Programming language: The computer executes a sequence of commands.
DNA: The cell translates genes into proteines which then either get part of the structure of the cell, or perform a specific, continuous function until they are destroyed.
Maybe an FPGA would be a better analogy to DNA, because there again the code isn't executed but determines the elements which perform the requested function.
It's hers to sell. She shouldn't have to justify it to you or anyone else. You're an ass for suggesting that she should. Being neither a member of the family or the Nobel comity, it's none of your damned business.
So you are saying that he is not or should not be allowed to express his opinion on this? I for one would not want to live in a land where you cannot do that.
As soon as you have control of the computer, you can modify anything you want, including the Firefox configuration, and there's absolutely nothing Firefox can do to avoid it. Anything Firefox can do to its own configuration, any other program running with the same privileges can do as well.
The only way to prevent that would be if the OS implemented a fine-grained privilege system where basically every application gets its own security context. But then, that still would not protect against the antivirus program (which needs complete access in order to do its job). OTOH, on such a system, AV programs would probably be unnecessary anyway.
I'm less concerned about small guys doing it because by being small, the data they gather will be more sparse and less useful. It is exactly the big ones who collect a threatening amount of data.
But of course the best thing is if they don't get any data at all, no matter if big or small. Thanks to AdBlock Plus and RequestPolicy, they don't even get the chance to request a cookie.
Unfortunately sites these days tend to spread over many different domains, and use third-party JavaScript necessary for operation directly from third-party sites, with domain names where it is often hard to guess what they are for, so getting a web site to work without enabling some unnecessary stuff keeps getting harder.
Indeed. Why do they need to vote at all? God could simply inscribe the name of the pope on the wall.
God does inscribe the name of the pope he wants on a wall. However the church simply does not understand that no name appearing on the wall means that god doesn't want a pope at all.:-)
Why would you scale them up? There's no reason why all apps have to be fullscreen all the time.
One possible way to handle this could be to give an app a "natural size" (possibly user configurable, but with a sane default), and if the screen is larger than the application's natural size, it starts windowed, otherwise it starts fullscreen. A phone app would likely have a relatively small natural size, while a web browser will have a relatively large one. And a movie player might have a natural size large enough that it starts fullscreen even on large desktop displays.
There's no problem. You can use spaces or tabs, but you HAVE to be consistent when you use one or the other. So if you indent a line with a tab, all sibling and child lines MUST start with a tab... multiple spaces don't count. You can even mix, but you still have to be consistent, so if you use tab space space, all later siblings and child lines must start with tab space space.
So what happens if I start the next line with spaces?
If I were to register a trademark for my new company, during the process of making up a name, the first thing I'd do is to use it as search query in Google to see if anyone may be using it. Wikipedia's entry on nr. 10 is the first that's not about the programming language.
Someone else here reported position 5 for the Wikipedia entry. This is already a strong hint that the positions you see are absolutely not indicative on what others see. And certainly not about what others would have seen 17 years ago.
Just for the record, I get the Wikipedia entry for the snake at position 4. However that's the German language article...

Being smart enough to not criticize Putin?

Do you any source that Pete really wants that? :-)
Temperature has nothing to do with what defines a desert.
Otherwise in "hot desert planet" the "hot" would be redundant. Your point being?

I didn't know that there's also a Nobel prize for fucking. How do they determine the laureates?
I'm sorry, but this is abuse. Argument is next door, room 12A.
That means nothing. After all, H. G. Wells invented the time machine. :-)
Courts are not elected by votes, so lobbying doesnt generally work on them.
Try again.
Court decisions depend on the law which is made by politicians on whom lobbying tends to be quite effective.

Yeah, that would probably be the best option. However I've found no place where I can download the needed time for that. :-)

nas = network attached storage
car = first element of a dotted pair
So someone had a pair of network attached storage devices, and the first one crashed. :-)
I don't think many phone manufacturers feel the urge to modify libc.
Or that many people moved away from Ubuntu and don't really care any more.
What does it mean to mute a window?
That will get interesting with phone support ...
"OK, now please reboot your computer ... hello? ... Hello? ... HELLO?"
Actually, all the car showrooms which existed at that time were overcrowded with visitors. :-)

A planet or a dwarf planet?
I mean, if Pluto is not allowed to be a planet, then why should such a small object be labelled as one?
... running on a JVM written in JavaScript.
Is that the new name for the company? :-)
