I suppose it would make the line outside the Pearly Gates move a little more quickly.
There's no line at the Pearly Gates. If for no other reason than lack of customers. No matter what the guy in front of you says, that inscription above the entrance, "Lasciate ogne speranza voi ch'intrate", is not Church Latin for "Welcome to the Kingdom of God".
Governments seem to have this odd fascination with the idea of transitioning the world into a cashless society.
Nothing odd about it. It's harder to evade taxes without cash. Though if governments were to succeed in eliminating cash, I suspect that organized crime would likely create its own equivalent thereof. And informal barter economies would become more prevalent.
The important thing to remember about a TRO is that it isn't the final judgement in the case; instead, its simply something that is available because lawsuits take time, and so courts need a way to restrain actions that might cause irreparable harm while the case is working its way through the system.
In theory. In practice, particularly when there's a large disparity of power between the two parties, getting the TRO is as good as winning. You get the TRO, then drag the case out until the defendant runs out of money or drops dead.
That's because GPL v.3 shot itself in the foot, making it impossible to create GPL v.3 licensed software that implements something that is patented.
No, it isn't. Anyone who neither holds the patent nor a license for the patent can create as much GPL v.3 licensed software that implements it as they care to. This may infringe the patent, but it does not infringe the GPL.
Our parents failed so miserably that the only way to catch cheaters is with technology. Cause it's too hard to raise them to be upstanding adults.
The better you can catch cheaters, the better those who are upstanding adults will do. An honor system with no verification at all merely rewards the dishonorable.
My biggest pet peeve about wearing glasses is that they'll only correct you to 20/20 (in the hopes that your eyes will fix themselves over time). I've been wearing glasses for almost thirty years now. It's a safe bet that I'll always need them, so why not start giving me 20/15 lenses at least?
They don't; they correct your vision to the best they can achieve with 0.25 (usually) diopter increments.
Of course not. The US government isn't going to go through the trouble of having ISPs insert malicious Javascript, when they can just send a few agents over to Facebook (and/or the ISPs) and set up a tap sending all data directly to the NSA instead. A lot more reliable and less detectable by the victim.
Iterators are one of the most critical parts of c++ that help make generic programming powerful and efficient. You can reduce the complexity, increase conciseness and simplify logic for all containers in a generic case using templates and iterators. When you don't understand a language, it is very easy to find a strawman.
There's nothing at all wrong with the concept of iterators. It's the C++ implementation that's a disaster, in terms of the horrible syntax it requires.
The AC above who suggested the use of this particular expression: "[]( int i ){// do things }" demonstrated my point quite well, I think. Not that it actually works.
for(std::container_type::iterator i = some_container.begin(); i != some_container.end(); i++) {// do things }
This is just one of MANY reasons C++ needs to die. Just about every interaction with the STL is like this. And suppose you're going through multiple parallel containers (what python calls "zip")? Then the new sugar doesn't work except for one container.
C++ is the language which allows you to just about anything, but nothing that is all of complex, clear, and efficient. No amount of hacked-on extras are going to solve the problem.
Don't you mean "Capture"? A dress that eliminates pollutants could be just as bad as good. One that acts as a carbon sink, however, could serve some purpose... somewhere... I guess.
The mob invented clothing which acts as a carbon sink some time back. Indeed, it is very useful. It was shoes, though, not a dress.
Because they are private companies, they aren't held to any such standards. The real solution is to have the records held by the government with a government rating. I know the Libertarians go apeshit over such a suggestion, but it couldn't be worse than what we have now.
It doesn't even take much of an imagination to figure out how it could be worse. You've heard of the no-fly list, right? Unelected bureaucrats put you on a secret list for any reason or no reason, and you can't get on a commercial flight. And they aren't too careful either. Now imagine the same thing applied to credit reports. Credit reports used by banks, landlords, employers, credit card companies, etc. Now imagine that the the story gets out that various anti-government protestors, or Wikileaks followers, or people who post nasty YouTube videos about the TSA (or Credit Security Agency), mysteriously end up on this list.... maybe you'll think twice before complaining, eh, citizen?
luckily in the US they don't look at your credit rating when you buy a house, or so two years worth of news reports would have me believe
I believe it was the same in the UK, but the problem is that in both places that fun situation ended in 2008. Nowadays to buy a house you need spotless credit, six months of bank records, sufficient liquid assets to cover the down payment and 6 months of property tax, two months of paystubs (even if you haven't got that many, because YOU JUST MOVED TO START THE NEW JOB), and a note from your mother (UK only).
(No, I'm not exaggerating. Except about the note from your mother. Maybe.).
If I wanted to put Symantec out of business, I could very profitably sell pirated Norton Antivirus and drop a few dozen units off at the post office nearest Symantec's corporate HQ, with a return address label that has their address on it. Symantec would be stuck with the burden of proof that they didn't ship the product.
The green colour mentioned in the article is simply the fact that hot oxygen emits radiation at a specific wavelength that is not actually green, but has to be represented as a colour in telescope images for us to view. This wavelength just happens to be represented as green by Hubble. It was Blue in the galaxyzoo image (supplied by the Sloan automatic survey scope).
How long the corporate world will see that CMMI and ITIL are the (very expensive) equivalent of 'power crystals' and astrology?! Oh yeah, that's right, NEVER
Some of the smarter(?) ones already have. Unfortunately, they believe in power crystals because their personal astrologer told them they work.
when you're the person at the top: you better have earned the trust and respect of those under you. Subverting it does nobody any good in any long term.
For some people, the whole point in earning trust is to exploit that trust with an eventual betrayal. The greater the trust, the more lucrative the betrayal.
I'm quite sure you could zap and/or stretch vat-grown muscle once in a while to get it in shape. It's being done to comatose patients, why not to bits of cow?
Probably could, but try doing all the things you need to do on an industrial scale while keeping it at least as cheap as using cattle.
Considered as a machine for producing meat, cattle are pretty darn good. They take in low-cost and low-quality raw materials most of the time. They do their own exercising of the meat. They'll carry the meat where you want it, given a little prodding. And of course, some of them can also act as a cattle-making machine instead of a meat-making machine, thus reducing your tooling costs.
And while they produce many by-products while making the meat, they're pretty much all useful. The skin can be used to make leather, the bones for gelatin, even the manure can be used for fertilizer. Aside from the "moo", about all you can't practically use is cow farts, though people have tried.
Human need zero meat. Vegetarians have been demonstrating this since at least the time of Pythagoras, and despite the propaganda from the animal flesh industry and from those with an irrational religious or cultural attachment to flesh-eating, the scientific consensus is quite explicit::
My ancestors didn't claw their way to the top of the food chain so I could eat a fucking carrot.
Suddenly the words "don't retreat, reload", "Kill him" etc. have such a heavy weight to them. What a senseless act, one cannot help but think that such vitrol and caustic rhetoric had some part to do with this heinous act. But who will bring the shock jocks, demagogues to justice? Who will take them to task and not let them hide behind "free speech" specious arguments?
Shame on you, to use this horrid and senseless act to advance your anti-American pro-censorship agenda.
"Nor should their citizens need a license to grow a plant."
You do realize every major illegal narcotic comes from "a plant", right? Cocaine is from coca leaf, heroin is from opium.
Crystal meth, on the other hand, is typically produced from pseudoephederine, which is not typically plant-derived. Though there are other ways to produce it which are.
Are you suggesting that all of these drugs be made legally available to anyone that wants them without even as much as a license?

I once wrote such a guide, but my lawyers advised me that a how-to might be trouble. So I rewrote it as a poem entitled "The Rock and the Window".
Way to spot 'em, Captain Obvious.

The problem is it's been added in a haphazard way. This is a language where a major feature (template metaprogramming) occurred _by accident_.
This is just one of MANY reasons C++ needs to die. Just about every interaction with the STL is like this. And suppose you're going through multiple parallel containers (what python calls "zip")? Then the new sugar doesn't work except for one container.

The scenic route is. There's an expressway to the same place paved with lies and evil intentions.
Not necessarily. End of life care, for instance. Or if an actual cure simply isn't known, such as for arthritis.

Maybe he's not, but I am.
