You'll see a couple of others in niche domains, not just because of the lead programmer's obsessions. None of those languages is particularly suitable for safety critical software, for example, which is why Ada is still being used.
If learning something that has had a lot of influence makes us better at a language, presumably we should all be learning Anglo-Saxon, to make us better at English. And maybe it would make us better at English (though I doubt it), but is it the most effective way to make us better?
I'm not sure about the distinction you are making. In Germany, Hate speech is forbidden. That means you can still make hate speech, but you have to face the consequences of the action. Just like raising a false fire alarm in a crowded building.
I don't know how it works in the USA, but in the UK if a store sells something that isn't what it claims to be (brand-name or not), the customer's contract is with the store and the store is liable. If the store was, in turn, defrauded by a supplier, the store can go after the supplier to recover whatever damages they had to pay the customer, plus legal costs, damages for loss of goodwill, and anything else they can throw at them.
The customer does have the option of taking the issue up with the supplier, but taking it up with the store saves the trouble of the customer having to work out where, in a supply chain that's probably invisible to them, the fraud took place.
The difference between this supermoon and the average full moon will be visible to the naked eye. The difference between this supermoon and other supermoons (which are relatively common) won't be.
Yes, Norway is doing fine outside the EU. Mind you, Norway is in the EEA, so it is still subject to many EU rules, including free movement of people (having to be part of the Shengen area). I'm not sure that's quite what those pushing for a hard Brexit would want.
And that's the problem. Leave the EU? Well, fine - possibly. Leave on what basis? A Norway-style arrangement? A Switzerland-style one? A Canadian-style one? A basic WTO one? The majority in the referendum said they wanted something on that spectrum, but didn't say what (because there was no way to). Many of those who prefer remain would be content to leave with an arrangement like Norway's or Switzerland's, but those favouring a "hard Brexit" try to suppress any such discussion.
And actually, the UK wasn't doing particularly well before we joined the EU. We had economic growth, yes, but we were falling way behind our main competitors. That's pretty much why we joined.
That's a matter for the Supreme Court to decide, if the government goes ahead with its appeal. If they lose that one too, it will be very interesting to see whether they take it to the European Court.
The 4% split is precisely what the leave campaigners said would be "unfinished business" (and remember the leave supporter who started an online petition for a second referendum before the vote was in?)
"Demanding they get most of what they want if they had lost the vote" is a bit less than the leave campaigners said they would do: they said they'd continue to demand all of what they want. The reaction would be pretty much the same as we have with the present situation: a pile of people cheering them on, a pile of people telling them to get over it, and a government running around like headless chickens in search of a viable plan.
Once Article 50 is invoked, there is no mechanism to undo it, and so the UK would be out of the UK no later than two years after its invocation. If there a mechanism for the UK to say, "We've not managed to negotiate acceptable conditions, so we're staying after all" then there would be no need to bring Article 50 before Parliament, but absent such a mechanism, invoking Article 50 is (delayed) nullification of the EEC act.
This is good for all those people who voted for Brexit so they could take back democracy; they have actually taken back democracy.
It's not so good for all those people who only saidthey wanted Brexit so they could take back democracy, because now we can see they don't actually want democracy at all.
The indication Parliament got from the referendum was that the country is very nearly equally split on the issue (before the referendum, Nigel Farage (a - no, the - leading exit campaigner) said that a 48%/52% split would be "unfinished business", and he was right (it's just that he thought at the time the split would go against him). No political party serious about election or re-election wants to throw away 48% of the votes of the portion of the electorate that turns up at polling stations much more than they want to throw away 52% of it. That's why most of the realists in government will be frantically scrabbling around for a compromise that leaves everyone just a bit disappointed rather than leaving roughly half of the voters livid. Such a compromise is far from easy to find, and this legal ruling does at least buy time.
Sounds like a lower-pitched version of the Trimphone ringtone from the 1960s. I'm not convinced changing the pitch is a sufficiently creative contribution to warrant a trademark.
112 is an official emergency number in the UK, too. We still like to help our fellow Europeans, despite recent political events. And apparently 911 works too, though it's not official.
In the old days you you stepped out of the bar to make a call - the landline phones were typically in the corridor leading to the washrooms, because the bar was too noisy for voice calls, or you might have had to look for a public phone box in the street. And guess what! Stepping outside the bar (and the Faraday cage) would still work!
The trouble is, Cortana is consistently effective at doing whatever search you don't want. If I want to do a general web search, it doesn't show me web results, it just shows me apps that are vaguely similar (whether I have them installed or not). But if I want to run a program I already have installed, instead it will take me to the web page to install that app. You think Cortana is a waste of space and time for file and folder search? Then you can bet your sweet bippy that's all Cortana will do for you.

What kind of person could turn 56 accidental deaths into a joke?
Anyone who uses humour as a way of dealing with things that would be too painful to deal with any other way?
Getting on with it would end the constant free publicity they get from talking about it.

1. I saw one of those automatic beer taps at Hong Kong Airport. It still needed staffing, to make sure nobody who looked underage used it.
2. No, we drink it cold over here. Just not so cold you can't taste it (because our beer is worth tasting).
I agree; anyone can program, with no special effort required.
Programming so you deliver working and maintainable code on time and to budget, on the other hand...
Reverting to 19th-century safety standards, though, might not be a good idea.
It objectifies women which is bad,
I think you'll find the ban will apply to quite a lot of porn that doesn't include any women at all.
Actually, I think they're a Spode, not a Spade.

Does that make Pokémon Go illegal, because millennials' cellphone batteries might be flat when they need to make an emergency call?

Frankenstein's monster was also Frankenstein (he regarded the doctor as his father, so he would have taken the same surname).
