If one were to press charges against an IVF clinic I can imagine few greater uses of jury nullification.

How did it take them 80 years to find a bomb in a back yard? Is it a large yard? Was the bomb buried?

Although not true, I give this a pass for being a Nirvana lyric.

Software developers who never have, and never will have to, use the software for real.

Yes. The customer doesn't necessarily know what's possible or know how to articulate what features they want. I spent one week in a position where I was using my own software for production and immediately made several simple enhancements once I had hands on experience with the expected business process.

Every programmer should go through an exercise like this at least once in a while.

Is that all it does? Is HP so backwards that they introduce a whole new attack surface just to store a date stamp?

...Actually don't answer that.

There's no way this would have been admissable as evidence on its own.

More than 100 million Americans are under winter alerts Friday as a storm hits the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast and another brutal surge of Arctic air pushes into the South.

Sopranos, Game of Thrones. Basically anything produced for HBO.

I caught the first 2-1/2 seasons of The Wire because of a promotion on Hulu.

It boils down to: I'm a cheapskate.

On one hand, 360hz seems imperceptibly faster than 240hz for human eyes.

On the other hand, if you get enough frames in, you don't have to worry about simulating motion blur.

They've been separate desktop environments from the start. From top to bottom they share nearly nothing. The compositors, window managers, toolkits and shells are all different.

They also are ideologically opposed. If they merged, which direction would they go? The more feature-rich KDE? Or the more streamlined Gnome? Such a merger would lead to infighting and stagnation.

This is before even talking about the actual code underlying both environments.

I think it's better for everyone if they stay as two separate projects.

A former Baltimore Police sergeant who in May pleaded guilty to misconduct in office will avoid a prison sentence.

Ethan Newberg was accused by prosecutors of a series of unjustified arrests in 2018 and 2019, in which the former Southwestern District sergeant would detain bystanders, often those who criticized his police actions or attempted to record him. His actions were derided publicly when he was first criminally charged in 2021 by the then-police commissioner as “not just wrong, but deeply disturbing and illegal.”

...

Prosecutors requested that Taylor sentence Newberg to 36 months of incarceration, while defense attorney Joe Murtha asked for no jail time.

 

One of my favorite novelty projects.
