But then we'd need an army of self-replicating construction robots, which if capable of learning and adapting to construction issues well enough to not foul up, may decide to rid humans, leading to Borg and/or Battlestar Galactica.
the externalities (for CO2) are global, but the governments are local....gets into the very difficult and political world of international trade regulations
Let alone at the federal level inside the USA. It may be why the wealthy owners want more "States Rights": they can dump their problems onto other weaker states.
It's pretty easy, take any existing movie, and about 3/4 the way through it, add a half-second of a loud rumble and swirling dust, and then snip the movie then and there. Done!
Something tells me it won't be a hit, though.
Unless, maybe you do a slow-mo of Jar Jar and Justin Bieber being torn to shreds.
I don't understand why passwords are not stored on a hardware device that limits the frequency of confirmation requests to only what's needed through hardware. If you put the passwords on regular disks, then somebody can copy them and run brute-force guess-A-trons on them.
oh, and 5) more consistent blocking syntax conventions across authors than curly braces because it imposes a certain line spacing that curly braces do not.
Indeed. The Chinese Government must have read "How Not to Tick Off a Large City", and did the opposite of the advice. Why would anyone want to go back to being governed by a cheating bully?
(Other than at gun-point, which it may come down to now.)
One of the reasons COBOL remains popular. (You can get proper monetary values from floating point systems if you are careful, but it's not the ideal tool.)
I'm a guy and I have been harassed by a relentless troll in the past after I presented a position that the troll strongly disagreed with. He did a google search of everything he could find out about me and pasted the results all over the place repeatedly. Lesson #1: Don't Use Real Name.
Tables have one nice feature lacking in CSS equivalents: you can switch on the borders to visually study the cell boundaries using BORDER=1. And the equivalent of VALIGN control in CSS is either a mess or broken in existing browsers.
oh, and 4) cleaner CASE statements with no need for BREAK.
Note that if you are using an IDE, then #1 does not matter as much. But trying to find the variable name among long type names is an eye killer if there is not colorized differentiation.
"They call him Fapper, Fapper, faster than lightning, no-one you see, is hornier than he, and we know Fapper, lives in a world full of wonder there, flying off underwear, under the sea!"
VB.Net has some nice features over C sharp. 1) type name is to the right of the variable name in declarations, which is how it should be for modern type names. 2) No semi-colons, nuf sed. 3) End-X block enders are better self-documentation and reduce loop and IF mix ups after fat fingering.
AT&T keeps adding "insurance" charges to our bill, and make up silly excuses for adding it, usually involving some twisted "misunderstanding" of our requests. Do their sales people go to Bogus Alibi School?
Me: "Achoo!"
AT&T Service Dweeb: "Achoo is Swahili for 'I want insurance'. Done, Bye [phone click]"
Movies "all show technology that doesn't work, that... kills people, that it is bad...
Movies also often show people doing bad things. Does that mean our society also hates people? (Letting the sick and poor die is arguably a sign of such.)
But in general, for any drama you need an antagonist. Sometimes that antagonist is a person(s) and sometimes technology. Happy rainbow movies rarely sell.
Plus, it's fun watching sparks fly out of machines. Unrealistic, but fun. Blood and guts are too unpleasant to watch in my opinion. Kick Bot Butt!

It's smart and not smart at the same time.
And:
* User-interface design
* Upgrade migration management
* Customer relations
* Standards compliance
* Packaging design
* Stage dancing
* Chair care
There is more to running a software company than finding inexpensive docile labor.

Have 2 run in parallel so you have a spare.

Let's punish them by buying their trinkets at Walmart. That'll show 'em!

We already know it's a sin to eat pi.

Fault tolerant? but humans are the bug
Judging by ratings then, Congress must've had a double whiff.
