On the hundredth day after the departure there are a lot of Long-tailed sparrows on the island

The answer is that inductive reasoning obviously doesn't model reality, based on the the purported difficulty of the solution.
For the pendant in me, in a world close to our own the first response of any dragon will be that since the other ninety-nine dragons have the same colored eyes, as they can plainly see, their own must be green or the other ninety-nine must be green. If it is common knowledge that all dragons have the same eye color, they would immediately conclude it was true for all. If it wasn't common knowledge, a follow-up discussion with their peers would reveal that everyone had the same color, which must be green. So either way all dragons disappear that night.

1) Dragons are subject to quantum effects and enter a superposition that collapses when observed so unless Sylvester McMonkey McBean[^] goes back to the island to get them to switch from iPhones to Android (or back again) they'll be fine.

Can I solve it? Sure... Do I get the same answer that the logicians get? No way. And even after reading all the explanations, I think my answer is correct.

What is a planet? That is the question Harvard scientists want answered. Unfortunately for Pluto, the debate on the definition of a planet puts it back in the middle of an eight-year-old classification controversy. My very excellent mother will be pleased

According to an interview with Bloomberg TV, the ex-chairman apparently believes that Microsoft’s Office productivity suite is in need of dramatic improvements, and that it should be the software giant’s top priority to make that happen. Finally! An update to gorilla.bas!

Wow he finally started using it seriously and found out it's a PITA eh?

Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

Hopefully he's still got enough clout that they'll listen to him...did I really just say that?
If he talks to them in Klingon it may help?

Is XAML a dying language? It’s a pretty common question with a not-so-simple answer. Still, we can get a solid idea of where it’s all heading by taking a look at the language from its conception to its current state. By the time we’re finished, you should be able to answer this one incessant question: Is XAML still worth your time? "The future will soon be a thing of the past."

There are three versions of XAML now:
1) WPF
2) Silverlight
3) Metro
WPF XAML is almost frozen, but still used on desktop.
Sliverlight XAML is still used on WinPhone
Metro XAML is definitely alive.

|
|
4) Xamarin Form!

These are not really "versions", the only difference is that they map to a different set of namespaces and objects (although using the same XML namespace), but the XAML language (syntax, semantics, etc.) is the same for all of them. I think it's worth noting at this point that XAML is not just useful for UIs. You can actually reuse it in your own solutions where a declarative markup for object composition makes sense, write your own markup extenstions, etc. It's just that no one really uses it for anything else than UI.
|
|
|
|
|
And what about Workflow Foundation? WPF, Silverlight, et al, all use a mere subset of XAML now, as it goes well beyond developing UIs.

Microsoft is in London this week sponsoring the third-annual Star Trek conference. Instead of just splashing its corporate logo all over the conference, Microsoft has gone a step further by changing its Cortana digital assistant to speak Klingon, the language spoken by Klingons in Star Trek. "bISeH'eghlaH'be'chugh latlh Dara'laH'be'"

Microsoft said in a legal filing that Samsung, the biggest Android phonemaker in the world, paid the software maker more than $1 billion a year to use its technology in Samsung phones. Always good business to keep a little extortion going on the side

One of the main goals with the Windows 10 Technical Preview is for Microsoft to collect feedback to help shape the final version of the operating system, which is said to be coming sometime in summer 2015. The Technical Preview requires users to register with the Windows Insider Program, which allows users to submit their own feedback about the operating system... but is Microsoft collecting more than what you think you're submitting? "I always feel like somebody's watching me"
