You're forgetting the part where insurance companies tend to be on the same side as you, at least theoretically: no person, however insured,/wants/ to be ill.
As a craftsman, you must think about your reputation and the long term as well. It's all well and good if you get to eat now because some stupidass client wants you to make a watch out of cardboard, but if the result of that is that you never get to eat again because you will permanently be known, amongst your future prospects and peers, as 'the guy who made a watch out of cardboard', then you may reconsider.
1) Smaller is/always/ better, 2) Embedded people like compilers too, and resent them for not quite doing what they advertise, or/could/ do, given some twiddling. I, for example, would think it quite cool if you could arrange for gcc to actually produce those 45 bytes of program, given the right switches but as it is now, you can't.
Nope. If I were to be living in the middle of the Auvergne, I wouldn't care about global warming; it'd make my summers a little more pleasant, that's all. As it is, I don't live there, and I do care, but it isn't as if I can't imagine the opposite position.
Nah. The money is now in electromagnetic remote sensing; reading your screen and listening to your keyboard from a mile away. That, and psy-ops. Humans still control keys. Humans always make at least one mistake. Google's mail accounts were cracked because their subjects could be coaxed to visit malicious websites, after all.
The problem is, that in his historic recount, he is correct. So there is no reason to disbelieve him when he says things about the current state of affairs.
If you're never going to be able to decrypt the data, then you might as well cat/dev/random >/dev/sda. Because it's indistinguishable from random chaos.
A lot of people here argue that somehow, people will be people, young and old, and if you're going to ruin it for them now, you'll have ruined it for them forever. A lot of this commentary is made from the preconception that the youths targeted here are of the sort that will eventually land on their feet, live in the adult world, and be responsible citizens. I would like to point out (much in contrast with my own ideas on how society ought to function) that this is Britain we're talking about. I know this is difficult to imagine for someone not from the Perfid Albion itself, but there you have it. So no, these youngsters aren't innocent, just a bit under-educated little angels otherwise full of promise - these are wilfully malevolent, purposely stupid little monsters, only good for the dole and the pub. They will not have a job that pays taxes in their lives and they will probably die from something crime-, smoke- or alcohol-related. Sure, someone let them down along the way: their parents, the government, their infrastructure, whatever, but by the time that these boys start hanging out on street-corners, it's already way to late to do anything about it. They're a lost cause, and they know it, and the people who play classical music in order to get rid of them, know it. So stop arguing like they're being treated too harshly - if you want them treated with a pussy-glove, it should have been done years, years ago. Considering the alternatives, playing classical music to them *is* treating them softly.
Or you like, yet you say you don't like, because it's just the only way to look cool to your pimple-faced, nary a shave needing, sexually frustrated, badly dressed, stinking, fourteen year old comrades.
And, with the purported positive influence such music has, it may even educate one or two, or stop a crime from being committed a bit further down the road. I can't see anything but good things to come from this.
I've had sudden acceleration - until I got my foot _underneath_ the gas pedal and fixed it. I also had the clutch-rope break on me while coming off the free-way once. I forced the stick in neutral and while selectively breaking (I wanted to land in a good, safe spot) I came to a stop. I even managed to force it in second gear after that, and drive it to a better spot still (yes, knowing how to double clutch is good).

Troll much, or just ignorant of what 'falsification' actually is ? There are many, many things you can do to falsify (aspects of) the theory of evolution.

Jim Gray, Tim Bray... hm. Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together ?
No that's the easter egg. You get into a little sub-game if you do that.

It's not just about contracts being handed back to you. You might also want to determine the direction of research, which is simpler this way.

Still can't find reverse.

Except of course, that he is a spook.

Do you know where your private key is now ? And it's protected by what ?
By the time that 2D barcodes get this huge, it's probably better to invest in proper character reading devices.

The problem is that, in order to find a solution, you must first be able to reliably reproduce the problem.
Break pedals are accelerated, though, in all modern cars. You'll notice that when you're towed.
Use perl. Because the support both in java and php for applying regexes and preparing SQL statements has been late, convoluted and lacking.
Is that street- or dealer-value ?
Build a JVM in it.

Ssshhhh. Not so loud. I don't think that the marketing troll that invented this topic wanted to hear that.
Hint: think black turtle neck.
Now that's better.
