In many US states, the speed limits are not maximum legal speeds. Instead the posted speed limited are prima facie speed limits -- limits that are presumed to be maximum reasonable speed. In Texas, where most speed limits are prima facie speed limits, drivers can challenge speeding tickets on this basis, and they do sometimes win. Most people do not do this because it requires someone with legal expertise in this area. The general rule for setting speed limits is that a traffic study is performed, and the speed limit is set at the 85th percentile of measured vehicle speeds. The assumption is that 15% of the drivers will always drive too fast. http://www.txdot.gov/governmen....
Yes, we need a C++ ISO standard to make sure that all the compilers comply with C++11. Oh wait, Microsoft still can't figure out how to support C++11 fully. The MSDN blog cites "resource constraints" as the problem. How that fits in with laying off 18,000 employees, I'm not sure.
Many people work in situations where they must exchange documents with other people (inside or outside the company). When a document looks vastly different in LibreOffice compared to MS Office, that is a problem. At a previous job, I had to use Word on Windows -- Word on Mac was not enough -- when dealing with files containing MathType equations.
Or multifocal contact lenses. They're even better than bifocal glasses. Unlike bifocals, you don't have to make any effort. The lenses just provide a good combination of near and distance vision. The design I'm wearing is "center near," with more distance correction toward the edges, but you can't tell that there are areas of different correction when wearing them. Somehow the eyes and brain sort it out.
The real problem here is that we simply do not need as many workers in the US as we used to, when adjusted for population growth. Many positions have been eliminated because of new inventions and technology, and we are not creating enough new jobs to take their place. The displaced workers are supposed to be able to support themselves, but there simply are not enough jobs. Consider this: Even if every job opening were filled with an unemployed person, two thirds of the unemployed would still be jobless.
What happens if the password itself purposefully includes a self-incriminating statement? The defendant cannot give away the password without making a self-incriminating statement. Of course, to make that point, the defendant gives partial knowledge about the password, which would make it more feasible to break.
It has been awfully hot outside. I'm thinking about switching over to Fox News, where global warming isn't happening and the summer is as cool as ever.
Many high schools give higher grade points to course designated as AP, IB, etc. For example an A in an AP course might be worth 5 grade points instead of usual 4. Similarly a B in an AP course might yield 4, and so forth. That was the case at the high schools where I taught.
Scoring a 4 or 5 on the AP test does not automatically result in receiving college credit for a course. Each college has its own policies regarding what scores are acceptable to receive course credit, fees for petitioning for course credit, the actual course(s) for which credit will be given (which may vary based on the score), and how the credit will appear on the transcript.
The American Red Cross actually favors allowing men who have had sex with men to donate after a 12 month deferral. It's the FDA that has insisted on the lifetime ban. The guidelines appear somewhat arbitrary, seemingly based on some late-1970s conception of which groups are "bad people."
Consider John, who traded blow-jobs one time with his college friend in 1978, but since then has been in a monogamous relationship to a woman. The male/male sex was 36 years ago, but John is forever barred from donating blood. Now compare John to Mary: Mary traveled a lot on business, and it took her a while to realize that her husband was having anonymous, unprotected anal sex with men. It's been a little over a year since Mary last had sex with her (now ex-) husband, so she's free to donate.
Then there's the whole issue that it's all on the honor system...
If Google Glass and similar devices could allow people with "low vision" to see the movie (whereas conventional glasses do not), this would squarely place the theaters in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Theaters already have a horrible history of compliance with the Act, though. I'd surprised that the theaters doesn't confiscate the hearing aids of customers with auditory disabilities.
Yes, once you mention canceling your service, the representative moves to a completely different script. In fact, in some companies, the original representative will transfer you to a different department, such as customer retention. Either way, a representative is then allowed to present some offers that are not advertised or might normally only be available to new customers because the goal is now to "save" the account (i.e. convince the customer not to cancel).
First, try to tune out the negative, inflammatory comments. No good can come of dwelling on them. Second, I would suggest seeing a psychiatrist, especially given your statement about a prior sleep disorder. Nothing against general practitioners, but psychiatrists are more familiar with medications that might help. The psychiatrist should also be able to refer you to a professional (psychologist, social worker, licensed counselor) to work on the non-medical aspects of your situation.
Regardless of where you decide to get help, explain to the person what you wrote in your original post. Bring notes about what you want to discuss at your appointment. The fact that you are having trouble completing the assignments and remembering the material, as well as having trouble on the tests is important to bring up. In contrast to your situation, some people do great on the assignments and can explain the material to other people very well, but they do not do well on the tests. (Yes, I know that most people say that they do not do well on tests, but I'm talking about situations where someone gets among the highest grades on the homework but scores in the middle or lower on tests.)
If students have not tried programming, they have no way of knowing whether they might enjoy it and be talented at it. There are lots of things I didn't think I would be interested in or even enjoy until someone made me do it. Students in economically disadvantaged and minority schools are much less likely to be exposed to programming outside of school than students in other schools. Some of that is the fault of the community and the culture. Regardless, it seems like a great idea that might motivate some students and provide them a chance that they would not otherwise have.
After a series of burglaries in my apartment complex, a meeting was held with a local police officer. The officer specifically directed us to call 911 if we saw anyone suspicious walking around the apartment complex. I always thought that 911 was reserved for medical emergencies, serious crimes in progress, and so forth, but that is definitely not the message our local police are giving.
I tried to use healthcare.gov soon after it first came online. It was very slow, and eventually the system got to a point where it wouldn't let me go forward with my application or do anything else. A few days later, I tried again. This time, it complained that it couldn't verify my ID, and it told me call an 800-number or submit my ID online. The 800-number was closed at that time, so I decided to upload one of the identification documents. A week or so later, I still couldn't use my account, and I had not received any email about it either.
Next, I tried calling the 800-number, which seems to be contracted with Experian. Experian asked for a "reference number" that the web site was supposed to have provided, but it didn't. Without that number, Experian refused to help me. The main healthcare.gov phone number could not help me, either. Finally, I tried creating a new account, and at some point the site asked me a few multiple-choice questions about my previous addresses and so forth. This is apparently the ID "verification." I had never gotten to this page on my original account! Eventually, I was able to look at the insurance plans available. My guess is that my original account ended up with bad data in it, and there was no way to recover from it other than creating a new account.

Of course C++ is a weapon. People shoot themselves in the foot with it all the time.

Not using A/C is simply not an option in many regions, where every summer we have many people die from the heat.
In the southern United States, the vast majority of energy is used for HVAC (heating and air conditioning).
If people get too worried about this, we will take an activity that kids enjoy doing just for fun into a high-pressure ordeal from that kids dread.

The lobbyists seem to be behind for 2014. They better pony up more money if they want this deal to go through.

The .torrent files only contain metadata. The NSA assured us that metadata isn't really data. Something does not quite match up here.
Qt's "open source" version, cost $0, has included the option of LGPL licensing for quite some time now.

One small claims action might not get Dell's attention, but 5000 or 50,000 might.

Actually, several emergency rooms in my area have large billboards posted on the freeway with their current wait times.
