They are still taking the money. Just not sharing it with local law enforcement.
So local law enforcement agencies will now have big holes in their budgets.
So anyone want to guess how they will fill these holes? Raise local taxes . . . ? Raise the fines for traffic tickets, and hand out more tickets . . . ?
At any rate, they are not going to get by with less money.
If you need more than three different cycles, you're doing it wrong.
Actually, there a few things that you can wrong, like overloading it . . . or having something hanging down that blocks the sprayer arms from rotating . . . or loading that certain things don't get sprayed.
But in this case, I think the problem is obvious:
just replaced my dishwasher with a basic, inexpensive Sears model
It's a cheap model from Sears.
You can increase the performance of your Porsche a bit, by hacking the firmware. But you can't hack the firmware, and turn your Fiat into a Porsche . . . the hardware just isn't there.
As Lenovo bludgeoned ThinkPads and HP's moves eviscerated entire product lines, Fujitsu's spin-off will also reflect a lower quality product over time.
You know, I've a lot of comments about Lenovo SchtinkPads having bad quality, but it doesn't match my experience at all. I have a W520. It is big, black, ugly and bulky, and no thief would consider trying to steal it, because it is not shiny and silver, like an Apple. But that is fine with me. I pimped it up to 32GB main memory, and two 512GB SSDs. If the thieves knew what all is in it, they would steal it just to cannibalize the components.
The thing seems to be indestructible. I do a lot of traveling on trains in Europe, and the SchtinkPad inadvertently gets banged up a bit here and there. No problem. It always boots up like a charm. My girlfriend has some kind of MacBook, and I have the feeling that if she sneezes on it, it will be offline for a week.
So, I'm guessing from that statement, that you have the intention of connecting your butt to the Internet of Things. Who knows, it might be a big hit, and your butt will be the next Facebook . . . ?
do you really think our current political class would give up their power?
Bingo! 100 points and a new refrigerator for the contestant!
It's common for folks in the US to complain that they don't trust their politicians. Well, the feeling is mutual . . . US politicians don't trust their citizens as far as they can throw them. Switzerland does a great job with this, by punting out some important political decisions as referendums. That is something I would like to see in more countries.
On the other hand, if Germany had something like this, those one million refugees, from God only knows where, would be on their way back home.
Politicians often need to make unsavory deals with opponents: "If you vote to continue to fund the government, I will pass a Bill for tax breaks for bow and arrow manufacturers in Oregon." This is the only reason that I could fathom of having Trump in the White House. He might be able to quell this practice.
But on the other hand, being a businessman . . . he's probably been wheeling and dealing all his life.
But you'd have to eat a LOT of them if that's all you ate.
There was an old Cold War joke:
The Russian general tells the American general, "My troops are well fed! They get 2000 calories per day!"
The American general counters, "My troops get 4000 calories per day!"
The Russian general answers, "Nonsense! Nobody can eat that number of potatoes!
This joke was resurrected in the late 90's, when the general folks were talking about how much USB stick storage their soldiers had.
The Russian general answered, "What!? Your soldiers have that much storage on their USB sticks!? Nonsense, then all your soldiers would be blind from masturbating"!
I find it condescending and somewhat cruel the focus the politicians are putting on coding and programming.
Politicians don't understand what programming is. They think it is a simple skill like reading and writing. Everybody can learn to read an write. Not everyone can learn how to program. But the politicians would like to say that they are doing something about the lack of STEM skills in the US.
Before I started with BASIC and FORTRAN IV ten thousand years ago . . . do you want to know how I learned programming?
Playing logic games with my father, in the car on long trips . . . like "Twenty Questions" . . . that's what taught me how to program.
We don't eat mushrooms for the calories. We eat them to trip our balls off.
If you eat the right mushrooms, you won't give a damn about the caloric value. You will be more concerned that your yelping dog has the head of Hilary Clinton.
Hey guys, I learned how to dress a wound with my triangular bandage, I've obviously learned medicine.
I have a Black & Decker drill and a can of spackle.
I guess that makes me a dentist.
A long time ago, I was "given" a CS student to manage. I quickly noticed that he hated programming, so I asked him why he was studying CS. He answered: "Because of the money."
I really hate it, when politicians pop up, write a "Hello World!" one liner, and then claim that they can code. They don't understand what programming is all about, and want to dismiss it as a simple skill that anyone (H1Bs) can do. Just because you can speak a few words of English as a foreign language, that doesn't mean that you can write works of Shakespearean quality.
That, is what politicians don't get about programming. They don't understand it, so they want to dismiss it as something trivial.
The big victory here, was that the Germans swallowed it hook, line and sinker. The Germans considered Patton to be the most formidable General that the Allies had. Unfortunately for Patton, he was on the shit-list, because he slapped a patient in a field hospital in Italy, who Patton mistakenly claimed was just suffering from cowardice.
The German spooks heard of this, but discarded it quickly. Why would an Army sideline a brilliant General, just because he slapped a simple enlisted man? At any rate the "Patton Threat" really played a crucial role in all this, and helped the Normandy landings to be a success.
Personal Note: I met an old German soldier a long time back, and we discussed the Normandy landings. He said, "We were waiting the whole time for Patton to land in Calais."
I actually looked, but not fully read TFA. It states in the first couple of paragraphs, that only parental permission is required for underage kids to use Internet services.
So this is like a:
"Mom, can I use Facebook . . . Dad said it is OK!"
So why didn't totally bar arbitration altogether in its service agreement? In small print, "You cannot sue us, anytime, anywhere over anything. Period. No exceptions. Don't even dream of trying to contact a lawyer."
The solar farm would not have increased tax revenues or added value to the town. It would not likely employ any of the town's residents.
This explains it all right there. The town residents want a "taste" of the solar farm. This is similar to the "Hawaiian Shakedown" over that new telescope.
The town in NC has a teeny-tiny population. I could imagine that the solar company picked this place, because there would be less people to buy off.
Except the town folks are not doing it right. All their wacky pseudo-scientific claim can easily be refuted in court. They need to spin some ridiculous religious yarn. Like the solar farm location is the secret ancient graveyard of the survivors of the Lost Roanoke Colony. You can't refute religious beliefs in court.
However, it is amazing how quickly folks can forget their religious beliefs, when they are offered enough money.
Actually, pigeons are a far greater nuisance, and a threat to our American way of life. All because of the actions of Asteroids! I called up Foreskin Humps' campaign office, but they could neither deny nor confirm any plans to ban Asteroids from entering Earth outer space . . . space.
No, we stopped going there, because NASA decided that the Moon was quite an immoral place, as documented in "Nude on the Moon": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
When those folks on the Moon put on some proper clothing, fit for US television prime time, we'll go back.
Slashdot Mirror
Larry Ellison owns a whole Hawaiian island, just for himself. Maybe he could house these poor folks there?
He could give them jobs, working in the sugar cane and pineapple fields.
A win-win solution for everyone, for sure.
They have no students. They operate no schools.
And worst of all, they have no clue what CS is. They think CS is writing a document in Word, creating an Excel spreadsheet and googling.
Hey, English teachers can do that, so English teachers can teach CS!
I'm just wondering where the folks at the DoE got their educations . . . ?
"You have found A Spiritual Equivalent of a Surface Phone."
# wield phone
"You are now wielding A Spiritual Equivalent of a Surface Phone."
# turn on phone
"Nothing happens. The battery appears to be dead."
# drop phone
"You can't. The Spiritual Equivalent of a Surface Phone appears to be cursed."

Oh, well.
We have to have world class mathematicians working on it and they're not getting anywhere.
But they are making progress! Every couple of weeks, someone adds a couple of new dimensions, to improve the model.
I think we should just cut to the chase scene, and decide that we are living in an Abstract Hilbert Space of infinite dimensions, and be down with it.
Am I the only one who's dying to know what the author's father is doing with those hundreds of blank cassettes every year?
Oh, that's easy to answer . . . porn!

This is a tempest in a teapot.
In Soviet Russia, government needs a way to work around Carly Fiona!
(Sorry, I can't kick Trump joke habit. Therapy failed.)
Skip the therapy. Continue with the jokes.
Tip the veal. Try the waitress.
For me the best part of a Presidential Election are the jokes.
A lot of time, the candidates write their own jokes . . . unintentionally. That's God's gift to the late night talk show hosts.
So why didn't totally bar arbitration altogether in its service agreement? In small print, "You cannot sue us, anytime, anywhere over anything. Period. No exceptions. Don't even dream of trying to contact a lawyer."
Philips: Fuck you!
Tony "Scarface" Montana: No . . . FUCK HUE!
I guess you needed to have seen the movie to get that joke . . .

. . . and starring Hilary Clinton . . . as "The Beaver" . . .
Although, I don't think anyone here is old enough to get that joke . . .
"Gee, Wally, we're about to start WWIII . . . should we ask Eddie Haskell what to do . . . ?"
Donald Trump would be "Dr. Smith" from the original "Lost in Space" TV series.
