At least one source, the free online dictionary (favored by Google when a search is bound to 'dict'), gives chromatic's use as the second choice for 'determine' when used transitively. Personally, I disagree, particularly in this context: 'determine' in the sense of 'ascertain' appears close to optimal.
"stow" may be otherwise; perhaps "store"?
But lest any take jethro's reference to his relationship with English as an adverse indicator, my view is that his use of the language puts to shame much of what we see here from individuals whose status as "native English speaker(s)" is self-evident.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
