Parent modded "Troll", but I would say that I'm not surprised since it would in the world of today in the US be classified as racism.
The fear of "Racism" has in my opinion gone too far in some cases - but at the same time the US government still classifies people as being of different classes like Caucasian, Hispanic, Black etc...
So it's forbidden to joke about black people frequenting KFC but it's OK to have a government label on people classifying them???
Unfortunately the likely to be pro-Israel raises if you are a Jew and decreases if you are a Muslim.
But being a Jew doesn't mean that you necessarily agrees with everything that happens in Israel.
In other words - which other sites can you suffer this on? I suspect that if the FBI comes in they can get a list of whatever they want as soon as they whisper "Terrorism" and "Patriot Act" - even if they are acting outside the US territory because a company owner providing a service in another company certainly doesn't want to end up on the terrorist list - which he/she will do if cooperation isn't provided.
The Patriot Act and several other items in control by the US government is working well outside the borders of the US.
AM stations are more or less exotic in many parts of Europe and are often secondary. In some cases AM is used more for international than national broadcast purposes. But people here will in general not notice if the AM radio stations goes offline - it's only a few die-hard listeners that cares.
And Sweden has - or is going to - shut down it's AM transmissions from the only transmitter that exists. Almost all traffic information goes on the FM band and is supported by the use of RDS that can interrupt the ordinary radio channel or CD played for the region where the traffic message applies. That system works on the FM band only.
So the simple way for this dude would have been to ask the storekeeper about permission. If given permission then it would have been sufficient to display a sign saying "camera monitored area". (every area today is in reality camera monitored - by mobile phones at least - so soon it may be easier to say when an area isn't.)
In that case it may only have been a fact to concern about the people in the pictures, but as long as it's for artistic purposes there is some room. If the pictures were for commercial purposes a shitload of additional permits would have been needed.
And the other way around - the government can control art by referring to terrorism. Way too much is filed under terrorism these days, soon it's enough to be drunk and pee on the wrong utility pole.
And as I read the article I was shortly flabbergasted by the fact that the hamburger chain McDonalds were involved in the police action until I realized that the artist actually was named McDonald.
Subsidizing has been tried before and it's a waste of money.
Unfortunately companies doesn't realize that offshoring construction in the long run is a bad idea because it doesn't develop their processes much and it drains the country from money. Automation of manufacturing processes will also mean that you have to get rid of employees but you will still keep the money circulation at home.
So in the end this means that the US and Europe are bound to lose if they can't cover for the trade deficit that appears. Combined with offshoring is also competence loss since a lot of competence comes from the living process.
Set up a requirement that no hardware capable of storing data may be pre-installed or formatted and that it has to be formatted and loaded only from trusted sources.
Many USB sticks and external harddisks are sold pre-formatted and pre-installed. And computers too.
It is especially important to avoid the fine fibers if you are a smoker since the combination of asbestos (or similar fibers) and smoking is the real trigger for lung cancer. Smoking hampers the ability of the lungs to keep themselves clean, the cancerous smoke particles sticks to the fibers and then penetrates the tissue wall in the lung.
But use a central vacuum cleaner that vents to outdoors and have it suck out the material at the point of work - that should cover for most of the problems. A normal indoor vacuum cleaner will just pass through the finer particles.
And it can also be very hard to have someone understand the code above the building block level.
It's one thing to have nice steady stable building blocks but if they are combined in a way that looks fine from a review perspective but are completely off the mark from a performance perspective then you have lost anyway.
It's important to get the overall picture right - even if the details look stupid. Some designs may actually have originated for performance reasons, reliability reasons or to avoid deadlocks. It's way too easy to shoot yourself and everyone else in sight in the foot by using an incorrect overall design. And those bugs are usually the worst ones - the system architect failing to understand and consider all factors.
I do know about architectural failures and how easy it is to make them because I have done a few myself. And those are almost never visible during a code review anyway - and often neither during testing. It's only when you get to odd production scenarios that you see them.
However there are tools that can help a lot when doing code review. But you also have to agree on certain policies and also agree on what shall be ignored since some review remarks dropped by those tools are just foolish or counter-productive.
As for testing - that's a later stage in the process of development.
Unfortunately the AC posting here may actually be right - the USA has declined the last decades.
But one factor that is mostly ignored when it comes to staying on top in high tech is that you do need to have manufacturing of it too, not just the research. This since a lot of info is fed back from experience, and that a few people stepping up the ladder of competence actually starts at the factory floor and have a lot of experience when it comes to what is feasible or not.
Education systems only go so far, experience is also needed in order to continue the progress. It is possible to simulate some things but not everything. In a simulation you see a lot of stuff, but you may never realize that to do what the simulation show is possible you need an extra elbow or eyes on your fingers.
That cable is what pays his salary. The TV:s are sold at a loss.
Buy TV at best buy, buy cable at Radio Shack (even if it may be overpriced there too I think that Radio Shack at least sucks a lot less than Best Buy).
The only thing that I would think matters between a cheap and an expensive cable is the general quality of the cable - contacts have better plating (gold plating), bond between contact and cable is better, better overall material choice that may make the cables less prone to tangle.
But that doesn't validate a step from $4 to $99 for a cable, but it may make it worth it to buy a $8 cable instead of a $4 cable, which may be the difference between sufficient and insufficient quality.

It may not be a hardware problem, it may be a problem that actually has more to do with the fact that Oracle owns MySQL.

You will have to wait for all cars to get an update to digital radio too.
Don't forget that FM radio is used in many cars and they have a tendency to cross country borders - even into the UK.
This can be an important issue when pushing traffic information and news.

You got the point.
And there was some irony in the statement too, but irony detectors are scarce.

But testing is not code reviewing.

And that's when it builds with no warnings whatsoever using the most paranoid settings and with a lint analysis that's silent. Then it's good enough.
Now the telemarketers can avoid employing people and have someone that can survive all insults ever thrown at them.
A loud penis is just another dickhead full of hot air, also belonging to the specimen of politician.
The only thing that you can afford is the Adidas Vehicle Collection | X-Wing Edition.
Still not as cool as the Star Wars style.
And that also means that they did tamper with evidence, which in turn is further endangering lives of others at least.
Anyone in to this should get a very hard sentence.

I'm willing to pay SEK 8.45 for that cable... That's probably what it costs to make it.

Just be aware that in Swedish "Token" means something completely different - more specific "Fool".
