Walking you to the door is not necessarily firing you. I used to work for a company where where, above a certain promotion level, employees were supposed to give three months notice. However, because they were frequently in sensitive positions, they were often walked to the door the minute they handed in their letter of resignation, but they always got their last three months of pay.
Which is peculiar because the 6502 should have not nearly as many as 40k transistors.
That's explained by the fact that it is not a 6502. The processor architecture is his own 16 bit design. This is a really impressive achievement. He designed the processor architecture from scratch, wrote an assembler and simulator and then built the thing out of (mostly) discrete transistors.
There are a surprising number of schools here in the UK where the children are expected to own an iPad. Apple offers heavy discounts for educational use and easy payment terms.
Click to focus is absolutely the right thing to do. I once had to use a Unix desk top environment that gave focus to whichever window the mouse pointer was over. It was a disaster: I would be typing an email, find the mouse pointer was in the way, move it, continue typing and find my my email in a source code editor.
It's got the same CLI - bash, also available out of the box: csh, ksh, tcsh, zsh
Yes, many of the programs you can run from the CLI are the BSD variants, but you can usually get the Gnu versions by downloading and compiling the source - or by using Mac Ports or Homebrew.
The Leave campaign consists entirely of lies. The Remain campaign has some good arguments, but that is apparently not good enough, they have to have lies too.
The latest Leave meme is that we will not be safe in our beds because the EU won't let us deport foreign convicted criminals. They fail to mention
a) that is false
b) the majority of crime in Britain is committed by British people
c) deporting criminals just dumps the problem on somebody else. Raped and murdered French people are not somehow worth less than raped and murdered British people.
d) if we leave the EU, we'll have to take back all the British criminals that foreign countries are trying to get rid of but can't because of this mythical EU regulation.
I've seen the process they use to build web services at first hand and it is unbelievably inefficient. It might be $8.2 billion cheaper than designing applications for mobile devices, but nobody ever asked for mobile apps.
You don't find that they go home a bit earlier because they only had a 20 minute lunch break? Or are a bit more jaded in the afternoon because they only had a 20 minute lunch break?
Our company is involved in a project where the 260 char limit is a big problem. The git repository is essentially a copy of a portion of a Java content repository with quite a deep structure. If you tried to clone it into your documents directory on Windows, the 260 character limit was guaranteed to be hit unless your login name was something like "Bob".
Whilst paths could theoretically be any length on UFS, there was (actually still is) a #define called PATH_MAX which practically every programmer used to allocate buffers to hold paths. According to Posix, the absolute largest this define can be is 256 (fortunately, Linux ignores this and goes for 4096).
I bet there is a lot of Unix code out there that breaks, possibly in subtle ways when paths exceed PATH_MAX characters.
the ampersand *is* the specific declaration that you want the process to be active post logout, otherwise it does not survive the termination of the login session.
No it isn't. The ampersand means "run this asynchronously". In fact, specifically, it tells the shell not to issue the wait() system call on the child it has just created. When the login session is exited, all still running children receive the hangup signal, which will normally terminate them. This is standard Unix behaviour and has been since I first started using it, 30 years ago.
Prefixing the command with "nohup" stops the child process form receiving hangup signals which has the effect of allowing the child to survive beyond the end of the session. This is the way it's always been done and any program that alters that behaviour is broken and needs fixing.
Yes, well your problem there is that you worked for a bunch of cunts.
No sane boss would pick the person who was 20 minutes from home over the one who was actually at home barbecuing to do the emergency work. If nothing else, it's an extra 20 minutes and that might mean the difference between "customer says we saved the day" and "customer just fired us".
Your bos was a fuckwit. Fortunately, most employers aren't that bad,

This was in the UK, elsewhere YMMV
I have Avast! installed on my Mac and it is not overly obtrusive. Occasionally it asks me to upgrade to the paid product, but that is about it.
So is Avast! But they apparently have $1.3 billion to pay for their rival.
Autopilot only works in situations where driving is relatively straight forward e.g. on motorways/freeways.

End of discussion. There's nothing more to it than these are the stories Roddenberry and Lucas chose to write.
What about the air con in hot climates?
Doesn't have to be a grammatical or spelling error, it could be any kind of error.
It's an iPad app.

Apple never did stop including such a language. Python is bundled with the OS.

Terminal already has tabs.
Yes, if only Apple had announced a new file system.

Nobody has ever left the EU. We don't know if we'll be allowed to leave peacefully.

If we leave the EU, there will be plenty to be afraid about.
Yes, it's bullshit.

Last release broke for loops,
No it didn't, it deprecated C style for loops but they still compiled with a warning. It's this release that breaks them - but only the C style ones.

That's actually funny.

How does the government pay for your healthcare, children's education, law enforcement and defence if it doesn't collect taxes?
