The gate agent was correct in telling him he could move back in the line to join his kids, but they couldn't cut in line and move up to join him. That's the policy and they tell you this when asking you to line up. The guy was in the wrong and then whined on twitter about how they didn't bend over to kiss his ass. His tweet naming the person could be construed as harassment or slander.
Calling someone "rude" is neither harassment nor slander. Slander requires a lie of fact, calling someone rude is purely opinion. Harassment involves repeated or persistant attacks, a single tweet doesn't cut it.
If the review only contains truth and opinion you have nothing to worry about. If you lie, on the other hand, you can be sued. Defamation, libel, and slander cases are nothing new.
If he left the tweet online and walked out of the airport he wouldn't get arrested. The tweet isn't the issue, his persistent demands that he's let onto the plane would be the issue.
He wasn't given the choice to walk out of the airport. He told to a) delete the tweet and reboard, or b) go to jail. There no was option c to leave, and he even if he had, he wouldn't have been refunded for the unused tickets.
Arresting someone based on something they said or tweeted (that wasn't in any any threatening) *is* a first amendment violation. I'm sure you're right, though, they would have called it a public disturbance or some such. How complaining calmly about poor service is a disturbance or threating is another question. In general, airline employees are given too much latitude to be a*holes in the name of protecting safety.
Depends what exactly Bloomberg and Case were supporting (I don't know the real stories here). If they were trying to repeal the 2nd amendment entirely, then yes I would support them (the employees). If they were trying to take 2nd amendment rights away from a specific class of people (other than the mentally ill and ex-cons), then yes I would support them (the employees). If they were just supporting background checks and/or banning ridiculous weapons and cartridges, then no. It's moot point anyways, as no one at Bloomberg or AOL publically called for them to step down.
That for-profit corporation (Mozilla Corporation) is wholly-owned by a non-profit (Mozilla Foundation). Mozilla Corp has to bend to the will of Mozilla Foundation, whatever will that might be.
They're *asking* him to step down, not *forcing* him to step down. Employees of Bloomberg or AOL could have asked Michael Bloomberg or Steve Case to step down if they wished to. They didn't and it likely wouldn't have made a difference if they had tried.
Also bare in mind, Mozilla Corp is wholly owned to Mozilla Foundation (a non-profit). The goals for Mozilla Corp are whatever Mozilla Foundation wants. If Mozilla decides they don't want this guy to be their CEO, that's their perogative. Bloomberg and AOL are/were public-traded for-profit corporations. Their goals are/were to make as much money as possible for their shareholders. If their shareholders wanted to get rid of Bloomberg or Case based on politics rather than profits, it's their perogative as well.
The data preserved beyond five years cannot be accessed by NSA intelligence analysts for any purpose, and can only be accessed by technical personnel for ensuring continued compliance with the government's preservation obligations, Judge Walton wrote in his revised order.
So no, they can't search it, at least not without running afoul of the FISA court's order (not that that has stopped them before).
Wrong... the update you linked only installs the latest updates to DX9.0c when installed on XP. It does not add DX10 or DX11 to XP. When installed on Vista or 7 it includes DX10 and DX11.
On the other hand, Android has problems with "signed code". Yes. That's right. Android has problems with it's "app store". This isn't your grandfather's Windows style malware.
Read TFA:
"Android accounted for 97% of all mobile malware in 2013, but only 0.1% of those were on Google Play"
How does which build tools you use make you a good or bad programmer? You're trying to answer a completely different question than what the headline is asking.
The answer to the question in the headline is NO. A good IDE just increases a good programmer's productivity and (at best) helps a bad programmer slide by, it doesn't change good programmers to bad or vice versa. None of which has anything to do with build tools.
The manufacturer would be putting the toll in your computer or device, not DARPA. DARPA is just trying to invent the tech to do it. According to TFA, the validation would also be done by an "industry-owned server."
After a scan, an inexpensive appliance (perhaps a smartphone) uploads a serial number to a central, industry-owned server. The server sends an unencrypted challenge to the dielet, which sends back an encrypted answer and data from passive sensors-like light exposure-that could indicate tampering, DARP said.
That hasn't been my experience. I don't get many signature required packages, but when I do, they don't leave it at the door, they leave the sticker with options to pick it up and when they'll try again.

She said he'd be arrested if he didn't delete the tweet. The arrest would violate the 1st amendment.

What part of "we don't think Eich is the right person to run Mozilla" equates to a "hate compaign"?

Nothing in the your quote contradicts what I said. I've used DOSBox to play old games. There is a setting to adjust the speed of the emulator.
In fact I just took a look at one of the config files, the setting is called "cycles" and it is in the "cpu" section of the config.
According to the computerhistory.org article, subdirectories were added in DOS 2.0.
Dosbox allows you to slow down the emulated DOS environment to make old games run fine.

Dealers have a lot of political clout.
Read the comments in the link you posted, that update does not add DX10 or DX11 to XP, it only updates DX9 when installed on XP.
Later on...guess what? Microsoft decided to allow DX11 to run as well: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us...

If you are a Comcast Internet customer, you can already use Xfinity WiFi where it's available, even if you aren't providing this service to them.

DARPA won't be "running the program"
That hasn't been my experience. I don't get many signature required packages, but when I do, they don't leave it at the door, they leave the sticker with options to pick it up and when they'll try again.
If the package is "Signature Required", they will not leave it at your doorstep.
Evidence?
Chromecast works with iOS too. I'm unclear how your "usage rates" of Android vs iOS really relate to Chromecast.
