I'm getting my CS degree from them right now, while working full-time. It's not great for learning, but if you already know how to program, you can definitely check the box there (and probably get a 4.0 to boot).

My guess is one of the floats had confetti or someone in an apartment wanted to take part in the parade. Why was it police documents? There are lots of ways that could have happened. Explanations start with an apartment owner who works at the station taking home a bag of "confetti" to throw out their window, and go all the way to a conspiracy. Also the possibility of a recycling company that shreds stuff and sells it as cheap confetti (I personally think this is highly unlikely).

That's a fair point, but the driver's license is to show you're the registered voter you say you are. In the U.S.A., registered voter = citizen.

How?

Except when you need to do something like, I don't know, prove you're a citizen of said country...

Your tone conveys an attitude that your employees shouldn't be interested in how the company is run, that's a huge red flag from my experience.
It's not prima donna to inquire about the history of the position. You should want employees who think they can succeed where someone else has failed.
I don't understand employers who think company operations are of no business to their employees. I may work for you, but I'm putting my livelihood and that of my family in your hands. You don't have to justify all your decisions, but some explanation of the direction and plan goes a long way.

*facepalm* the sensors are integrated with the engine. That's like saying your oven blew up but the broiler is fine.

Actually, according to SpaceX engineers, it did not explode as they were able to continue to communicate with it. The current theory is the outer covering blew off because of the change in pressure.

From TFA: "We know the engine did not explode, because we continued to receive data from it. Our review indicates that the fairing that protects the engine from aerodynamic loads ruptured due to the engine pressure release, and that none of Falcon 9’s other eight engines were impacted by this event."

That, my friend, is an over-simplified concept of business. No-one "withholds", "refuses", or "adds" any functionality to another company's product without some form of licensing agreement being reached. Apple did not want to give Google what Google wanted for the features. This is not in any way the same as saying Google "refused" to give them turn by turn navigation.
Here's a link to an article talking about some of the insights from sources. Sadly with things like this, there's no such thing as source data, so we'll just have to go with the sources and articles. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2209539/Apple-replaced-Google-Maps-iPhone-5-controversial-app-wasnt-pleased-Android-turn-turn-voice-navigation.html

Okay, there's no purple in the 4S picture, so you've definitely lost me. The iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 have the same camera spec-wise, the only difference is the glass vs sapphire cover. I don't think it's a fair statement to say that aside from the obvious flaws in the photo, the sapphire cover is better. That's like saying the car runs great except it stalls every so often.

Yeah, I read the article. I'm not sure you did though. Unless you mean better in some sort of artsy photography sense, because what I see is two pictures of essentially the same scene (shifted a bit). The iphone 4s has a very bright white area where the sun is, the iphone 5 has a bright purple outlining the same area. Forgive me, but I'm really not at all sure what you're claiming is "better". Perhaps you meant a different article?

You can't make the argument that it's as good as it gets when the previous version didn't have the problem.

No information on the test they performed whatsoever, no shots of the photos used, no information on how they overcame (or if they did at all) the supposed blinking requirement. This news site has a low opinion of their readers to not even include the simplest information.

There were 30 counts with the award of 675,000 so I think the OP is saying the 6 months = 1 count = 22,500. Still not a bad wage, but probably commensurate with the average (if not below average) /.er.

While I agree with most of your points, I don't necessarily agree with your conclusion. We are an increasingly mobile society, and that means that if we no longer have to actually do the driving, we'll be doing other things. For instance, do you really care if your commute is 15 minutes longer if those 15 minutes can be spent actually doing something? Heck, you can even catch a 30 minute nap if you didn't sleep well enough the night before. The advantage to driver-less cars isn't necessarily in the speed-up of traffic, it's the re-claiming of the time spent driving.
