PHP and javascript are both fully functional programming languages even if both have flaws. CSS and HTML on the other hand are for web markup and display.

Form the NSA's perspective, they are interested in security - while the NSA itself has numerous means of getting into a system (including some legal ones!), they don't want China or random hackers to be taking control of systems. They're overall goal is security of the US, so while one arm is doing that by trying to collect all the information, another arm is doing that by locking down everything.

My bank changed me a fee for not using my account in a couple years. It had no money in it, so it was then overdrawn by $10 which they charged another fee for. I called them up and they removed it saying it was "just go get people's attention"

Was that a couple years ago? The FAA recently loosened restrictions on using devices including using them more of the flight and allowing wifi (cellphones still need to be in airplane mode which turns of the cell transmitter).

Really that's just assembling but fewer of the parts came preassembled. Until you've smelted your own metal for wires and designed your own processor, you're just plugging in a few more parts

There's a difference between creating a product and creating a market for a product. The feature-phone/smartphone market was pretty much stagnating until Apple released their iPhone, at which point it took off. Android helped, but that was a bit later.

The blog is in the summary...

It CAN do anything but it's hard to mass produce properly. All these cool lab uses have been able to make small quantities, but it would be too expensive to make it that way. Small imperfections can mess up a batch.

Funny you should mention that since this very blog had a length article discussing that topic. It's gone now that match.com bought them out, but you can still find it in archives.

Some ISPs have started offering a "no sports" package that's cheaper and doesn't include it. For Verizon's plan, it's $25 cheaper.

Probably because he likes reading and wanted to read those 1300 books

It works for a little while, but it still depends on the network having a public IP. A lot of ISPs, especially in Asian countries, have started implementing NAT level IP which means no UPnP and not even manual port forwarding.

Yes - clearly you should never type your passwords for online services into anything that might be connected to the Internet.

I don't use LastPass for more important sites like banking (or even email), but I certainly use it to generate and store a secure password for all the random web forums I visit.

Yes, the speed limit is typically a maximum of 65mph with a few of the big open space states that go up to 75mph. While people typically do drive 70-80, most people don't get experience driving 100, and the traffic certainly wouldn't have been giving way for him to be driving that fast in the left lane so he almost certainly would need to weave around.

No, they just followed it closely enough to see where it landed
