There are only a handful of space qualified microprocessors available. Most of them were designed 20+ years ago. In fact this is the case for most space qualified ICs of all types. Nothing that goes into space with the expectation of high reliability uses modern high speed circuitry because smaller features result in greater error rates and a shorter operational lifetime due to radiation effects. It is also cost prohibitive to develop a modern fab line to manufacture space grade parts so the industry is mostly stuck in the past using older designs largely due to reliability requirements.
The Java set despairs that they can't play in their perfect abstraction of a machine without gobs of memory and CPU cycles to blow away. People who know how to program bare metal can get by perfectly fine on a "slow" memory constrained device.
The birthday paradox depends on days being measured modulo 365. There is a finite bound on the birthdays available. That doesn't extend to planetary distances in three dimensional space over the span of the universe.
Rochester NY once had a sex shop owner murdered in his store that was only a few hundred feet from a police station. The city's solution? Shut down the station. Proximity to the police isn't always a guarantee of safety.
The biggest problem is that kids get a lot of their preconceptions from their peers. You can't do anything about the unenlightened parents who love Toddlers in Tiaras and want to pink up everything in their princess' life. They have an indirect influence on your own kids and they outnumber you.
I've seen a few "open source" projects where the open code is out of date and nothing like what is shipped in the current binaries. That's a pretty scummy way to abuse the label.
Because Google has clamped down on Wikipedia clones that add no value. I'd rather not go back to those days of search results polluted by a half dozen ad farms with the same articles from the Wikipedia database.
In the US the software may end up being free but the hardware to run it will be $10K+ because this is part of a medical device and we have bureaucratic ticks to check off for "safety".
These are for doing group shots without leaving the camera-person out. Not such a bad idea for times when you can't find someone else to operate the camera.
(Side note: spellcheck suggestions for cameraperson; "camera person", "camera-person", "camerawomen". Have a penis? No camera for you.)
Nowadays we have this thing called an internet. Most people can afford it and it contains a wealth of free information any young person can use to teach themselves new skills.
It's the same as how affirmative action is supposedly for all minorities but in reality is just about perks for blacks. Any other minorities need not apply.
The superficial veil paints a picture of blissful equality. Nobody could possibly be against equality right? Then behind the scenes money is strategically steered to favor one group over another because that's how to achieve equality.
It's not the only option. There are plenty of decent non-contract phones available in the US. They can be easily activated for use with the big 2 GSM providers and many others. The CDMA providers still have a walled garden, though. The GP is just unwilling to pay full price for a new phone up front.

Of course it's your fault for agreeing to the schedule.
Yeah. Wouldn't want to be bothered being an involved parent.
We are a violent species that wastes a ton of resources on fighting each other. Other life may go about its business much more productively.
Propose a solution that lets them recover employee data after they leave the company.

and my ISP's email
Really fucking stupid, that.
The new Android 5 Gmail app also does IMAP, POP, and Exchange so those don't differentiate it from Inbox.
We're still waiting for the Unicode support that was already implemented in slashdot.jp years ago.
The christian propaganda everywhere is part of why Perl has been abandoned.

Around here the schools compete to have the most badass video sign out front. Teachers get laid off due the diversion of funds.

It is just a default. You can still switch the search provider easier than in any other browser.
You didn't know this when you bought the iPod? Stop being an Apple fanboy and do some basic consumer research before picking up the next iWant.

On the bright side it's nice to have the reassurance that dumb people aren't exclusive to the US.

It's also worth pointing out that those fertile fields growing our crops used to be covered with wild vegetation doing the exact same thing.
Not if the Disney princesses have all graduated from the Barbie school of management.
