Ah, the heady days of the 80s, where even though such things as Lotus 1-2-3 and DBase existed you were encouraged to write your own versions.
Me, I wrote a GEM replacement in Turbo Pascal that took advantage of the massive resolution and colour space improvements in EGA from CGA to make a far nicer interface.
Windows did exist then, but was scorchingly expensive. We still don't talk about how bad version 2 was...
In Starfleet, captains can (and frequently do) take any station and operate it as well as anyone else, with the exception of medical (not counting Capt. Crusher). Rewriting "subroutines" is easy.
I'm not playing one-up, but in over 20 years of online activity there isn't one picture of me, any phone number you might find never worked in the first place (but if you could find that then you wouldn't need it anyway).
It is not easy, but you can remain pretty anonymous, even if you use Twitter, as I do.
The UK had over 30 years of terrorist attacks by the IRA, the bonus value of that being they weren't committed by those conveniently of a different race / colour so all of them could be tarred with the same brush of automatic guilt. In all that time we didn't succumb to your pathetic whiny surrendering of common sense, so go fuck yourself you racist coward.
The quote makes it sound like Ghostery is in some way responsible for him not putting white listing capability in his "simple" app, something that anybody who has ever used any variety of content blocker would know about and expect to have.
Even if there wasn't a user controlled one, at the very least he could have white listed his own site. Did he even write the app or just get some intern armed with a "iOS Apps for Dummies" book to do it for him?
Then you're a slave to the Almighty Dollar and in order to get it (hint: that's avarice) you're prepared to not only agree to work more hours a day than any other civilised country but also defend and advocate the practise.
A team who are meteorologists and take the basic facts from Met office data and using their knowledge write the scripts themselves. Other channels use pre-prepared scripts and parrot them off an autocue.
The Met office bulletins are what you would expect from a bunch of scientists: lots of facts and assumption of knowledge. Contrast with BBC whose job is to make programmes. They have the knowledge of presenting to a population of millions and so assist to that end.
As for the general layman not knowing what an occluded front is, we've had highly informative bulletins explaining what they are for decades over here. A major proportion of our weather fronts are occluded (which is why it rains so bloody much) and I learned what one was from the BBC forecasts, when I was about six and we'd just had the longest, hottest and driest summer "since records began".
The assumption that people "don't know" about weather systems is why the BBC has such in depth detail: part of the charter for their existence is to educate, and not just children. We in Britain have probably a higher understanding of the weather because we are taught it via television. Plus it's a national pastime to be amateur meteorologists and discuss it at any given moment as we have so much variation due to being an island at a high latitude with the Gulf stream keeping the water around us warmer than it would otherwise normally be. Also, the jet stream moves north and south of the country on a whim, dragging the remnants of all those tropical storms that hit the US with it.
This is basic stuff and we all know it here. So much so that we can glance at a US bulletin, feel pity for the lack of information imparted, and have a better idea of what is going to happen than the target audience.

European cars are left hand drive, just like US.
If it hadn't been for those two characters, playing Rogue would have been a lot different.
But it would have taken him ten minutes to find the key.

€ € € you mean. Germany hasn't used Deutchmarks since 1999.

More like gluteus maximus maximus
So the law is an ass, but those who seek to profit by it in the full knowledge that it is an ass, aren't?

I prefer those like a steam room; hot and wet, but whatever floats your boat...
Any stopper knot tied incorrectly can be dangerous. As can using the wrong type, for example, a reef with unequal strain as it can capsize.
People blaming a bowline for being unsafe is just them being unable to tie it correctly. Arguably, an incorrectly tied bowline isn't a bowline...
Long before people grumbled about how much space was "lost" when you formatted a hard drive, formatting 5 1/4 floppies cost you over 30%...
And some modern countries have been doing that for 60+ years...
You had a Windows button on your keyboard? Fancy. Us common plebs had to make do with standard 102 if we were lucky.
You don't know what slow is unless you've tried build 437 on a 286 with 4MB of RAM.
Happy days...
The real bullshit part is that you don't have consumer protection laws that prevent this kind of clause in a contract in the first place.
Then you're a slave to the Almighty Dollar and in order to get it (hint: that's avarice) you're prepared to not only agree to work more hours a day than any other civilised country but also defend and advocate the practise.
It's more shocking that it can, but doesn't.
English. I have an extensive library of my own...
My NIC begs to differ. It receives every packet and discards those not addressed to it, except when I set it to promiscuous mode.
Will it talk about pop muzik?
