Previews are adverts.

If the guy had been texting during the actual movie, it's pretty antisocial, but it's still not a reason to kill him.

It's more likely he would have backed down as soon as things started getting heated.

All 6502 opcodes are three characters long e.g. LDA (load accumulator), ASL (arithmetic shift left). So the opcodes you are thinking of are the AHL and FKU opcodes.

The second gen Macbook Pro is supported with Mavericks. In fact, the only Macbook Pros not supported seem to be the original 32 bit only ones.

There's no evidence that Apple has stopped providing security updates for older versions of OS X.

No it wasn't.

No it wasn't, it's assembler was Macro 11 which doesn't look anything like Fortran or C.

And good luck getting your dollars out of Mt Gox in a reasonable timeframe. The backlog on withdrawals of non trivial USD amounts is months at the moment

And CUPS and Webkit.

I worked as a contractor on an IBM project a year or two ago. I have to say that my experience backs your post up. All of the desktops were Windows based. The servers were Linux, but that was mandated by the customer.

Even worse, we were not allowed to use open source components unless they had been approved by IBM's legal department. We got into the ridiculous situation that we had to change our code coverage tool from one that was based on the GPL to one that wasn't even though the instrumented code it produced was never shipped to the customer.

All of those things have always been a part of war, except the social media thing, but that is just an instance of propaganda.

Civilians have always found themselves being murdered in war. For example, in Wellington's Peninsular campaign, there were several instances of cities being taken by force and then the army doing a bit of rape pillage and murder. This was done by both sides even though the British were ostensibly trying to liberate the locals.

Then the invention of the bomber allowed civilian murder to be taken to new extremes in WW2. The British bombing campaign was particularly bad, based as it was on the premise that the smallest target that could reliably be hit by night bombers was a city.

Torture of captured opponents has always figured in warfare, if the opponent had information that you wanted.

Wiretapping or earlier means of intercepting of communications have always figured in warfare.

The tech just alters the details.

He correctly predicted mobile phones, tablets and fibre optic cables. He got the World population about right.

And that was it. Everything else was a fail.

Your Republican Party is becoming a parody of itself. Most people on this side of the Atlantic are mystified that the GOP polls any votes at all.

Here's how confused we are: my family was playing some crappy trivia game at Christmas and the question came up "who was the Republican president elected in 1860". Here in the UK, we don'[t know our US presidents very well, and most of us could only name one from that time period. However, the person who had to answer the question got it wrong because he couldn't accept the fact that Lincoln was not a Democrat. I would guess that nine out of ten people in the UK, who know who the Democrats and Republicans are, would guess Lincoln was a Democrat.

Strangely, I'm terribly tired of the "C is a portable assembler" myth. It's not, it's a high level language, albeit a small one.

In the C99 standard, there are definitions that make char and byte effectively the same size. The standard purposely leaves out a definition of exactly how big that is in terms of bits.

A better option than pirating is to delete the app from your phone and post a negative review on the app store to warn other people off.
