Travelled 61.490 miles relative to what? Pick you frame of reference appropriately and you can assign arbitrary movement to any object (subject to relativistic constraints).
I've worked as a programmer and as a contracts lawyer. I can safely say that automation of the programming job is an easier thing that automation of the legal job.
To do contracts you have to gather information and negotiate with the other side. These things are about human interaction. Reaching agreement is a negotiation - it requires interpersonal skills, a good understanding of your client's priorities, and those of the people on the other side. It's very hard to automate.
Now - there is some high street type legal work that's essentially a question of identifying the correct template and filling in the blanks, but that's only a small part of legal practice.
You have a laptop running windows 10. The hdd is encrypted with bitlocker. MS have a copy of the recovery key.
That means that, in theory, MS and anyone they're prepared to share the key with can decrypt the contents of your HDD.
Presumably there was a reason that you encrypted your hdd in the first place, so there at least some people that you don't want to be able to decrypt it (otherwise encrypting it was a waste of time).
One difficulty is that you can't know for sure who really can get hold of that recovery key - some MS employee being blackmailed by a third party, for example.
Now on a practical level using Windows 10 and bitlocker, even given all of the above, is better than not encrypting at all. In the case of losing your laptop, with sensitive work materials on it ( a reason why many people encrypt HDDs) it's unlikely that whoever finds your laptop will be able to get hold of the recovery key from MS.
My laptop has a tpm chip - I understand that on balance this is supposed to help, but where does this fit into the landscape compared with the two alternatives in the summary?
Any company with international interests will care very much what other western nations (if not Tajikistan) think. If a court in (say) England rules that something is owned by someone other than the US company then it could be a huge problem for that company. Multinational companies ignore the rulings of courts in any country where they hope to do business or have assets at their peril.
Clearly we need a well funded study, followed by publication in a prestigious journal to substantiate finding about the difficulty of eating ravioli in the dark...
Arguments from mathematical or physical theories or axioms miss the point.
When writing code we need to understand how our code will behave over it's possible inputs. There's nothing inherently wrong with deciding that in a particular bit of code you're going to ensure that "dividing" by 0 gives you 0 (for example), as long as you know what the consequences are for the behaviour of the programs relying on this.
The reason mathematicians get upset by this is that this is not what is normally understood by division. Division by zero isn't defined. Whatever we do in our programs isn't going to change that
The police should be interested in criminal offences, not civil matters. Copyright is complicated because (in the UK at least) infringement can be both, but the two aspects get conflated. The criminal offences (broadly) are to do with dealing in infringing items for profit, and it's reasonable that the police pursue people committing such offences.
The issue of whether these things *should* be offences is a separate matter. What we don't want is the police deciding which offences they're going to try to enforce. If society doesn't want criminal copyright infringement then that should be for legislators to decide, not law enforcement.
VMs are in some ways better than dual boot - you can switch between linux and windows applications without the need to reboot.
I run an Ubuntu VM under Hyper-V on my Windows 8.1 Pro Thinkpad Yoga. The linux filesystem is made available to the host as an SMB share, so files are accessible from host and guest OS.
Cygwin is also a good thing on windows machines in any case.
I'm not drinking alcohol at all this year (just as an experiment - I'm not a recovering alcoholic or anything like that). I don't think that this has made any difference to my socialising.

So essentially, if you have someone next to you who's eaten all the pies, you get a smaller seat?
... despite the aspirations of some politicians.
The point is that "leak" is misleading. If it's MS informing us about one of their products, then it's not a "leak".

Yup - I did it way back when moocs where a new thing. It was a good course then. Presumably the content is much the same now.
If spend the cost of a Windows licence on better hardware how does the performance compare?

Cygwin with openssh works fine. Putty is OK. But for things you use regulary, scripts and SSH are nicer.
If you don't think the law creates value then try doing business in a place without an effective legal system.
:/

You're surprised by politicians being scientifically clueless? I guess you can't be an American....
So what? Genes don't need to be the *sole* cause and predictor of behaviour in order for the theory to be a reasonable one.
You might think that, but I've been married for 23 years. That's not the situation...
I'm not sure what you're saying.

A lot of people have mention brands - like ipad, but there's surely more to it than that - not all ipads are the same.
A large high resolution display is better able to clearly display a reasonable amount of text at a higher zooms.
Is power density typically an issue?
What you "like" is entirely up to you; but, in practice, we *do* have to put up with it, for the foreseeable future at least.
