People (including children) respond in kind. When you treat an adult like a child, they only respond like a child. But treat a child like an adult, and they respond like an adult.

They are the same on the keyboard. When printed out in variable-width fonts, they are the same. There are no keys on the keyboard that give different length horizontal lines (other than the underscore is longer than the dash-minus, but not confusable).

Mine is an underscore, lined up poorly. On the same key as the underscore.

What if you are writing about a new thing that you use multiple words to describe The Child-emperor was raised by an adoptive family. Leaving out the hyphens can be confusing. Leaving them in, almost never causes any confusion.

It'd never happen, spending $1T on war gear gets bribe-kick-backs from the makers, and a cash payment to China wouldn't put anything in the pocket of the legislators.

Sure we could. Ask China what cash payment they'd like. The cost of paying off China in cash is much cheaper than a war (economic or military) with or through them. China has a problem because they expect DPRK refugees to run north, not south.

No, the Republicans wanted it pulled, but wanted to make sure to publicly come out against pulling it before it was pulled.

AAA uses diamonds. Everyone else in the world uses stars. Including Michelin. And Michelin stars pre-date AAA, so perhaps AAA deliberately picked diamonds to not be confused with the previous guides available elsewhere.

It'll still know. It'll see that there's a wireless client that thinks it's connected to the hotel SSID, but isn't. THey can identify the rogue that way, without needing to know the AP's MAC, but they'll have that anyway, and will interfere with anyone connected to it.

But they aren't interfering with the wireless signal, but performing an illegal MITM attack. They want the FCC to rule their illegal MITM attack to be legal, for when someone eventually challenges it in court as "unauthorized access" to a user's computer, a federal felony.

Reality disagrees with your assessment.

Nope. Part of WiFi is CS/MACA. Your suggestion breaks WiFi, and it becomes a jammer with an interesting jamming pattern. WiFi requires Collision Sensing (you don't transmit if someone else is), and Collision Avoidance. Both of those don't exist in your plan.

The star ratings are based on available services, not included services. So same-day dry cleaning at $500 per item (collected from your room) will count towards a star rating, but having the dry-cleaners come and pick it up from you and drop it off same-day doesn't, because it's not a seamless bill-to-the-room service.

The star ratings should be abolished and re-made to measure value, not just insulation from the world. A 5-star is one where you pay a single bill when you leave, but could live there indefinitely with no loss of quality of life for a bilionaire. That's not what 99.9% of the travelers care about. I stayed at a "real" 5-star once. It was super-expensive to do anything, but there's nothing you couldn't get or do.

I don't want to sit next to the guy who brought in snakes and beer.

why would you need to be windowless? The "early" commercial thermal windows were great at blocking wireless. If they actually tried to do it, I'm sure they could improve on that.
