It was actually called "White Angel", until 2008 when Lucas decided it wasn't urban enough, and CG'd the titular character.
They've invested billions if not trillions in the surveillance networks and infrastructure.
Is anyone going to really believe it's all been mothballed at the stroke of a pen?
I won't.
I don't think its the sunk money that matters to them. It's the heady feeling of autocracy and superpowers which they'll never give up. The NSA and CIA are significantly staffed by bad, treasonous, anti-democratic people.
The law may or may not be on the plaintiff's side.
Either way, the employer should be beaten with a tire iron, in my opinion.

Some physics models do.
Also, at least one of his cheating allegations was investigated and overturned by their university's administration. This sounds mostly like sour grapes.
Maybe. In a kind-of related note, though, I heard of one Brown CS professor who found pretty damning evidence that some students had cheated, and the University refused to do anything at all about it.
I can understand how a professor's patience would reach a limit.
That don't justify his particular response, I'm just saying I can see why he'd lose it.
I think two outcomes should have been upheld:
(1) Each student was graded according to his or her own merit.

Whoa there. You wouldn't steel a car, would you???

Beim dritten Mal ist ein Charme!
Damn, lots of Stasi victims are still of working age even. You'd hope the Germans had developed more antibodies against this crap.
Given the nice, modular nature of LLVM, I would think even the GCC developers would find it to be a more enjoyable best to work on.
Any idea why most GCC developers don't simply port their front-ends / back-ends of choice to LLVM, and walk away from GCC?
I know there's the licensing issue, which I assume matters to some heavy-duty OSS advocates. But in my experience most programmers who work with OSS aren't super passionate about GPL vs. Berkeley -style licensing.
I did cover bi. I don't know enough about transsexuals to know where they fit into this schema.
If it's a matter of not having students who are sexually attracted to each other, they have a serious logistical problem:
I'm not positive, but I think you'd need something like this:
