With the exception of Los Angeles, where the train stops about a mile and half from the airport, and you need to transition to city buses to finish the trip.
You can't just go down to NewEgg or Micro Center with your credit card and submit an expense report -- it has to go through purchasing who will spend a week researching the cheapest price or steer the sale to whichever "preferred supplier" bribed them this year.
This. So much this.
I worked for a major defense contractor. We needed a piece of software and we needed it "yesterday". My manager told me (in writing) to go ahead and order it on "petty cash".
So, two weeks later, I and 6 others get called to talk to the VP of Engineering (who was not an engineer, but a bean-counter) to explain why we hadn't gone through proper channels. My manager was awesome and tried to take the heat for me, but to no avail. Turns out that he got called on the carpet for it too.
To this day, even though I no longer work there, I still consider myself one of the "Petty Cash Seven".
It was a small engineering firm, about 10 people total.
Me and this other dev were at an industry trade show with our boss (who was the owner of the company). We had a demo loop of some of our software running. Then, during some discussions between me, other dev, and the boss, it came out that our demo software was written in a different language than what Boss had thought. Even though we had told him it was written in language X instead of Y.
Anyways, said boss starts to go off on us, IN OUR TRADE SHOW BOOTH, ON THE FLOOR, where anyone can see. Other dev and I just sat there and took it, but I'm spending the whole time thinking, "Dude, there's a time and a place for everything, and this is not it."
The day we got home from that trade show was the day I started looking for a new job.
The US.gov won't re-make the mistake of classifying crypto as a munition, for one simple reason
It gives the crypto community another weapon (pun intended) to fight crypto bans..
To wit: If crypto is a munition, then it falls under the Second Amendment. Thus a crypto ban could be fought on both First and Second Amendment grounds. And while the.gov could try the "national security" defense against the 1Am argument, how could they piss off their base fighting a 2Am argument?
Memories... I wrote a Z80 emulator as well for my job. We were doing development for the Litton Briefcase Terminal (AN/PYC-1) and Digital Communications Terminal (AN/PSC-2).
We were developing on a Unix host (originally ZILOG ZEUS for Z8000, then SysV68K for MC68030). We had Z80's as slave I/O processors. I wrote an emulator (that also emulated some of our custom hardware (such as hardware swap segments).

I'll give you this one. Rocky Horror Picture Show sucks at home.
Undefined behavior can do anything.
"Anything" can include
1. Appearing to work "correctly"
2. Crashing with a core dump
3. Uploading your data to Alpha centauri
4. Formatting your hard drive
5. Asking if you want to play a game of Global Thermonuclear War
I've always treated "I could care less" as implied sarcasm, as in:
I could care less..... if I really, really tried hard.
Undefined behavior.
By RKO?
I assume that you are talking about a "late night, double feature, picture show"
That's why we loved the drive-in when our kids were little.
The answer is no.
That's good to know! I'm going to be in Amsterdam this summer!!!
Los Angeles isn't even listed.... probably because it would be off the charts for traffic.
Screw TFA's graph, even TFS said that it was weekly.
With the exception of Los Angeles, where the train stops about a mile and half from the airport, and you need to transition to city buses to finish the trip.
Actually, I have, and would rather use Motif thatn GNOME.
Christopher Walken is... writing the headlines?
Our Attorney-General has told us that it was all because of pot!!!!
iPic is pricey, but good. Small theatres, full-bore recliners, blankets, pillows, storage areas IN CHAIR, free popcorn, in-seat food and bar service.

Psychopathic CEOs Are Rife, Experts Say
There. Fixed the headline for you.
In other words, why should Silicon Valley be any different?
This is why Eisenhower PERSONALLY visited the camps. So that he could say he was there and saw it with his own eyes.

You had stone engraving?
We had to make mud tablets, and wait for metamorphic pressure to turn them into rock.

Crap. Pedants, not Pendants.
Stupid auto-correct.
Pedants are alliterative because Pendants Point-out Problems.
