I think the lesson you can derive from this is to teach the developer who wrote this what the AND keyword means in SQL syntax.

Actually, the person who originally wrote this little gem currently has something close to 25 years of active development under their belt, with extensive SQL work as well. I've seen other samples of their work, written about the same time as this, and they are REALLY better than this. So this leads me to think that they were smoking something REALLY good when they wrote this.

Yeah, that might be the case . But not anymore

Well, flying is still somewhat dangerous...

Am I the last one to know that the Android SDK defines a constant[^] for the gravity on the first Death Star? Just noticed it today. I wonder whether that is the surface gravity. The gravity inside looked much higher (since people walked normally).
There also are constants for other (real) planets.

public static final float GRAVITY_DEATH_STAR_I Added in API level 1
Gravity (estimate) on the first Death Star in Empire units (m/s^2)
Constant Value: 3.5303614E-7
Also interesting to note that the Empire now uses metric (SI) units.
And where is the island which has about half of Earth's gravity?

Just out of curiosity (on win 8.1) I wondered if you could enter exponentials. I was gratified that typing 1e automatically changed to 1e+0, but worried if negative exponents worked. Nope, came out -6. Well how close is positive? Typing "1e7=" is 9999993 REALLY disappointing for a calculator (5 place accuracy), that here-to-fore I was very impressed with its accuracy. (Later I cleared memory and 1e7 gave the right answer. It assumed I wanted to subtract 7 from 1e7 or better yet: I wanted to add 1e7 to -7).
The percentage of Earth gravity is about 0.0000036%. So 100 lbm weighs 0.000000036 lbf.(100kg WEIGHS 0.036gm*mm/sec^2 on the death star) I always assumed they could stand like they did because they had developed artificial gravity. Since the pilots could turn like they did without the pilots getting squished, I assumed their star fighters had it too.
My calculator, using the link's numbers --> (((3.5303614/10000000)/9.80665)*100)= 3.5999667572514569195392922149766e-6% (Yes, parens shouldn't be necessary, but I proved to myself years ago it properly supported needed parens and that memory glitch scared me too.)
So, where is half of Earth's gravity mentioned?
PS I think my numbers are right, but I wouldn't bet 100 dollars on it.

I think the answer to your question is "EXACTLY"!

See for yourself, but copy the code, do not retype it. 
I lost hair on this one, bug on an actual project for one customer.
But it is a nice trick to do to one of your most hated co worker if his computer is unlocked... Also works in configuration files. 
This is pure evil though.
[UPDATE] With some advice I found even more evil than that.

Use better tools.
C:\>copy con x.cs
static void Main(string[] args)
{
String str1 = "http://toto.com/";
String str2 = "http://toto.com?/";
bool eq = str1 == str2;
Console.WriteLine(eq); //print false
str1 = "http://toto.com/";
str2 = "http://toto.com/";
eq = str1 == str2;
Console.WriteLine(eq); //print true
}^Z
1 file(s) copied.
P.S. This also reminds me of the time I helped a fellow student track down an error that turned out to be caused by a TAB where a sequence of SPACEs was expected.

Ironnically, the best tool that can show it to you is command line.
Even notepad would not show.
EDIT : TextPad seems to work
|
|
|
|
|
Notepad will, with the correct typeface -- try Terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
I tried to change font, and encoding, nothing do.
I even tried to copy the string in the command line, and don't get the ?.
How did you do ?
|
|
|
|
|
On the command line I use "Raster fonts" 7x12.
(Win 7)
|
|
|
|
|
I also have,
I think the problem is that I am using "clink" as my command line program.
However, on powershell, I get the missing char !
But Notepad, would not show me anything.
|
|
|
|
|
I expect it has to be a non-truetype typeface. I also see it with "Nifty Terminal".
|
|
|
|
|
Yes you are right on Terminal.
It definitively shows me, I was trying other fonts.
Need to train myself about what font, truetype, and typeface means
