Yes, God says that parents should have absolute rights over the lives of their children - it's right there in Deuteronomy or Leviticus or something. I mean, absolute rights over their lives *after* they're born, of course. Before that, if they die it's murder...
I'm perplexed - with a low id# like 122034 I'd imagine you must be old enough to have been around when Java was still new. The JVM was developed in 1991, before Mosaic, and long before the notion of applets. The goal was portability across a wide range of hardware platforms. Had nothing to do with browsers.
EVERYONE who works in tech has been damaged by this conspiracy. I don't work at Google or Apple, but my compensation is very much influenced by what my employer believes I could reasonably expect to earn if I went to Google.
From the signup page: "All fields are required unless they're marked optional. Don't enter any letters with special characters, like accents, tildes, etc."
A big reason why estimates tend to be low is that when you make your best estimate, then you add 100% buffer for "all the little problems", your management insists that you must be goldbricking and surely that's not a reasonable estimate. So you learn to make your estimates "what you think your management will accept without busting your balls over", and then about half the time they're too low.
No, the designers of HTTP were dumb - they totally ignored the state of the art of distributed applications design, and set the Internet back by at least a decade. In their defence, they really were trying to solve a dumb problem, and people abused it to do things it was never meant to do. It was meant to deliver mainly static content, not to be a glorified terminal service for remote applications, but that's what it's become.
You need to do a little more research on that claim. Roads are paid for partly by use taxes, but mostly from the general fund, which is personal and corporate income taxes.
Algol -> Cambridge Programming Language (CPL) -> Basic CPL -> B -> C
I think I recall Dennis Ritchie mentioning that the first C compiler was written in B (before rewriting it in C) but perhaps he said the language was based on B but the compiler was written in BCPL. There must be something written down on the interwebs about this.
Rather than a "non-interference" decree, we should be broadcasting MAYDAY in all directions. Odds are disturbingly high that within the 1000 years it would take for such a message to reach an space-faring civilization, and for that civilization to in turn visit us, the human race will have managed to permanently trap itself in Earth's gravity well by destroying its industrial infrastructure, irradiating the majority of the food supply, and/or salinating its most productive croplands. Not 100%, but say... 40%.
There are some kinds of Dark Ages that you don't build your way back out of. Our industrial capacity is currently built on MILLENIA of stored energy reserves left over from the Big Bang and prehistory. If we had only solar energy to rely on, we'd have a pathetically feeble spacefaring ability.
No systems should be networked until they are properly configured. If somebody hands you a crap infrastructure full of holes, the first thing to do is shut down as much internetworking as you possibly can get away with.
This study has been performed a million times over. Get yourself some bisexual friends and see what they say. Ask some bisexual men and some bisexual women whether they think its easier to figure out men or women. I already know what they'll say...
According to the product specifications available from Luxim, the actual operating temperature of the surface of the light bulb must be actively cooled to below 850C, and it is recommended that the temperature remain above 650C.
There must be two dozen posts here already blathering about 6000K and nobody bothered to go read the company's official documentation? Here's their website, here are a whole bunch of specs and videos, now go read something before speculating.
(c)(1)(i). Subject to paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of this section, a person's purchase or sale is not "on the basis of" material nonpublic information if the person making the purchase or sale demonstrates that:
A. Before becoming aware of the information, the person had:
1. Entered into a binding contract to purchase or sell the security,
2. Instructed another person to purchase or sell the security for the instructing person's account, or
3. Adopted a written plan for trading securities;
B. The contract, instruction, or plan described in paragraph (c)(1)(i)(A) of this Section:
1. Specified the amount of securities to be purchased or sold and the price at which and the date on which the securities were to be purchased or sold;
2. Included a written formula or algorithm, or computer program, for determining the amount of securities to be purchased or sold and the price at which and the date on which the securities were to be purchased or sold; or
3. Did not permit the person to exercise any subsequent influence over how, when, or whether to effect purchases or sales; provided, in addition, that any other person who, pursuant to the contract, instruction, or plan, did exercise such influence must not have been aware of the material nonpublic information when doing so; and
C. The purchase or sale that occurred was pursuant to the contract, instruction, or plan. A purchase or sale is not "pursuant to a contract, instruction, or plan" if, among other things, the person who entered into the contract, instruction, or plan altered or deviated from the contract, instruction, or plan to purchase or sell securities (whether by changing the amount, price, or timing of the purchase or sale), or entered into or altered a corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to those securities.
I am fairly certain that as originally drafted, the list of items in (c)(1)(i)(B) was ordered differently. The list should reverse the ordering, otherwise it really makes no sense. I'd like to see the source control revision logs on this law and see who originally reversed these.
Every year, more and more music is produced and recorded. It doesn't decay, tarnish or fade. As our economy becomes increasingly globalized, I have ever-easier access to the music product of millions of different producers from a significant dimension in time. We have a glut of music.
On the other hand, the demand for music is mostly static. Lately, it may have increased as technology and economic changes have made digital music players available to more people for longer durations but in general, listeners eventually die and they get created at a rate which is no higher than the rate at which new music gets created.
If you have a commodity whose supply increases at a rate higher than its demand, the price inevitably must decline to almost zero.
Since the demand for additional music can hardly be increased artificially, it is obvious that the RIAA and ilk must needs find a way to artificially reduce the supply of old music. Of course, that sounds insane to us now, but 30 years ago it sounded insane that the police would be allowed to stop motorists to see if they were wearing seat belts, and then search their gloveboxes for roach clips.
I can't remember the last time I saw an SLA that had any kind of meaningful penalty clauses in it. The best thing you can get is a rebate on your fees, but nothing that can come close to compensating you for lost revenues.
Given the huge disparity between my risk and the tiny insurance that the common SLAs provide, I just don't care about those SLAs at all.
I wish I could find a provider who was willing to put some real skin in the game, but alas I am sure I couldn't get my PHB's to accept the necessarily higher rates that provider would have to charge.

People may challenge you on this - refer them to CLU.

Still stuck in the 1980s.

Wait a sec. "All books must support the curriculum?" Good heavens, we wouldn't want the kids reading for FUN.

IIRC, the first C compiler was written in... B.
Just what I want when I'm pinned down by sniper fire. How about some lemon-scented napkins?
Reciting pi backwards gets easier and easier as you go on, but getting started is a bitch.

So, if you're messing about building a dirty bomb, you should get a "doctor" to write you a note in case you're pulled over.

That was Ken Thompson.

Yeah, but Clinton can speak in sentences.
If the lane to the right of you is that empty, you should be there.
