It is our official unofficial language (why the hell can't they just codify this and end all arguments?).
Official means that official docs are in that language. It doesn't mean you need to learn english to function - that's a cultural issue. I really don't care, though. I just want to boot the illegals and reap the lower load on border hospitals, lower insurance because we won't have some guy in a 20 year old truck that doesn't know how to drive driving around socal, less crime overall, and somewhat higher agriculture costs.
I'm not sure about where the FAA's flight plan software falls in, but I'm guessing that since it's not safety critical, and only an operational risk...
Considering that flight plans exist to prevent planes from crashing into one another, I'd lump them into your category of "safety critical."
Last I looked, this was mainly an issue near airports - airspace is really huge, and I don't see flight corridors as hugely risky.
Why would someone be AGAINST security cameras being pointed at their property, when other people pay hefty sums to set them up for security?
Because it's their choice and their decision on how to use the recordings.
To be honest, I think being able to go down to my local police station, saying "My house got broken into this weekend, could you guys check the tapes" would be WAY more convenient then the quote unquote "inconvenience" of being watched.
Way more kids are killed in swimming pools than from firearms and nobody wants to ban those. Seriously, this is hardly a serious threat, and I can hardly support writing laws based on the hysterical screeching of someone who watches too much CNN.
As such, their primary (and according to some, only) obligation is to the bank accounts of their officers and shareholders. If there's a commercial value to the information, they likely consider it immoral to not sell the information for whatever price the market will bear.
Bullshit. A corporation's duty is to fill their charter. They aren't required to sacrifice everything for profit or even to be particularly good. I so hate this idiotic argument.
If I had a crooked friend at the power company, he could tell me when someone in a house I want to rob usually goes to work and also when they do so on a given day.
Yes. Bug trackers should have statuses like "Developer in denial" for situations like that. (Mozilla's bug tracker has a "WORKSFORME" status which is used far too much.)
I'm sorry, that's code for 'Gimme a test case worth a damn!'
what'd be cool is multi-channel SATA - if the host can see that one device is on the other side of multiple channels, it can just bond them together and send/receive data on whatever I/F is free at the moment.
Says the man who can't tell supply from demand. You not being able to find a market means demand goes down. Current drug busts haven't got a chinese chance in hell of affecting supply - pot is cheap, and it's the largest illegal drug crop in the US by dollars (accordingly to clearly fuzzy studies - it is illegal, after all). Cocaine is (again, according to second hand reports) cheaper now than in the 80s, so I don't see supply of much of anything being choked.
which conveniently allows you to ignore the results you don't like and go on to rant about socially imposed gender roles. You or DJRumpy - not sure which ones are the feminist crusaders and which ones are just trying to find things out anymore.
"Why aren't schools spending $200 per student to buy these lesson plans (that must be effective if people are buying them) instead of spending $200 per student to buy garbage books that only has different problems, so they force everyone to upgrade every 2 years?"
No, they only do that in college. In HS, they use the same books for 30 years.
We've lost sight of this - really, you should only be tossing someone in jail if it's reasonable that their danger justifies the trial. You can't really make the calculation explicit, but spending $300k to prosecute someone for possession is too much.
The end result of my work is a working product. The end result of a teacher's work is an educated child. It's reasonable to claim the code I write at work as company property - not so much with the teacher.
Obviously lesson plans produced at government funded public schools should be kept free and open so that they can be effectively refined and tailored for specific environments.
How is this obvious? It's not like making lesson plans is their job.

I’ve just had an epiphany.
I hear there's a pill for that.

So don't tell them you live in Brooklyn. Say you're in Worst Hampton or something and anything really big will still get to you.
biological attacks don't disrupt infrastructure.
Except pig flu. That has the potential to overload regional networks with a pile of sick techies telecommuting.
I'm disappointed - this was a perfect opportunity for a Bender quote

You didn't even read what drfreak said, which was about using Access as a front end and using MSSQL Server to store the data.
Sure, until you hit an access frontend-based data corruption bug. I wouldn't use access for anything where I cared about the data.

Get real, they won't ever do that.
Way more kids are killed in swimming pools than from firearms and nobody wants to ban those. Seriously, this is hardly a serious threat, and I can hardly support writing laws based on the hysterical screeching of someone who watches too much CNN.
bullshit. Regardless, the 2nd doesn't say that arms are for the militia, it says that the militia is one reason for having arms.

It's not read latency that matters at all, it's total THROUGHPUT for the smallest, random, reads and writes.
And that throughput is dominated by latency in HDDs. Much less so for SSDs.

When did Beethoven ever publish something under copyright?

State legislators should place that work in the public domain so it can be easily reused
What right does a state rep have to strip me of my copyright?
Teachers do get paid by the school to create lesson plans
No, they're paid to teach students and given time for grading and lesson plans.
Obviously lesson plans produced at government funded public schools should be kept free and open so that they can be effectively refined and tailored for specific environments.

So your two objects have the same V at one point on their orbits, but different A. What's your point, exactly?
My brother (straight out of a liberal arts college) got a job at a competitive company that used a language he'd never touched before.
Most languages are the same - if you've handled imperative languages and also some functional ones, picking another one up is easy.
