My stock radio antenna is built into my rear window... actual issue.
I don't want to buy an external GPS antenna, my GPS worked just fine until this was passed... actual issue.
I like to open my garage door at the end of the street so it's all the way up when I pull into the driveway... actual issue.
Agreed on the cell phone... non-issue.
I took a SF/Fantasy class back in HS. When I signed up for the class I was not interested in either genre, but my choices that semester were: Modern Poetry, SF/Fantasy, or Shakespeare.
Needless to say - I ended up really enjoying the class. Here is how I remember it going:
- Started with a few short stories to ease us into the concept (wish I could remember them... the only one that sticks out was one about someone fleeing and running and in the end you find out it's an AI/Robot)
- We had to read three novels from a very wide list (Adam's "Hitchhiker's Guide", Verne's "Time Machine", Card's "Ender's Game", "Brave New World", Edding's "Belgariad", Tolkien's "The Hobbit", Bradburry's "Fahrenheit 451", so many more)
- Somehow we managed to fit in a lot of Twilight Zone episodes to get exposure to the more creative side of the genre.
- While there were no formal "book reports" the students ended up talking to each other about their books... needless to say - I've ended up reading and owning just about every single book offered in that class.
Long story short, great class - got me hooked on SF/Fantasy. I suggest taking a similar approach and just providing students with a suggested list and cut them loose. It worked really well. I can remember several students who started a book, hated it, and switched to another before they found the reading list they wanted.
I can produce 100 barrels per day.
Selling at market price of $1 per barrel - I sell 90 barrels per day ($90).
Faced with a growing stockpile I can do several things:
- Stockpile the other 10 and hope for a spike in demand.
- Decrease production and layoff some folks/shutdown some equipment.
- Sell my full capacity at $0.91 per barrel (below market), and make an extra buck ($91 total).
I RTFA and still fail to see how this will "erode the SSD market". For example, I have a drive with 100+ GB of data on it (music, photos, documents, source code, backups)... my interactions with that drive are completely random and unpredictable. Yes, you COULD cache the entire source code folder when I start up my IDE, but what if I want to listen to some music on shuffle while I'm doing that, or add an image file from the photo directory to the source code... there goes the caching strategy.
We were in the 'Niagara on the Lakes" area a few years back and they had these same parking meters (credit card swipes and 1-800 numbers printed on them) at every parking spot. I remember commenting to my wife about how convenient that was. I'm guessing the meters were connected via LAN.

I think the "plain"-ness of the app is partly responsible for it's speed (at least the client duties). There isn't a whole lot of flashy css and there are no images at all... that's less for the client to parse and assemble which helps it render faster. Just my $0.02...
No, you could go into holding for UP TO three days. There's a big difference between "up to three days" and "three days". Once they have determined your identity, and run that identity through a database to verify you have no warrants they are required to let you go immediately. Three days used to be necessary to verify an identity and check warrants, but in the modern age these checks are done almost instantly. Any cop worth a dime knows that he'd have a pretty tough time explaining to a judge why it took three days to type your name into a computer terminal. Just another example of a law that needs to be revised to take into account our "information on demand" society.
How do you plan on launching the cargo into orbit without the "whole friggin orbiter".
By your logic my internet bill should be $0.35 a month since it's unreasonable for me to pay for the infrastructure to deliver said internet... only the ones and zeros it carries.
Anyone else notice that the story has now changed to a "Columbus, Georgia" man... yet the links on the linked news article still show "Columbus, Ohio"... Didn't they cover this problem in the movie Tommy Boy?
Which comes out to anywhere from $2,424.25 / lb to $3,030.30 / lb.. Assuming the light saber weighs one pound... and averaging the costs... sending the saber will cost $2,727.28.

3/4 complaints are valid.

I concur - I picked up a 323 a few months ago and couldn't be happier. Very small physical device so it takes up virtually no desk space.

How much does a shuttle launch cost: $400-$500 million
How much does a shuttle weigh: 165,000 lbs
