 6 is just way to expensive. (Which I also thought of the 5S, but I considered it to be the best value for the money)

If I were you I would never let my phone travel unattended.
Do you get it now?

7.5 years is nothing!
My HP HW6915 must have lasted me for 9 or 10 years, and still had several weeks of battery life when it was retired, fully working, in favour of an Android phone (that works inside the house, because it's on Vodafone).

Yes, but like, you live on Mercury or Venus or something, right?

Well, at least I could take mine out of it's box and use it!
Did you ever try unpacking yours, or was that the only way it could survive?

not sure what you mean by that, it hasn't been inside the box since I unpacked it way back then ...

I'm joking about iPhone break-ability: they scratch, melt in the rain, crack, bend, or catch fire in extreme cases!
And yes, I know that's not true of all of them...

OK. Well, I did threw on the ground a few times and it never missed, but the (protection) case just held fine (and so did the glass thankfully )
