They can use up to 2 years (I think) of a previous term. LBJ could have had 2 full terms plus the remainder he had from JFK.

That happens when you are a good developer too.

He has no cash, it's all tied up in real estate. He would have to sell to get the bond money.

Probably could get a 'donor' to purchase though.

some partitions are useful. Keeping /var and /tmp separate can stop DoS attacks by now allowing logs to fill the entire drive /home means you can wipe the / partition and keep user data.

I used to work in the field of machine translation and would like to know more about how they are doing this translation. 10 years ago, we saw the explosion of statistical and training based translations. However, these are better suited for the cloud, so does anyone know where I can find info on how Firefox does their translations?

This is the first thing I thought of as well. It's never been "just use what you want". It got better for a while as JavaScript and CSS normalized. Now it's trash again.

I found the easiest way to think about it as if there are 10 doors, you choose 1, then 8 other doors are opened. Do you stay with your first choice, or the other remaining door? Or scale up to 100. Then you really see the advantage of swapping doors. You have a higher probability when choosing the last remaining door than of having correctly choosen the correct door the first time.

Edit: More generically, it's set theory, where the initial set of doors is 1 and (n-1). In the end you are shown n-2 doors out of the second set, but the probability of having selected the correct door initially is 1/n. You can think of it as switching your choice to all of the initial (n-1) doors for a probability of (n-1)/n.
