Well, maybe if people stopped deciding who to vote for based on television commercials and put some actual thought into it we would get a more responsible government.
On my T-Mobile phone, a compass app and Weatherbug are the highest usage software. I removed the compass, and turn some features off on Weatherbug. I'm glad I checked.
Oh, they learn all right. I only fix what is necessary to correct a production problem. It then goes back to the programmer to figure out why it was wrong coming out of the IDE. If 2 servers are not communicating properly, I know where the code executes which does that communication. Once band-aided to work, the programmer goes back to make the permanent fix. This often means wandering through configuration panels and wizards to determine what was set to generate the problem code. Once we figure out how to fix it, we then deploy over the patch to create a proper deployment package. Again, we are learning the tool, not the code.

I have an issue with my programmers when they know how to use the tool, but don't understand what they created. I overheard one group discussing a new system, and the one stated she didn't know where the code actually ran. No one in the group did. The Integrated Development Environment hid the details. No wonder people leave gaping security holes in systems if they don't understand how they work. I have really smart people who don't understand how the application server accesses the database. They just write code, and it works. They get used to figuring out how the tool works, not how the system works. If the tool is replaced, they are lost. If required, I'll go fix it in a text editor, because I understand what it's doing. I don't need an IDE to tell me. I know what information is flowing through the system, and how it does it. That way I can prevent inappropriate data from being exposed to outside users. IDE's are very useful to speed development, but you can't base your entire knowledge of programming on how to use a tool.
Any information NOT provided to a government entity can also be used against you. What difference does it make? Unless your code is designed to hack into bank systems and steal account information, I don't see the difference it would make.
The previous time, the aircraft was hit 100km beyond the range of the missile. I would have denied it, too. No one has yet figured out how the missile flew so far and still had the power to track and intercept an aircraft.
At the time, the Moon did have an atmosphere. It was hot enough to vaporize silicon and aluminum, components of today's crust. What the paper is proposing is that the hot Earth keep the Moon hot enough to keep these elements vaporized on the Earth facing side, while the far side was cooler and the elements precipitated out. This would cause a migration of crustal components to the far side, thickening the crust. This way it was not as susceptible to puncture by falling objects.

I would hate to have to upgrade my system just to use Skype.
We are so far behind. Still using IE 8 because our systems were developed for even older versions of the browser.

Microsoft will be forced to unbundle Internet Explorer from Windows 95!
What if I like Three Musketeers better?

If your system is open source, they can just go get your code. It would still be useful if they point out your problems.
How do they forward the taxes owed to the IRS? Or is it just considered barter?

Can we force search engines to remember us? Some of us don't want to be forgotten.
And if you forget, you may not put money in that account, or even close the account. Then how does the automatic payment work?
Here is a better summary of the paper. http://news.psu.edu/story/3178...

Civil engineers are sued when they make mistakes designing a road.
It would be solar powered, of course.
Umm.. Can someone translate this into English?
Well, I guess Earth isn't a type 13 planet after all.
Some politician must have requested that they draw a unicorn on the box.
So, what is the wind chill on Venus? Would a very dense, hot atmosphere have a wind chill?
I'm in trouble if it doesn't come soon.
