Because, once the Y2K bug was fixed, those systems that were already probably working just fine with 20-30 years of minimal maintenance and one huge spurge of Y2K updates will carry on running, most probably. Or people took it as a sign that maybe it's *not* a good idea to be relying on code that nobody on your staff can understand in order to run your business.
See what happens come 2038. That'll be the interesting bit.
The COBOL stuff will still be cruising along in 2038, but just wait until the Y10K bug hits.
Uh, even if it's true that the blast radius is larger than 40 feet (which I don't think it is), if you miss your target by 40 feet using a bomb with a a 40 foot blast radius, your target would be 20 feet outside of the blast radius.
So the obvious solution is to use bombs with a blast radius > 40 feet. Lets say 200 feet to be on the safe side. No need for overkill.
I would like a jet pack for my house, this way I can jet myself along with all of my stuff to whichever fantasy property I feel like being at.
Shore today, mountains tomorrow, the city sometime next week....
I take less time than someone trying to figure out how the hell to swipe their debit card. Your rules could be condensed to "if you're a retard or have a cart, use the regular line."
Same thing occurs at the human operated checkouts. Whenever I am forced to use one I always get stuck behind someone who doesn't realize that they need to pay at the end -- 3-5 more minutes while they locate their debit/credit card/checkbook/cash.
My only problem with the self checkouts is that I am usually ahead of the machine - scan - bag - scan - bag, and sometimes get the item into the bag before the unit is ready for it and get the "unexpected item in bag" warning.
The savings in using the self checkout comes about because I get 5 minutes of my life back while there, and save more time because I bag the items according to where I need to put the stuff when I get back home.
Join the club. I'm fine with flying, but I freak out at steep drops that I'm "connected" to
Same here, but for me it is edges that do it. I am fine at heights, but get me near the edge and I freak..
I can't imagine they would sell many of these planes for general aviation purposes, might be ok for some folks, but I think most people would be a bit apprehensive when flying in these.
I think you're both looking too far for how they correlate. Don't forget that they set a cookie with your account name, to keep you signed in. That means that when you sign in with a different account, the old cookie gets sent first, clearly telling them that you're the same guy.
Not quite, all it says is that first and second accounts used the same computer.
It is likely to be the same person, but does not have to be.
I wonder however if a bad pressure signal could be forged, forcing the car to stop ?
Worse yet - if a steady stream of forged low pressure signals can be sent to a vehicle with automatic tire inflation causing it to overinflate to dangerous blowout levels.
And the 3270 in particular is about as smart as a terminal ever got. The terminal itself did the input field text editing before shipping the whole screen input back to the mainframe. Even though there aren't many actual terminals around you'll still see them emulated on PCs in quite a number of applications.
They were damn near indestructible also. I have been a mainframer since the IBM360 days, and I still think the 3270's were the most comfortable keyboards to type on.
I also like the La Fin Du Monde at 9%, and Maudite at 8%... Both come in a cool bottle with a cork. Not sure if they are available in the US....
Available on a state by state basis. When it comes to alcohol the US is 50+ countries (some states it can be limited on a county by county or even a town by town level).
I am all for state rights, but for some things it makes sense to regulate at a federal level (mostly the fun stuff -- guns, booze, drugs & sex).
OK, to be really picky... fermented grain is the basis for ale. Beer is ale flavoured with hops. Whisky is not flavoured with hops, and is therefore distilled ale, not distilled beer. So we still don't have a name for distilled beer, unless you call it 'hop flavoured whisky'.
I will be a bit pickier --
fermented grain is the basis for beer
ale is beer fermented with a top fermenting yeast, while lager beers are fermented with a yeast that tends to settle to the bottom of the fermenting vessel.
at one time the ale/beer difference was if hops or a gruit mixture was used for flavoring, but over time the usage of the terms has changed a bit.
While as Pliny the Younger said, "Nullum esse librum tam malum ut non aliqua parte prodesset." ("No book is so bad that no part of it is useful.") That is a terribly low bar for classics.
I think that he was referring to the fact that any book could be used as toilet paper. Some books really are that bad.
First issue, is this VOIP-to-the-home, or just VOIP-to-the-switch-box? A logical first step would be to switch over to VOIP just before the last-mile, to allow people to keep their existing phones - which (I think) would kill dial-up and faxes. A later second step would be to move the final transition point to the telephone box at the house.
Most like it would be voip to just before the last mile for existing service areas. New development would probably be voip direct to the home.
home->pots->magic voip switch->network->magic voip switch->pots->other phone
otherwise the infrastructure changes would be massive

Also, they should avoid Ukraine.
and Barbados They would probably really freak over Morocco
They sleep all day. They are up all night. They eat raw meat. On second thought they sound like me. I want one....

Nothing irrational about it. If I fall, I go *splat* at the end.
It is a survival instinct.

any FM radio has to have some sort of antenna to receive the signals WHERE WILL YOU PUT THIS ON AN iPHONE??
Same place it is on phones/mp3 players that already have a built in fm tuner. The headphone cord.
I wonder however if a bad pressure signal could be forged, forcing the car to stop ?
Worse yet - if a steady stream of forged low pressure signals can be sent to a vehicle with automatic tire inflation causing it to overinflate to dangerous blowout levels.
Was this a violation of iPee laws also?

I don't think the idea is to pound these back on a hot summer day.
not something to pound back on a hot summer day after doing yard work, but surely nice to sip on a cold winter afternoon after shoveling snow....

If real life were like a police procedural, the first and most obvious suspect would always be a red herring anyway.
Would that be Occam's dull razor?
Wait wait wait. Just wait a second. Are you saying that Hell is in Trinidad and Tobago? I know of worse places that that.
You must work at the same place I do? Is that you Bob?
Have you seen the number of popups Pr0n pages spawn? Perhaps you mean $10 (YourCurrencyMayVary) per popup!
Lots of things popup while viewing Pr0n pages, but not always on the screen. At $10/popup Viagra is probably cheaper.

If I'm reading this correctly, the vulnerability is in WOFF fonts (what is a WOFF font?)
Works On FireFox ?

Forget ebay & craigslist, try your local freecycle list. There is probably someone willing to give you their old one for free.
