The projects are more interesting and feel like they are actually benefiting humanity, rather than making money for some random company. Though there can be a lot more bureaucracy and friction. Pay is certainly less, though sometimes the benefits can be better.
There's also annoyances coming from political things, such as the budget not being done on time so no one gets paid or there are furlough days.

Try something like Glucerna. It's like Ensure but for diabetics, so it has a lot less sugar and carbs.

I would consider 'sed 4d' to be significantly easier than doing the same in Perl, but I don't disagree that it's not that hard to do in either.
scdlbx | 11 years ago | on: Sed – An Introduction and Tutorial
It's a lot easier to delete specific lines using sed. Also you can have sed do replacements to the n'th instance of something. Doing that in Perl is a bit more complicated and a lot less succint.
$ echo "foo foo foo foo" | sed 's/foo/bar/3'
foo foo bar foo

It varies state by state and can depend on what kind of road you are on. Most states define a default speed limit for roads and highways.

Allowing vast portions of the internet to be vulnerable to an exploit that leaks passwords and private keys seems like it is not in the interest of the security of the nation.

If you can maliciously drive an armored car onto a missile silo in a military base, you have already owned the military base.

An unfamiliar favicon lets me know I am not somewhere I normally would be, and to regard the site I am at more suspiciously. Without familiar favicons, I would treat every site that way before looking at the page more thoroughly. Obviously I do not rely solely on favicons, but they are a good initial way of orienting myself when looking at tabs.

I can distinguish the icons of every site I visit on a semi-regular basis.

The assailant's body did a pretty good job of containing the explosion. The assailant didn't make it, but everyone else relatively okay.

It is not that big compared to the guns on a destroyer or a battleship. It is still large and bulky, but not that far off.
