Right, re-introduced in the early 90s.
Some interesting reporting, thus from 1999: Beavers a threat to Dykes: ...reintroduced [in Biesbosch] between 1988 and 1991The introduced animals suffered high mortality and the population grew very slowly. The total population size in 1997 was 65 animals and it is increasing at a very slow rate.[^]
Yet 12 years later, the BBC reports: The beaver-breeding programme began in 1988, and since then the beaver population has grown exponentially[^]
 The BBC, they just lie all the time about the environment.
"Triumphant mating habits combined with the beavers' ability to breed so successfully in the Dutch countryside "
What the f*** is a 'triumphant mating habit'? DOes it involve trumpets and fanfares I wonder?
And what is so special about the Dutch countryside when it comes to getting beavers to f***? Dykes can't be a turn on surely!
" they have been moving beyond the southern province of Limburg and entering towns and cities that may not be prepared for the influx."
Where there arent any Dykes, and Limburg is a long way from Biesbosch anywy, but the suggestion here is the Limburg is basically all countryside, and everything south is town and city. South of Limburg is the Ardennes for f***s sake, about as un city like as you can get.
WHat a fantastically incorrect and fumblingly inaccurate pile fo crap reporting that is!
Anyway, beavers make good hats apparently, shame they are out of fashion.

Maybe, but the CPU's cr@p, and can't work out even the simplest of problems.

but it'll be better than the current multiple CPU's that can't even agree on the same answer to the simplest of problems.

Here's a fantastic article / interactive graphic story that explains a great method for learning and memory retention. I'm sure you'll really like it if you check it out. It definitely deserves more attention because it is done so well.

Thanks going to give it a try.
There's a ton of stuff I have to repeatedly google so I downloaded the anki app in hopes it will help me.

It really is a cool method for learning. I first learned about spaced repetition while learning Spanish from Pimsleur language learning series.

Looks like a good system. There's some things that I just can't remember, simple things that I have to look up often. Had a professor in college that said he didn't remember simple things because he could look them up, but it slows things down and you lose your train of thought when you continually have to look stuff up.

I agree and this is definitely true in relation to programming languages, APIs etc. Especially if you work on multiple platforms.

Strongly disagree.
This is why fast search (and tools built on it like intelisense) is far more important then trying to remember: changing (evolving, extending, standardising..) API definitions makes memorising a detriment if not a danger and really should be avoided.
"Well when I learned it it started at 1, since when did they change it to zero?"
= not only 'what I memorised is now useless information' but 'it WILL cause my code to fail.'
(Well in vb it starts at one, but c# starts at zero, but they are both .net)
Applicable to any field: If my 50 year old doctor is going to rely on what he memorised back in med school 25 years earlier than I'm going elsewhere. I'm way happier if he looks stuff up and/or asks his peers.
Yeah it's fine for remembering peoples names
and in say programming simple info like what symbol to use for addition and [less obvious] modulo in language X... or even bit deeper such as the logical vs boolean operators (which many compilers might not flag the ambiguity when it looks like the wrong choice may have been made)
but when it comes to API's and interfaces (i.e. communication between 2 entities) particularly between platforms absolutely always far better look it up (particularly if not used for some time), or significant new versions of one or/and the other entity have been released...
Does looking it up slow you down? Rubbish. With google etc, you're talking seconds or less to check.
Whereas, [given these things do change, given platforms do differ, ...] it's "remembering" the wrong thing that'll significantly slow you down and cause failures.
