Not dead. Sold.
They aren't mutually exclusive.
But with the usual mess in government records, quite a number of dead souls.
The dead are often a pivotal election demographic.
A dead soul is a prerequisite for becoming a politician.
They lied about the drone flying at and following the helicopter. It was, in fact the helicopter that flew recklessly at the drone. IOW, the NYPD falsified their report in order to make an arrest.
It sounds like a high tech version of 'The suspect repeatedly struck my fist with his face'.
Yes, I think lasers are a necessary component.
Only where sharks are involved.
Agreed, which is why I get really annoyed with Python bigots. My main exposures to python have been trash piles like Anaconda and cowboy crap that is seven layers of libraries to implement and process check that has such poor syntax that it can't even fail, no matter how screwed the process.
I've seen incomprehensible junk written in tcl, bash, java, javascript, c, c++, visual basic, fortran, cobol, basic and assembler, most often written by "experienced" coders who think comments and structure are anathema and risky to their job security.
Give me "unsophisticated" and/or heavily commented code, thank you.
Personally I can write legible perl, but with vbscript you have the choice of putting 'on error resume next' at the beginning and hoping for the best, or a crapload of error handling code for every function turning a fairly simple program into a steaming pile of spaghetti with shitballs. I am sooooo thankful that Powershell against all odds happened to escape from Microsoft Labs (AKA Where Good Ideas Go To Die) giving us a proper native scripting environment for Windows.
The principle reason to put 2560x1440 pixels on a phone is to further the embarrassment of monitor manufacturers who can only manage to get 1/4 of the pixels into a 19" screen.
Monitor manufacturers like, LG?
It seems that for a long time (say, up to 90s or 00s) it was believed that Gates said that 640KB thing. Then people did some research and didn't find any solid evidence of him saying that. So for some years people were reminded that "Gates never actually said that". But during the recent 5 years or so, talks about it being true after all have been coming back. I personally haven't followed the research much to know what's the current opinion. Hmm.
At the time he is alleged to have made that statement, most versions of the then-dominant desktop OS, CP/M, were limited to a maximum of 64 KB. Weather or not he actually made that statement, at the time it would have been true.
