If it's secret, then how can you know it doesn't exist? =)
But seriously, I can't imagine that they would spend billions on this airplane, with all its missile countermeasures and million-dollar tables and all that, and not include a weapons cache "just in case". Considering the military bent of our government, it would seem counter to its nature.
Remember, we are talking about people who have NEVER programmed before. And teaching them how to do it.
I believe it is easier for someone to first understand how to program with functions, and then, after they are comfortable, to put these functions into a greater "whole", as part of an object.
It really is all about building upon the fundamentals. Functional programming is a fundamental. OOP is building upon that knowledge.
Talking to a person that is not present requires more concentration as you lose out on all the visual clues that are absorbed during a discussion.
I dunno about you, but when I am driving, and someone is in the passenger seat talking, I look at the road and not at them. Thus, no visual clues from the passenger are absorbed.
Phone number portability, dude - you can keep your number forever.
But of course, this wasn't available for mobile phones in the US ten years ago. Then again, most people didn't have a cellphone in the US ten years ago...
there are still folks that work and/or live at the same place for a long time. Rarer, sure, but they are still around
Homeowners tend to stay in the same place for ten years, in my experience... not that rare. I think everyone here is trying to compare their own situations (young job-hopping technology workers with no house), which makes it harder for them to reconcile this story with their sense of reality.
That being said, you should add: 4. Their system for tracking tickets would have to not have changed in the past 10 years.
This is not all that unlikely. It is most likely the same software, which has been upgraded over time, thus retaining the same data. Even if they changed software completely, they would still have to migrate their old data over, or they would lose all pending support calls / situations.
I once attempted to buy a twelve-pack at a gas station in Rochester, NY. At the time, my license had a magnetic strip and not a barcode (I do not live in New York), and they wouldn't sell the beer to me because they couldn't scan it with their reader. Luckily, I was with a friend who had a NY license.
Well, if the false information that comes from your barcode, and is displayed on their screen, doesn't match the information printed on the front of your license, the bartender might become suspicious. Best case, they don't serve you. Worst case, they call the cops.

I believe it was a joke, my friend, because "did not do enough" and "did too little" mean exactly the same thing.

It's just my opinion, though =)
all that assumes you actually bothered to get [car] insurance - which you might not have done, since there aren't any laws forcing you to
Huh? Where do YOU live? It is illegal to drive without car insurance.
So I bought a copy of guitar hero WT with just the guitar, swapped out mine for the new one, then returned it.
Congratulations! You have committed fraud.
Will do! Let me just ask The Amazing Kreskin for your identity!
And let's not forget "there is words".
*cries* You have ruined my life!
You HONESTLY think that is a "great put down"? A seahorse shits things more clever than that.
WOMEN? I hate women!
Go visit an AA session sometime
Cool, I'll see you there.
my boss would give me the sack
Isn't that sexual abuse in the workplace? You could sue him for quite a pretty penny.
Any such broad classifications such as this should be taken with a *lot* of salt.
Pun intended? (I hope!)

I guess if they had some counter thrust at the exact time they fired they wouldn't fly away
;-)
Well, you just invalidated the rest of your own post
many Americans were not aware of it until the 70's and the publication of the book "The Crystal Palace"
The book was actually The Puzzle Palace .

But seriously...where do they do this

You need to re-read, sir.
Um, the law?
That would work on manned tanks, too. I don't think it's been a problem so far.
I can suck to be an altar boy
Too much info! Too much info!
