Uh, that's Cuban-Canadian... At least according to Trump and "people who are talking about this".
Or is that Cruz? I can't tell them apart:-)
Cruz.
The whole thing is hilarious because Cruz claims to be a constitutional 'originalist' and believes that interpretation of law etc should be based on the original meaning of the constitution as the framers understood it. And then goes on to say 'except that bit about natural born citizen'.
Thanks.
Politicians (and partisan people) are great at using and rationalizing "except for the " arguments.
Age doesn't matter. Usefulness does. My top language: Perl - First appeared 1987; 29 years ago.
The concept of hell isn't new either....
I imagine that the concept of Hell is probably pretty useful - or were you referring to Perl?:-)

Sure, Perl writes terse programs... but to me, valid Perl code is indistinguishable from line noise!
They don't have to be terse / line noise and mine aren't. I learned that lesson a long time ago when I looked at some code I had written a few years prior and thought WTF does that do? All my code, regardless of language, is pretty well documented and structured, especially when I *have* do something weird or *want* to do something extra concise. I have a pretty consistent and logical style - which I think is important - to all my code and, in fact, many co-workers can tell it's mine just from looking at it.
In short, one can write good and bad code in (almost) *any* language.
Java took that coveted spot, winning out over C, Python, PHP, and other languages. "At first sight, it might seem surprising that an old language like Java wins this award,"...
Interesting comparison, singling out Java as "old". Python is older. From Wikipedia:
Java - First appeared 1995; 21 years ago
C - First appeared 1972; 44 years ago
Python - First appeared 1991; 25 years ago
PHP - First appeared 1995; 21 years ago

...people would actually aspire to create something new rather than spend their lives trying to profit off the mental effort of their dead relatives.
Options: With respect to their dead relatives, they are:
(a) less capable of mental effort.
(b) less willing to exert mental effort.
(c) both (a) and (b).
What sets this case apart is that the accused IRS employee, Nakeisha Hall, was tasked specifically with helping people who had been affected by some kind of tax-related identity theft or fraud.
Ceramic parts are widely used in tasks that deal with extreme temperatures, particularly in oxidizing environments. At some temperatures they're really the only things that can take the heat.
And in other areas that, at least, I hadn't considered. The shaft seal (example) in my Hayward pool pump is ceramic. Half is stationary, on the casing, the other half rotates with the shaft. The components that touch face-to-face are ceramic with rubber around the edge holding them in place.
I don't know about the UK, but in the US, another option he has is to reverse the charge with the credit card company.
Well... I'm not sure it's that simple or automatic. He can dispute the charges, but unless he can demonstrate fraud/theft the CC company may deny the dispute. Sure, it was his child that made the purchases -- or, so he says:-) -- but he allowed the child to use his tablet and arguably his CC. Alternatively, he can return items for refunds, but I don't know if that's supported for in-game purchases.

End of extended support for Win7 is January 2020; Win8 in 2023. No one needs to be nagged for five years.
Except that MS wants to start gathering all your data *now* and Windows 10 does that.
They know what you need, just submit and deal with it.
You must be a fun date.

I've watched that movie a few times and still fail to see the connection.
Isn't that a Korean boy band?
Using that instead would certainly boost the number of visitors by a magnitude... ;-)

The FAA can regulate the skies, but they don't own the airspace inside of buildings.
Or salt mines, sewer / storm water drains, underwater (handling may be sluggish).
Someone earlier said "You shouldn't let amateurs design cryptographic systems".
You shouldn't let amateurs design transmission protocols either.
You shouldn't let amateurs do most things - including porn.
As I stated, I just pulled what was listed on their Wikipedia pages as their "first appeared date".
Don't you mean write once, debug everywhere?
I thought it was "Write once, wait everywhere". :-)

Obviously, Verizon will simply rent data center resources from the new NSA data center in Utah. It will make sharing our information much simpler.

Awesome! So who watches the watchers?
Apparently, Congress. Feel better now?
Ice Bear wants privacy when he sleeps.
Imagine how nerve-racking – terrifying, even – tweeting would be if it was immutable and irrevocable?
Like posting on /. ?
Lyft thinks the future of self-driving cars is in a network of vehicles people share, rather than individual ownership.
Like public, mass-transit: buses, trains and planes?

There is an old saying: "Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!"
Or - and I'm not making this up - as George W. Bush said:
Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!
