Of course, eventually Google turned into another advertisement-riddled, cluttered portal, full of spam and irrelevant junk. The more things change...
Is google.com an "advertisement-riddled, cluttered portal, full of spam and irrelevant junk"?
Yes, there's the toolbar of links at the top, but it's still very quick to load (and as someone else repeated long ago when I mentioned I go to google to see if my net connection is working, google is the dial tone of the web.)
Since yahoo broke their news links (for many years, I've had links to business, tech, etc., sub-pages to news.yahoo.com and open them in tabs.. a few weeks ago, yahoo broke most of those), I've been trying google's news pages.. they don't work as well, since it expands the link with more detail even if you just cmd-click on it to open the article in another tab...
So you're so hard up that you feel that you'll lose control over when making a major purchase because of the looks of the sales person? Sorry dude but buying the expensive booze when the bartender is hot is one thing, spending thousands of dollars more when you already decided on a car is another. It makes you look like you have some kind of problem.
No, they sound like the same thing, except in quantity of "extra money" spent.
You help the nice lady with her luggage because of evolution. Subconsciously, you think she might "do it" with you, thus (until modern birth control) furthering your DNA.
Upon rereading, I realize you were responding to the "serious advocate of alternative-only medicine and vegan diets for treating/preventing terrible or even terminal illness" part...
However, at first it seemed like you were giving another example of pancreatic cancer.
Just to be clear, Kaufman died (or did he?? just kidding) of a form of lung cancer, despite not smoking.
They're Christian, yet if you talk to outsiders, etc., you get shunned or kicked out.
(Yes, I admit my most recent info comes from the various reality shows, including the current one on Discovery, with ex-Amish. One guy's mother left her family because she was being shunned for continuing to talk to her son.)
I admit I eat McDonalds. I eat it much less frequently than I used to, but hot McDonalds french fries are one of my favorite foods. I like the actual burgers/sandwiches better at other places, so eat there much less frequently than I did as a kid. They did have a buy 1 get 1 free for some of their new burgers last week, that got me in though. Still won't pay $3.99 for those burgers, though they were pretty decent.
What current EVs are *not* is a replacement for an automobile for more general transportation purposes.
But I suspect (since I have no citation) that "commuter vehicles" (and shopping at the grocery store/Costco) IS what the vast majority of the U.S. population does for "general transportation purposes". A commuter vehicle *IS* general transportation for most people. That's why even the EV1 was sufficient for 80% of people (if I remember the movie quote correctly).
I don't think I've ever played a Kinect game. (I've barely played on any Xbox at all.. I think I played with an EyeToy once in a store.)
With the success of the Wii (orig, not Wii U), why are you bashing an attempt to do even more advanced things, without having to hold a controller in your hand? At least the demos made the new Kinect much more high tech.
Just like voice control isn't appropriate for everything, I don't think gesture controls are appropriate for everything... But it can make some games that you can't do easily with other input. Some games do need more than an 8 way joystick with a red button.
doing almost anything in git is more complicated and more work than doing the same thing in svn.
I'd say the same thing about cvs vs svn. No, cvs was not the first source repository system I used either. If svn really was just "a better cvs", basically a superset, I'd like it. Dealing with the !@$ URLs vs just "cvs tag MYProject-35" and having to tag before I do the build, rather than tag right before submission (based upon my local source copy)..
100 mile range is FAR more than most people need for their everyday needs.
I don't have an electric car yet, but I'm virtually positive my next car will be one. (A Prius would likely be the _worst_ car I'd get, unless my current car dies and I need a car NOW.)
I too have 'range anxiety' a bit, but even the Leaf will go far longer than I need to in a day.
Yes, there is the guide data. That affords recording your shows, EVEN WHEN THEY CHANGE TIME SLOTS (assuming it wasn't done at the very last minute -- i.e. within a day it "just works"). I actually micromanage the Tivo recording more than most people (and definitely more than necessary), e.g. checking the to do list frequently, sometimes manually rescheduling recordings if I'm close to full, etc.
Auto-recording wishlists are more powerful than any of the other keyword-based schemes on other DVRs I've used.
I have PLENTY of things I would make better about TiVo (and I *definitely* disagree with the "responsive" part.. the HD UI is RIDICULOUSLY slow), but mostly it "just works", better than the others.
Plus, the summary and presumably article are wrong about OTA being "brought back". Yes, the very newest Tivos (e.g. the Premiere 4, of which I have one) can record only from digital cable.. But they continue to make and sell Tivos that record from OTA. (They only have 2 tuners though.)
If you are using a machine that would otherwise be off, don't you pay more in electricity to run the machine doing the mining than you earn? I thought previous reports have said this. (Maybe if you already have a server running it can be worthwhile.
While it does seem odd at first to tax this, *once one agrees to the idea of any income tax at all*, this seems perfectly reasonable. Bitcoins are transferrable to U.S. currency, and since you have to pay taxes on your salary, why wouldn't you have to pay taxes on any other income you received?
You apparently are unaware of the quick chargers. It's still a very long time compared to filling up a gas car, but J1772 chargers are much faster than "8-12 hours to fully charge". You're talking about charging from a regular wall outlet.

The Cranberries is one of my favorite bands (along with The Beatles & Squirrel Nut Zippers)..
But The Killers? (First album 9 years ago.) Fun.? Most well known album less than 1.5 years old.
It's actually more complicated than you quote. See the last paragraph of this section:

Yes, this is just results from a google search.. and admittedly are confusing..
http://www.payscale.com/research/US/People_with_Jobs_as_Physicians_%2F_Doctors/Salary
says GP makes an average of $125,568.
http://www.healthcare-salaries.com/physicians/medical-doctor-salary-md
gives two different salaries in different paragraphs -- $186044, and
At least they're nicely dressed idiots.
No, they sound like the same thing, except in quantity of "extra money" spent.
I realize it's not exactly the same thing, but I remember this showing up in the news a few years ago. Women prefer female voices too:
http://www.cnn.com/2011/10/21/tech/innovation/female-computer-voices
(yes, as the article mentions, in the U.K., Siri has a male voice.. and iOS 7 will have new voices and user choice of the gender of the voice.)
You help the nice lady with her luggage because of evolution. Subconsciously, you think she might "do it" with you, thus (until modern birth control) furthering your DNA.
Helping the old dude helps no one (so to speak).

Then what about Amish?

Any famous Shakespeare play (is that redundant? Some are more well known than others) has it beat by a zillion.
BTW, even though the meme is "drinking the Kool Aid", in the actual incident that inspired the phrase, it was actually Flavor Aid.

Aren't they already getting the 'slow' death penalty by having to breathe the air?
I'll be here all week...

No, I meant I find lots of bugs in what are arguably edge cases (though IMHO not extreme edge cases..)
With so many bugs I find in everyone's software, I think not.

Plus, it's not like the gas hose doesn't reach to the other side of the car.. (Though I have a small car.)

TiVo is more than a "TV guide-type service".

I have no idea why you posted that anonymously. I pretty much agree with it, though I think Trepidity went a bit too far in the other direction.
You apparently are unaware of the quick chargers. It's still a very long time compared to filling up a gas car, but J1772 chargers are much faster than "8-12 hours to fully charge". You're talking about charging from a regular wall outlet.
I don't have a good time estimate, but the old article http://www.howstuffworks.com/rapid-charging-for-electric-car-batteries.htm
says "It can take an electric vehicle from dead to nearly full -- about 80 percent charged -- in under half an hour."
