Isn't that an unconstitutional ruling that is against his right to redress his government?

I guess Ireland is the new Switzerland of the digital era.

Most commercial developers (meaning those of us who do it for our jobs, meaning most of us I think) would never do this because of confidentiality and intellectual property rights.

XOR isn't useless if properly used with a one time pad, but as with anything, implementation is everything!

You can't say there is no reason for other languages, ASM and C still have their use in very lowlevel code. VHDL/Verilog are relevant to FPGAs which may or may not hold a very important part in the evolution of computers- dynamic chips that can become anything you want and implement a hardware parallelized version of a software algorithm.

While I agree C# and C++ will start to cover a large percentage of the spectrum, the others are not without purpose.

Use in commerce matters too.

Is federal registration of my mark required?
No. In the United States, parties are not required to register their marks to obtain protectable rights.
You can establish “common law” rights in a mark based solely on use of the mark in commerce,
without a registration. However, owning a federal trademark registration on the Principal Register
provides a number of significant advantages over common law rights alone, including:
  A legal presumption of your ownership of the mark and your exclusive right to use the mark
nationwide on or in connection with the goods/services listed in the registration (whereas a
state registration only provides rights within the borders of that one state, and common law
rights exist only for the specific area where the mark is used);
  Public notice of your claim of ownership of the mark;
  Listing in the USPTO’s online databases;

  The ability to record the U.S. registration with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Service
to prevent importation of infringing foreign goods;
  The right to use the federal registration symbol “®
”;
  The ability to bring an action concerning the mark in federal court; and
  The use of the U.S. registration as a basis to obtain registration in foreign countries

Same T1 service used to cost $3k/mo in the 90s. But 1.5Mbps isn't all that great anymore. Even a T3 isn't very impressive at 44Mbps.

I have more bandwidth at my home than the internet service provider I used to run ever did.

moreover the cars GPS is probably a more accurate source anyway, relative to mobile data network variability.

This was a bad move. They can just deny FOIA requests anyway, or otherwise redact the everloving out of them. Why go through the big public thing of saying no and getting all the bad "nice transparency" fluff.

They should use nitrogen asphyxiation. You never would even know.

Ugly lady bumps?

How about something like the NIA?

You could in theory with a custom cart and reading a couple special memory addresses as serial data or something.

"Do you think I've been living under a rock? Either I have and I don't know what this Windows thing is, or I haven't and I know you're scamming me"

The video driver i really separate from the windowing system. The video driver is what allows us to draw pixels on the screen, hopefully while taking advantage of video card resources. X11 / Freon is the Window system which helps organize applications and provide humans with a way to manipulate and switch between applications / workspaces.
