I also find your C++ code to be infinitely more readable (but maybe that's just confirmation bias). It would help if the GP example had any sort of english-language operator in it other than various bits of punctuation. "Swap" tells me what this is actually doing.
If you're taking an advanced computer science course after skipping the preceding courses, of course it's going to feel exclusionary! I made the mistake of taking a 400-level English course once and I was totally lost, too (I'm a CS major).
I wonder whether that sort of thing doesn't have something to do with male coming off as a "generic" or androgynous character gender, i.e., "if the gender isn't relevant to the story, make it male." Just an observation.
The first couple stages of the bootloader really have very little space to work with. I would think that the very first stage would just initialize the hardware and jump to the second, which for secure versions just decrypts the third-stage, maybe does some sort of verification, and jumps there. (At least that's how I would do it. And that's how they did it for the original X-Box.*) If it's supposed to be a secure system, why the hell would they leave the kernel lying around unencrypted?
I would not call it "fairly simple," however I admit I'm not familiar with the subject.
You may recall that they even had a London alien encounter in Torchwood (Children of Earth). I seem to remember the vast majority of enemies they faced in Torchwood were either solitary rogue aliens, or things that they themselves caused via the Rift. Were there any proper invasions?
Although admittedly the 4th and 9th would seem to apply in this specific circumstance, strict constructionism can obviously be taken too far as a general rule. "...are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people." is obviously a bit vague on the divisions.

Your phraseology is introducing ambiguities. Is the above correct?
The state governments would still be completely within their rights to do the same. I'm not quite so confident in your proclaimed understanding of the Constitution.
This whole argument sounds like rationalization after the fact. "Oh, of course I knew the tech would never work...I was just planning to outspend them...yeah, that was the plan all along!"
Challenge accepted. I think we've abundantly proved that just because something is a suicidally stupid idea, that doesn't mean some politician won't run towards it screaming and waving his arms, telling everyone to be patriots and follow him.
It sounds like they're entirely relying on the collector value to sell these things. Good on them, I guess, because apparently people will pay ridiculous amounts for "collector" shit.
Under the administration of President Bill Clinton in 1993, its name was changed to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and its emphasis was shifted from national missile defense to theater missile defense; and its scope from global to more regional coverage. It was never truly developed or deployed, though certain aspects of SDI research and technologies paved the way for some anti-ballistic missile systems of today.

*squints* What is this actually doing? It looks like it's circularly linking two objects. You can do that with pointers in plenty of languages.

Hey, if other people are interested in doing social apps so I don't have to, more power to them.

Another case of the theoretical versus practical definitions. Cf. communism, capitalism...
They can force you to take the class, but they can't force you to remember it. In one ear, take the exam, and out the other, and back to the coding :)
Who says he didn't think of it? He probably decided not to install them for a reason (perhaps one of the ones enumerated above).
You're making the fallacious assumption that the list of things that pisses them off is reasonable.

Sounds like as good a premise as any for a Sci Fi Original Movie(tm).
Because God knows that London is the only city alien disturbances happen in. Also, it's apparently literally the only city in the U.K.
Thanks DW! :)
When I read the headline, my brain filled in "-Day" because of everybody constantly pounding on the term "Zero Day" around here.

For the first 9, sure, however the 10th deals precisely with the difference between the federal and state government.
Ironically they stop the peaceful anti-shooting protestor while armed with machine guns.
*facepalm*
Them stretching the law as far as they can get away with does not change the original intent of the law.

All you'd need would be a well-targetted trebuchet to bombard Earth from the moon, wouldn't you? Seeing as the moon's gravity is so low.

"Star Wars" worked?

If you consider rescoping the project and completely ditching the satellites to still 'work', yeah, I guess.
Heh--I do really like that the satellite component had the acronym ERIS, though.
