Every language that has NULL has the tools to deal with NULL (i.e. the ability to compare a reference to NULL). The problem isn't NULL, the problem is that lazy programmers don't account for the real world, where data is messy and failures in other parts of the system happen all the time.
Well, an experienced programmer will just set up the inner join such that the whole employee effectively disappears because he/she has no birthday. Problem solved, no NULLs!
Drivers? For a *mouse* ? It's fucking USB HID device (or bluetooth wireless if your laptop has Bluetooth 4.0 LE and you go dongle-less). It's just a bunch of axis and buttons (though you have to admit that the MX Master mice tend to have a little bit more than the average of them). You just plug into anything with generic USB HID support and it should work out of the box. If it doesn't work, you shouldn't blame Logitech, you should blame the retarded operating system that fails at basic USB HID.
Oh, you plug it in and it works, but you don't get all the fancy per-game remapping and 30s startup time and 1-2GB RAM consumption. Those are worth something too, you know.
In other news, Logitech's "drivers" have always been shit.
If you count Webkit and Blink as different, then you can't claim Edge uses Trident; that's the old IE engine. Trident is a mostly-rewritten fork, just as Blink is a mostly-rewritten fork of Webkit.
I've never in my life had a cable or satellite bill over $100. However, I don't pay for sports packages, and I don't pay for premium (HBO) channels, so maybe I'm not average. In the end, though, the $70-80 I was paying wasn't justified by the 3-5 channels I DID watch, so now I record the OTA stuff I want to watch, and Netflix/Amazon for the rest.
The security that was added is that the cards are difficult to copy now. With magstripe the equipment required to copy a card was cheap and widely available. With EMV, it's not.
The card industry isn't "delaying the certifications", all the retailers put their heads in the sand and hoped the switchover wouldn't happen. When it did, they all showed up to the card industry on the same day and demanded certifications. Well, it takes time. Retailers who didn't wait are already certified and were on day one.
And yet, nothing will have changed but the names. Same people running the same parties with the same platforms. The current system prevents a centrist party.
You're overestimating the cost of flash memory by at least 2x, and overestimating the cost difference between 8GB and 32GB by an order of magnitude or more. Just to reinforce your point here.
Toshiba FLASH 32GB (4GBx8), MMC interface - $5.38 in ones, $3.42 in 5k quantities. I spent about 45 seconds looking. This is not the cheapest available.
I had one. Can confirm that it was a huge hassle. The stupid dongle with the charging port coming out of the side, which lead to this awkward t-shaped arrangement of cables. Worst idea ever.
Legal to carry does not mean legal to distribute commercially. You'll need additional permits in each state to do that, and I bet they don't have them.
In theory, maybe. In practice, it doesn't always work out. I am familiar with one case where underground tanks leaked a significant amount of fuel into the ground. The leaking happened over a span of tens of years. It turned into a pretty big deal.
I'm totally cool sharing the men's room with women. It's the pedo hanging around in the women's room while my daughter is in there that I don't like. I'm not sure I'm willing to make a huge issue out of it, though; I'd probably be willing to accept all bathrooms becoming unisex.

I'm guessing the 2+2 CPUs chosen for battery life reasons, but I could be wrong.
So all your lazy programmers turn NREs into InvalidValueException (or worse, just subtle errors where invalid values are used as valid values).

Because AT&T and Comcast don't hire dingbats, amirite?

Why should my coworker get to decide how many spaces my tab is?
This is why whitespace-significant languages are bad.

As I understand it, the liability shift only applies to magswipe transactions. For chip transactions, the liability lies where it always did.

Not until we get rid of our first-past-the-post voting system, there's not really.

By the way, 16GB (2GBx8) MMC is essentially the same price.

DOT regulations do not overrule state law. Sorry.
I didn't say it was a disaster waiting to happen; I just said that the individual states (which are not the DOT) would have to issue them permits.
It's not about the DOT. Each state where they operate would also have to issue them a license. I didn't assume, I checked.

Some badly written utilities and programs. Also, I'd be pretty surprised if there were any programs expecting 8.3 filenames in common use today.
