Yes, blocks of code such as the body of a function go in curly braces in JavaScript. There are also curly braces in PHP, so I'm not set on the idea that curly braces are the One True Distinction.
Ok, they have probably cause to search the laptop. Forcing the defendant to open the door for them is not included. Why would the defendant ever comply to this if the material on the laptop was terribly illegal? I think I'd rather take the punishment of failure to give over an encryption key.
This isn't really a risk issue, dutchwhizzman was suggesting limiting the rights of a purchaser of a stock. Arbitrarily limiting someone from reselling stock they bought within a week is a terrible idea. The first-sale doctrine applies to stocks as well. If someone buys it, they have the right to sell it.
I follow similar investment strategies, and here's my take:
Maybe you should know that the big banks who do HFT also co-locate inside the exchanges and front run orders making hundreds of billions per year.
That's very nice that those banks are making money. Front running is illegal already. This practice may affect my purchase prices by a couple pennies if true. That is miniscule compared to the gains realized over holding a good investment long term.
Also, you might want to know that if the market crashes and restarts like today the big banks can get their losing trades reversed and you can't.
If I'm a long term investor, I generally have no trades on a given day, therefore, I have no trading loses to reverse. If I were going to trade an investment, I would have established what I believe the value to be. If the market went awry like today and the prices where not what I thought the values were, I WOULD NOT TRADE DURING A PANIC.
All the profit they're making has to come from somewhere. Are you so certain it doesn't come out of your pocket?
The profit of every company and individual has to come from somewhere. Why would I assume it's at my expense with no evidence that it is?
You might not be aware of this, but stock gains are already taxed. There is a short term and a long term rate, with the long term (over a year) rate being more favorable. This is to encourage holding stocks for a longer time period.
Can you honestly not see any reason for someone to sell a stock within a week of buying it? What if a sudden life event occurs and they need that money immediately, or maybe some news story is realesed about a company that clearly states that it is a horrible company that will be out of business in a matter of months?
You do understand that the NRA is an organization composed of more than 4 million people, so anytime you want to make such statements you need to rephrase it to say "Despite the protests of 4 million citizens". Works for me.
Maybe he should rephrase it to say "Despite the protests of a vocal minority of a little over 1% of the population."
Unless Windows loses that monopoly or someone develops a rock-solid ubiquitous cross-platform interface to build apps on top off, Windows is not going anywhere.
This could be why Microsoft never really tried to push.NET cross-platform. They could just port.NET to every other platform out there, put less emphasis on the OS and focus more on their productivity software. If they could sell Office for any new device that shows up, I doubt they would be too concerned with windows sales.
Kind of like the decline of oil lamps was because people didn't need them to light their homes anymore, they had electric light bulbs. If the market has indeed changed like this, MS can either try to get into the new markets, which they are kind of trying without a lot of success, or they can accept a dominant position in a smaller market (PCs).
Oh damn! MS lost software sales for two machines at that coffee shop. Maybe they can make it up in the nearby multistory office building with nothing but desks that have windows boxes on them?
I concede the point of follow up damage to you, but I don't think 9/11 is a great example. It would have been near impossible to hijack two separate planes and crash them into buildings simultaneously. There was bound to be a delay between impacts, planned or not. The planes also hit different buildings. I would imagine the terrorists would have hit the same building if they were trying to attack the first responders.

The real question then, if the 2nd is caught alive, will we ever see him again? He's already been labeled a terrorist, he's an immigrant , and has some ties to the Islamic faith. I think he'll be questioned by homeland security for a good while.
You should stop listening to nuts, both right and left wing. Also stop listening to live news feeds. You get much better news and waste less time if you'd wait a little.
Way to hijack the thread. Flourine in drinking water is absolutely nothing compared to HF acid. If there was a factory with large amounts of HF anywhere near my house, I'd be gone very quick. That is some of the nastiest strong acid you can spill.
Depending on the "we" that you represent, I'm not sure that you can. Sure some states have stepped up their gun laws, but on the federal level, I don't think anything is going to change.
I first heard of this bombing on ESPN at the restaurant I was eating lunch at. The Boston marathon is a legitimate sports event, but they continued covering and discussing the bombing well past the point of it being a sports story. Was ESPN exploiting the tragedy?
What terrorists do this? Not whoever was responsible for this mess in Boston the other day. It may be that some terrorists do this, but I don't think the evidence is strong enough that we should jam all cell signals in a major metropolitan area that had an above average amount of people in the area.
This is just talking about exponential growth rates and using that to estimate the start of life. Apparently, the editors of/. can't understand exponential growth without thinking of Moore's law.
They can be divided into something like 0.0000000001 BTC so that is not an issue, if the economy got huge you'd price stuff in milli-BTCs or micro-BTCs. But you're getting close to why people think it's a pyramid scheme, to fit a trillion dollar economy in 21m BTC the exchange rate would have to rise to almost $50k/BTC. Actually $100/BTC already seems crazy, it'd put the total value at $2100 millon - until anyone big tries to cash out anyway.
I have a question, how do you divide a bitcoin? I am not very versed in bitcoins, but as far as I can tell, each coin has a unique key. I think this is part of the process of mining them. So then when you divide a coin into a million smaller fractions, where do you get unique keys for those fractional coins? Without their keys, how can transactions with them go through the network? Maybe I am totally wrong on how its supposed to work, but I'm not sure how the dividing of the coins works. Furthermore, if it is trivial to create new unique keys for the sub-coins, why not just create new keys for additional full bitcoins and not limit it to 21 million?

What web are you looking at? This is the way to change the style of elements in HTML.
Yes, blocks of code such as the body of a function go in curly braces in JavaScript. There are also curly braces in PHP, so I'm not set on the idea that curly braces are the One True Distinction.
That's because the finalization of HTML5 is going at a glacial pace. Seriously, what are they doing?

No one anywhere to the left of the center would paint every muslim as evil and intolerant. I don't believe you for a minute.

You wouldn't have all that "crap my carrier had installed" if you bought an iPhone.
You also wouldn't have it if you shoved your shoe up your ass and didn't get a phone.
Since we can with guns, we will.

So it's impossible to create a bomb that will detonate on loss of signal?
That's possible, but you'll probable kill yourself with it.

rainbow tables are only of use if you can store the table on disk. A rainbow table gets quite large quite quickly as the password length increases.
