I have heated seats in my car too. Cloth. GP says that heated leather seats are nice in the winter, but you know what is nicer? Heated cloth. I won't completely freeze your ass before the heating comes up to temperature. Cloth is better on a hot day too- just try sitting on a hot cloth seat with shorts and compare to a hot leather seat. I love the feeling of leather but it is only really best on medium-temperature days.
well, as long as we have moved to arguing over seat material you know what's better than cloth? leather! dog hair, vomit, mud, and just about everything else wipes right off of leather. cloth seats just assimilate all that stuff like the borg.
Or maybe we could draw the conclusion that people chose to buy cars because they are the best fit for their individual situations, not because there is some absolute best car.
The infection ordinarily resolves leaving the patient with a specific immunity to re-infection.
Both cannot be true.
isn't this the case with chicken pox? I had it as a kid. I'm now immune. As i understand it, the virus is still lurking within me and can make a comeback at some point, if i am severely weakened, as shingles.
Here's an interesting thought in regards to mosquitoes. The only ones that bite are the females when they're going to lay eggs, since they need tho protein for the eggs.
So when one bites you, and then goes off to lay eggs, the new mosquitoes that originate are created from *your protein* Like was created from your blood!
It's like you have little yous flying around:)
And my blood is made out of mosquitoes that i have eaten while riding my bike! My whole existence is like a man-mosquito ouroboros!
There is more to back up than technical knowledge. We've bypassed the technology of the mayans and other ancient supercultures (assuming you aren't buying into the ideas that they had alien tech and stuff), but we still have an interest in learning about them. I know slashdot is a crowd obsessed with tech over culture, but cultural knowledge is valuable. TFS jokes about it, but honestly, backing up facebook would probably be incredibly interesting to a future civilization.
Oh, and you can totally develop apps for free without paying $100/yr subscription. idk who told you you couldn't. Open up XCode & begin.
I say this as a longtime IOS user and developer. You can download the sdk and develop apps for the ios simulator for free. getting your phone provisioned to run those apps requires a toll.
Right now nobody knows how much my account is worth. If i allow this "tool" to scan my account, they create a metric of value where none existed before. I don't know what they do with that information. They probably sell it.
also, it should make cities into a skateboarding nirvana! I can ride the streets with abandon as the robot cars deftly avoid me! Drivers won't get pissed off. i won't get killed. it's gonna be great!
Ever wonder how Google packed all of the Google Glass functionality into a slender eyeglass frame?
I honestly don't know what all that functionality is. what exactly it's good at has so far been a lot of hype and conjecture. AFIK it's really just a secondary display for your cellphone.
doesn't the rail station just become the air terminal then? I am under the assumption that the crowded conditions at airports is due to all the people who want to get on a plane. If you get on your plane at a train station, then you will see the same people there.
Sure it looks nice next to your kitchen aid blender right now, but these bugs will make it look like crap in a few days.
I spent a good many years of my life taking care of reptiles. Part of this involved growing all kinds of food items from fruit flies to cockroaches. Most of these things turn their housings into a shit encrusted shell relatively quickly. it's not the kind of thing you want in the kitchen. It also quickly turns into a ton of work. You'd have to be feeding your bugs every day, cleaning up the shit, removing dead bugs.
It was a ton of work to raise crickets and mealworms to keep a few lizards alive. It would be even harder if i was raising them to feed me. I've got no issues with eating bugs. I've done it a lot actually. I'd prefer to just pay someone to raise them for me though.
I went to school for art. I have no degree to show for it. I always had an interest in comp-sci, but never pursued it beyond a hobby in school. Now i'm a senior engineer at a big software company making cool stuff. I'm well respected by my peers and have never had a hard time getting a job in this industry. I suck at differential equations (I am good at vector and matrix math, and well, i can apply quaternions. my forte is graphics libraries like open gl and direct x). I probably don't suck so much as i've never had a math class beyond advanced algebra, but there's a lot more to being a productive member of a programming team than solving differential equations.
What matters is that you can get good solid work done.
While device buying is profitable for apple, i don't think their model entirely revolves around getting you to buy the next device. It's more about digital purchases and locking you into their ecosystem. They are perfectly happy for you to keep your 3 year old device as long as you continue to use their cloud storage, buy mp3s on itunes, and get every new angry birds.
Do you ban yourself from New York because of the $3500 fee they charge for filming in certain public buildings?
Maybe.
Just point me to the articles detailing how NYC is hounding people to pony up for making video calls from the top of the empire state building. My indignation is ready to flow!
Yeah, if TV was perfect I could just pay for a couple channels. But, do we need legislation to ensure I get the kind of TV package I want? This isn't a life or death situation. This isn't an inalienable human right. It's TV channels! It's one of the ultimate luxuries in the history of the world. Has tv ever really enriched anyone's life THAT MUCH?
Right now i have the option, as a consumer, to not pay for any tv channels. I exercise that option. You know what? I'm actually really happy with my decision. I get more than enough entertainment through netflix and online games. Yes. TV packages are a bad deal, but it's not like we, as consumers, don't have options.
When i think about it, subscribing to a channel isn't even what i really want. What I want is just a' la carte shows. Even with a channel you are locked into that channel's schedule. It's archaic and backwards if you ask me. Oh look, those options like netflix and hulu (and pirating) are already giving a superior option in my opinion.
Delivery is OK but I think you get a worse selection of fresh produce than if you go and pick in person. You also miss the special offers that you see round the store
I use a delivery service. At first i was leary of getting the produce. My original plan was to just use it to stock up on canned and dry goods and get my own produce.
Still i ordered a couple peppers here and there. It turns out it isn't any worse than what i would pick myself. Now we routinely just have everything delivered. I hypothesize that delivery services are motivated to bring good produce because they know that's what everyone is going to complain about when they don't.

They didn't assess how intelligent this AI is. They assessed the IQ test and found it to be a poor indication of intelligence.
From the summary:
It never leaves the body and symptoms can be triggered again.

Normal people go broke all the time as well. There was a point in my life when i went broke ever 2 weeks!

remember how easy it was to learn to wave? it only took years. Remember how long it took to learn to kick a ball? maybe 10 - 12 years.

How is apple preventing you from buying an android device?
bandwidth seems to be a physical limitation. netflix can only push so many electrons in a given hour.
If you are expecting any control over anything you post to facebook, you are sorely misguided.

as long most of their time is spent cashing app store checks, what incentive is there to change?

Privileged kids do have advantages. There's no doubt about it. I think examples abound of people succeeding in spite of adversity though.
