And sentencing could be completed on day two if the purpose of justice were rehabilitation and not revenge (which legal types call "retribution"), because everyone who commits a violent crime would get the same sentence: banishment from society until the person is no longer a danger to others.
The moment you throw in a few spaces to line something up on a non-tab boundary (say, to align a second line of arguments with the first argument), then you have a mess...
Not if both lines have the same number of tabs, and no tab ever follows a non-tab character on the same line.
The article describes how scientists painstakingly gathered data on the quakes, and then tried to find ways to communicate the results--which are quite definitive--to politicians who often have financial reasons to disbelieve them.

Why is teaching to the test a bad thing? Is it because the test does not measure the skills students are expected to be learning? Or is it because teachers depend on repeated drills with old test questions to prepare students?
Neither one points to an insurmountable flaw with standardized testing.
had an idiot reprogram the brake software. Sure he's 'liable' but you're now dead...
I think the real issue is that manufacturers don't want you to even look at the code, probably because they would be embarrassed at what you might find.
I think it's more likely that the male co-pilot could overpower the female flight attendant while the pilot is in the lavatory--no conspiracy necessary.
Putting guns in cockpits only makes the task easier.
Really what's needed is to have 3 people in the cockpit at all times to eliminate the near-guarantee that a single person could take over the plane.
It would also help to give airliners a "return to home" feature that could be triggered from outside the cockpit, similar to the emergency brake on passenger planes.
You have a good point, but H1Bs are slave labor because it gives the employer power to kick an employee not just out of the company but out of the country. It's tough for locals to compete in that market.
C assumes you will choose an integer size that won't overflow in your application. If you don't, that's a bug, even if C provided the run-time ability to detect overflows. So making a run-time error the default behavior when it causes a measurable performance hit on most platforms (excluding MIPS and Alpha) doesn't really make sense in a low-level language like C.
Half a cent per gallon is 7,727 times MORE per gallon than a Los Angeles resident typically pays if they manage to stay in Tier 1 pricing all year.
According to your link, water is $4.832 per HFC (748 gallons), which is $0.00646 per gallon. That's more than half a cent.
Also, tiered pricing is unfortunate in the way that it rewards the wealthy (who generally use the most water) for conserving a gallon of water more than it rewards the poor for doing the same thing.
Did you know that roads are not public goods? A public good is non-rivalrous, meaning that its use by one individual does not reduce availability to others, but you can only fit so many cars on a road at a time and therefore roads are rivalrous and fail the test of a public good.

...when everyone is paid fairly?
Sure, but this is about salaried employees.

Do you have an example of a principle of computer science or information theory that cannot be tested?
Why is teaching to the test a bad thing? Is it because the test does not measure the skills students are expected to be learning? Or is it because teachers depend on repeated drills with old test questions to prepare students?

The other half is companies that don't properly secure their information systems. And with a law like this in place, there's even less reason to.
You're talking about aerial drones. What about ground drones?
Aren't there any ways to get us a step closer to the goal of equal opportunity for all that doesn't take away freedoms?
After correcting for cultural differences (e.g. Asians focus on education more than other races), does your claim still hold true?
No, but it would be nice to have one where everybody has the exact same amount of opportunity.

That same logic can be used to justify data mining of social networks.
When deciding whether to break up a monopoly, does it really matter how it formed?
A government's role should be: (pick one)
1. Break up monopolies, reduce barriers to market entry, and encourage competition, or
2. Regulate the behavior of monopolies.
Net Neutrality attempts to do #2.

I very highly doubt that, because demand for water isn't perfectly inelastic. Nothing is.
RO of saltwater costs less than half a cent per gallon, so it's not very expensive at all.

Given that demand for electricity isn't perfectly inelastic (in fact, nothing is), your idea is actually very feasible.
