Except that wasn't a fine it was a retribution payment. He is being made to pay for 100% of the damages though he probably represented less than a small fraction of a single percentage of the attack. So what happens if they manage to find another one of the perpetrators, does that person get off without any financial penalties because the retribution has already been allocated to another?
After using 8 for probably six months now I'm not really sure what the angst over 8 is all about. I don't like the tiled metro interface but I haven't been forced to look at it much since I got my system setup. When I login I see the tiled start screen flash by for about half a second before it goes straight to my familiar desktop, and that is without any addons or 8.1.
My only current complaints are the obfuscation of controls and functions like powering down the PC. Also the lack of context menu when using the default search feature, that kicks you into the metro side of the OS.
In my experience the last sentence there is the primary bit. I don't spend enough time traveling for a laptop to make sense for me to own. So I've always gone with desktop PC's for personal use.
At work though we've switched entirely to laptops, which annoys me to no end. I was one of the last holdouts to be forced to "upgrade". In five years of use the only problem with my PC had been a power supply with a bad fan. Meanwhile co-workers in my office working in identical conditions and very rarely removing their laptop from the office had to receive multiple replacements.
I don't even know that it takes a super high performance car to have the transition happen too fast for a human to compensate. I drove a NA 944 for years and I only once did something stupid enough that I lost control of it. In that case I was sliding through a turn and went too far, instead of 90 degrees we did almost 180. I idiotically let off the throttle and faster than I could even realize what was happening we spun 270 degrees in the other direction until the car was stopped short by a blessedly sloped curb. I really can't express just how fast that spin was, there was no time to try and correct. Once I let off the throttle it was a fraction of a second before we came to a complete stop.
Stability control also frequently has traction controls that prevent you doing things like burnouts. I would think that applicable here because with that much horsepower and correspondingly torque it would be amazingly simple to break traction and end up fishtailing or worse.
I owned a 944 and considered putting an LTS1 engine in it. I ended up not doing so for a variety of reasons one of which was safety. With half the hp as the car in the article it would have still been dangerously powerful for the 944's weight given that it lacked any kind of traction control.
I also owned a '69 catalina when I was younger. Even though that car had a relatively low amount of power by todays standards and weighed nearly 3 tons I had to be very careful driving it on wet pavement because it would break traction very easily.
I've never read Of Mice and Men, but the story as portrayed in the movie was quite good in my opinion. I could see the writing being crap but to me the story is what is most important. Take the Lord of the Rings for example, I remember the language and style of the Fellowship in particular being awkward and simplistic. But the story and world it creates and relays is still amazing in my mind.
War and Peace though struck me as good writing but had a plot that was almost impenatrable. Because of the Russian usage of twenty names and titles for each character following it and making sense of it all was more work than it was worth.
Trust me you don't want to try and get any kind of useful information out of DFAS. That system is about as broken as a thing can be while still managing to accomplish anything. I know a guy who made an error setting up a new allotment and they told him they can't do anything to fix it until it has actually been processed through at least one whole pay period, which for him won't happen until after the new year, and this came up a couple months ago.
That is a good point. My money is mainly in market indexed accounts and my last twelve months have seen a 22% return. Trying to pick winners and losers seems like a losers game to me. Granted this means when the market is down so will my value but the market in the long run has pretty good returns as a whole. We keep a six month buffer in savings and the rest we invest into market indexed funds.
My very conservatice parents installed panels on their home in Ohio. And now it is my Father's favorite pet project to talk about. He can check the past and present performance of the individual cells within each panel from his computer and he loves to do so. When I was there last Christmas he was gleefully pointing out that the panels were still putting out some power even when there was four inches of snow on the ground.
Which is where that whole bit about us being made of star dust comes from. It is not that we are formed of the same stuff that constitutes stars but that literally the atoms that make up our bodies, and most of our world were at some point formed inside a star.
Meh, I'd just live catch trap every cat you can, remove any collars or other identifiers and then drop them off at a nice kill shelter in a neighboring county.
Meh, McRibs are pretty terrible in my personal opinion. I don't know that Blockbuster was all that awesome but I certainly prefer it to any of the other options in the area for going to pick up a movie on a whim that isn't available for streaming on Netflix.
Redbox doesn't interest me because waiting in line while some kids peruse and hem and haw over what to get annoys the hell out of me. Not to mention that it's a fancy vending machine and I seem to have notoriously bad luck with vending machines.
Isn't the nitrogen needed primarily for the formation of the leaves and vines? These plants would only really need a lot of nitrogen in the initial growth phases. Once they are fully grown they would need relatively little nitrogen to keep producing harvestable fruit.
I've called to report probably half a dozen road safety situations over the years. Most of those times I've called 411 and asked to be connected to the non-emergency number for whatever jurisdiction I happen to be in. Every single time the non-emergency number has just been a straight forward to 911. My own local PD seems to do the same, it hasn't mattered what time of day or day of the week their non-emergency number goes straight to 911. So I don't bother finding that number anymore and just call 911.
Maybe I need to go back and read that bit again but I seem to remember that it was just horrendously expensive because it tied up an ansible machine for a very long time compared to how people normally used them.
I guess we'll start loading up the 'B' Ark soon enough. The Real Estate Agents can get warmed up by selling spots on that before their trip to the new worlds.
I think that the performance artist having a closer connection because they also wrote the lyric and tune helps but isn't absolutuley necessary. Just like in acting, a really good performance artist should be able to create that kind of emotional connection to a song when appropriate, even if they didn't write it originally. I get really annoyed when people complain about some band playing music that another composed, and playing it differently. Hell I knew a guy that didn't go to concerts because he didn't like that the bands would often play their set differently than it was recorded for an album. I see no reason that my love of a song should be tied to a single performer and in the same way my appreciation of a performer doesn't need to be tied to a specific song.
I'd bet that you've "searched" for an email on far more occasions than that, at least if you actually use email as a regular form of communication. I tend to keep things pretty organized but folders and sub folders start to fill up after a couple weeks and eventually when I click on a folder that I know contains the email I want I still have to visually search through it's contents, which sometimes contain thousands of emails. That is at work where I have to use outlook. At home I use gmail and I can use the search feature there to find any email far more rapidly than I could click through a series of folders and locate it in a list. You might as well argue against electric calculators because we already have slide rules and the abucus.
I have other complaints about GMail and Google but the search instead of folders definitely isn't one of them.
I wonder what the difference in time frames would be over the same distance so close to such a large mass. In other words if your feet are moving at twice the speed of your head but your head experiences time passage at twice the pace of your feet you shouldn't get stretched.
I have to admit, as should be obvious, that my grasp of physics is pretty poor.
I wonder how much of that legal cost would actually go away if we outlawed the death penalty. I mean those inmates would move from their special cells to something more like the general population, but would that actually eliminate the cost of their appeals? Regardless I think I'd still support eliminating the death penalty for Justice sake.
You don't usually even need to download anything extra. Just move the existing file to a backup directory and put an empty text file in it's place renamed to match.
1. What kind of useful bandwidth can we actually push using this kind of technology. I've seen discussion before revolving around how you can only transmit so fast and there is only so much frequency bandwidth. So what would the saturation point be. Whatever the saturation point ends up being we could negate it by just transmitting weaker signals, that would however have the drawback of requiring more hardware to achieve the same coverage.
2. What is the required antenna size requirement like. Usually the wider the band you are using the less things like walls get in the way of the actual signal but you also need a larger antenna. I helped my Father as a child set up an 80m amatuer radio antenna once, it was a dipole and so didn't take up much volumetric space but it did need a long straight stretch of space.
The worst part of it for me is that even as we get closer to being able to automate most of that work load the organization responsible for putting out the checklists rehashes the whole thing negating most of our work. On top of that you have customers who's security goal is to be good enough to not stick out, while the driving policy from on high is 100% and we get caught in the middle even though all we do is evaluate systems for weaknesses and tell the responsible partis.
I wasn't actually in the IA/IW career fields while enlisted but they were elements of concern in my career field. When I seperated I had no trouble at all getting a $60K offer doing cybersecurity as a contractor in my local area. For me that was a huge increase in pay from E5 and the locality where I work makes that pay go even further. That was a few years ago and I'm no longer a contractor but doing the same thing for the same organization and getting 25% more pay with better benefits.
It sounds like they wanted to higher you for a low level position, which of course would be a waste of your time given your skill level. That or they really were just trying to low ball you in the extreme. If you ever decided to go back to IA/IW for the DoD I'd look for gs14/15 jobs that aren't in the high cost parts of the country.
I seem to remember reading about a doctor who actually developed a relatively simple aparatus for slowly stretching what skin is left into a functional foreskin. I believe he invented it because in some cases where they botch the procedure the skinn ends up being too tight making an erection actually painful. Anyways it was suposed to be pretty painless and you would just wear it under your clothes on a daily basis until you had the desired amount of slack. I guess it wouldn't do anything for restoring lost nerve endings but it's a start.
