It's so hard to believe they can make more off of infomercials. Cartoons had to have ten times their ratings easily.
With cartoons, the station had to pay the producer to show the program. Sometimes quite a lot. With infomercials, the producer pays the station. Stations doesn't care what the ratings are, and really, neither does the producer. All the producer cares about is how many orders get phoned in.
The busses would have been supposed to evacuate the city before they got submerged!
The busses had no place on the parking lot at the first place! Either national guard or fire fighters or the army themselves should have confiscated them and rescue people! If the 'city' has not the 'guts' to order the drivers or ask for volunteers!
When, exactly, did the busses get submerged? Was there time to get them out? It's entirely possible that nobody knew that the flooding would reach the parking lot until after it did.
Reminds me about the pictures of the Katrina Hurricane, a parking lot full with minimum 100 school busses, under water... and people _walking_ with luggage on their back on a highway out of the city. It was completely _impossible_ to use those busses to evacuate the population... (* face palm *)
Well, yeah, it was. A motor vehicle that's been submerged isn't going to run, at least not until it's been repaired.
For-profit companies do nothing -- nothing -- in the best interests of their users.
*Good* for-profit companies work in the best interests of their *customers*, because that's an excellent way to ensure they remain customers. Facebook's users are not, of course, Facebook's customers. Customers pay money for what they get.
Fahrenheit is actually well calibrated to human climates--for the average person, below 0F is too cold to comfortably endure in for long, even if you're dressed for it, and above 100F is too hot to comfortably endure for long
They always have been. Not that "conservative Republicans" are often much better. Politicians generally feel they know how you should live your life better than you do--people who don't have that itch don't feel the need to go into politics.
For other scientists, it's not about trust. For the general public, who can't perform your experiments (or, as a rule, even understand them), it *is* about trust.
To put it in perspective, the Red Cross mandates that you can only donate a half-liter of blood every eight weeks. The adult human body only has about five liters of blood in it.
It's the parser in the shell itself that has some fundamental flaws because it executes code inside environment variables that are totally unchecked.
Which makes it a bad language, because bash not only allows but *requires* the execution of code inside environment variables.
You could have a brilliant programming language and still make the exact same mistake.
Well, no, because a brilliant programming language would not allow the execution of code inside interpolated environment variables as part of its specification.
The only simple explanation I see is, the tax is based on the 'value' of the areal, which might be higher if there is a pool.
Which would be exactly correct. Real estate taxes are levied on the appraised value of the real estate, which a pool would increase.
Note that this is even more clear-cut, because we're not just talking about a pool, but a piece of real estate documented to the taxman as a vacant lot with not just a pool, but an entire mansion, which, of course, raises the value of the property by quite a lot.
How is it logical that he loses his job and now he can't get any job?
Quite logical, really. These days, HR will do a background check on *anybody* they hire. All you need is an Internet connection, after all. When the whistleblowing comes up, the HR guy decides, "He's a trouble-maker. I've got dozens of other resumes. I'll pick somebody who's not a trouble-maker."

"Stop work" means "stop work on the contract". They can do what they like, but it won't be work on the contract--NASA won't pay for any of it.

Because when you're looking for highly accurate, trustworthy information, you think of Facebook!
Actually, 1-2-3 is over a year older. It was first released on January 26, 1983. Mark Zuckerberg was born on May 14, 1984.
...you feel that they're not bloating the OS enough?
...we need a Million Man Mars?
From Windows 10 to Tetris: The Movie, the satirists just can't keep ahead of the real world!
I think you need to find a Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and a little girl to go with your strawman.

Well, there you go. They didn't want to offend the *other* Axis nation by making "Windows Nein".
...and when it boots up, we can have a sound clip of Patrick Steward saying, "Make it so!"
Two obvious answers are desktop icons and running the files themselves and having the file association start the right app.

That would be because they're trying to scam you.

He's against Anarchy in the UK, then?

Now, if it were antidisestablishmentarianism, I could get behind that.
