Everything's microsoldered to a circuit board the size of a credit card, and the tiniest slip of your all-too-human hands and you've ruined a trace on a different circuit.
You might want to try giving surface mount soldering a try, it isn't really that hard. When there's several components, people usually use a reflow oven and solder paste, which is well within the realm of home hobby skill and equipment. But it can also be done pretty easily by hand. It takes a lot longer, so people only usually do it when there's just a few components. The key to it working is the solder mask on the board which won't let solder stick to it. It seems like magic the first few times you see it, so I recommend everyone give it a try at least once.
The reason for the security is that it's a payment center. Think tens of thousands in cash on hand, with a LOT less of a law enforcement response than if you rob the local bank.
There's lots of places that deal with a lot more money with less security. E.g. Walmart, casinos, et . And those places are a lot more likely to deal in cash and with a lot more people than a cable tv provider where most people mail their checks in.
Robotics is the conglomoration of many different diciplines including mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, fabrication, and more. You can learn the computer science part using simulators, but just knowing that doesn't mean you've "learned robotics". There are plenty of pure theoretical areas you can explore in robotics without access to anything, not even a computer. So, it's really important to be very specific about what it is when you say you want to learn robotics.
Actually, if a "real" programmer is going to have their work done by 10:30, they'll ask for more work at 9:00. It's only the bad programmers who are allowed to slack off for 3/4ths of the day since their time is considered less valuable.
I cannot fathom any explanation as to why they press so hard on presenting photos and video as is, but feel free to be as creative as possible with the text and words. My guess is that cameramen are considered second class citizens as opposed to the anchors, and they actively want to prevent them from doing anything creative.

No, the dice can be directly observed, so this is not a good example. A more appropriate example would be you guessing that the dice was 31 without observing it. So it is reasonable to belive there's a high probability that you're wrong.
Back when I rand ads on my website, the click through rate was horribly low, and that's what the advertising agencies used to demand very low rates for displaying ads.
The strategy everyone who hates ads has adopted is to never click on ads, and as a result, a website displaying 10000 ads will probably only get a handful of clicks.
So the strategy I've adopted is to click on evry ad I can. Especially on websites I like. With such low click through rates, just one user can double or tripple a site's revenue, and by the same virtue double or tripple an ad agency's costs.
It only takes a few seconds to open every ad in a new background tab that I'll never see. And I get the benefit of helping a website I like, while costing the advertisers money.
I'd think it wouldn't take an incredible number of people adopting the same strategy before advertisers have to change their game.
Fight Club. But not because the movie was horrible, but because I expected it to be horrible. When it turned out to be fairly descent I enjoyed it a lot more than movies I expected to be good. I've had similar experiences with others, but that one stands out in my mind because I it was so different from what I was expecting.
That's thankfully not (yet) how the law works. The EPA does not need the sourcecode or reverse engineer anything, they just say to VW, "hey, wheird thing happened, your cars blow out 40x crap on a street vs in a test-setting. You wanna explain that? No? No problem, come back for approval when you change your mind, recall is hereby issued..."
No, that's thankfully not (yet) how the law works. The EPA cannot issue recalls, and cannot reject a companies cars just because they think they did something wrong. They could however subpoena source code, design documents, etc to build their case off of, as well as impose stiffer penalties based on how much they tried to cover it up and who was involved.
Actually, that is how it (mostly) works. It's true some ads only pay per click, but many pay just per view. So the cost of producing and serving up content without also paying for it is an actual cost. And it's usually the annoying, popup/pop-over flashy ads that are the ones that pay per view.
Easy: you're a heritic for questioning well established scientific principals. Plase report to the town square to be tarred and feathered. (Also, plase bring some tar and some feathers).
If, by "misinterpreting" you really mean: "You only read the title", then yes. The title of the bill has nothing to do with what it actually does. Largely, this bill just shifts a lot of the responsibilities of the federal government to the states.
While not an expert on Windows 7 limitations, I can attest that I have several partitions on Windows 7 systems that are larger than 2TB. Makes me suspect about the remainder of your claims.
Generating good content is hard, and for a single person to do it on a regular basis is next to impossible. As an experiment, take all the blog posts you read on a particular day that come from whatever source you normally use (for me that's/r/programming or Hack-A-Day). Then go to the previous post on that person's blog. Odds are you'll find that article of significantly lower quality than the one that brought you there, and/or that article will have been posted months or years ago.
Content aggregators are really the only sites worth using on a regular basis. If you try to stick to just a few dozen expert bloggers, you'll only see a post every month or so, or there will be a very low interesting (to you) content to noise ratio. And you'll miss out on a lot of the one hit wonders. Additionally, I usually find the comments on the aggregator site are often just as or more interesting than the blog post.
The point he was trying to make was the Jobs didn't invent anything, not even an improvement over an old invention. He was just a charasmatic guy who got other people to do the work for him.
The 100 app limit is for developers not enrolled in the enterprise program. The only limit for enterprise apps is the you all have to work for the same company. Better, but still total BS.
Just because a language is open source doesn't mean it's not still controlled by a single entity. Nowdays, a language needs a good framework to go along with it, and as we're seeing with Oracle v Google, just because something is open source doesn't mean anyone can just pick it up and run with it. And even if they could, there's no guarentee that someone would pick up your favorite language/framework and continue to support it.
Not sure what your idea of recent is, but I have some pretty old books on mathematical astronomy dating back to the 70's that all refer to the Earth as an oblate spheroid.
Usually, when you say something is "well documented", you provide some evedence of those documents. I'm not doubting it's true, but I've never seen anybody produce a reliable souce of information that says it's true.
I doubt you'll ever see a job posting for an AI position. All products have a high failure rate of reaching the market, and I imagine the AI product failure rate is astronomical compared even to "regular" products. Large companies tend to buy out small companies that have developed slightly successful products, and they make money by enhancing and marketing them. Very rarely do large companies like Google, MS, etc actually put money into research developing new things. So, I think if you want a job in AI, you're going to have to invent something yourself.
I can certainly see the desire for things like "var", but I actually think it's something that could be better served by an IDE rather than the language itself. E.g. type "var i=3", IDE changes that to "int i=3". Many IDE's today do a good job of suggesting variables based on types of parameters, but so far I haven't noticed any a variable's type from a return type of a function.
Hmmmm, ok, not time to panic just yet, but I think we may have hit that point where Microsoft might actually be attempting to be competitive. Be on the lookout for flying pigs and snowballs from hell.

Sanctions are irrelevant too. They're not law or whatever.

I swichted to double rot13 years ago. I've heard of some people using tripple rot13, but that just seems like overkill.
