I see your 1980 mini-computer who's calendar lasts until 2030, and raise with a 1979 mini-computer who's time spans from 1859 to 31068, in 100ns intervals!
At a minimum, the people in jail for pretrial detention deserve access to their families and support system at a better rate than $3.75 for a 15 minute local call.
You're absolutely right. But it's not within the FCC's purview to regulate intra-state commerce.
Both of those very common activities are extreme dangers of software development.
Because people who have learned the lessons are continuously pushed out to make room for the latest know-it-all hotshots with their hip Comp Sci languages.
When I was first taught to code in FORTRAN, we were told that we really needed to create a flow chart detailing every statement before writing any code.
Well, flowcharts are useful -- damned useful, in fact -- when you have to type punch cards!
Those days are long gone, and we now have languages with features that allow us to directly transcribe our ideas without intermediate formats
Because of languages which developed at the same time that VDTs became common.
I get the distinct impression that the two sides in this debate are not only talking past one another but talking about two separate and distinct topics.
It would be interesting to poll women on their attitudes to "penises with dresses" (if you can have "vagina monologues", we can have "penises with dresses") in their bathrooms.
And the proposed solution is to force trans men to go into women's bathrooms to trim their beards, because there is no way that could be used as an excuse by a non-trans man.
What???
This reminds me of the panic when people realized that gay men can enter the men's locker room with young boys.
No one ever got harmed when I drank and drove, either.
Hell, most likely he was a pervert who heard all the right wing pundits saying perverts were allowed in change rooms now so he decided to give it a try and failed!
No need for right-wing pundits: it's the first thing that I -- and many other men I know -- knew would happen.
"those who identify as men and those who identify as women."
It was a busy time at Evans Pool around 5:30pm Monday February 8. The pool was open for lap swim. According to Seattle Parks and Recreation, a man wearing board shorts entered the women's locker room and took off his shirt. Women alerted staff, who told the man to leave, but he said "the law has changed and I have a right to be here."
the man returned a second time while young girls were changing for swim practice.
The University of Toronto (U of T) is temporarily changing its policy on gender-neutral bathrooms after two reports of voyeurism in a student residence.
Two women showering in Whitney Hall, a residence at U of T's University College, reported they saw a cellphone reach over the shower-stall dividers in an attempt to record them, in two different incidents, police Const. Victor Kwong told The Toronto Star.
"The purpose of this temporary measure is to provide a safe space for the women who have been directly impacted by these events and other students who may feel more comfortable in a single-gender washroom in the wake of these incidents."

I am also fond of the notion that the Federales have the power to intervene in some cases where the States' have their heads up their arse.
There's always the 8th Amendment, arguing that such expensive phone calls are "excessive fines".

Rather the opposite, actually. See Hawes-Cooper Act in 1929, the Ashurst-Sumners Act and the Walsh-Healey Act.
I looked at those Acts, and don't see how they relate to the FCC regulating intra-state commerce.
You'd think. But activists are very anti-democratic; thus their love of "rule by the few".

they most likely thought the older 32-bit devices would have fallen out of support and no longer be in use before that happened.
Famous last words since year numbers were encoded as YY to save space. "These systems will be redesigned long before the year 2000!!!!"
Bit packing metadata into the game number is short sighted.
And archaic! It's 2017, not 1977!!
LOL
these are Nixon-style tactics!
Clouds and rain do not block all light or even most of it. Solar panels do in fact generate energy while it's raining.
You'll have to prove to me that they generate electricity when the clouds are so dark that street lights come on in the middle of the day.
Someone in California has forgotten that it can rain in non-snowy regions. It can even be heavily clouded when it doesn't rain.
How does a single species evolve in multiple places?
See, or... statistically estimate?
That's... less than 2%. Naturally, we want it to be 0%, but 1.8% is nothing to generate scare headlines over.

I probably still have my flowchart template from Introduction to Computers in 1993
They had me do it in 1983, and I know that flowcharts were around in 1963...
I also remember 4GL flow chart code generators in the mid-1980s, and their promise of "programs without paying programmers". What a joke that was.
"Paying for someone else to sue" is NOT the same as filing your own suit.
what standing does the EFF have to sue the FBI? (Third parties can't sue wrong-doers; only the allegedly-wronged party can sue.)
I bet there are a lot more pervs than there are people like Buck Angel.
because otherwise the men will just rape the women immediately.
Absolutist crap like this is where I stop reading and brand you an ass.
I get the distinct impression that the two sides in this debate are not only talking past one another but talking about two separate and distinct topics.
So the problem is voyeurs, not trans people.
And more dangerous pervs.

I must have missed that one.
Creepy but no one got harmed.

"those who identify as men and those who identify as women."
And how do you enforce that?
And what form does this "perving out" take? Please enlighten us.
Why should I have to justify to you what creeps women out?
