No, it's actually an assembly language thing, where you access array elements by base address and offset. Your first element sits at offset zero. C is merely a wrapper for assembly that's suffering from various wardrobe malfunctions.
None of the other planes would have crashed either had they had locks.
The problem with locks is that there might be instances/emergencies when you want to access the cockpit. Locks would cause deaths in these cases. On average, how many people do locks save from terrorist attacks and how many extra deaths do locks cause by preventing access to the cockpit in emergencies?
Hm. Maybe they should hand out weapons to all passengers before the flight starts. Not guns, but maybe clubs and knives. Sure, one passenger may try to pull something, but he has to know that everyone else is armed, too.;)
It's not rocket science to build a clean-burning wood stove. The first manufacturer to come up with an inexpensive solution will be rewarded with lots of revenue.
(2) "You can go somewhere else, if you think you're treated unfairly" is the age old reply of tyrants --- even Adolf Hitler used that excuse.
Err... one of the things he did was to make it as hard as possible for the "undesirables" to emigrate - to make it easier to round them up and kill them.
You know you're in a real tyranny if the freedom of just going somewhere else is taken away from you.
We find exoplanets in two ways - by Doppler shift of the star, or by transits.
Don't forget finding them by microlensing events, direct observation, and (possibly, in the future) astrometrics (i.e. actually observing the star change position).
so how can a lowly prosecutor make a deal with a defendant who has been charged by a grand jury?
Well, the prosecutor decides what to charge the accused with. He's got to charge them with something, of course, but there are enough shades in the law that one action might easily qualify as crime A, but with a bit of effort could also be proven to be crime B which has harsher penalties attached. However...
The whole adversarial system of justice in the US is prone to abuse and usually produces results most people would consider to be unjust.
... I agree there. Thinking that a prosecutor and the accused (plus his defender) meet on "equal terms" before a judge and jury to present their case is just ridiculous. The scales of power are so far tipped towards the government (represented by the prosecutor) that it's not funny; the prosecutor has very little to lose (except for some time) compared to the accused, the prosecutor doesn't get stuck in jail before the trial or has to deal with posting bail, the prosecutor works much more closely with police, etc. An adversarial system works well in civil cases, but not in criminal ones.
Also, from the point of view of the government, it's just stupid and expensive not to force the prosecutor to also present exonerating evidence, because not doing so means that the prosecutor doesn't care if gets the wrong person convicted. And convicting the wrong person is about the worst thing that can happen, since it means several things: a) the government just ruined the life of an innocent person, b) the government now actually spends loads of money to imprison an innocent person and c) the actually guilty person got away with the crime since the case is closed and no one else will be prosecuted for it.
You are wiser than most to realize that there is a distinction between Constitutionally granted rights and what many people are now declaring is a right.
So let's get rid of public defenders, since the sixth amendment evidently only bars the government from kicking your attorney out of the courthouse? It's not the governments fault if you can't afford an attorney when you're about to be legally ****ed by a highly trained and motivated prosecutor who's very eager to land your butt on the electric chair.
Probably know. However, I don't think they can measure the exact composition of an exoplanets atmosphere. They can tell which gases are present and which are not. Even Venus has some molecular oxygen in the upper layers of its atmosphere.
I'm a software engineer and don't understand the relevance of this statement, how can a jury?
Which part of the statement don't you understand?
Toyota firmware evidently had a run-off-the-mill stack overflow waiting to happen, and they didn't realize it because they probably only did some kind of static analysis of stack usage.
Better to focus on math, which is the hard part of programming.
The hard part of programming is breaking down a large task into smaller subtasks that are both easy to understand by (other!) programmers and can be done efficiently by the available hardware.
The BBC Horizon documentary "How to Kill a Human Being" (available in full on YouTube) asks what the most humane form of execution is and comes to the same conclusion.
The problem is that the condemned can delay the execution for a few minutes just by holding their breath. You usually don't want execution methods where the condemned has that much control over the whole process.
Strangely, the suggestion that executing someone in a painful manner might possibly be the very definition of "cruel" has been upheld by the Supreme Court.
o Germany will stop selling medicines to the the US because of our nation's democratic choice to continue capital punishment. Meanwhile, they happily sell medicines to Iran which has a oligarchically imposed practice of capital punishment for such crimes as being raped and being homosexual.

It took me about five minutes. Especially given Verhoevens history of dark and funny satire (commercials in Robocop II, anyone?).
How about coming up with a way to catch criminals that doesn't involve preemptively spying on everyone?
The military doesn't have to worry about PETA. Their bird cannon uses live ammo.
Err ... one of the things he did was to make it as hard as possible for the "undesirables" to emigrate - to make it easier to round them up and kill them.

And even worse: Nothing you say can be used to exonerate you, because that would be hearsay and therefore not admissible evidence.
That's when the temperature will have risen enough due to the sun increasing in luminosity to preclude liquid water on Earths surface.
Sixth amendment. The right to assistance of counsel in criminal proceedings.

As far as we know, Jupiter-sized planets usually have moons.
I think it has to do with oscillations and resonances. It shouldn't be too unique.
Um no. Life doesn't have a monopoly on splitting oxygen atoms off other compounds (CO2, H2O) - simple photolysis can do the same thing.

Depending on how it's done, it produces a fairly ugly corpse and destroys potentially usable organs.
Use helium mixed with some nitrous oxide for the most hilarious execution ever.

You could try to subsist on fruit, milk, honey and carrion.

It's okay if it is cruel and usual.
They're probably not selling rope to Iran.
