The delay per frame field in the Graphic Control Extension is a 16 bit unsigned integer with units of 1/100th of a second. If you have figured out how to get an animated gif to display with frame intervals longer than 10m55s in existing viewers' code, then I suppose you really are clever.
" most retailers aren't actually using PIN numbers to complete transactions."
Most retailers CAN'T, since most US banks are not putting PINs with the chips.
When I first got a chip and sig card, this caused me problems in Europe when I tried to buy train tickets from a ticket machine. They "solved" this by forcing European vendors to accept a chipped card without a PIN.
I hate it when I accidentally copy the contents of an apps package contents to another folder, renamed it with a.app extension, and execute it only to find there is malware inside.
One of the requirements of a free market is symmetric information. Volkswagen perpetrated a fraud about their products, thus distorting the market an subverting capitalism.
AC provided no basis for finding the suggestion plausible. Not even a rational chain of thought on how this action could lead to a desirable goal, let alone any actual evidence. There's not argument there, just a nutty conspiracy theory.
"a 14-year-old boy who did something as ill-advised and devoid of forethought for possible consequences as any other 14-year-old boy might have done; he never considered that some dumb adults at his school would freak out because they have no understanding of what they were actually looking at."
No rational person could anticipate that level of irrational response.
" And the police wanted to know what he was planning on doing with prop bomb at school, which Ahmed simply wouldn't answer."
At the time of his arrest for building a hoax bomb there was absolutely no evidence that he was attempting to perpetrate a hoax. He couldn't answer what he was planning to do with a "prop bomb" since he didn't have a prob bomb to plan to do anything with. They might as well have asked him when he stopped beating his wife.

How did you determine which one was the liar?
Ending discrimination in favor of a group is not discriminating against that group.
Is your soup carbonated?

I figured it was just too confusing to the rednecks for the Sprint Cup to not be awarded for sprint car racing
Complaining about first-world problems is a first-world problem.
iFixit didn't buy it. Why do they have the right to tear it down?
"Since when do I purchase a physical object, bring it into my home, and some other entity has some legal right to prevent me from opening it?"
Irrelevant to the topic.
iFixit didn't purchase it. It was a review unit loaned by Apple and iFixit broke it into pieces.
You slide the skis under the seats.

Among other names and situations, we call it "The Troubles" and most of us are old enough to have seen it on the news.

" where do you put the luggage?"
Under the hood in the front, because there is no engine there,
Why aren't you hiding the ribbon when you are not using it.
As always, the coverup is worse than the crime.

"The PD didn't even think it looked like a bomb"
Worst hoax ever.
AC provided no basis for finding the suggestion plausible. Not even a rational chain of thought on how this action could lead to a desirable goal, let alone any actual evidence. There's not argument there, just a nutty conspiracy theory.
On that I completely agree with you.
The AC got every bit of respect after the fact that they demonstrated that they deserve.

"But it's become clear that he doesn't tinker. "
Which is entirely irrelevant.

"because that's a handy way to get kids into the guts of computing."
This is not Nintendo's problem, and they are under no obligation to facilitate it.
While Nintendo's position is not the best it could be, silly counterarguments just give them an excuse to dismiss alternatives.
if your penis has lips and a nostril, you have bigger problems than bee stings.
Back in my day there was no finer waste of time than configuring your window manager. I even ran twm with tabbed title bars.
