So, you're the guy that helpfully nudges the guy who doesn't stop at the white line and doesn't activate the pressure plate forward a car length so he's at the white line and activates the pressure plate?
You think that's bad? My girlfriend was never taught how to reverse bay park a car because they never put it on the test. There were no car parks on the test route.
They also never tell you how to correct a skid (pumping the breaks is great if you're going in a straight line), how to drive in icy conditions (if you learn in summer), or motorway (highway) driving.
Yeah, you read that right. They don't teach you how to drive on the fastest roads in the country. They just hope you "scale up" well.
So, at no point did Airbus, or any of the manufacturers they purchase from, buy any transistors, resistors, chips, wires, or relays from a small Chinese firm which usually specialises in wristwatches and calculator parts?

The kill switch is for after you've crashed. When a tit in a BMW pulls out in front of you, there is only one action in your mind: Jump. Good luck hitting that button if you high-side, too.
My bike stalled once it was at 90 degrees anyway as it was fuel starved. If I could, I'd make tethered kill switches mandatory on motorcycles.
As a former student, I'd like teachers to teach more of their subject material instead of running puerile social experiments. I'm sure it's an absolute hoot watching the dim kids waving their arms around and clucking like a chicken, but they might not be so dim if teachers actually taught instead of handing out worksheets and sitting at the front of the class performing an exemplary impersonation of a person in PVS.
Of course, I only have my own experiences to go by, but when one of your closest friends has been told that he's one of the two kids per class "allowed to fail" by the Performance-based-Pay system implemented by the borough (85% C+ grades, get a bonus), you tend to get on your high horse a little. So yeah, I bit her face off about running a bullshit practical joke intended to teach the importance of reading question papers thoroughly (something we all learned when we got our mock exam papers back) instead of using the time to assist those who were behind with their learning.
Sorry to chew out at you, but I've had my fair share of run-ins with teachers who gave me "holier than thou" at school. It's ironic that I now work for the education system, though as tech support.
In the sue-happy nation of the United Kingdom, a phone call is all you'd get from me despite quite advanced first-aid training.
"Although there have been a few cases in the United Kingdom where a claim has been brought against a “rescuer”, there have been no reported cases at all where a casualty has successfully sued someone who came to his aid in an emergency. A claim might therefore, in theory, be brought against a rescuer either in the law of trespass on the grounds that his intervention constituted an assault on the casualty, and / or in the law of negligence for a breach of his duty of care towards the casualty. Potentially there could also be liability for assault in criminal law, but this document will concentrate purely on principles of civil liability and claims for compensation. A claim could be brought either by the casualty or, should they die, by their estate, and if the actions of the rescuer led to serious personal injury or death, a very large payment of damages by way of compensation could in theory be ordered by the court."
I can't risk life-ruining debt because some yahoo decides to make a quick buck suing decent people. Note that there haven't been any successful cases. The implication is people have tried, and I can't afford the defence costs. It's a terrible, terrible state of affairs, but I'm afraid that it's the only way to keep afloat.
Right, so you read the questions through while following no instructions. That means you do not follow instruction 5, start the test from the beginning, and perform tasks 2 to 4, as you have not performed the action of instruction 5. Acting upon instruction 5 negates instruction 1, as you are no longer reading but have started acting upon the instructions.
I had this argument with my science teacher. She firstly took me out of the science lesson for being disruptive (I was quite adamant I was right) so I walked down to the Head of Science and explained the situation. He made the teacher apologise to me.
Unfortunately, this course of action did not get me any tail.
I happen to know that there are simple software/hardware hacks/backdoors on 98% of braaaaaiiiiiinnnnss in existence. All of these are built in by ALIENS! at our behest - 'our' being Xenu, Cthulhu, His Holy Noodliness, and Chuck Norris.
Don't trust any technology or hardware that you don't have complete and unhindered access to. I'm telling you now, I've seen records pulled up on people for things that the above mentioned deities should never have had access to - things regular plebs wouldn't have believed possible to monitor. Yes, they can watch you pee when you have your phone in your pocket! Those fellows will get records down to every time you've gone to the toilet - its that scary (Hmmm.. He seemed he pre-empted that particular joke.)
An anonymous post full of conspiracy-theory style rambling with no evidence, citation, not even an example of the tech used (in a very basic form) and it's been modded up. Want to know how they know when you've gone to the toilet? Your Smart Meter records you've used exactly the same amount of water in one go as it takes to fill the cistern.
Mod parent down until he can give me an example of this all-singing, all-dancing hack for 98% of phones in existence which exists on my device and not some kit installed at the switch.
No, just write at the bottom of each page "(c) Author. All fictional, non-real characters depicted in this scene are over the legal age of consent to appear in a sexual scene depiction reproduced on film, or in digital form, in $country."
The drive wouldn't be mounted R/W In fact, i'm pretty sure that almost all forensic examinations of computer storage is done on a block-by-block copy of the drive, and the original only ever mounted via a read-only interface.

Thanks!
All they need is to do another of those "kinetic impact" experiments with a corpse on the end.
Seempulz!
Yeah, they're learned good. You can tell by the marks they get in the tests what they do. Only them ones what are teached proper, though.
Slip your belt over its jaws. The muscles are very powerful when closing, but poorly developed when opening.

Per: for each; for every
Cent: variation of "centi"
Centi: a combining form meaning “hundredth” or “hundred”
For each one hundred, there are so many. How is this not correct?
I know, I know. You wish there was a +1 Pedant moderation.
I think you mean unpassable.

Sorry, I didn't read your post properly and my reply is not appropriate.
I've bump-started my bike while in motion when I've hit the kill switch by accident. No doubt you could do the same in any car.
Ever come off a motorcycle?

oh yeah, you were a fucking genius in school.
Looking at my grades, you wouldn't think it.
Or, both.
UK has 1% of world's population, 20% of its CCTV cameras
General public to view CCTV, report crimes

By posting on this thread, he got to download new comments faster. Didn't you know that's how it worked?
You think a guy with marketing dollar as an incentive is going to leave a comment like that on his product info page?
They guy is a shill.
You've repressed the memory because it was too painful to re-live.
Here, let me share the pain

That should do it!
Is it me, or does that situation seem totally the wrong way around?
Evidence of sitting at home looking at pictures from the internet: 1 year backlog
Evidence of actual sexual attack: 10 year backlog.
I know it's different jurisdictions (hell, different countries) but there's something seriously wrong with that latter figure, in any case.
