It could be a combination of wanting every input field to look the same and wanting to severely limit bugs stemming from invalid input, as well as having to accept 1957, '57, and 57 all as the same year. A dropdown may not be the most userfriendly, but it keeps things simple.
Which is really a shame, because rap COULD be an entertaining music form.
The gangsta rap, which seems to be the only kind being made now, never really took off in my country. Instead rap became more a style of putting together strange and often rather amusing rhymes - without all the edgelord crap of saying fuck every third word, talking about bitches, niggas etc. Paraphrasing and translating one song I recall from a decade ago:
He's cool, he's tough, can do as he wishes ... Unless the girlfriend tells him to do the dishes
Yes... being deprived of two out of five senses, specifically the two used the most in detecting the world around you is definitely the same as winning the lottery.
In this case, streaming means "transferring data from a server to a device for the sole purpose of viewing" and downloading means "transferring data from a server to a device for the sole purpose of having your own copy of the media".
Phew. I never download just because I want a copy, but because I want to watch it at some point.
Well duh, Google was the source and Google's motto is Do No Evil. Ergo ipso facto summa Sauron, four Presidents were high-ranking official Klan members.
But until this crashes and burns (likely literally), small towns, rural areas etc. are going to have a problem with stores closing due to lack of revenue, much akin to book stores, game stores and other kinds of stores that can't really compete in a brick&mortar vs. internet fight.
They are only WORKING in the mines and in the dangerous dumps beating out heavy metals from electronic garbage because bleeding-hearts in the Western world couldn't stand to think that their clothes were made by child labor, in relatively safe tailoring mills.
So all the kids got fired, but they still needed to feed their families...
Basically, this is treating the symptom, not the root cause of the problem. You might as well tell someone with a broken arm to take an aspirin and it'll all be better as you can tell impoverished African nations to cease all child labor at once because it is Bad(tm).
Downloading traffic info to the real-time updated GPS so you can avoid construction work, streaming the radio signal rather than going OTA, maybe listening to a streamed audio book instead, built-in VoIP so you don't need to fiddle with your phone...
The issue only arises if the video is required for a future trial. Hell, high-def video of what she looked like when the officers arrived on the scene might even be used as evidence IN HER FAVOR.
If the video is never requested for trial (maybe nothing happened, maybe there was a plea bargain or whatever) it just sits and collects proverbial dust on a hard drive somewhere.
Someone downloading a copy of a book does not deprive the publisher of the ability to keep selling that book. A publisher blocking any and all use of a book no longer in print for the next 80 years IS depriving everyone else of using that book for anything.
I don't know about your SatNav, but mine specifically states every time it turns on that it should NOT be operated while actually driving. If you're cruising along in the city, eyes on the satnav to look for the road you need, or maybe setting it up to search for your next destination, and you hit someone - yes, you get prosecuted. You were not exercising due care and caution while piloting what is essentially a ground-based ballistic missile.
I am impressed with the questions. These are questions that any competent programmer should be able to answer, but a non-programmer (such as a shoe or underwear bomber) would not have a clue. This actually seems like a pretty good test.
Call me incompetent, then. I've been making a decent living as a software engineer in this country for 25 years, having graduated from a reasonably prestigious school with a 4 years CS degree. Not once since college have I ever had a need to write code to construct or balance a tree on my own. I doubt very much that I could come up with a function to balance a tree out of the blue with no prep or review, nor is there much real world need for most developers to do so.

Which is the same problem with saying that it's only censorship if the government does it, not if private companies do it.
The end-run around the Constitution can be summed up in one terrifying word: Outsourcing.
Moderated troll for quoting the summary, that's a new one!
'Nuff said.
What a pity that they deleted the evidence before the hackers got hold of the REST of the emails.
The day they push an update that bricks all affected machines a couple of weeks later ...

Yes, set that to a rap beat.

Water is used in nuclear power plants, therefore your morning coffee is radioactive. Same logic.
No, we shouldn't. But we shouldn't try to make the less developed countries build Rome in a single day, either.
Your well substantiated and exceedingly accurately sourced rebuttal has caused me to conclude that you must be totally right.

Dude, it's right there in the title and the third word in the summary.

You got that backwards.

I am pretty sure that Franklin didn't mean to impose anarchy and Might Makes Right rules.
How about no phone-checking in running vehicles, period?
There's a safety campaign in my country at the moment with a slogan that basically translates to, "Drive when you drive." Very sane advice.
Yeah, imagine if a kid walked by and saw one of those fucking movies! ;-)

Not to mention after 24-30 hours on a plane.
