They lied about the drone flying at and following the helicopter. It was, in fact the helicopter that flew recklessly at the drone. IOW, the NYPD falsified their report in order to make an arrest.
It sounds like a high tech version of 'The suspect repeatedly struck my fist with his face'.
Agreed, which is why I get really annoyed with Python bigots. My main exposures to python have been trash piles like Anaconda and cowboy crap that is seven layers of libraries to implement and process check that has such poor syntax that it can't even fail, no matter how screwed the process.
I've seen incomprehensible junk written in tcl, bash, java, javascript, c, c++, visual basic, fortran, cobol, basic and assembler, most often written by "experienced" coders who think comments and structure are anathema and risky to their job security.
Give me "unsophisticated" and/or heavily commented code, thank you.
Personally I can write legible perl, but with vbscript you have the choice of putting 'on error resume next' at the beginning and hoping for the best, or a crapload of error handling code for every function turning a fairly simple program into a steaming pile of spaghetti with shitballs. I am sooooo thankful that Powershell against all odds happened to escape from Microsoft Labs (AKA Where Good Ideas Go To Die) giving us a proper native scripting environment for Windows.
The principle reason to put 2560x1440 pixels on a phone is to further the embarrassment of monitor manufacturers who can only manage to get 1/4 of the pixels into a 19" screen.
It seems that for a long time (say, up to 90s or 00s) it was believed that Gates said that 640KB thing. Then people did some research and didn't find any solid evidence of him saying that. So for some years people were reminded that "Gates never actually said that". But during the recent 5 years or so, talks about it being true after all have been coming back. I personally haven't followed the research much to know what's the current opinion. Hmm.
At the time he is alleged to have made that statement, most versions of the then-dominant desktop OS, CP/M, were limited to a maximum of 64 KB. Weather or not he actually made that statement, at the time it would have been true.
How about something that can read an IR sensor such that:
1. approach woman at bar, place phone on bar next to drink
2. phone takes baseline body temps of said woman
3. chat with woman for 5 minutes
4. phone takes update body temps to see where the blood is flowing
5. pick up phone and get 1 to 10 scale on how "excited" the woman was with me
could work on men too just have to look for different "hot spots"
If you think that there isn't a file somewhere in the depths of the Manned Flight Operations Manual (or whatever idiot acronym that NASA gives it) detailing exactly what you are supposed to do with a dead body, you're crazy.
They've thought of things you haven't thought of to think of.
Death is a pretty obvious one.
Ground Control to Major Tom,
Your circuit's dead. Is something wrong?

Perl 6 is about love, care, tolerance and friendship.
Well, it clearly isn't about deadlines!
Perl 6 is the language of the future and always will be!
I would say it's the Duke Nukem Forever of languages but DNF actually shipped.
(too bad though, Although I haven't coded in it for nearly a decade I've always liked Perl, at least once I was able to wrap my brain around regular expressions.)

Not dead. Sold.
They aren't mutually exclusive.
But with the usual mess in government records, quite a number of dead souls.
The dead are often a pivotal election demographic.
A dead soul is a prerequisite for becoming a politician.

Hack in what way? Bypass security? Make it do something cool that it wasn't originally designed to do? Or do you just need to chop it up with an ax?
Too bad most phones no longer have micro-SD slots.
One does not simply cd into /mordor
Yes, I think lasers are a necessary component.
Only where sharks are involved.
Sounds cool until they show up and kill -9 your ass.
Albert is an Angel now.

You can write illegible programs in any language, perl must makes it easier.
Or a woolly mammoth, a sloth, and a saber toothed tiger.

Monitor manufacturers like, LG?

It's called Autoconfig
Or, alternately, 'Plug and P[l|r]ay'.

Easy, when started just print "1".
We can drop nukes in tornadoes too for much less, not that I'm advocating that either.
But we should probably keep this in mind in case of Sharknado.
However once you combine incompetence with malice, then you have a solid foundation to create a government department.
No, you need a huge budget and lack of oversight as well.

I wonder what would happen if someone took this concept and reversed it, what would currently used code sound like?
I suspect that some of my code would sound like Death Metal.
Or just build your own app store. I wouldn't expecet anything else from Microkia.

"While supplies last." That's the funniest thing I've heard all day.
It would be hard to make a programming language slower than Java, even if you tried.
Actually, the problem with Java isn't as much that the language itself is slow but that most of the GUI frameworks (particularly older ones) are slow.
C# is typically slightly slower than Java so....
Citation please? In my experience C# is somewhat slower than native code but much faster than Java.
