I can say that I've noticed this desire in myself, although never acted on it... But in games where I know I have a skill advantage, and have won before, the temptation to cheat, as a short cut measure, becomes strong. The mentality is one of "well, I know I'm capable of getting to that point, so is it really cheating if I just skip to that part?" Yes, yes it is. And I have to remind myself of that each. freaking. time.
I thought It was just me, but it turns out to be human nature I guess?
Filing for chapter 11, is not the same as filing for bankruptcy.
Chapter 11 is bankruptcy protection, It's basically saying "Creditors, hold off a sec, lets see if we can make this work our so we can still pay you and not actually go bankrupt."
Um, that's totally not true. Most barcode scanners just show up as USB keyboards, and most places don't bother to change them out of their default config.
Also, most discount cards, if they aren't 2D barcodes, are 1D Code128 codes.
Hmm, Interesting. Well then I guess even that's out the window!
The only reason I had given that theory any credit in the past was because I know someone who was suffering bone loss on the one side of their hip, and the doctor had said that it was due to the cell phone.
I went home and researched it, and low and behold these studies were being conducted, and the info seemed to suggest at that time that there was a link, but that was a good 6-7 years ago... I didn't bother checking for new developments.
The thing that pisses me off most about the whole "Cell phones/EMFs cause cancer" thing is that it takes attention away from what damage they really do.
Very few people know that it's actually been proven that Cell phones cause bone density loss, especially in older people. So if you are always keeping your cell phone in the same pocket for many years, years down the line, that hip has a high chance of becoming frail because the mild heating affect of the EM can cause premature cell death.
Of course people are too worried that they are going to get cancer from their cell phone -- which has been proven time and time again to not be a thing -- and instead don't learn about the real risks.
This doesn't really make sense to me. What scenario would you have an exclusive OR situation like this?
I would think trying to hit both would be the best way to dissipate the energy less violently, thereby increasing survivability. This is assuming none of the traffic is oncoming.
I wouldn't say it's a silly analogy. The fact of the matter is, the far majority of automatic transmissions in new cars these days are still using a torque converter, and really don't compare in anyway to a manual transmission.
As for the 95% of people who can't shift fast enough, that's why 95% of cars are sold as automatics. I don't think its a question of skill anyway, I think its a question of willingness of the driver to improve their skills.
...Your parent was suggesting that uninstalling Java was better than fixing the security hole.
I think that was because he was implying that Java isn't used anywhere enough now a days to warrant it being installed on client systems, for the most part.
This is the single most offensive thing I have ever heard come out of MY public school system. I am ashamed, not only that this is happening in my country, but that this is occurring in my home province, and near my home town.
What detritus, and to think it's coming out of the people who teach our kids.
I can not explain how much this upsets me. Shameful.

For an employer to tell their employees to do or take a political stance?

Of course, if you're using an Apple device that wont work.
What makes you say this? It totally works. I use a USB cable that only has the power pins and no data pins connected all the time.
Um, that's totally not true. Most barcode scanners just show up as USB keyboards, and most places don't bother to change them out of their default config.

I assume you're joking, but that's kinda how the world has become unfortunately.
"Toronto police are reporting that 2 unconfirmed suicides have been linked to the data breach."
The suicides are unconfirmed or the links are unconfirmed? Because last I checked it's not to fucking difficult to tell if someone is alive or dead.
When I see things like this, I start to think... Just maybe, us humans will turn out just fine...
To quote a co-worker when the idea of raising the temperature in the office came up:

As someone who competed in FIRST as a kid, I'm glad that they are still pushing things forward.
It was an incredible experience.
That sounds... almost sad... as if you weren't just saying goodbye to the job, but the whole thing, friends and everything.
Must have given a real sense of finality to it.
That's a poor decision on Mozilla's part.

I think the key phrase is "when engaged".
Drive an auto, then drive a manual and tell me that you can't feel the difference.
There is a very real difference. Only someone who doesn't drive a manual would try to argue otherwise.

Actually, If you look at those studies closely, most of them say that there is no link, just a slight correlation.
Those studies are usually mis quoted, or taken out of context. Assuming they are not bias.
Well shit, If it kills bees, It's gotta kill us!
I, for one, welcome our new cat brained electronic overlords.
This is the most disappointing virtual keyboard I have seen in ages. It's not even big enough to let you hold your fingers over the home row.
Wow. That just happened...
