"The U.S. National Highway Transportation Department said the rules will cost the auto industry about $39 million annually because automakers will need to add an external waterproof speaker to comply."
A $3 speaker and $1 of wiring per car will add up to $39 million? Too bad. Raise the cost of the car by $5 and stop whining.
No one puts off buying a car because it costs $32,535 instead of $32,530.
If you assume they manufacture ~500k new hybrids per year, then their quote works out to $78 per hybrid. To me, I wouldn't be put off buying a car if it was $32,608 instead of $32,530.
As for the speaker, if it's in the engine compartment it's probably rated for temperatures from -40 through 150F, if not more. Plus it's likely going to be exposed to a LOT of dirt/dust/water, while still needing to be heard. It also needs to probably make some non-trivial sound that is based on speed and shuts on/off appropriately. Maybe not $78, but definitely a lot more than $3 in my opinion.
I was thinking the same thing, "can a government be liable crimes committed by usage of public roadways?" Though I wonder if the analogy has any key differences?
This. My company gave up on Windows after we almost went out of business because of a data leak due to a.NET bug. Anyone still using doesn't care about security.
My theory has been that he'll retract his support last minute for some other candidate, get a lovely paycheck from them directly or indirectly, then go back to his other antics. After all, it probably pays better to be in the president's pocket than to be the president.
I've been running internet-connected Windows desktop for 20 years, and have never gotten a virus. Surf smart, lock your door, and don't click on the damn.scr files.
When you say lock your door, I'm presuming you mean behind a firewall or router?
The only time I've been infected was during a Win98 install. I ended up connecting it directly to the internet instead of using my router (I don't recall why; that was a long time ago.) After my first set of updates had applied (ie: rebooted from), I discovered that it was already infected. The most interesting part was it was compromised in under 25 minutes.
Since then, a router has been my best and first line of defense. After that, the rest of stuff is avoiding most of the social engineering that's trying to get you to click them.
I wonder what actually is accessible via operator mode. Changing text and the fees is one thing, but can it actually give the 'operator' any money by either changing the account where fees are deposited and/or by directly 'withdrawing' the money on the spot (without a bank account).
I know I RTFA, but I haven't had my coffee yet. I had thought they guessed URLs within the site to see if there was something new but they just clicked on a link.
On that I change my tune a bit as I think of regular pings as normal knocks on the door. Answer and expect to get a visit from a salesman. Just because I only gave out my domain name to my 10 close friends doesn't mean that I don't expect others. However, I start for my phone/baseball bat when someone tries to get in after they've been denied regular access.
I was thinking along these lines. I remember coming across the following in my linux apache logs and definitely thought of it an attack probe: "GET/c/winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" Surely this can also be done via just an URL but that doesn't make it right.
Just because you leave your door open doesn't make someone going through it not trespassing, lock or not. Checking all of the windows and doors to see if there's a way in also doesn't really help with the "I wasn't trespassing" argument, either.
I do admit it should have been locked down, though. At least IP filter access to the site if you're still in testing.
Okay, you got me curious.. are you working 7 days a week at 12+ hours each day? Or is it a lot fewer hours just over the entire week?
If so, do you have a happily married wife and kid(s)? I know a few people that would be fine with working solid 10+ hour days a week all week but they have no life nor significant others.
I'm not trying to argue that it's wrong but I am curious how you would do it. I've done 55+ hour work weeks for months in a row and it was starting to take its toll on my family.
I agree. For me, the shower is one of the best places and usually the most consistently productive. I think you nailed it on the head with your mind not having to get hung up on solving it so the pressure is dropped.
*wishes he, or someone reading this, could mod you up*
Or, if not the midwife, why not 911? That was the first thing that came to my mind once I read that it was on a friggin blackberry.
I'm not sure which bothers me more: the fact that he didn't CALL a medical professional OR that he (and a lot of others here) seemingly think there is nothing wrong with googling for medical directions for something this critical? I can just see the next incident now: "oh, no, I fell into a ravine and broke both legs. Good thing I have my cell phone, I can google how to make up some splints to get out of here."
Maybe then again there are websites that are fully sanctioned sites that give proper, legally approved medical advice (ie: the types that aren't likely to get sued into oblivion if something went wrong)? That or the blackberry has WiFi / data but no voice plan?
Actually, it looks fine after some initial glances. They put up a video on youtube here where the interior is liquid filled for direct contact with all of the components, then a secondary liquid system (it seems) outside uses the plating case as a heat exchanger and takes it away to the central lines out of the cooling system.
as a friend was told at Future Shop that she should get a router instead of a switch because you would manually have to switch between which computer you want to talk to your cable modem.
So why does the OP say that this is DX10's fault and that DX9 is better? Wouldn't it be better to say that his processor is too slow instead of blaming DX?
Actually, it is quite possible that dargaud saw frequency modulation. It is possible to over-power an LED but to pulse it such that the overall average is within the power limit. This is more of a guess on my part as I haven't played with overpowering LEDs much, but I would guess that the manufacturer had to power the LED so high (to get bright enough) that the frequency rate came within dargaud's visible range in order not to have the average power beyond the limit. I also wouldn't hold it to the maker to presume that anything above 60Hz is fine.
Odd about the dimming the light that way; IIRC the LEDs I've used can be extremely dim with low enough voltages without having to flicker it on/off.
Is it just me, or am I the only one who thought the overlayed images would have matched much better in terms of the curvature?
After looking closely at the edges and how the edges of each of the apples curve, particularly noticeable near the "bite mark" where Apple's bite curves in "substantially" more than NYC's version.
In BC (Canada) we require photo ID for most things (Driver's license or ID that's near identical) and a SIN number to work. Too bad they can't just use one card instead of two here. Oh, yes, I also need a medical card. And, occasionally, my certificate of birth for an extra piece of ID.
And people are fighting the idea of a unified ID card!? So, from here I have my personal information and, instead of just 1 universal number, 4 different identification numbers that all of which to do the same purpose but add 4 times the weight to my plastic-infested wallet.
If people are worried that an unauthorized person can get into Juki Net what about the current systems with multiple points of attack? Why not ensure the one door is secure instead of having multiple entrances to secure?
Oh, maybe that's the secret: they want to keep all of those government employees that do the exact same but in different "departments" employed.
True, something doesn't seem right about it, and that's probably due to politicians prescribing what is specifically taught.
It's such a hot-topic, and has been for a few years now, that everyone and their dog has opinions on it. It would be nice if people were actually taught the facts behind it rather than being informed by word of mouth. (Telephone game, anyone?) Having schools teach about climate change couldn't be any worse than learning the current propaganda emitted by the general public and media, IMO.
I think it should be taught, but I just wouldn't want anything other than scientists in the field (Masters or better) writing the chapter on it. I know I wouldn't trust my current knowledge on climate change enough to be publicly taught as fact without having true experts check on it.

It was a botched link, for who knows why. The link probably was to point to https://news.fastcompany.com/f...
That said, the actual article (with useful info) is actually here: https://consumerist.com/2016/0...

Now /. needs a "Informative yet Funny" mod, if not at least for the above comment.
Next thing they'll be banning IE, Firefox, et al, for making one-click hacking software. Retarded* politicians.
