Plus most American cities have much older infrastructure under ground, making wiring more costly, difficult and time consuming.
Because:
a) Europe and Asia didn't have cities until America showed them how. b) European and Asian cities didn't have underground infrastructure until the Romans brought it back from America where everything was originally invented. c) Every single city in Europe and Asia was bombed into oblivion during WWII and had to be completely rebuilt, including the underground infrastructure.
I'd agree that it's a bit of a waste of bandwidth, disk space, etc. for/. to bother with it
Clearly the Slashdot community in general does not agree, as stories like this always end up attracting far more comments than the rest of the day's stories (including yours - if you think it is a waste of bandwidth, why are you even reading the story and ensuing discussion let alone posting comments in it?).
I wasn't curious to try Home, but I saw the new permissions requested in order for Home to work, and recalled the last time I ditched the Facebook app, which was when they silently installed Camera and Messaging apps alongside it without my consent. They came to their senses on that, and bought themselves a second chance, but I'm afraid there won't be a third chance, because their app is no longer offering the value of contact integration that it was in those days, and by uninstalling it, I've realised how much of my battery drain was caused by that app.
There was a documentary on UK TV last year that looked at a cushion factory which was seeing parity between its Chinese and UK plant - and this is sowing and stuffing cushions
At a guess, I'd say the higher rainfall in UK would benefit any industry that involves sowing.
The only obtuseness I've encountered in Java is the hoops you have to jump through to interoperate with an API from another language that uses unsigned types.
C tutorials on the other hand are full of examples where *(x+1) is used interchangeably with x[1], which ends up becoming a habit for years until one day you hit one of the edge cases where those statements are not equivalent and are left scratching your head as to why your program is crashing. Endianness is never hidden behind an API, since the whole C philosophy is to be fast, not easy to use, so anyone doing networking code on an Intel architecture for the first time has a bunch of pitfalls waiting for them. Then there's all the cases where C happily lets you overwrite memory outside the bounds of an array etc, leaving you to debug the memory corruption that results, where Java would have thrown a clear exception telling you exactly what you did on which line of code.
So we're agreed, using C as the first introduction to programming is a bad idea? Not that I'm advocating Java, or even Python as the best solution, both are only marginally better. Scratch is more like it - as simple to learn as Logo, but less boring (Logo held my interest for about half an hour when I was young, by that time I'd about reached the limitations in what could be done with a pen and 4 directional commands).
When we teach maths to elementary school students, do we insist that they understand differential calculus before we teach them addition and subtraction?
Perhaps to someone who has been trained in C but not Java. The biggest problems with C when compared against Java is the limited extent of its standard library, sorting through the plethora of poorly documented non-standard libraries that are available (vs Java, where if there isn't a standard for it, then the next obvious stop is apache.org) and the fact that you need to understand the hardware architecture of the system you are developing for in a lot of cases, as well as distinctions between stack and heap and a bunch of low level gotchas in the language that are far from obvious to the newbie, or even to experienced developers sometimes.
There's also the fact that Google blurs out people's faces in streetview images, while Iran's Islamic streetview would blur out everything but the faces.
For me, the phrase in the first paragraph "To take advantage of the power of MODx, the developer needs to learn how MODx works" was enough clue. But the "9 degrees in programming and web design" really had me chuckling.
Because what the US needs most of all is to enlarge the gap to ensure that countries like Rwanda and Cuba cannot catch up and take first place in the prison population statistics race.
There was a BBC documentary last week about a guy in Florida who was entrapped into sharing his prescription painkillers with a police informant, and ended up in prison for 25 years, not because he didn't want to co-operate, but because he didn't have the criminal network to be of any use to the police.
I'm not sure about Charles de Gaulle, but Schipol has the security check at the gates, precisely because of the large number of transfers there, and the lack of security at some of the smaller airports feeding into it. It is also quite common at airports to separate arrivals and departures, with a security check to transfer in between. So this isn't just a US thing, though the US execution of it is generally poor, lacking transfer desks and requiring you to collect your baggage and check it back in.
China will "intervene" (as in attack the North Koreans at our request) if we ask, so long as we promise to take care of the refugees.
I wouldn't be too sure. The way China has been acting towards its neighbourslately, I wouldn't be surprised if North Korea ratcheting up the tension is part of a bigger plan.
Not only were there other cars around, but traffic lights were switched on. The spot where the link takes you looks deserted, and there are a couple of impressively collapsed houses nearby, but travel a couple of hundred metres and things start to look a lot less like a ghost town and more like a run down rural town that is still rebuilding a couple of years after an earthquake.
Can Nexus access/get updates from the Google store in SE Asia?
Yes, with the exception of Burma/Myanmar. Movies, Books, Music, and buying the device directly from Google Play are restricted to a small handful of Western countries, but Apps and Updates are available pretty much everywhere (except China and countries under embargo by US).
If that blog post is an example of what gets past Google's interview process, then I am not at all surprised that 11th grade high school students could also get past it.

No, I can't. People in the US, UK and a handful of other countries can, but for many, including in Apple's biggest market, it is not an option.
Yes, but only based on a share of the net profit after all the overheads are accounted for in true Hollywood style.

I think Kim's rant was more about the renewed sanctions preventing him from buying stuff from all those countries.

It seems the mixup came from your original post:

It's not a car - its squeezing through some tight spaces in places.

The thing about free desktops is that they are free to ignore Wayland and either stick with X, or go the Ubuntu way and do their own thing.
