What? Another case of government-induced neurosis?
I'm sorry to say (and maibe becoming flame-bait) but the US governmend, along with UK and a couple more, have turned their citizens into neurotically-controlled persons afraid of anything that they believe to recognize as a "terrorist" threath.
An 11 years-old boy now? really?
What's next, 6 years-old's bicycle can be used to hide a "zero-point quantum device" from the future?

True, but this is mostly because the "executives" (execu-tigres, they are called in D.R.) don't want to take the risk of reducing their bonuses, remember that they are run by followers of the God named "Money" and nothing else matters. Any "corporate social responsibility" announcements aren't anything more than public relations
As you can see, I don't trust corporations too much, I have seen them flip on hyper-loyal employees for simple things
That situation is the same with all the european conuntries that had "colonies" in America, especially Spain. My reasoning is that because the people that TODAY make up the country did not live trough that period, and history is such a boring subject for many, the knowledge about historic causality about today's situation y most countries below the US-Mexico border is ignored by the people.
At the time of the colonies, most of us were teached only to be slaves and not have any initiative, and that is why anyone can see that latin-americans in general when raised in an organized country that supports self-betterment usually can get ahead and be successful. Of course, there are many that get there already older (mor than 10 years old) that are already "broken" and is very hard to make them change their ways.
That kind of ship, and also heavy machinery is what is needed. I have two brother working with the relief efforts by the Dominican Republic army and they tell me there are no streets (the buidings collapsen on the streets) and people just walk over the rubble.
The D.R. government already (since yesterday morning) has an effort providing food, water and medical assistance, but are getting overwhelmed by the quantity of hurt people. Even hospitals in the D.R. as far as 150+ miles from Haiti are full of persons brouth here by aby means. Even the president of Haiti's senate is hospitalized here.
No need to, the core count isn't being done in powers of 2, modern humans use a base-10 counting system (maybe the fingers have someting to do with it, but I don't know).
Maybe the answer is robots.txt; but that is not what you tell a billionaire if he asks you.
True, you tell him "we will put in some coutermeasures to block the evil Google search engine from accessing your content" and then go about your business and create the robots.txt file. It's just a start, sure Google has a way to go around that.
GW-BASIC is an evolution of MS-BASIC. IBM didn't remove BASIC from the PCs, it was included in ROM even in the IBM PS/2 (I know because I used it a lot). BASICA is the IBM-branded interpreter that relies upon the in-ROM BASIC and adds disk, graphics andsome more "features". GW-BASIC is the MS "version" of BASIC for IBM-compatibles that has all of the interpreter in the file, so it doesn't need the one in ROM.
As for who invented what, I think we'll never know for sure but if they didn't create the interpreter (history says they did, but it has a tendency of reflecting the opinion of whoever is writing it) at least they introduced "pirating" into the PC field (if we conveniently ignore that it was "prior art" on other platforms already).
The first "windows" version was the "MS-DOS EXECUTIVE". Later, they came out with something called "Windows 1.1". This much I remember from some video I saw a while ago while browsing around some "vintage computer" sites (don't remember exactly where).
HTH!
Should get out of the job, but not because of the job itself. Even if he gets re-moted/promoted/I-don't-know-what (isn't english as a second language wonderful?), he will get harrassed and looked down, passed-over, etc. probably for the rest of his career unless he finds some heavy-weight politician to back him up. At least that is how it is done here.
USA, you are being royally screwed. And I should know it, it is a daily occurrence down south.

Not only USA. In my country we have just implemented number portability and they will charge a one-time fee to every client, even if you never use the portability service!
Not so much laziness as unwillingness to spend much more on a vacation. Remember that most of those taking these all-included trips are working lower-middle class people that can't spend too much on a vacation. The important part, and I'm sorry I left that out, is that the model does not generate as much economic wealth as advertised to local populations because the trips have to be as cheap as possible without sacrificing a certain degree of quality. The local population only receeives a minimum-wage income and the price (cheap) of food/services acquired by the resorts.
Excessive, maybe. Necessary SOMETIMES, yes! Mobiles on cars should be controlled in some way, either by law or technology.
I myself was almost run over not long ago while crossing the street on foot by a woman chatting on her blackberry while driving (and using both hans to drive AND chat!) because she didn't see me or the red light!
When the Spaniards arrived, all codices and other writings containing any Mayan text were destroyed. - - deleted - -
Pure ignorance! In today's world the "conquistadores" and "descubridores" would be tried by genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity (or a combination of these).
Exactly why should we worry about a calendar developed by a civilization that worshiped corn?
Maybe because they had a calendar that was several times more precise than the one used by their "discoveres" (conquerors/killers) even by some od today's day to day use calendars.
About the corn thing, what would be the difference between a man-like figure, a cob of corn or an elephant in regards to being used a a representation of a superior being that explains what we can't?
Speaking something derived from original Mayan laguage is not the same as reading the ancient figures. Much like there weren't any hyeroglyphic-reading people in Egypt up until a relatively short time ago.
I have seen massive PST files, and tough they seem to work, I don't want to be the one to try and recover them once corruption sets in. Also, sometimes Outlook (2007) takes forever to open them. One of our executives never closes her mail only for that reason.
Not such luck, the WinMo phones also do some wird things with appointments, especially repeating ones. If I follow your line of tought, the the WinMo developers (more precisely, the Pocket Outlook ones) don't have a clear understanding of MS's way of doing MAPI. I would place my bet on #3 or something to that effect or add a #4: someone or something is MAKING them do it and we just haven't found out.

Not likely, since 9/11 everyone related to airport operations/security/anything is in "paranoid mode", more so with the recent events.
I'll go for the obtuse part!
No need to, the core count isn't being done in powers of 2, modern humans use a base-10 counting system (maybe the fingers have someting to do with it, but I don't know).
Another example of the inability of law to keep pace with technology, even old ones as LIDAR.
Maybe that's the one THEY use?
Just use the force and fly into the thing to blow it apart!
Can you just imagine the licensing costs for solar light? What about if youwant to generate power fromsolar panels or similar?

One reason people are still with AT&T is of course the iPhone, but also the locked carrier status on phones in the United States in general.
The locked phones come as a consequece of people wanting cheap phones (subsidized, they call them).
