Yes but that was before the town fathers took their anti-USA (Homeland Security) stance.
Your intuition meter might need to be serviced. This is not an "anti-USA" stance, it is a gimmick crafted solely to put a few more pennies in the town's coffers. Nothing more. They can wrap it all up in a story that is on many people's minds right now, but that's what gimmicks do.
Do you think those guys at the flea market selling knock off apparel are there because they are genuinely into high fashion?
...because guess where all the water for their crops comes from?
I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. The water in Colorado is a state owned resource, so if this were to happen, water would come in exactly the same as it did before, through irrigation ditches fed off the Big Thompson water project (and others).
Of course, that's only if you own the water rights, and if some nut jobs up in Weld county had the sense to come up with this idea, I'm pretty sure they had the sense to realize that they would need to secure water as well.
And hey, if they are well funded and looking for some water, my family has multiple properties less than a mile from the county line (with water rights) that would be up for sale... for the right price of course.
It was actually on the news the other night and they interviewed I believe the mayor, the guy drafting the bill, and some other sheriff or somebody. They clearly stated "this is a symbolic gesture only". Everything about this bill says so. You're only allowed to use a shotgun firing pellets (lot of good that will do with the drone at altitude), and the bounties paid out are nowhere near a practical amount of money for the effort put in.
Besides all that, they even said that they have never even seen a drone over the town.
...and anybody who doesn't get the reference should be drummed off the site.
But then what would the two of you talk about, and who would be there to moderate?
Listen, I get it, too many kids on the lawn and such. Personally, I've exchanged the not-quite-timeless phrase "get off my lawn" with the more apropo "no skateboarding".
Though I do appreciate that I've now looked up Mycroft Holmes and was surprised to find it wasn't the agoraphobic brother of the late, great (and I do mean great) John Holmes.
Its quite clear Adams & Madison intended for "freedom of the press' to mean much more than the act of pressing ink into paper.
It does. Freedom of the Press also refers to "publication and distribution of information". The medium used is not relevant.
The difference with this case is that it can very easily fail the bad tendency test, and while this is Canada and not the US, I would assume that similar exceptions are made in nearly every modern democracy.
Does anyone remember the "Faces of Death" series? Granted, I have not visited this site, nor do I care to, but when I was a young teenager, I do recall having some interest in the gory footage provided in FOD.
Did I derive any value from watching that smut? I'd say that it is quite negligible, but there was in fact some value gained. Similarly, dreams of terrifying situations provide some value to the dreamer simply for the fact that it may prepare them for a terrifying situation in real life some time in the future.
I don't think that "cause I want to" is valid at all here. But to say that this kind of material holds absolutely zero value seems at least a little disingenuous. I'm sure there are a number of psychology students that would find this kind of material to hold at least some value. Likewise, other related professions that unfortunately have to deal with things like this may find some value.
I freely admit, however, that any legitimate use for such material is incredibly limited. There may be a handful of viewers that have a valid use for it, but the vast majority do not. I understand that my statements are as far as this argument can realistically be stretched, which I suppose is my way of agreeing with your statement... almost entirely.
quick! point to the document showing that a select tag has a value attribute!
I'm not sure what you're looking for here. Are you saying that having a value attribute on a select element is something that is simply undocumented but valid?
Or, are you saying that this is a deprecated attribute still found in the wild and there is no doc to explain this?
Certainly invalid attributes are going to add some overhead to the DOM, but I don't think that's necessarily the reason a sluggish UI can be blamed on the DOM. I would imagine that a simple DOM with ten elements, each element with ten attributes would still be faster than a DOM with 100 elements, each with one attribute. Of course, this largely depends on what you're going to be doing with the elements and the attributes, but in the case of simple UI updates to the DOM, the elements are going to change more often than all of the attributes. You might update a couple attributes here and there, but the rest of the attributes are probably left as they were since they are likely unrelated to whatever UI update you are performing.
I've lived in Capitol Hill for about eight years now. It should go without saying that I have had plenty of parking tickets (though, a good amount of those weren't actually parking tickets, I just happened to be parked at the time).
For every ticket that was questionable, I went down to the city building, waited a short amount of time to have my story heard, and the tickets were nullified.
It really couldn't be any easier.
Also, I actually like a number of the red light cameras. Drivers are actually starting to understand that running red lights/stale yellows is dangerous, and they are not doing it as often. I don't know how many times I've tried to cross 6th avenue from alley to alley (because of one-ways) and nearly been hit by someone running a red light because you can't see them due to a large parked vehicle blocking the view.
This all seems entirely reasonable until you consider an artificial fracture that suddenly bears load on an otherwise innocuous chunk of rock.
I think an apt comparison would be felling a large tree. If you just cut near the base, the tree will fall and potentially load adjacent trees. If instead you make several cuts, each section will now cause load on adjacent trees, but the sections will also cause load on each other.
To put it simply, smart phones are now capable of so much more than being simply a phone that their usefulness as a phone has been greatly diminished in the form of terrible battery life compared to what we used to have.
New phones that are simply phones would be nice to see. It doesn't need to have a bunch of power hungry radios in it. Just a phone. With great battery life, quality phone-based features, and that's it. Leave the rest of it for tablets and other doodads.
When I was about 12, I took a knife and shaved off the corners of a molex connector and attached it an old hard disk that had tons of bad sectors. I just wanted to see what would happen.
While interesting to a 12 year old, it was nothing more than a couple pops, some smoke, and a little bit of melted plastic. It was at this very moment that I learned everything I ever needed to know about computers.
Even with just a 3 meter rise, that puts Stockton, CA on a new inland coast. Considering the real estate there is terribly distressed, it might make a good investment.
The US will still have plenty of developer jobs, though, it may get retitled to reflect the fact that the work done in India is development. The work done in the US is simply refactoring, adding legible comments, fixing poorly named variables, etc.
The last few months of my previous job were basically nothing more than fixing bugs introduced by the Indian team. Good training I suppose, but not my cup of tea.
That's because the software they help write has already been branded by a start up in LA or New York.
The stuff you do see them building is plugins and modules for various platforms where they can take the idea of another developer, add a new logo and what not, and repackage it for sale as their code.
I have worked with many different "One Step Checkout" for the Magento platform that were developed in India. They are all basically copies of each other, with only one version (developed I believe in Ukraine) standing out as being solidly developed and easy to work with.
I think you've entirely missed the point. The problem is not about using the loud pipes to save your life. Of course that can happen.
The point is about when you're just pulling up to a stop light. The guy next to you is in a normal sized car (ie. something that isn't 12 feet tall) and the pipes go off right in their ear as you pull away when it turns green. There is absolutely no need for that. If I take down your license plate and press charges or sue so that my audiologist gets paid, is that okay with you?
I'm not sure how many nines you'd need to describe how often loud pipes are simply a societal nuisance, but I'm guessing it's at least four. One time in ten-thousand, those loud pipes will save someone's life, such as yours. The rest of the time... well, you know the rest.
Here in the US, it's the manufacturer's fault for not making the car crash-survivable.
But what about all those idiots making claims that "Loud pipes saves lives"? You know, those same guys that don't wear helmets?
They chose to ride an inherently dangerous machine. So dangerous, in fact, that they will make claims that the only thing saving them from an untimely end are exhaust pipes so loud they will blow out the eardrum of an adjacent motorist. Helmets? Nah! It's our freedom to ride without them! Safety? Nah! That's your fucking problem if my bike gives you permanent hearing damage.
Of course, they won't prevent me from getting hit, but they sure do help. Cars, pedestrians, other cyclists... they all stop when I go by simply because they are looking at my lights because they look pretty fucking cool.

Go find Carter's interview with Jon Stewart. If you still don't like him after watching that, you should seek help.

That much is obvious, but you stated:
As of Windows 7, Microsoft no longer uses the "flag" as a mark to identify Windows.
I guess what you meant to say was, "Since Windows 7, Microsoft no longer uses the flag as the a mark to identify Windows."
I would suggest he is primarily insane because he has been a serial stalker.

Martin was more than just someone that got involved in a fist fight. He was seriously trying to inflict damage and pain on Zimmerman.
You've never been in a fight, have you? What kind of fist fight does NOT involve drying to inflict damage and pain?

It doesn't seem clear if that figure is for all of China or just mainland China.
Some numbers from Taiwan suggest that 2012 saw over 7 million tourist visits. Hong Kong in 2010, some 36 million.
And math is HARD.
English, on the other hand, is merely difficult.
