Exactly property rights explicitly do not apply to radio waves. You must not interfere with radio signals on your property, except through static structures (you're perfectly at liberty to build a faraday cage on your property). Proper

Have you looked at the price of radio spectrum recently ? This would never fly. Even a small sliver of spectrum for one country costs more than Marriott is worth. Which is of course why they're trying to get it for free.

Well this is the whole reason of the FCC's existence. The FCC is the only organisation allowed to interfere with other's radio signals. Radio waves are one of the explicit exceptions to property rights. The others are mining right

I've worked for classified organisations and they don't do this, because it's unsafe. For instance that VM would have to be an http server to actually see the data, it would have to run on a managed (through sssh ?) host, ...

I wonder how this reasoning applies to human foetuses ... If the argument that killing is a necessity for free-er sex is judged to be moral, then how could you possibly judge against someone killing for survival ? Hell, how could you possib

Where's the fun in the simple straightforward implementation ? How would you judge a candidate that, on the spot, decided to go with a new way to solve it just so (s)he could see if it worked out well. For example ... something like th

It is just extremely frustrating to see them using contradictory arguments for various parts of the language. This is a very liberal way to do this, which contradicts most of the rest of the language (library dependencies, language itself,

And if you don't have the dependencies this requires ? Given this design, why would the library author even specify/include the tool required ? Or worse: what if there's a tool called "stringer" on your device that

Firstly the problem is not the location of the house. A similar rise in house prices has occurred outside of expensive suburbs. When your parents bought said house is was worth ~15 years of rent. Today that number is pretty much 60 nationwi

I think that stopped because it became no longer financially feasible. In the 60s it was easily doable (for a man) to be the breadwinner for a family of 4-5, even 6 people. Anno 2014, It's just not possible anymore. A household, especi

There's this thing called aging. It's really quite a universal problem. It means that if you marry for sex, it's not going to last. Skipping it also leads to not lasting though.

Maybe it's as simple as this : Start a new research. Work with 1-sigma significance (~2% error rate allowed). Then investigate the favorite brand of soup of the brothers of cured cancer patients. Make sure to research about 50 brands.

It has relevance to generics. Right now the question implies Go does not have generics, which is not true at all. The question should be reworded : Go has generic types and generic/polymorphic functions. Therefore all the focus on that

Here's a hint. Write a Windows 3.1 program in C (don't worry, it runs fine in windows 8). In those programs the event loop is extremely visible, and you'll understand how everything works even in modern languages. Effectively
