His guns were legal in the state of his previous duty station and in the state of his new duty station but were not in the state he was driving through.
If the guns were illegal in the state he was in, what's the problem with them being confiscated?
I live in Canada. When I flew from Canada to the Caribbean with a stop in the USA, I had to go through customs in the USA *even though I never left the secure area of the airport*!
OSCAR is an open-source electronic medical record system. My mom used it for years in her midwifery practice.
Unstructured electronic notebooks are no good...you want the important information to be in standardized locations/formats (for efficiency) and readily visible (to avoid mistakes). Ideally you want the web-based forms to look very much like the old paper forms to minimize disruption. OSCAR (and others, to be fair) allow this sort of thing.
I have a hard time believing that most people buy lottery tickets for entertainment or as a form of charitable giving. This forces me to conclude that they're awfully bad at calculating their odds of actually winning.
Coding it "properly" may involve redoing significant parts of the codebase due to invalid assumptions made years ago. A hack now may allow it to work for another year or two, thus punting the problem down the road a ways.
How many people think their individual representative actually represents their constituency rather than the wishes of the party?
I'm in Canada, and on any really critical issue the vote is almost always "whipped", which means that the representatives vote the party line or risk being thrown out of the party. It sucks.
I have a tablet, a laptop, and a desktop. They all get used.
For media consumption or quick stuff or one-handed use the tablet is the best bet. For more stringent but "light" stuff (or if I'm too lazy to go upstairs) the laptop gets picked. For anything where I'm going to be doing a lot of typing I'll use the desktop (which is really another heavier but more powerful laptop that's almost always docked) since it has a 1920x1200 IPS screen, ergo keyboard, and proper mouse.
You used to be able to get 1920x1200 on a laptop. That doesn't exist anymore as far as I can tell. The only option is the Retina Mac and there you don't get access to all the pixels.
Why can't I get a laptop with the screen of a Nexus 10?
First, for anything over 1920x1200 you pretty much need to go to 27" or higher. Then, pretty much all of the affordable 27" high res monitors have problems...IPS bleed, uneven backlight, too strong anti-glare coating, too many bad pixels, wrong connectivity, bad colour accuracy, crappy contrast, image retention, cross-hatch weirdness, etc.
You need to spend close to a thousand bucks to get anything really nice or else get a Dell 2711 and risk it all by removing the anti-glare coating.
When someone talks about "X Kelvin" as a colour temperature, they mean the spectrum emitted by a black-body at that temperature, which by definition is full-spectrum.
To a first approximation the sun emits radiation at 5800K.
If someone is writing new code in the middle of existing code, and isn't matching the style of existing code, I'm *absolutely* going to bring it up in the code review.
Totally brand new code should follow the project guidelines.
Otherwise you get stuff like what I've worked on where you could tell who wrote what code because everyone used a different style.
They're useful if you have multiple error conditions...just goto an error cleanup path. Also useful for skipping to the end of a loop but where you still want to do something before the next iteration.
I work in enterprise embedded stuff where the systems are five nines reliable, and even there we've got problems. We recently ran into a day-one bug that suddenly turned and bit us because we switched to a different brand of hard drive.
Someone who just took a programming course with no prior experience is most definitely a newbie...
And someone without a lot of experience in a given area is by definition a newbie in that area. (Or if you don't like the term, call it "inexperienced".)
I've been doing mostly linux kernel hacking and low-level POSIX stuff for 10+ years. If I needed to do some database stuff I'd be a total newbie and likely to make all the usual mistakes (but I've got enough experience to know this and to at least try and find out what the common mistakes are first).
This motherboard has a built-in FPGA, multiple channels of analog/digital I/O, PWM output, Rasp-Pi compatible header (to allow use of R-Pi accessory boards), builtin speaker amp (for small speakers, but still), 3 UARTs, and a USB-OTG port.

What's the point? Why not just incorporate this into the regular public library?

Of course the actual probability doesn't change. But people's perception of it does.

"You can't right click a touch screen, although long clicking kinda sorta is the same thing I guess. Definitely can't middle click."
Actually you can...two-finger tap and three finger tap.
The rest of your complaints I would tend to agree with though.

Combined with a bit of expertise, this is effectively unlimited data.

This is a hardware hacker's *dream* system.
They make some excellent monitors (the IPS panels in particular) and I have a 2yo Vostro14" that I got for a good price and is still going strong.

My wife and I were driving in interior British Columbia, and the GPS tried to have us take a left turn off a thousand foot cliff.
Don't trust your GPS, it may be suicidal.
I use Thunderbird on Linux with IMAP. Search works fine, if a bit slow.
a light touch moves the mouse around, a heavier touch acts like holding down the mouse button
That means I have phone connectivity without needing the computer to be on.
And since I work from home, I have very little need for a cell phone. So my wife and I share one phone with a basic voice/text plan and no data.
NEBS-compliant enterprise- or telco-grade systems still cost tens of thousands of dollars and people definitely pay people good money to work on them.
The company I work for is on-shoring work after figuring out that off-shoring it dropped the quality substantially.
