Are you suggesting this is yet another instance of US courts finding foreign companies guilty and subjecting them to outrageous amounts in damages, as a form of anti-competitive tariff? Sounds reasonable.
The US National Guard has better fighter planes than most of the world's air forces. Why does a National Guard need F15s? Are they planning on taking on the US Air Force or is it somewhere that USAF planes go to retire?
My apologies. A month or two ago I read about some foreign (non-Swedish, maybe American?) entity buying something Swedish that I thought was the leading mobile payments platform (at least that is how it was headlined) and thought to myself "Well that's another f'*ing stupid move by Sweden; still falling for the promise of Globalization even in the face of all the evidence to the contrary". Now I cannot find any evidence of any relevant article, only suggestions on Wikipedia that now that Swish is dominant that banks are considering introducing fees for the buyer as well - which is along the lines of what I was suggesting would happen in my original post (yes it's hard for me to say I'm wrong). I will try to provide links to my sources in future and this should prevent similar stupidity on my part.
Programming languages such as Lua, Objective-C, Erlang, and Ruby (on Rails)
People, including TFS, seem to always conflate Ruby with Rails. Ruby is a programming language with many features, including easy metaprogramming for the creation of DSLs and useful frameworks. Rails is just one of these frameworks. It is definitely not a programming language in the way Lua, Objective-C, Erlang, or Ruby is.
The leading (near monopoly) Swedish cashless app just got sold to foreigners. Very much time to revert to cash if you don't want your economy held to ransom by incremental fee increases.
NK isn't going to launch an attack on anyone, as it would be utter mass suicide and they know it. These weapons are a deterrent, in the hopes that the USA will no longer think of attacking their country without the risk of proper retaliation. How about normalising relations with them? Or are they too good as this month's bogeyman?
My high school had the first "Computer Studies" course in our state in 1982 and I was one of the first 10 students chosen. We had 5 Apple ][s in the classroom (we didn't call it pair-programming back then, it was just one-between-two). Anyway, I convinced my mother that I needed a computer to help with my studies and the local electrical retailer had these amazingly cheap VIC-20 computers for only $499.
She caved and so I took over our TV for the next year or so trying to write the next Space Invaders in Commodore Basic. It was OK when the sprites were going left-to-right but dog slow when trying to move them right-to-left. Anyway, lots of fun.
I've still got it in a box in the shed (which is more than I can say for all the 286, 386, 486 and Pentiums I've owned) along with the tape drive and the tapes. I do occasionally (every decade or so) think of getting it out and seeing if it still works. I don't reckon I ever will and think my son will probably end up throwing it out when he's going through all my crap when I'm gone. I probably won't care.
... nutrition professor Marion Nestle of New York University argued that "this 50-year-old incident may seem like ancient history, but it is quite relevant, not least because it answers some questions germane to our current era."
Facebook is categorising the vast majority as liberal. There is one country, however, where the mix is more evenly distributed. I'll give you a hint as to which country that is: to them, the world also includes the Toronto Bluejays.
Since TFS didn't explain what "mitochondria" are, I had to look them up myself and found a documentary about them. One scientist explains them as:
Mitochondria are a microscopic lifeforms that reside within all living cells. And we are symbions with them. Without the mitochondrians life could not exist and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us telling us the will of the Force.
the best I've been able to come up with is marshalling everything into a byte array, and then separating it back out. Doable, but hardly what I'd call "a solved problem"

Here's the thing, like. Noone watches television any more.
Brilliant.
Totally.
Yes. Exactly. Yeah.

You had me at Dutton.

Security!
Can somebody please confirm whether it is OK for countries to test fire missiles or is it not?
Sometimes, but just like Object-Oriented Programming it sucks when it's used as The One Paradigm To Rule Them All.
Preferences: Use OOP for GUI, and FSP (functional/structured programming) for services/backed. Use round pegs in round holes.

Android Thinks It's Google's New OS For Smart Devices and I thought "Wow, that's appropriate!".
The real headline wasn't anywhere near as exciting.

Not sure I can take her seriously...

That's good enough. Take the shot.
Sorry, accidentally clicked in the wrong spot and caused a down-mod. I'm hoping this post undoes the mod. Apologies if it doesn't.
