Same idea but, this is my pet peeve with the license plates in Connecticut.
They're designed to be human readable and have special codes for everything.
School Buses have a custom plate with a picture of a school bus, Interstate Taxis are prefixed and suffixed with "Z", In-state Taxis are prefixed and suffixed with "T", Trucks have a special plate, Combination passenger/work trucks have another plate. Passenger cars have three styles, XXX{Space}XXX, XXXXXX and a new one XX-XXXX. Municipal cars have a number and a seemingly arbitrary suffix denoting the town (GW for Greenwich, NW for Norwalk, BPT for Bridgeport, WTD Wethersfield- http://ctplates.info/municipal...).
There sure as shit should be a fully automated and publicly available diff system for all legislation, Federal and State. Ideally in a normalized format, but that's probably a pipe dream
Connecticut does a somewhat job when they publish the HTML text of the bills, but this is only after they are signed and become park of the statutes
As an example https://www.cga.ct.gov/current...:
All the Public Acts that were proposed and then signed into law amending this statute are in the tan color, some background history and the changes made are in purple, citations in case law and other statutes are in red.
It's better than nothing but it's not hyperlinked or graphed or anything fancy to actually understand how each thing relates to the rest.
I like it but, I could see this getting very messy when you have a blowout due to the already abysmal conditions existing on the roadways. Do I have to pay another round of taxes on the replacement tire even though it didn't make it to EOL? Is the State partly responsible because I paid tax on the tires with the expectation that they would spend the money on improving the roadways?
If no, do I have to get a signed affidavit from my tire place that this is a certified blowout replacement? How long until unscrupulous tire shops start helping customers evade the taxes then? How much is enforcement going to cost at that point?
If the avoidance and enforcement end up costing more than the road maintenance then you end up back in the same situation again
Part of the reason that Public Transit is so good on Google Maps is that Google developed, pushed and helped municipalities adopt the standards (GTFS) they came up with to represent transit data: https://developers.google.com/...
But what about the workstations that access those secure networks? The internal workstation may be sitting right next to an internet connected workstation.
Second this, the only place to return CFLs for us is the Home Depot. The municipal transfer station doesn't accept hazardous waste, which they consider CFLs. They do a free county-wide recycling day ONCE A YEAR that you have to drive to in another town, but even still they don't accept CFLs.
Target offered a free year of credit monitoring after last year's breach and now this. As long as one major retailer makes the same mistake every year we'll all have free credit monitoring for life!
Depends on the state. If you're traveling with a weapon through Massachusetts and that weapon is stolen from you and then used to commit a murder- you will end up standing trial for murder with the thief who stole your weapon.
It's my hope that we can get past all of that as well. GEICO, Cigna and Liberty Mutual have apps for your insurance cards already. I'm hoping that one day the various DMVs can move to an electronic ID card as well. It works for Estonia doesn't it?
I was attempting to compile a Haar Cascade for license plates- roughly following this: http://note.sonots.com/SciSoft...
It took weeks to get to stage 13 before I shut it down. I'll have to take another look at it and prune my sample data one of these days.
I would check the local coverage maps before you make that decision. I have T-Mobile and their coverage is still awful outside of the big cities.
They are by far the cheapest big name provider. I have a $30 unlimited data/text + 100 voice minute pre-paid plan. At.10/min after that you could go over by another 150 minutes and still come in cheaper than the next cheapest option, or supplement with Hangouts/Skype/etc. and not go over at all.
None of the other providers comes close to the price, I have a Nexus 4 so I only have GSM to choose from
AT&T's offering is not unlimited, it only includes 2GB of (if you don't add any more with a data package) and that's $60/mo,
A comparable Simple Mobile plan(unlimited, first 4GB at 4G) it's $60
Straight Talk has an "unlimited web access" plan for $45, still more expensive than the $30 with T-Mo.
But again, my phone becomes almost completely unusable anywhere outside of the NYC Metro or inside a big building since the T-Mo frequencies don't penetrate buildings well.
This is true of AIM buddy icons as well. Back in the day I tried my damnedest to insert secret messages into my buddy icon but it kept getting reprocessed every time.
Why don't you update the DRAC firmware? Unless your DRAC's are beyond ancient. Why, just this week I went through the process of getting all our DRAC5 cards up to Firmware 1.60 and DRAC6 cards up to 1.70. Now they all work on any browser and on Linux even- though it does require the sun-java package on Linux, IcedTea/OpenJDK doesn't cut it.
Second this. In principle I'm against vendor lock in and shoddy support for standards, but when half the phones in the office go down because the Dell and "Cisco" Small Business(re-branded Linksys) switches stop recognizing VLAN settings from the D-Link...it starts to make sense why you want to keep the environmental variables to a minimum. Yes, this really happened. Replacing the Cisco and Dell with an old pair of D-Links made everything go back to normal.
Yea, I had to exclude ubuntu as well when I was picking a distro for an AT&T Globalyst 380TPC I was trying to get running, a 486 as well. Free/OpenBSD wouldn't install but NetBSD did, 5.1 the current version even.

I read a similar article in ACM Communications. In order to combat the misreads I believe they were suggesting using base-3 with parity encoding.

USB Type-C should fix this, for the mice and the people.
YES! Watch the blinkenlights.

Yea, but it does sound like a really excellent way to spend millions of dollars on new road signs.
Too true. I've seen more than a few boneheads execute that maneuver.
