Then Neptune and Earth do not.
Neptune has not cleared it's orbit of Pluto and many comets and apollo bodies cross earth's orbit.

Exactly ". First, advertising imposes costs on individuals without permission or compensation."
You usually get entertainment and or information in compensation.
I would say yes. Having moons is not a requirement but if you have other object in your planetary moon system the planet is the one with the most mass. Titan is not a planet but it could be if it had an independant orbit as could our moon.
The scientist that runs the Pluto mission disagrees with you.
Pluto is a planet. As he put it The Astronomers should not decide what is and is a planet. They Planetary geologists should.
Pluto is large enough that it has been pulled into a spherical shape. It has moons that orbit it, and it has the most mass of the bodies in the planet moon system it occupies.Pluto has an atmosphere.
Ceres could also qualify but it does not have a moon and is much smaller than Pluto.
I also have no problem with Eris being called a planet if it's orbit remains within the heliopause.
Now the moons of Mars should not be called moons IMHO since they are really just captured asteroids.
So it is better to leave the exploits that it does close open?
Now this is heading into crazytown.
If true.
1. Those are already open.
2. It does improve security by closing other holes.
So why not use it?
Why limit it to those in public housing? Why not offer it to all low income families?
I knew that Wirth did some work in that direction but I never could find it again. One idea he had was compile right to the point of code generation and then stop. When you got the file the browser/installer would then complete the code generation. All the parsing and optimization was already done.
Combine that with her contacts with Snowden and yea I can see it.
It is not just one thing.
Only if you are dumb.
This is Open Source from the NSA every security deeb on the planet will tear into it hopping to get a paper out of some exploit and big consulting contracts.
Odds are really good it is rock solid.
Or it could be this.
"Poitras has been subject to monitoring by the U.S. Government, which she speculates is because of a wire transfer she sent in 2006 to Iraqi doctor Riyadh al-Adhadh, a suspected Sunni insurgent"
The AS400 and System 38 before it used an "ideal" ISA that the computer then translates when you load the program on to the system. Think of it as an install time compiler.
It would be great if Linux had the same concept built in. You could do it the first time you run the program if need by.
Maybe pick the IBM zseries as the ISA so that you do not tick off Intel, AMD, or ARM.
I never got into Redit. Everytime I tried kept stumbling into the nasty parts.
Shame because every once in a while I find some really good posts that link to Redit subredits.
I do not know about the rarely used part but MUMPS has been around for a very long time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... VistA can use MUMPS for the backend so it is probably still in pretty wide use.

" Ultraviolet is classified into near, medium and far UV according to energy, where near and medium ultraviolet are technically non-ionizing, but where all UV wavelengths can cause photochemical reactions that to some extent mimic ionization (including DNA damage and carcinogenesis)"
Far UV is ionizing and near and medium are close enough to cause the same kind of damage as ionizing radiation so you can treat it as ionizing.
Plus you have a really odd cell phone if it emits UV.
