Except Bender's serial number is very clearly stated in "The Lesser of Two Evils" as 2716057. Don't know why the author says otherwise. See http://futurama.wikia.com/wiki/Bender (and I just checked

See my comment here[1]. While I'm not normally a government apologist, from the unsealed court documents, it appears that they did everything by the book here. The original order was for metadata related to a single, specific named acc

I'm not a bit coin user, but that appears to be an attack on a "remote management" password for the client (it's about "RPC" or "remote procedure call" authentication), not for the wallet. Wallets use

His alleged crimes spanned multiple jurisdictions, so they're allowed to venue shop. As to why they chose it, I imagine it's convenient for the attorneys or LEOs who worked the case. If you read the complaint, they actually make s

That doesn't mean that all the horses run at the same speed - it just means that an individual horse doesn't speed up or slow down while running - if its average speed is 17.2 MPH, it runs at 17.2 MPH for the whole course.

I've heard they're losing their best talent left, right, and center. Between that and stuff like this, I wonder how much longer Zynga can keep going at this rate?

Actually, in the US, discrimination against younger people isn't illegal - it's only illegal to discriminate the other way 'round.

I do this by going to the water cooler for a refill. I use a small cup, so I go every hour or so. I usually take the slow way there, and think about my work on the way.

I carry a pocket knife every day; some of mine are assisted open, others are not. I have a small preference towards assisted open ones because they are easier to operate one handed, though I can open a simple folder with a really loose hing

Every plane I've flown on has an AED symbol or mention of AED (as well as medical kit) marked in one of the reserved overhead bins near the front of the plane - I'm pretty sure they're standard issue on every commercial airliner.

That's the difference between criminal and civil liability. For criminal liability, it is exactly how you describe. Each actor is individually responsible for their actions, the actions of others don't reduce this. However, for civil liabil
