It's an allusion to the Turing award winning computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra's letter "'Go to' considered harmful" which detailed the many problems inherent in the use of the goto command when programming. "Goto" as such has largely been eliminated from most modern programming languages.

Nope. Back in to '00s, we compared some older ones we still had to the newer ones. The scents had significantly decreased. I'll admit my sense of smell isn't what it used to be, but side-by-side comparisons confirmed our impression that Yankee Candle wasn't what it was. Kittredge also noticed the decline in quality and later founded Kringle Candle with his son in an effort to bring some quality back.

There is that, but we were getting them from the Yankee Candle outlets, and occasionally from the flagship store. They just ain't what they used to be.

Yankee Candle's quality starting plummeting shortly after the founder Michael Kittredge sold the place in 1998. Twenty years ago, they were still the best. Ten years ago, they barely smelled like anything. We haven't bought one of their candles in five years or so, but I don't think it's the customers's olfactory nerves that are the problem.

You got the dates wrong in that Obama took the presidency in 2009, not 2016. His initial speech to joint session of Congress was on 2/24/2009: https://web.archive.org/web/20... See a link here?

The civic was considered a subcompact up through the 2000 model. The 2001 model had more interior room than its predecessor, and so was reclassified a compact. The exterior dimensions did increase, peaking in the late 00's. Today, the smallest 2018 civic is 2" longer and 4" wider than the largest 1998 civic was.

Illinois, which voted for Hillary, was hacked.

Such as the 2017 Mercedes CLA45-4Matic? Quarter mile in 12.8 seconds, according to Car and Driver.

D'oh! Of course you are right. For some reason I had visions of pool cues in my head.

I believe the word you are looking for is "queue".

This response was written on an SP4 with 16GB, which I use in my job to write code and share information. Yes, it runs Linux. Yes, it runs AmiDuos, meaning I can use pretty much any Android app as well. It's actually a much nicer machine than I expected it to be.

Feinstein, a member of the US Congress, doesn't actually have any authority over the UC system. Governor Jerry Brown and the state legislature yes, US Senate, no. So, is she supposed to give a job to everyone in the UC system that gets outsourced? Really?

Yes, it only took 37 years to reinvent the Atari 400.

Android phone in my trouser pocket or the pocket in front of me. Bluetooth earbuds clipped to my shirt. Minimal projectile risk, and music playing into my ears. How is this a problem?

Actually, the Federalists and Washington got along quite well. Everything up to that, I'll agree with.

Shouldn't that depend on how high you fly it? If it's above the cloud layer, you'd take out that interference. If you can float it in a constant noon orbit, wouldn't you maximize exposure?
