What well-known dynamic scripting language should it have embedded instead?
You've got Tcl, purpose built for embedding, Jim, lightweight clone of Tcl, Python, Perl, and Ruby. All mature scripting languages that would do the job with 0-based arrays.
MS might be using it as a way to weasle around HB-1 requirements (people getting foreign subsidary experience to get around limits)
That's exactly what it is. There's no point in sugar coating it with the presumption of that they're trying to help out the little guy. This is all part of the orchestrated plan by the elites to create an oversupply of labor with foreign workers and drive wages down. Their proximity to Vancouver makes this a slam dunk for Microsoft. Why sink money into lobbying for more H1Bs when L1Bs are unlimited and NAFTA greases the bureaucratic wheels.
Hey now. Don't start giving the nutjobs any new ideas. I know who to blame the next time I see a PBS infomercial with some holistic anti-salt huckster warning of the dangers of sodium and chlorine.
and the law enforcement agencies that report to it already had this power.
The summary is wrong. The unlimited, open-ended collection powers enacted by EO12333 only apply to government employees and employees of contractors subject to background investigation for national security reasons.
What does the professor's "on-line harassment" have to do with the quality and / or value of his lectures?
MIT's enrollment is biased in favor of female applicants. They have to make a show of being tough on harassment to maintain the image of a female friendly school.
License and registration fees for taxis and limousines are based on heavy, 24 hours a day use, and cost a lot more.
No they aren't. They're based on regulatory capture to limit the amount of competition with a not to "public safety". The cost of an NYC medallion is due to artificial scarcity, not the amount of use cabs put on city streets.
What Uber is doing in these markets is illegal but the demand from consumers using their services shows the current system does not support competitive pricing.
Don't forget the big one: The quality of news articles mostly sucks. Most news publishers are failures at providing good news stories. Aggregators separate the wheat from a larger pool of chaff.
Blocking ads is a much more of a security issue more than a convenience issue.
It is also an issue of preserving bandwidth and staying within monthly data caps. The sheer amount of javascript bloat, ad images, and flash objects spewed by top 100 sites is atrocious.
It'll be interesting to see how this gets treated by the press who have a vested interest in online advertising.
They'll ignore it the same way they ignore substantial reporting on anything that upsets their master, be it the guy who pays the bills or the government rulers in charge.
Sure, I'll stop using ABP. They have to just agree to compensate me with $1M if their ad network sends me malware. Can't guarantee that? Then I'll keep on running ABP thank you very much.

Then it becomes impossible to use them as tax havens.
Hard to circumvent...
NoScript takes care of most signature methods including tests for installed fonts.
You do realize that Appalachia gets a ton of Federal aid. The official region covers a broad swath ranging from New York to the deep south.
Some listeners think that vinyl reproduces sound better than digital
It doesn't. The RIAA equalization curve guarantees that. This is just audiophools throwing money on a passion based on nothing but blind faith.

...its intentions were to improve iTunes
Then why is iTunes such a cruddy pile of shit?
Better yet. Get a Wizard. It has a nifty tip calculator.
or "Hey, why don't we just Photoshop this".

Now the next revision will have a mandatory internet connection so they can blacklist used cups.

But apparently they can't be bothered to use the remastered version with correct colors.

DosBOX running DESQview/X with a remote xterm from the bottom layer for recursive bonus points.
It's not an edge case. The repackaging of free Windows applications with malware is commonplace. CutePDF has this too and many others.

Funny how nobody in the GOP is up in arms about these "activist judges" from the FISA star chamber usurping their authority.
Gradle is a brittle POS. I hope they address its shortcomings for 1.1.
Just needs some spare change to keep getting drunk if we were to extrapolate from his ethnicity.
Already done 25 years ago on Murphy Brown: Radical new set without an anchor desk. Turned out to be prophetic.
