Which is really why I avoid Pandora in the first place. Google Music All Access does a decent job of introducing you to new music. In fact, I'd say they have a harder job sticking in things you like (especially if you have a large library already uploaded) than finding new things; by starting a radio based on a song or album that I enjoy, I might hear another familiar track once or twice in that whole playlist.
Really? Surely your employer will allow you to install the damn thing on your work computer.
Not in places with locked down workstations where the individual doesn't work in IT (and thus have the permissions to change it).
Besides, you're going to put a password manager on the computer that your employer manages? Do you also browse Facebook/Google+ or other sites with logins at work? Now you've just given your employer your passwords. Good job.
Right, but that still wouldn't have prevented the explosion, which occurred after the crash and fire and destroyed the craft. It might have made it harder for the fire to start, but there is always a chance of fire with crashing rockets. And the (grand-)parent's post idea was for saving the craft to study, not just conserving fuel.
Even if they did, the craft was untethered and they'd have no way to safely land it after killing the engine. So you'd wind up with a damaged vehicle, anyways, and there's a good chance that it would have exploded anyways. The craft only caught on fire after it crashed, not during the test firing itself, and the explosion was due to the fire reaching the fuel tanks.
I really don't see how a kill switch would help them save money, and would probably just cost them more for useless expenditures.
Don't you know that Apple products aren't that green anymore? I'd hold off on the burning party for the iOS devices. Burn something renewable instead, like real apples.
Both of those mandates generally result in a reduction in portions and a lack of options, at least in my US grade school experience. Maybe Americans just can't think outside the box, those British lunches that VEG posted look (for the most part) far more nutritious than what I got in school.
Watching the video they linked to makes it clear that there's more going on than just the lack of speech. Instead of relying on tools someone else has made, this family might consider investing in someone's home-grown solution to fit Maya. It pains me to say that Apple pulling an app from their store is going to be the least of Maya's worries in life.
This article might pull at my heartstrings more if there weren't several low-tech solutions available to, yes, even an illiterate 4 year old. Chief among them being sign language, something that would be simple enough for a child of her age to learn and has a built-in infrastructure by being the language of the Deaf, which by rights afforded by ADA and other laws would always have types of access. Why not teach her sign language? Not only would she learn to communicate in a full language of her own, instead of being constrained by somebody's picturized version of English, but she could communicate without the aid of an iPad or any such tech device. What happens when the battery runs out or if there's a disaster and she's out of range of her iPad? How would she communicate?
I know low-tech is the not the first thing that/. readers think of, but for once it might be more appropriate here than the solution already in use.
Imagine if Newton or Leibniz had copyrighted Calculus. Now try to invent something without using that system of math, you've just lost the basis of modern engineering, computer systems, physics and economics. Good luck!
Even Newton himself admitted to using the works of others in his own. It was he who said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." The ancient philosophers had the idea, even the Renaissance artists, what's the problem for modern times?
Let's talk about Shit My Dad Says instead, and see what you think. Or is that just the case of actors over 75 years being void of legitimate artistic merit?
Don't worry, when it looks like Lord of the Rings, Star Trek and the other '60's era classics are coming into public domain, the copyright will be extended again to 'protect' these classic works.
If I overload the operator!= to check whether apples and oranges are both fruits, grow on trees, contain seeds and ripen annually, your boolean statement will fail as you wrote it.
One sapient's trash is another sapient's treasure. Who is anyone to claim that something holds no artistic value, or deem that it 'sucks' and thus should not be available for consumption?
Which isn't a topic that interviewers are forbidden to ask about. Just so long as they ask everyone "Are you a US Citizen?" they're in the clear. Someone from a different ethnic background or originally from another country can be a citizen just the same as a natural born US Citizen.
That works until classes start moving around, like gym, theatre, shop, etc or meeting in different rooms. Not to mention having to make special cases for days with assemblies, field trips and other special circumstances.
I'd guess that would be a huge load of work, and schools would be better off just making sure kids are in the school itself, and letting the teachers and staff ensure that students are in class once they're inside.

No.

YouTube?
Actually, Google Music's All Access has a fair quantity of cover artists as well. Not sure about other radio options.
Please take your own advice, AC.
If I had mod points, I would so mod your post. Response: 10/10, would laugh again.
Anyone else take a look at those renders for Ellington Airport? I just love how the roads and platforms make no engineering sense whatsoever.
I must be in the wrong career field. I should have become an architect so I can design shit that makes no sense.
Reality check: not every project that succeeds on Kickstarter delivers a final product.
It's always the lasers that'll get ya.
I generally expect more open-ended questions out of Ask Slashdot. Yes/No questions are so...finite.

Yes, you were doing it wrong. Now do it right and then pay up on the royalties.
