You mean the laws that stops private companies from digging trenches
Ain't no law stopping me from digging on my property. Oh wait, you mean the law that stops me from trespassing on and digging up other people's property without getting their permission first. Yeah, I'll add that one to the list for future reference.
Yeah, those damn laws forcing me to pay people to dig trenches, keeping me from stealing billions of dollars worth of copper and fiber, and stopping me from tapping into the electric poles to run the routers, that's what's stopping me from competing with AT&T. If only the government wasn't forcing me to come up with billions of dollars in capital, I coulda been a contender!
I regularly fill up at the same station, so I do the math myself when I'm bored (I reset trip odometer each tank so I know how many miles I've gone).
Shouldn't modern fuel injection computers know how much fuel is being injected? It seems like it should be trivial for the car to tell me my MPG correctly.
Not everyone at the hotel is staying in a room at the hotel.
Do they hold business conferences there? Our company sends me to man the sales booth at conferences/expos all the time, and the hotels charge us ridiculous rates. I haven't gotten to $1000 yet, but the last one was at a Radisson which had a $150 "setup fee" plus $80/day per device for a two day conference (I expensed $20 to turn on my sprint hotspot for a month to run our demonstration ipad and ipod touch).
the HIPAA EDI transaction codes are X12 837 (claim/encounter transactions), X12 270 and 271 (eligibility inquiries and responses), X12 276 and 277 (claim status inquiries and responses), X12 278 (referrals and prior authorization transactions), X12 835 (health care payment and remittance information), and X12 275 (health claims attachments).
Huh. Which of those do I use to order a CBC? Which one sends a history and physical to the hospital? Which one does the MRI machine use to send me the picture of your brain? (trick question!)
Everyone's been using these transactions for years, but they are not relevant to the issue being discussed here.
I'm pretty sure I was asked when upgrading to Squeeze if I wanted to make it the default, but the question may not have been a high-priority one so debconf could have been configured to skip it.
I had to use a certain brand of detergent or specific equipment in my imaginary dry cleaning business, or that I couldn't charge an extra 5.99 for express cleaning service or 2.99 delivery fee
Of course, of course. But you know, that $7.99 "throw that other guy's laundry in the trash so you can do yours right now" fee, that's over the top.
While laziness and not wanting to wait 5 extra seconds for number crunching are certainly a factor, I've got customers who are paranoid that we might pull one over on them and retroactively change the data so when they go back to last quarter's numbers they won't be the same.
I set up a cronjob to wget the dashboard weekly, feed it to html2pdf, and email the result to the stakeholders.
It's not being passed in as usual data, it's being passed in as environment variables, most programmers ignore all the variables that are not relevant to their program (which is usually all of them).
If you're using fastcgi with a wrapper script (the recommended configuration for mod_fcgid+PHP), it's time to check the wrapper script. It should not need to be a bash script.
I wonder if there would be a way with https to store an encrypted mail
Short answer: No. Long answer: SSL makes use of a temporary session key that is calculated between the client and the server at the time of the connection. Once the connection is over that key is (ideally) destroyed. If the email was encrypted with my session key when I sent it to the server (and somehow not decrypted by the server at this point) your session key that you create when you connect to the server won't do the job.
This is what S/MIME is for. The email body (and optionally some headers) is encrypted with a session key which is encrypted with your public key (rather than the server's key). Then it is sent through regular email channels. You receive the email and decrypt the session key with your private key, and use it to decrypt the message.
Except that it's honestly a shitty idea given the history of witness unreliability. The human mind is pretty shit at remembering a real human's face you've only seen once. Worse, an uncanny valley fake face is going to look like every other uncanny valley fake face, especially without additional visible features like hair or glasses (and even then the memory is likely to recall "wears glasses" not a specific style or color).
Also, the guy never explained what the hell the problem was that he wants the engineers to make a solution for, other than "it doesn't use this cool face-making library I wrote." Clearly we are all too stupid to see the value of having lawnmower man's face shown when we log into our banking website, if only we weren't engineers instead of PhDs.
Actually, it's all the non-compact fluorescent light bulbs. Nobody ever read the disposal instructions for those, and they're great for swinging around like light sabers, especially if you stand under a transmission line so the EM field lights them up.

it's because of government restrictions

Several can, largely thanks to one library. See https://gist.github.com/XVilka...

He didn't ask for free cable.
Try "Do you think you should serve this shit to a US Senator?"
So that people can plug the controller in and use it without having to compile their own driver?
its not a $1k fee for internet, ever

Nice try, but we all know that it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is. I did not have sexual relations* with that woman.
Could be worse, they could have named it Windows One.
Squeeze was the first version to default to dash.
I'm pretty sure I was asked when upgrading to Squeeze if I wanted to make it the default, but the question may not have been a high-priority one so debconf could have been configured to skip it.
Or any webserver using any CGI that calls system() to execute anything in a computer where the system shell is bash.
Or against github.

When using the wrapper, apache spawns the fastcgi server on the first request if it is not already running.

And of course the non-compact ones that have been in your kitchen for decades, you took those to the recycler too when they burned out, right?

Eh, I think it's far more likely they'll de-Roth. Enjoy paying taxes on the after tax money you invested.
