Dupont Circle is a traffic circle which isn't quite the same as a roundabout. Roundabounts have different design specifications: smaller, not usually more than four connecting paths. This makes them easier to negotiate when placed in locations where volume isn't too high to lock out less trafficked lanes. In places where more roads need to meet you'll sometimes see double roundabouts to handle the connectivity while maintaining the advantage of better sight lines from the smaller radius.
NY State law only requires non-motor vehicles to be as far to the right "as practicable" and has explicit provisions preventing smaller jurisdictions from restricting the freedoms of bicyclists. These segregated bike lanes are a recipe for getting plowed over by unobservant turning drivers and it isn't unusual for "practicable" to mean riding on the left side of the lane proper.
There are no legal issues with an end user altering the presentation of what they receive to suit their needs. It's not like you're under contract to download all of the cross-site scripts today's hipster web developers burden their creations with. Injecting some Greasemonkey Javascript or blocking malicious code can be interpreted as a derivative work but there is no further distribution to other parties to make the case of damages through copyright infringement. This is commonly done with screen readers and other non-traditional browsers that need to simplify the content. Having a middle man do that without consent by either sender or receiver is another thing entirely.
It would be unfortunate if PC backfires and results in releasing the bad guys it was intended to catch.
Parallel Construction doesn't catch criminals. It hides criminal activity by the government. It is an institutionalized form of lying which isn't acceptable in our court system.
Disney isn't in the dance club DJ business so despite the similarity in trademarks there is no direct competition between them that could cause market confusion. Deadmau5 doesn't get airtime on mainstream radio so Radio Disney doesn't count either.
In the US to some degree yes. When these kids go back to China or Korea, the degree from a "name" school will open doors that would otherwise be closed. The actual content of the coursework is irrelevant.
I would say it's more of a quirk in both Java and Javascript because they eschew operator overloading in the name of some notion of academic purity and then they go and implement special semantics for the '+' operator that you can't replicate with a user defined type. Same with C++'s abuse of literal 0 before the advent of nullptr.
I didn't see any of that thanks to NoScript. Just a partially rendered layout with no content. If Devs can't get their shit together to make a web site usable without Javascript I move on and find something else to do.
This is pretty bad. I designed a controller for some mechanical actuators on a satellite once and the design was filled with carefully designed interlocks and watchdog logic that would prevent an unintentional deployment in the event of multiple failures. It's astonishing that this could get installed on the ISS without a similarly rigorous design.
They see the writing on the wall and want to avoid classification as trolls in case anti-troll legislation gets passed in the future. Doing the bare minimum to utilize a small part of their portfolio is just a minor cost to keep their racket running.
That equipment was all sold as part of the massive jobs program that the MIC has turned into. Nobody wants to make credible deep cuts in military spending because of the massive unemployment it would generate (and Representatives of affected districts would loose in their next election) so we look for markets to ply with our war materiel. It works out great if you can create new markets for these goods.
Losing control of some weapons to the current enemy of the day only ensures a need for more production to counteract the threat they represent. That's good for business. This is the mindset of the American oligarchs who run the country and pull the strings on their elected puppets. You can almost view our dalliances in the Middle East as a way to guarantee a future revenue steam by purposely inciting instability.
The OBD-II readers aren't a safety threat. They only monitor sensor readings and special modes for updating ECUs cannot be accessed when a vehicle is moving or by general purpose diagnostic devices which these readers present themselves as. Airbag systems are implemented on a completely separate network using a special low-latency protocol.
If you haven't applied searched for a job recently you have no idea how bad it is with the idiot recruiters and HR staff rejecting your application because you only match 90% of their keywords even with a degree. You are treated like a static entity with no ability to learn new skills on the job. To them, no degree is an instant trip to the reject bin.
Heavy on theory, short on practice model that university CS was built upon, out of necessity. And they've kind of stuck with it, because universities are slow to change such things.
They've stuck with it because college isn't supposed to be about vocational training.
Most of the passwords on the list are Capitalized dictionary word + digit. It's trivial to brute force or prepare a rainbow table that targets that scheme.
Having hundreds of different (auto-generated) passwords means you're screwed if you don't have access to the manager or the database is lost. Backing it up to "the cloud" means you're only a key logger away from being completely compromised. Passwords that stay in your head can't be stolen.

Ask them to implement a DSP algorithm in COBOL. I'm sure you'll get some tantrums from that.

The northeastern US doesn't have a water shortage that's why.

without even more custom software to handle random diagonals.
Because we shouldn't trust robots to do basic geometry on their own.

That's how Purdue works. Somebody's got to pay for the custom branded hand dryers and other pointless luxuries.

That and the global scope to variables is why I won't use Lua. Shame, It's a good language other than those warts.

Apple has a track record of poor battery life so we can expect the iWatch to only last for 8 hours between charges.

I wouldn't consider 25Mbps essential. 5Mbps at a decent price would satisfy most users. Even that is almost impossible to come by anywhere in the US.

Get a 48GX. It's basically the same as the SX but notably faster.
At least one of those celebrities was underage. He's worried about more than civil suits.

Look at the top 500 RockYou password list that pass the Apple filter:
#1 Password1
#2 Princess1
Most of the passwords on the list are Capitalized dictionary word + digit. It's trivial to brute force or prepare a rainbow table that targets that scheme.
