Was only marks STOPPED police cars, that are also by the side of the road with someone in them. You (the person using Waze) wouldn't mark a cop parked to eat lunch, or just driving around (how could you mark a car driving around? It's not like Waze is selling GPS tracking magnets... hmm...)

So for someone thinking of robbing a bank or anyone else, all you know is where the police cars are that are in speed traps. At any given moment there are a ton of police cara simply driving all about, that Waze has no indication.

Using Waze does not mean you can speed like crazy, just that you can keep up with traffic without worrying about being singled out for a stop because of the color of your car or yourself.

Waze is also REALLY useful to know when there's traffic ahead (people telling Waze where traffic is beats every other mapping solution I have used) and also hazards like giant potholes, or cars stuck in the road.

Better let Green Man Gaming and Gamersgate know, they regularly have VIP sales where you can get titles 25-55% off, oh those are both "legit" first-sale shops. So are places like Nuuvem.

The main advantage of subclassing over switch statements isn't the number of lines, it's that if you want to make a change in the future, you only have to change the decision point in one place, instead of once for every overridden function.

You can tell that subclassing is useful sometimes because people do it in C also, with structs filled with function pointers. It's just not useful to always force your code into a class hierarchy (and indeed, is counter-productive to attempt).

As for the 'useful' independent studies, I'll have to look again when I go home. But you didn't specify 'useful' in your original post. :)

What difference does it make? If it's not commerce, the federal government can create a tax that will confiscate all the man's grain. Problem solved.

If a majority of the people want a larger federal government over a long-enough period of time, no constitution ever written will prevent it.

I'm interested in your follow-up question, though.

That's actually what it's like at "Mojave Spaceport". Hangers of small aviation practicioners and their junk. Gary Hudson, Burt Rutan, etc. Old aircraft and parts strewn about. Left-over facilities from Rotary Rocket used by flight schools. A medium-sized facility for Orbital. Some big facilities for BAE, etc. An aircraft graveyard next door.

SS2 has not completed testing and it is probable that there will be a need for redesign of one or more components. So, this is a really bad time to have the hand-off. Publicity isn't a good reason.

That's good. Now all you need to do is convince a significant portion of your fellow citizens to agree with you on the topic. Right now more voters disagree with you than agree.

Because it wouldn't get as many views as you think.

Because it's not as juicy as you think.

I was pointing out that actually there are theories metrics, and independent studies, which addressed your original comment. I wasn't claiming that you should like the book.

More wordy?? Hey, you have to cut it off at around 1,200 pages. Printing presses can't handle much more!

How do they handle the fact that different platforms require (sometimes vastly) different calling conventions at the assembly level (i.e., which registers are saved registers, etc).

Hard to read, plus poorly researched, plus didn't demonstrate that they are commonly needed, plus the fact that trying to jam everything into design patterns results in bad software, plus the fact that they don't really help programmers become much better......

Most of us practice head shots for hours at a time.

Only an idiot tries for a headshot. Anyone with a clue knows to aim for center of mass.

To both beginner and experts alike, making invisible characters, such as whitespace, possess significance is too much of a religious thing ;-)

Is that a rhetorical question, or do you really not understand the capricious nature of the mainstream news, the primary goal of which is to get views?
