Which also happens to be the country in which Slashdot operates.

Yet.

Both the USA and Great Britain agree about the illegality of a copying service with no substantial non-infringing use. What makes you think courts in other countries that have signed the same copyright treaty won't reach the same conclusion when the MPA (the MPAA's foreign division) goes into those countries?

The Game Boy Color version of Daikatana actually didn't suck. So perhaps what they needed to do was repackage the GBC game and wrap it up in one of those newfangled hi-res emulators that replaces each of the game's 8x8 pixel tiles with a redrawn high-res 32x32 pixel tile. (See "HiSMS".) This would blow the game up to a 640x576 window.

Does a deaf person signing to another deaf person look "like and idiot or an insane person"?

Probably because multicast doesn't work over the public Internet. It works only on a particular ISP's network.

Where do you live and how much does it cost to move there?

The fact that Internet protocols use 8-bit bytes and either ASCII or its superset UTF-8.

Last time I checked, the C standard offered no facility for networking, graphics, or even enumeration of the files in a directory. This means most nontrivial interactive programs will need to use POSIX or Windows functions, which are defined in the POSIX and Win32 specifications but are undefined behavior from the perspective of the C standard, in order to access the data that the program is (de)serializing in the first place. Or is there a portable way to do this that I'm somehow missing?

What's wrong with making assumptions about implementation-defined behaviors and using static assertions to verify them? For example, would it be poor form to assume (and assert) things like 8-bit bytes or that the character set is ASCII, and if so, why?

extern char assert_8bitbytes[(
    CHAR_BIT == 8 && sizeof(uint32_t) == 4
) ? 1 : -1];
extern char assert_ascii[(
    'A' == 0x41 && 's' == 0x73
) ? 1 : -1];

This way, the compiler will fail and kick out a diagnostic if the environment doesn't match the assumptions.

How would that work? Unlike Windows 7, Windows 8 automatically performs activation over the Internet during setup.

"followed by a four-month probationary stint with an accredited taxi company"

How did the first taxi company become accredited?

I'd be interested to see where you get the idea that "one court in one jurisdiction" recognizes the legal theory of contributory infringement. Napster, Aimster, Grokster...

"Pretty soon we'll be posting openings for technologies X, Y, and Z, so bone up on those" would be a start. Or "Customer service representatives need to be understandable on the phone. Here are some videos about improving your speech."

Sometimes you have to request the rejection letter by following up a week after the last contact to check the status of your job app.

Would the program look anything like SBA loans and grants or the several states' urban renewal programs?

Perl existed before PHP. Why was it so much easier to make a standard image for PHP than for Perl?

Anti-discrimination laws keep older people from becoming long-term unemployed before they are old enough to qualify for social security. Long-term unemployment is associated with increased costs to the government to control crime.
