The problem is that you should not need someone to support a _datafile_ Though it is reasonable to expect that support for application is required in the OS/libraries/framework/...

So are you able to access (and interpret) your datafile after Apple dropped support for iTunes in XP? If yes, then there is little room for complaints. If no, then it's a bummer. If your data are remote and you did not get a chance to grab them before the remote location became inaccessible, then blame the service.

Amazing! That's the same combination I have on my luggage!

... and I even considered complaining - but I was running short on time ...

You are under pressure. Running out of time. In danger of missing your flight and blowing up the subsequent schedule ... in another words: you hold the short end of the stick. It obviously works as designed.

Well... are the number of murdering TSA agents greater than other professions?

Doesn't have the sampling process be random in order to maintain the ratio of trait T in the overall population and in the sample? If yes, does it meant that TSA agents are picked at random from overall population? I sincerely hope they aren't.

Ah, what ever happened to folks who thought like this:

They ... claimed copyright?

I actually turned myself into a Democrat (You can easily switch parties in Oregon. There's a website. it takes just a few moments.) so I could vote AGAINST Hillary in the primary.

You can't vote for a member of party B if you are registered for party A? How ... quaint!

As others said, don't force your hobby on him. But a child always mimics its parents. If you are coding at home and your son sees you and sits next to you and watches you, just don't tell him to leave you alone because he disrupts your focus. Answer his questions, try to explain what you are doing, ask what would he like to make, do a first few projects for him and with him. It may take time until he shows the initiative but it should be up to him how fast and how far he wants to go. Your role is to support him.

It will reduce number of suicidal pilots by one half !

Driving is boring, people don't pay attention to the road, is the solution to make it more boring?

I'm not sure if we want to make it more boring. But I'll take "more boring" over "adrenaline rush" any day when I just want to drive a car.

You voted for a politician. That is miles away from voting on a law.

Law is part of the agreement between citizens and their government.

I can't really say that I don't like your comment "per se", but ... when was the list time you were involved in negotiation of an "agreement between citizens and government"? Did someone come to you and asked what should be in the law?

May I kindly ask the agencies to use Evil Bit so that I can identify lawful attempts to hack my system? I don't want to accidentally hack the agency in the heat of furious self-defense efforts.

On Customs Checkpoint I usually hold my identification in my hand. It called a passport. It can be verified and tracked back to my country of origin. It likely also already contains a hash of my biometric data. It is also usually checked by US Embassy before I start my travel.

Now let's say I go to USA and get my biometrics scanned at the checkpoint. What is that good for if I'm not on a watch list? And most importantly - what is going to happen with the scanned data after it is determined that I'm not on a watch list?
