A little off topic:
I read once about a situation in a Detroit city park involving a dog let off its leash. Most cities have leash laws. Anyway, the guy let his dog off leash and a cop shot the dog, issued a $100 ticket and told the guy to clean up the mess. This is not likely to happen for a barking dog in the yard of its owner, but who knows. Cops seem to have a lot of discretion these days.
Fossil fuels will increase in price again and eventually run out. This may take a long time but first the vast majority of cars will be electric hybrids and then fully electric. The one thing limiting the transition to plug in electric cars is the infrastructure of charging stations or battery exchange locations allowing long distance travel. Then again, long distance travel may done when most towns are connected by electricity powered trains and cars are only for local transportation.
Not quite. MSFT has a market cap of $427 billion and Apple has somewhat more than $200 billion in cash, most, if not all, in foreign banks. If that money ware repatriated, Apple might have up to $120 billion after paying federal taxes and even less if there's a California corporate tax, and other state taxes where they do business.
Time will tell whether the huge iPad will sell really well. For some uses, particularly for artists using the pen (which is not yet available) interface, it may work. But making it a keyboard device for real work, I think folks might find a less heavy, OS X based Macbook for $100 more to be more useful.
Not an Apple hater or MSFT lover here. I use Windows and am upset at what Windows 10 is and am considering moving to Apple equipment should my current hardware fail or MSFT not change the Windows 10 paradigm.
I guess he didn't think of the tablet with a keyboard running a workbook OS like the Surface Pros. Microsoft sort of tried what the iPad Pro is with their Surface RT, an app based device, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Cook should have learned from that. Leo Laporte today showed an iPad Pro with the Logitech keyboard-case and it was bigger and heavier than his Macbook and only $100 less costly. Apple certainly could make a Macbook with touch using OS X having a removable keyboard. I think it would sell like hotcakes.

Would Romeo be different if he were named John? (I'm not sure romantic men would like being called a John instead of a Romeo. Then again...)
Call those who write software whatever they want to be called: it wouldn't change what they do or how people look at them.
There are a lot of professions that attempt to raise their credibility by using an inappropriate descriptive term: political SCIENCE; psychology and sociology as behavioral SCIENCE. Most literate folks, particularly true scientists, take this jargon for what it's worth.
IIRC, IBM used their compiler to compile Microsoft's Win 3.1 code and the resulting product ran much faster and more reliably in OS2 than DOS. Also, I'm not sure exactly what the controversy was, but did Microsoft develop NT in parallel with IBM's and MS's co development of OS2? Did NT have any OS2 code? Comments, anyone.
Put your encrypted computer or data store in a diplomatic bag for transport across borders. This may require having diplomat friends at both ends of the chain. Then again, friendly countries may be glad to help if they suspect you might embarrass an enemy.
I'm not sure the samples are reliably labeled or even exist. According to the original post, the samples were mixed up. One probably can't be sure the samples represent reliably what they're alleged to represent.
In the case of a plea bargain there's the option of executive pardon, i.e., the governor can grant the pardon and have the record cleared. Often the plea bargain is accepted by the accused to reduce sentence and or fine for all kinds of reasons and not because they did the deed, including legal costs. If there's a cost-benefit advantage to the accused for the plea as opposed to the disadvantage of conviction folks may take the plea bargain even though they really know they're not guilty. I mean, like, in a capital crime, getting out of the possibility of a death sentence vs. life, well, it depends on your point of view.
If I read the original post correctly, samples were mixed up, not tested, etc. Who knows what other problems there are with stored samples if they even exist any more. I wouldn't be surprised if they're not mislabeled and contaminated with who knows what. Any retesting of the samples would likely be totally unreliable.
What do they mean, "can't figure out how to repair the damage." This is total nonsense. It's pretty easy to figure out what to do but likly complicated in execution. Everyone that was convicted on the basis of any test performed by the crime lab should have their record cleared and if still incarcerated, released. Next, compensation for any lost income, with interest, should be paid, including legal fees. For those who lost a job or could not get a job because of a phony criminal record should likewise be compensated. Folks who were brought to trial or otherwise inconvenienced but not convicted should also be compensated. It's going to be hard to figure compensation for other kinds of damage to people such as psychological damage, broken marriages, etc. Now, some truly guilty who may or may not have been convicted will benefit from this process, but that's better than not being fair to those unfairly treated. Note, I wrote that persons convicted on the basis of a lab test should be cleared but for some cases other evidence may have been more important for prosecution.
It seems to me this requirement is illegal as people must be paid for work - at least at a minimum wage. Another way to look at this is that such work could be considered slavery which surely is illegal. Also, you can offer people a job but they don't have to take it. And if one gets another job there may be a giant conflict of interest in transferring knowledge, no matter how trivial, from the new job to the slavery position. What idiot in HR came up with this idea?
It would seem that gravity would be quantized at the level of the smallest particle having mass. Any bulk mass is ultimately made up of these smallest particles and the expression of the gravity of the bulk mass would be the sum of that of all the smallest particles making up that mass. One problem with gravity for the smallest particles is distinguishing it from the much larger kinds of interactions such as electric charge, etc.
Science does involve knowledge of facts as well as hypotheses and theories. Without knowledge of the known facts determined by scientific experiment one might just be condemned to relearning what others have already discovered instead of extending that knowledge to ongoing studies or new areas of discovery.
Furthermore, one of the problems in some parts of the world and in particular some states of the USA is an anti science culture. Some folks have used various governmental school agencies to restrict the teaching of many scientific disciplines including evolution because they think it contradicts biblical authority.
In Colorado recently a state authority has reduced the standards for high school graduation by allowing lack of competence in science by graduates. Imagine a small school district that has budget problems and finds that the best way to solve it is to eliminate science education from the HS curriculum. Apparently that's possible with the new rules. These HS graduates obviously will be at a disadvantage trying to get into college, but the school district may have balanced its budget.
Oh, wait. His replacement might be worse and the House of Representatives may get even less done.
Now, it'll be interesting whether Boehner has lined up a job with an existing lobbying company or will form his own company. He'll likely make many millions, if not tens of millions, of dollars per year no matter what he does.
Microsoft Office 365 is on these for a year or students can use the free Google office apps.
Students that don't have Internet at home can go to a public library after school or on weekends or visit a McDonalds, Starbucks or other place where free Internet is available. Generally, one does not need to buy anything to use the free internet in those places. Depending on where you live and your local ISP providers (Comcast), if income is below a certain level, adequate Internet can be had for $10 per month.

The articles didn't say where this case was tried. East Texas? If so, the final appeal may change things.

Maybe the OP should move.

Perhaps Yale needs to have some Harvard alum come and show them how to properly run a web server.
Maybe someone from MIT.
Or, move to Firefox and use the mu blocker.
In the US we don't have chip and PIN. We have Chip and sign. When will credit card issuers provide required PINs?

I don't think Ireland is asking the US to adhere to Irish law in the US but the US is asking Ireland to adhere to US law in Ireland. Quite different.
