No, these were the best legislators we could get that weren't making more money in the private sector.
The *best* lawyers are still private and laugh at how horrible our elected ones are. They then skewer them in court and hug there money on the way home.
Or in slashdot:
1. Be awesome in the private sector.
2. Don't run for office.(Replace this with ????? for old school fans)
3. Profit!!
CAN Protocol(the de-facto automotive protocol) contains error checking. So if a node in the system sends out 00000001 but the "sun spot" turns it to 01000001, it finds that error. So unless it changes that to a 01000001, while also changing the parity bit(or whatever they use for error checking) to 0 as well(as compared to 1), WHILE ALSO somehow disabling the entire safety section of code that reduces the throttle input when brakes are applied... then I seriously doubt it.
Everyone involved in this knows the above facts, what they have to do is prove the above facts. The reason they called in NASA is because they lack the right type of experts, NASA does not. Case closed.
Or people with balls. When I was in high schools(5 years ago, i'm 23) there was a fight in the exit area of a building and within 15 seconds the football coach was there and slugged the football player who hit the much smaller freshman. What did he get? Nothing. Nothing at all. Why? Because the cameras clearly showed a *CRIME* being committed and a BYSTANDER stepping in to stop it.
So go tell your teacher friend to go fuck herself, she is just as responsible as every other jerk who walks by someone in trouble and doesn't do crap. Job, no job, she is a bad bad person. Its a frigen CHILD beating hit by another child. Who the hell lets that happen?
API. Application programming *INTERFACE*. It talks to the iPhone and asks where the cursor is. The iPhone then returns it some data that matches the format. That data can be *ANYTHING*. It could be your accelerometer data somehow converted, last place you touched on the screen, the weather in Russia, anything. Its just data, not mythical creatures that only work in one way.
Its a university.. where you *TURN IN* papers. Yes, you can email them, but professors think they are gods of there classrooms and can demand paper copies.
If futurama taught me anything.. its that this effectively solves global warming. All we need now is to hire planet express to go the moon, cut some ice out, and drop it in the ocean. Done and done.
Phones break from physical impact(shattering LCD and stuff), or from short circuits.. or from component failure(caps blowing, overheating, etc). TECHNICALLY you can drop a running circuit into *PURE* water and nothing happens. Water isn't very conductive. FYI
No, not really. Only a fool would install ONE sensor in such a highly critical enviroment. Example: If the pedal is at 100% throttle(as its drive by wire i believe), and someone taps the break.. that should reset the software. Or initiate a limp mode or something.
I highly doubt this guy is a developer. If he was he would understand how fixing a peice of already running software goes... especially with a known bug. Almost all patches are done in short development cycle because its an easy fix once you find what caused it.
To illustrate my point, take a made up piece of code that takes the position of 1 sensor, and uses that to control a servo. Lets say that for whatever reason a peice of the code looks like: ServoPosition =(sensor1 + offset) * ServoOffset
Offset is used to correct for initial installation differences for the sensor, so the sensor can detect where it normally sits at idle(when not pressed) so that it can calculate its real position and not its perceived one. NOW! Lets go one step further and say the offset is suppose to be a static variable the entire time the loop is running.. but what if, WHAT IF, the code doesn't lock the offset variable, and for whatever reason the chip is restarting its program over and over again, increasing the size of the offset variable. Eventually, this could cause the sensors to detect the pedal being floored, when its not. So how do you fix that? Remove the offset variable from the part that could be ran over and over again. Be sure to always set it to 0 when you restart the loop.
And then you wonder if its safe? Really they changed less then 1% of there code you fake developer.
We just have a development environment for them. Then once code is ready we copy the most recent backup image of the servers over, they install there, document how, and then our sys admins install. Done and done.
Cancer is basically when your cells are broken and are spawning hellish death cells to kill you. These cells 'break' when they mutate. Errors in the DNA has long been assumed as the cause of the cells turning to cancer, so if they found 30k errors in the DNA of melanoma VS standard issue skin cells.. and that one of those 30k errors may be causing cancer.
Yes, it is like finding 30k haystacks... however its better then the infinite # of haystacks we had before.
Look, this is IT. If you are great at the technical stuff you will become irreplaceable as you develop unique one off solutions to problems. If you are just good at the technical stuff but having an amazing work ethic you will become a project lead and that is the 1st step into management. Its just how the tree branches out. The money is in management, you just need to understand thats how it works. If you want more money, you work in management.
Eventually all things become a "job", so take the most cash you can get and rest peacefully at night knowing you will only be woken up 20 times a year at 3am instead of 100.
Shouldn't this be a decision that consumers make? I buy a certain TYPE of set that enables this and I can see there dumb ass content a week earlier.. if not, then we get normal release times.
This is like the 300th time I've posted this.. STOP MAKING UP NEW INTERFACES. Mouse and keyboard? 30 some odd years now.. mouse and keyboard. Its not that confusing.
ACTUALLY, he said that the king should be a philosopher first. If that can't work, the king must actualize his beliefs and existence into that of a philosophers. That all being said, it does not apply to a presidential system. Plato was trying to drive home the fact that if you allow one person, who truly cares about everyones well being, total absolute control.. then peace and prosperity can happen.
That is why they need to be a philo-king, because then they could understand all sciences(Philosophy is the father of all science). As such, he could make the correct economic decisions, militaristic decisions, diplomatic.. etc etc, and would not have to meet some middle ground of a congress.

Wow, I don't often to get to use the same post twice.. but uh, they passed a law making genetic discrimination illegal in America.
Its like new artists will have to be creative and create new musical styles. IE, nothing changes.

They should just flip the availability numbers over and get rid of the decimal. "Sir, its not 66.. its 99! You have it upside down!" -- Fixed.
