Are you allowed to code them to be aware of jury nullification?
That causes a jury nullification pointer exception in which the robot recommends the death penalty for all crimes, whether the defendant has been found innocent or guilty.
What are 'most public theaters' like where you live? I saw the trailer in a local theater and the deep rumbles made me shake in my seat. Can you do that at home?
The only reason a light saber is useful in the Star Wars universe is that you can block blaster fire with it but presumably only force users have the reflexes and senses to do that.
And only when they are being shot at by one person at a time, from one direction, with a low-power hand-held blaster. Change any of those variables and suddenly a light saber is useless.
Actually, search engines could start using it right now. The HTML they'd serve as the HTTP entity would say something like "I'd show you this page but some silly government requires it to be blocked because of a suspect bit of legal reasoning."
If they really had a conscience, they'd serve the error code along with the actual blocked content, and let the user-agent simply decline to show it.
Hmmm, what if somebody made an online searchable database and seeded it with fake plates and location info. That would suddenly throw into doubt all the "real" info out there.
Who is going to hire someone out of prison with a record as a programmer. It is tough to get hired as a gardener with a record.
"We don't mind that you're an ex-con, but the fact that you're a trained programmer makes you completely unqualified for this gardening job. Have a nice day."
It's not just about security though. Outsourcing does not give you workers who care about your company. Their transients, a few bugs won't bother them. A security hole isn't worth patching. Billable hours is the only thing that will matter.
Wrong. I'm a freelancer, and I care tremendously about my clients. Any bugs in my code reflect poorly on me. Hell, bugs in any software originally written by somebody else reflect poorly on me, since I am now somewhat responsible for maintaining that code. I am always conscious about providing my clients value for their money (i.e. per billable hour). If they decide they are not getting good value, they can drop me faster than they can drop a full-time employee.
That could just mean they were better at forecasting back then. If the estimate for the Hoover Dam had been botched, the actual cost would have been considered an overrun.
And yet these corporations are still happily ponying up money for bug-ridden Windows. If these companies were as serious about demanding OSS bug fixes as they are about Windows bug fixes, Windows would be bug-free by now.
...have made headlines this year, which means the public is thinking about...
The media decides what to write about, and therefore what the public will think about. The public doesn't say, "Hey, media, I heard VW did something bad, would you please write about it?"

The millimeter wave machines put out less radiation than the airport's radar, does the radar concern you?
Nobody gets closer to the radar than, say, 1/4 mile. I'd be concerned if I was forced to walk directly in front of the radar, even at lower doses.

Yes: Taco Bell burrito.
The message was that while participation was voluntary, there would be consequences for failing to comply.
If there are consequences, I'm pretty sure that's the opposite of voluntary.
You don't have to believe in God. You'll just burn in Hell if you don't.

Bottles of Canadian Air, at the bargain price of $10 a bottle.
So, instead of H2O it's made of H1.46O?
You know it's bad when you have a suggestion for deletion of a freedom and it gets condemned by Dick Cheney!
Yeah, there's no need to delete Muslims' freedom when you can just bomb them where they live.
Thanks for filling up all my remaining hard drive space, Microsoft.

Yes it's probably your friend or neighbor, nobody cares about your IP address anymore.
And doxers
No, happy accident. Kind of like how the old government buildings will protect their inhabitants from the radiation due to all of the lead paint.
If that doesn't work, they can crawl inside the cafeteria fridge.
Where I work the CIO spends no time at all on IT Security.
Makes sense. That's why there is the CISO. .. Or is there?
I first read that as "CISCO". And it made perfect sense.

A Roomba could be programmed to know exactly how to treat the ice for maximum performance.

Oh, are you so wrong. I use my penis as a third hand, effectively typing faster than any girl could.
Interesting that the de facto gaming interface was a joystick, not a joyhole.
We should call them what they are, "Christian extremists" not "far-right-wing Christian".
Virtually all religion is extremism: to believe in a supernatural deity without any evidence is to practice extreme self-delusion.
they have already killed an american overseas with a drone without due process. this seems tame in comparison.
The police kill more US citizens before 9 am than overseas agents do all day.

Quit a feat, as he died in 1942
