A bit north of you, the words "Polish parliament" have a very specific meaning.

I have no idea how the EU court works, but in the US a court could decide the law was unreasonable and infringed on Google's rights, and effectively kill (or neuter) the law.In Europe it's the case too, but nobody believe that this is an infringement of their right.
Only in the UK AFAIK. In the rest of Europe, the role of the court is only to decide whether an action was in accordance with written law or not, not to make up new laws (that's what the parliament is for), or disregard laws if they feel like it. But they do interpret the law though, so I guess the difference is not all that great.

C++ doesn't allow summing a native string and an integer.It does if you define your own operator overload.
C++ does not have any "native string". Adding an integer and a char* works fine though.

I don't expect people like you or Boomzilla, who've repeatedly shown to have entrenched opinions about this, that, and the other, to change your point of view. But the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a very complex one, and can't be brushed off with "these are the good guys and those are the bad guys". You may choose a side, sure, but you'll accomplish nothing.
No, it's not a complex conflict - there are no "good guys", both sides are just as bad. The Israeli should not occupy foreign territory and call it its own, and the Palestinians should not fire rockets at another state. And so on.
My preferred solution would be to just move everyone to an uninhabited island somewhere, and pave the entire area. If someone tells them that "Here, this is your new country, it's a gift from God, promise!", they'll go for it and not even put up a fight. It's been done before, you know.

@drurowin said:Yeah, dynamic linking was created to solve a problem of systems not having sufficient RAM by sharing copies of library objects in memory.That is one of several things it solves.
Almost 100 comments, and no one has yet mentioned that shared objects are required to make the most of your memory cache.
Statically linking everything kills memory performance in addition to just hogging more RAM, making your computer a lot slower.

Hey I didn't know about railroad diagrams. That's pretty cool.I've seen them before in SQLite's syntax documentation, not sure if somewhere else.But apparently it's a thing and not just the name they called them just there.
I first saw them before you were born.

I have it on good authority that the Reptilians will have conquered Earth and enslaved all surviving humans by 2030--2035 at the latest--and their system of time can't be expressed using integral numbers at all.
Well, I have it on good authority that we have until A.D. 2101 before war was beginning.

As I understand it, the applicable rules work like this: Making fires counts as work; electric sparks count as fires; making or breaking an electric circuit involves the possibility of causing a spark.
So why not just use a spark-free switch? Just use a solid-state relay or somesuch.
Or just leave the circuit completed all the time, but let only a few microamps through when the lamp is not supposed to be shining.

@Adanine said:Not to mention, if someone goes batshit crazy over every "Threat to his security", never wants to be identified at all and constantly prevents any piece of information about him being in the hands of anyone else... I kinda want my Government to track that guy.I can understand your concern, but why would you care? How often are bad things done by people who are that paranoid about their privacy? Those people are trying to stay out of the spotlight. It seems like the vast, vast majority of crimes are committed by people who have a large footprint of public data.
People who have unscheduled appointments with money transports and jewellers stores (and a few days later a scheduled appointment with their house in Thailand) are often very paranoid about their privacy. So yes, excessive privacy seeking is an indicator of possible maliciousness.
