Completely agree.

How would I know that off the top of my head? Do you expect such a local event to always be national news? Edit: https://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+police+officers+were+charged+...

That was an interesting read. Thank you for the link. Do you happen to know off hand if any investigation was actually pursued to track down the missing coins or money?

A private citizen enjoys the right to self-defense, and in cases where killing the assailant is the only means to end the fight and preserve one's life, that is generally held as j…

How much of an effect would linking shared / static libraries have on binary size? Would someone writing assembly tend to avoid using external libraries unlike with HLL?

It looks like you'd be dereferencing the pointer p, but you'd also need to make sure that what p points to has enough memory.

From what I've seen of comedians, they don't appreciate someone talking throughout their set. It is distracting, and it is also insulting to them. (They are paid to perform, and th…

The animation compression system really stood out to me as well. It seems back when hardware was the limitation, people had to be literal geniuses to develop games. Now with so muc…

At that time, FOX was egregious about copyright claim to anything. They worked to take anything offline that was not official, hence licensed. I remember going to fan sites back th…

Most terrorists in the world happen to be brown (and really just because it's the majority race).

There isn't any, but that doesn't mean I appreciate the USA PATRIOT Act or other likewise extra-Constitutional, domestic surveillance BS.

I am certain that someone would have noticed this happening before. Maybe it is a symptom of climate change. Instead of ice being dammed up earlier in the river, it moves further d…

It is very insulting to expect that the experience of working in a factory or mining environment will translate at all as skills necessary for programming.
