I agree.
Back at university, our dorm was over 100 years old, and in my home town, just a few weeks ago, a restaurant has been closed and sold that has been run by the same family for almost 120 years.

You're mixing up "historic" and "antique".
Yes, antique is old, but history is made every day. World Wars I & II, Great depression, Civil rights movement, Cold war, Fall of the Warsaw Pact... All that is history! Even though it happend after 1915.
Heck we have historicans and archeologist digging up and recovering the remains of escape tunnels below the German/German-border because they are part of history and considered historically important! And they can still ask the people who dug them for help.
I remember company presentations that announced exactly such a system, but I never saw it acutally build.
It may be viable in newly build neighborhoods if you can build the freight tunnel along with all other underground works.
But the school system wasn't the one doing the development - Pearson was.
Again, if it was some normal product development, aiming at a product that can be sold to multiple school districts, yes. But projects of this size more often are complete custom build software
From the summary, and having not read the article in slashdot tradition, it seems that indeed Pearson made promises of rainbows and unicorns and delivered a sick donkey with a MLP tattoo on it.
Which is why dragging them to court is the right thing to do.
Development costs stay roughly the same, independent on the number of devices.
TLDR: The EU can't break up Google USA, but they can force Google Ireland Holdings to GTFO or change the way it offers services in the EU.
But aren't they just holding companies for the IP (as you explained) and the actual services are provided by a completly different entity? Your search request may run on servers not owned by Google Ireland or Google Netherlands.
Well, had it been connected to a network, an IDS could have raised an alarm that a usb device has been added. Or to rephrase uit for the
And somehow I still don't completly believe the "not connected to a network" thing. How would they transmit the drawn numbers to their frontend sytems? manually? How would this be secured against someone "mistyping" a few digits?
if only there were some way to dehydrate or freeze-dry coffee to make instant coffee.

Thanks, no need to point that out anymore.
Newspaper article promised the return of that assasin as a member of Black and White house* and the death of characters who are still alive in the novels. Reason behind this supposedly is that they don't expect Martin to finish the next volumes on time, so the TV authors already are preparing for writing their own finale.
*sorry, neither read the books nor could be bothered to remember the exact name from the article
Wasn't a split from the "book universe" announced for Season 5?
Right. But "stereotypical Japanese guy" isn't much of a career and being casted as himself is most likely thanks to Trek-fame
Sociopathy is not uncommon to be paired with high intelligence.....
So Phrenology might make its way back into style.
To be fair: the radiation released by a nuclear power plant in normal operation mode isn't a problem.
It's the failure modes that are problematic.
I don't think the summary is right either....what actor launched their career from Harry Potter? What actor launched their career from Twilight? What actor launched a career from Transformers?
I guess that's the thing with series or franchises. Take Star Trek, for example. Except Shattner, who of that cast was able to make an actual career that was not somehow Trek-connected? Nimoy probably relized that he was burnt for anything else when he wrote "I'm not Spock" and had the perspective of hosting mall store openings (and more like stores in a mall, not the mall itself...). Luckily it turned out for him and everyone else on the cast that Star Trek, while destroying even the idea of another career, it could at least support THAT career for 40+ years. Much easier to write "I am Spock" when aged 70+, you still have crowds wearing your signature fake ears.
