Not really, no. Many people sign inconsistently in the first place. Their signature today won't be an exact match to whatever you have on file. A proper expert analysis of 2 signatures to decide if they're from the same person will cost at least $10,000. The transaction would have to be worth significantly more than that for the signature to have any value at all.
Probably because upgrading Excel isn't their specialty, they are busy doing engineering and don't have time for flavor of the month gratuitous changes to their tools.
I develop software. Show me an actually better language or a better compiler and you'll have my attention. Show me a minor version bump to a text editor that moves all the options around and I'll show you the door.
But about that language, if it's just yet another rehash of an idea that came ind went in the '80s because it seemed like a good idea until someone tried to actually use it and I'll tell you that too.
I'm reminded of the time when people with ulcers would get better if they would just slow down and relax. That was all there was ti it. Then they discovered it's an infectious disease and a lot of people started actually getting better.
After a number of years of electing right wing kooks in the U.K. they're starting to catch up with the death panels in the U.S. You know, the ones that say you don't need elective surgery if you can't afford insurance.
You're reading that wrong. It's not the difference between get over it and take action. It's the difference between huge lawsuits and possibly some jail time and even bigger lawsuits and many many years of jail time.
Even number crunching is questionable. The input file is tiny, but you're going to have to retrieve the huge output files. If you have one or two jobs in a year, perhaps, but if you are routinely using supercomputing, the costs will quickly favor bringing it in-house.
It doesn't matter what currency it is, people will notice that suddenly clean water is more expensive than fine wine or caviar. If you try to trick them with new currency, you'll just convince them that the new currency is a trick and they'll use the old currency anyway. There are many places now where the official currency is junk and the grey market trades in someone else's stronger currency.
Meanwhile, it would be a shame if you did manage to hide the truth, since it's not actually that hard to purify water. The demand would quickly convince a number of people to get busy purifying massive amounts of water, thus bringing the price right back down.
Really, even if he presents code from his own spare time, you can't know if he walked out with the crown jewels on a USB key. You can only assume innocence until guilt is proven. It the code he shows is just something to print mailing labels for the CEO's Christmas cards to senior managers, I would argue that getting all that upset about it is the moral problem, not his actions.
Currently, that's a problem. A few years from now, it may be a blessing when more people have PV on the roof. Imagine knowing your car will be charged soon enough while absolutely zero gasoline shipments can be expected for the next two weeks or so.
Cash would outlast the government that printed it. Consider, the big whatever happened and you now find yourself making decisions for a local government. You need a currency. Why not just back the existing one everyone is familiar with until more pressing issues are settled?
Shouldn't that depend on what it is? Sure, it's a problem if the code contains the sooper sekrit sause. But if it's a trivial yet another x, not so much.
Careful with the analysis though. For example, during war does the suicide rate drop or does it just get re-directed to people dying from acts of heroism? Similar for other dangerous times.
Free means nobody got ripped off, but since I presume the volunteers are hoping to contribute something useful, they might want to take feedback under advisement.
Again, you can be clear to the layman without dumbing down. SOME articles do a decent job of it, others are barely recognizable even to someone who already knows the subject material. For example, gumbi west is quite right about the Kaon article. The article is positively obtuse yet gains no utility to an expert for it.

But in real life, the computer has no clue. The old "the infallible computer says" line died in the '80s once home computers started becoming common.
I can use the magic phrase "That's not my signature". If you want to prove it is, it will cost you at least $10,000 for an expert.
Clerks can check the signature on the receipt against the signature on the back of the CC as a form of verification, but that is secondary.
Only in the sense that your auto mechanic can give you a complete physical when you apply for life insurance.

If it actually becomes popular and so a necessary evil, I can learn it quickly enough. That happened with Java.
A similar thing happened with PHP. It's ugly and could be done better, but it won't go away.
These days, it's Javascript frameworks and librarues. Mostly heavyweight solutions to lightweight problems.

I think you can already get that from the shoddier vendors.

Here in the South East, we never saw a lot of snow, but now we actually get summer like thunderstorms around Christmas time.
Rebuilding is fine as long as they build on stilts or make it a floating house this time.

And the cell towers are connected by....the fiber! Also the POTS lines.

Sure, but many won't be recorded that way. They'll just be KIA. That's why I caution about the stats.
Exactly my point. Those won't be recorded as suicides.
