Do you code on a netbook? 2x120=140. At 7px each, which is generous (even if you are using some non-proportional font for archaic reasons or misplaced machismo) that is under 1000px wide.

They are rather abstract, though. They don't force the user to watch a movie about getting identity thefted.

Well American only had pretenses to begin with. Georgetown and then GWU had reputation, and UDC was a nice decently priced "local" school, like the one whose name escapes me (Suffolk?) in Mass where all the Mass politicians went. American

We mock the fools who joined CS programs in undergrad to pursue a love of money but didn't care about computers. Why should we pity the law students? There is still plenty of work available for someone who wants a law degree in order to def

Proprietary code has the EXACT same copyright protection as gpl3. The licensing differences are wholly irrelevant if the user never agrees to the license.

Because this thing that they have never used and isn't yet on the market is the most pressing threat to public safety? Methinks they just want an excuse to subpoena some devices to play with. Or are they going to ban dashboards next, since

Yeah that's a famously annoying bug in bash.

Go has tuple return values and of course input values. The only thing missing is giving a tuples a name. But if you do that, you should make a struct, or you will forget which field is which and have bugs.
