Same here (4 generations and likely to rise), and US public schools are a major problem. Private schools might work, particularly one that are properly streamed, tutoring almost certainly will.
Famed sci-fi author Nigel Kneale wrote a screenplay about reality TV back in 1968. Yes, it is available to watch. I won't say Fox is the only guilty party - all broadcasters are guilty, even the Cartoon Channel and that should be logically impossible - but that doesn't mean it's any less stupid.
Maybe not - the language WAS invented by psychotic warrior tribes (the Angles and Saxons) and then added to by other psychotic warrior tribes (the Norse, the Danes and the Normans).
Huh. Just thought. Maybe the Normans were psychotic out of confusion - none of them were actually CALLED Norman, they all had French names.
1. "Footloose" is NOT a documentary on how to impose regulations on dancing 2. "weddings, receptions, conventions, assemblies and fashion shows" are all private events, so unless the lawyers got tickets or invites, they're not allowed to attend 3. Charging people who go to karaoke for artists' time is amusing given that any karaoke tracks I've heard are just MIDI renderings of the score and never involve artists at all 4. Karaoke attendees are suffering enough and therapy is expensive
In the US, the split is notoriously in favour of the labels with the labels more often than not never bothering to forward the artist's share. Labels in the US also charge artists for just about everything under the sun (plus interest), so even when there is a nominal payment it often goes back to the label to cover costs imposed on the artist. It's the perfect scam.
Maybe Canada is better, but it's dubious.
Public functions, yes, but weddings would surely be private events. You would normally have to have an invitation to attend. To charge private events for royalties is definitely a major expansion.
This matters, since it would decide on how tight the coupling has to be in order for the GPL to significantly differ from the LGPL when it comes to software that is technically outside of the boundary of the physical code. I would consider this to be important, since this would create actual Case Law for what is and is not implied by the GPL when it comes to software that utilizes the GPL.
(99.999% of humanity would not consider there to be a problem at all, but there's the 0.001% that still believes the GPL covers software that makes use of GPL software in any way, shape or form. Unfortunately, they happen to be CEOs and corporate lawyers, otherwise they wouldn't matter. An actual legal ruling on the scope would be extremely helpful.)
Arguably, we already knew about APIs since Apple lost vs Microsoft on the basis that interfaces are not copyrightable, so this doesn't really add anything of significance to the body of law on software IP.
int comp(int a, int comp, int b) {
int ret;
switch(comp) {

return(ret); }
Yeah, but it's not normally considered to mean "violators will be stopped with hellfire missiles", although apparently nobody has told the VA governor this.
I've a suspicion that some of those aren't independent variables. It would be interesting to know how they connect, because then instead of having to get depressed, you'd know why the rest of government was so flawed on such a consistent basis and what was actually needed in the way of reform. Discovery is only depressing if you never do anything with it.
You pay twice. You pay the interest on the loan AND you pay for being in a higher tax bracket. On top of that, since there's two groups collecting these taxes, you're paying double the overhead.
The correct thing would be to determine how much the educational system alters the economy, adjust the higher tax brackets accordingly, abolish loans and re-establish the grant system. You'd end up paying less (since you pay for fewer staff to collect the money), the system becomes simpler (one point of collection, not two) and universities no longer inflate prices to give the illusion of being better (which is a perverse consequence of supply-side economics) but rather would need to charge according to impact.
Constitutionally, the monarch is strictly forbidden from talking about policy in public. The government is legally entitled to kick the monarch out of office for such an offense and has attempted to extend that to Prince Charles any number of times. The monarch also has no right to vote and no right to own personal property (they merely have the right to use the property held in trust for the monarchy), so they definitely have fewer rights.
Yes, Labour changed the holiday, which shows you just how much advance notice Microsoft had and thus the viscosity of the molasses they call management.
Hell, anything at all that is data-driven can be updated at the spur of the moment. In this particular case, though, Microsoft has been forewarned since planning for the jubilee started - which would have been a number of years ago, these things aren't quick to organize - particularly in Britain. In turn, that tells you about the latency in the administration of Microsoft.
Uhhh, not true. Genes change, due to retrotranspons moving genes around and retroviruses (there's a lot of them) adding new genes to your DNA. It is now known through sequencing that every brain cell in your brain has a unique genome, for example. Your genome is also radically altered throughout your time as a zygote, it turns out. There comes a time when the DNA stabilizes, but for a while it is prone to all kinds of mutations.
Any human that was not born as a twin likely carries at least two significantly different genomes from the very start. It turns out that humans produce far more twins than expected, but that one of the twins is then fully absorbed into the other - usually as an organ - very early on. When this process starts late or is incomplete, you get "siamese twins".

Agreed. Tutoring will pay better than regular teaching, will generally involve better students and will always have the best administrator you can be.
Have to have a Masters to teach. Still shy of a PhD but better than a BS.
Didn't Joan Jett do that? Hmmm, come to think of it, didn't work out too shabbily for her.

FIFY.
Not only is it used by gamers and LaTeX (obviously a secret fetishist group), it's got a Foreign Name! That must surely be all the evidence Fox needs!

Nononono. Lolcode would be:

Google is off the hook and Oracle is not only left looking very stupid, it's also left looking very poor and ripe for a Google takeover.
Are ABIs governed by this decision or just APIs?

Yeah, but you want code clarity.
#define min -1
#define equ 0
#define max 1
int comp(int a, int comp, int b) {
int ret;
switch(comp) {
case min: { ret = (a b ? a : b); break; }
default: { ret = (a == b); break; }
}
return(ret);
}
Nonono, it is API himself that cannot be copyrighted.
It would also boost new car sales, due to the reduction of used cars on the market.
Yeah, but it's not normally considered to mean "violators will be stopped with hellfire missiles", although apparently nobody has told the VA governor this.
Only 73.914% of the time.

Well, yes, but debugging Windows isn't everyone's cup of tea.
No it wouldn't, as most of that data is kept outside of the genome itself.
