No, I raise a glass in toast, in hopes they will be successful, and that they are the last to do what they are doing. For they would only be the last if no other troll firm ever tries this trick with copyright again...
I try to give examples of things that are more likely than being in a terrorist attack. (The 'security' doesn't tend to change these materially...) Things like being hit by lightning. Twice. Or suffocating in your bedding while you sleep. Or if you want good luck: You'll likely win the lottery a couple of times before you are in a terrorist attack.
There's almost no threat, realistically. Worry about crossing the road. That's more likely to kill you.
The new formfactor introduced in the Macbook Air sounds interesting, and already announced to be available from a couple of different manufacturers. It's basically the same size as a DIMM, but with the pins at the end instead of along one edge.
Don't forget that fiber is almost always either on government land, or land of some other private enterprise/person. That the government let the private companies use.
That's opt-in, not out, and they are giving the user a benefit in exchange. (Lower costs.) It's not being forced on people who don't want it, with no extra benefit to the consumer.
Because people are still arguing about some points. Which will then be discussed. And released for review. And then, maybe, declared 'final'.
Note that 'HTML5' is not the same as 'web page'. Most pages you visit are a mix of HTML4, CSS, and Javascript. (Which could be called EMCSAScript, and then be part of HTML4, but I digress.) HTML as a whole is an evolving standard that is constantly gaining new features and tweaking old ones as people learn what works, what doesn't, and find more and more things they'd like to do in a web browser. Which is good. But for the comparison of HTML to FTP, it's horrible, since FTP basically hasn't had any new wrinkles in it for at least 15 years.
13 years ago, IE6 was the most standards-compatible browser out there. (Ok, the Mac version was. The Windows one was slightly less so.) MS just sat on it once they won the first round of browser wars, while the standards kept evolving and their competition kept improving. Now MS is back in the game. Good. Let's see if they play nice and how long they decide to stay in it.
A contract is simply an agreement to exchange things of value. It doesn't require paper, signatures, or money. (Well, most. There are some exceptions. Purchase of real estate requires paper and signatures, for instance.)
Of course, if you want to actually prove what the contract was about, I'd get it written down. If you want to prove it was agreed to, I'd get signatures. If you want to prove something of value was exchanged, money is a good choice. Otherwise suing someone for breach of contract gets really messy.
You probably could make a legal case for this... But it wouldn't be easy. And I'm pretty sure the lawyer would want the fee up front. (What's the value? How can you prove it was known about and agreed to? etc.)
Actually, a good physicist should have been able to give an answer (or something close to it) as well...
Eventually, they will come to a point where they would be required to move less than 1.616252(81)×1035 meters closer together. From the uncertainty principle, we know we cannot measure position more accurately than that. So either they will not move at all, or they will superimpose at that point.
If they truly wanted to check whether the facts were correct, they wouldn't have called you. After all, you just sent it out, so of course you'd say it was correct.
If they wanted to check the facts correctly, they'd go to someone else and see if the facts agreed.
Um, yeah. MySQL, out of the box, using the defaults, doesn't support foreign keys now. You have to specifically create the tables with a non-standard SQL code to get them to use the right database backend to get foreign key support.
Unless you mean by 'support' 'Will silently accept and throw away'...
Foreign keys have been enabled and working by default in Postgres since version 7. (There was no version 5...) That was released just over ten years ago at this point.
My 'preconceive bubble' is based on my current job for the US government, and the situation we have in our department.
It might be true on average that government agencies are better at keeping their own infrastructure, especially if they can manage to keep their accounting and design of that infrastructure at a lower level. However, once those decisions pass the level from the internal to the external (or: From those hired for the job, to those elected/appointed into it), that long-term planning appears to break down, in favor of political squabbles.
Add in politics: Get a couple of representatives arguing over where the money (if any) should be spent, and all possibility of real redundancy and fault-tolerance go out the window.
It's true in larger government organizations than this. The failures just haven't occurred yet.
With a standard movie, when your eye can't focus on something it just files it into 'pattern on wall' and ignores it. In 3D, your eyes think they should be able to pick out objects and focus on them (because they can switch parallax to them), but they can't.
It's always possible it could evolve past this defense, but as a parasite it doesn't evolve as fast as a bacteria or virus. So if they can spread fast enough, it's possible the parasite wouldn't have the time.
As for how this variant would out-compete the normal... If it otherwise matches the normal, it's quite possible this would be enough in and of itself: It wouldn't be spending energy on feeding a common parasite, and therefore would be able to grow stronger & faster on the same amount of food as another mosquito that is infected.
Worst case really is if the trait waters down when they breed with regular mosquitos: Then it might be weak enough that some of the parasite survives, which would then be a way for it to get a chance at resistance...

I'm sure I am one sometimes. And I'm sure sometimes I'm not.
I'm never sure which time is which though.
Except the idiots who don't realize they are idiots.
Unfortunately, they have way to much say.

I suspect the fire department would have gone in if anyone's actual life were in danger, fee or no fee.
Of course, they'd just save the person's life, not stop the rest of the fire.
Not print on the box: Pass a law saying that only adults can buy them. And require ID checks.
(Although they might be able to get away with your version, in this case. For a while.)
Tobacco is for adults. These 'science' kits are for kids.
Anything is possible if you do it for the children.

He's in India. He wants to make sure when the job is outsourced to these kids they can do it correctly.

Also, it reminds me of the old rules requiring someone to walk ahead of automobiles with a bell, so you wouldn't scare the horses...
We have a car with an advantage (that it is silent at low speeds), and we cripple it because we aren't used to it.
And that he didn't actually finish in that time.

My guess? Visual Basic.
Simple: My job is to make sure computers run.
So, either I am wrongly educated or wrongly employed. Either way, hanging out here is better than contemplating my wreck of a life. ;)
Have you bought a book off of a big-chain's shelf? There's heavy marketing to get books on those shelves...
(Just because marketing isn't to the final consumer doesn't mean it doesn't exist.)
