In the U.S. you cannot decline payment made in cash (if you normally take cash).
Sure you can, if you haven't delivered the goods. Notice the reference to "all debts"? If a debt doesn't exist, you have every right to demand pork bellies before you hand over the merchandise.
OTOH, if the restaurant cashier doesn't want to take your bill in cash after your meal, you can tell them to take it or leave it.
That wouldn't be Softside, would it? When they first started to publish Basic games for the TRS-80, R/S threatened to sue for IP violations; only R/S, they said, had the right to say "Radio Shack" or "TRS-80" in print unless they paid royalties. So Softside began referring to them as "S-80 bus" games.
R/S got their wish: nobody ever discusses Radio Shack computers in print any more.
If you want to carry a.223 pistol for bear protection, be sure to file off the front sight. That way it doesn't hurt so much when the bear takes it away from you and shoves it up your ass.
No contradictions there. An insulator is a barrier to conductive and convective heat transfer, but as long as it's transparent to photons, radiative heat doesn't even notice it. Spacecraft instruments that need low temperatures have steered radiators that are kept pointed at dark space.
Reasonable nitpick, but yes: "signal" in the signal processing context means a detected quantity whose variations may tell you something. Vibrations in the earth, detected by a seismograph, are signals.
What tehcyder said...sorry I wasn't clearer. A lot of people (at least, in online fora) would indeed call you an ex-patriot out of semiliteracy. And it's misleading as to what the motivations of an expat are.

Many people who do that are called "defense attorneys" or "prosecuting attorneys". If everybody does their job, it's a way of getting at the truth.

This robot is slow, awkward, and ponderous.
So is a man in a full fire suit.
It's not really autonomous at all, requiring a team of human operators.
In the Navy, that's called a "crew".
it's tethered by a large cable.
Aboard a ship, it's not going to have to ride a truck to the fire.
And it looks like even with the flimsy suit they dressed it in, it's wires and electronics would be highly vulnerable to burning/melting.
I believe you acknowledged it's still in development.

Yeah, this was a pretty intelligent discussion for /. until that one came over the transom.

More precisely, it's a list of the most common bad passwords. If nobody cracks your password, it doesn't get on the list.

Also, the queen survives.
OTOH, she doesn't in King Ralph. (Although that one is accidental, not intentional.)
Anti-virus pioneer John McAfee...guarantees they are not from North Korea.

Well, I'm glad you have a handle. I can have faith in you.
Sometimes, when you overthrow a repressive dictator, the first thing you get is a look at what he was repressing.

Over the years I've encountered two, maybe three people on these here intertubes who were convinced those were real laws of nature...
