Number of humans that have been to the moon : 12 Number of humans that have been as far as the moon 24 (Including the 12 above) Number that have been out of near earth orbit in the last 40 years : 0
In 1970 we were landing on the moon, could travel as a regular commercial passenger at Mach 2, had a plane that cruised for long distances at Mach 3+ (Although we did not know it at the time), and now we don't....
Forget Mars we can't even get to the moon anymore...
1GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes of Hard Disk - but software normally uses GiB so displays as 0.931 (But shows in GB) 1GiB = 1,073,741,824 Bytes of Memory - Software displays as 1.0 (GB)
The classic case is the 1.44MB 3.5" HD floppy disk... They were Technically 2MB capacity, were 1440 KiB (1474560 Bytes) formatted which is 1.40625 MiB (which is 1.47456MB) but was marketed as 1.44MB (1000 * 1024)!
That will be something like the Radio service I get on my Android, or something similar to the live streaming of broadcast audio I can also get on the same device...
Don't use ASL it is unlike English specific to USA/Canada and West Africa is not mutually intelligible with most other sign languages and is largely unknown outside the Deaf community
There is no deaf sign language that is reasonably universal like English is in spoken languages so using ASL as a base will alienate many of your potential users...
The biggest issue is "Gorilla Arm" if you are making a lot of small precise gestures with arms out you get tied extremely quickly, which is why most sign languages avoid this, but most mockups of gesture systems show exactly this type of gesture
If you mean the finger then it is not as widely used or recognised outside the USA......many gestures are very localised and do not travel very well to new cultures
Thanks to them closing the "LaMacchia Loophole" you can now be charged with theft and wire fraud for downloading copyright material even if you never had any intention or likelihood of making money from it...
So now doing something that could *potentially* make you large amounts of money from (but in reality could not) is prosecuted as if you were a crime boss with vast assets from your criminal activity even though you are in reality a poor student....
So you are for prosecuting the gun owner in this case for not stopping her son who was never diagnosed with any mental illness and had no criminal record...and could have legally bought the gun himself...
Does it ban the gun used - No Was the shooter diagnosed with mental illness - No
So after this legislation someone exactly the same as the shooter could still obtain the same gun in the same way, or buy it themselves so how exactly is this stopping this happening again?
Flu vaccinations have repeatedly been shown to be harmless and potentially beneficial, even if they have no particular benefit to nurses above the normal benefits to the general population then it is simply that they are mandated by the employer who knows that during the flu season nurses will be especially in demand and they cannot afford to have too many off sick with flu...
If your job requires you to come in contact with flu patients, then you are more likely to get flu, so are more likely to be off work when needed, and more likely to transmit flu to vulnerable patients (since you have it where the immunised do not)
This is irrespective of whether the flu jab has any effect on transmission of flu by non-infected people...
If the only reason not to get a flu jab is 'religious reasons' then you simply should not be doing the job....how many other parts of your religion also conflict with your job as a nurse, (do you refuse to treat people on religious grounds?)
C is very low level, very general, and very very portable, so it is almost always the first thing on any new system as it allows you to then implement many other systems
Most languages allow you to bootstrap via C because of this, and it can be assumed that there is a C compiler for almost any system so it is used as the base of many systems, or to extend many systems...
The words Bootstrapping compiler spring to mind...
The GCC compiler was written in C, and is now being used to rewrite the GCC compiler in C++ and the C-GCC compiler will be used to compile it initially
LLVM was compiled using a C based compiler then LLVM used to compile itself...
Almost all compilers were originally assembler, then C, then bootstrapped themselves...GCC is unusual in that it (until recently) still compiled via C...
C is not a good language, but it is not a bad language, is very general, is very simple to implement on a new system, is very small (for the basic language), and brings huge amounts of code with it if you do...so it is implemented on most systems
C has multiple standards, not everything is implemented everywhere...
C has issues mainly because it is a very old language, this is what C++, Java, C# and many others were designed to address to varying levels of success...
There are a large number of other languages widely used and widely ported that are by many definitions better than C, but they are either domain specific, propitiatory, or not well known outside specific industries....
..What is the C++ compiler written in... probably C
what is C++ compiled via in this compiler, probably C
i.e. C is very low level and can express any programming construct, but it might be simpler to express in C++
C++ cannot be more efficient when compiled (unless you just have a better compiler) since it is just machine code
There may be libraries for C++ that are better, more efficient, and do not currently exist for C, but this just means that they have not been written for C not that they cannot be (it may be very difficult to, or it may be pointless to implement, because it directly uses features that only exist in C++)
It's all a trick due to the weirdness of quantum states trying to be defined in classical terms
They change the quantum state of atoms with almost no energy, to a higher energy state and keep them there using less energy than the change in state... so in classical terms the energy had to come from somewhere and so the average temperature must have gone down.... but the missing energy is not really missing and the real temperature is still positive...
Now take the four pieces of paper on your desk, overlap them and look at them through a rectangular mask that stops you looking at the rest of your desk...
Paper still has it's uses, they are much much less than they were, and paper is still overused but it is not dead...
In the same way that Radio is not dead because of TV, there is a place for paper that vast amounts of very expensive technology can replace most of but not all...

True Giga is 1000 based, So is Mega, Kilo etc ...
km = 1000 Meters
kV = 1000 Volts
kB = 1000 bytes of hard disk space
kb/s = Transmission speed of 1000 bits per second
*Only* in Software is 1k = 1024
the Real GB = 1,000,000,000 Bytes the Marketing GB is a GiB and is 1,073,741,824 bytes
Marketeers are at fault on both sides

Really, are you sure ...
What if they object and get to use their "real" name as printed on a visa
Commonly these can include people with only one name, people who always put their family name first ,...
That is because this happens still but it is old news and so is not reported anymore....

One of the original signatories of the convention of the Metre in 1875 was the USA ...
The US Customary units in everyday use are defined in terms of metric base units
US Dollars were one of the first decimal currencies
Most of the products you buy are manufactured in Metric and sold in metric but labelled with both metric and US Customary units ...
The US military and US scientists use metric almost exclusively, and many businesses use metric so they can deal internationally
It's not a case of when you go metric, it's just when are you going to finish....
