    And as you get old enough to afford equipment where you see the quality difference. Or you get old enough to get burnt by a service.

    They better put it somewhere you can conveniently reach during sex. Just sayin'

  5. Philemon, is that you?

  6. Everyone pointing out the invalid assumptions of this study is missing the point. This research isn't about actually improving anything. It's about someone getting their MS or PhD and a couple professors getting their names on something to keep their publication rate up. Academia has no requirement for research to be useful. MIT is no different.

    I'm sure having a nice job at Uber lined up is one of the goals as well.

    You see it as mundane. Some see it as an opportunity to do an easy job and get to chat with people all day, especially regular customers.

    Real world mileage with the SL and SW series was generally nothing short of amazing.

    Yeah, but how was the oil mileage? Ho ho!

    I used to be one of the people that thought the increased alcohol content would ruin gaskets, hoses, and cylinder walls, but the auto industry has already addressed it years ago.

    Yes, this is mainly going to affect those with vehicles older than say, 15 years or so.

  10. I hope they don't cripple it on Microsoft's x86 on ARM64 Emulation: A Windows 10 Redstone 3 Fall 2017 Feature (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    I hope they don't cripple it like they did Windows RT. People ported some desktop applications to the ARM architecture, but it wouldn't run any applications not signed by Microsoft.

    > apparently they didn't like the change in my IP address.

    This did not happen.

    Right? I use a Japanese VPN all the freakin' time. It's a tossup as to whether or not I'll appear in the US or Minato-ku, Tokyo. Still no account issues.

    They're going to find fecal matter, aren't they?

  13. iPhones could be made completely in the US and Apple could charge the exact same price for them as they do now and the only difference is Apple's profits would go from ridiculously obscene to only slightly obscene.

    Whoa, buddy. You're talking about affecting America's first class citizens: shareholders. What next? A decent wage increase for the middle class? You're mad!

    My buddy who is married to a Chinese girl and lives there says the one-child policy has ended. Even before, you could do it if you payed a "fine."

  15. That was pushed for by West Virginia after Virginia didn't follow through with that promise that they were "totally gonna change our name to East Virginia for you guys!"

  16. Do Japan next on YouTube's Seven-Year Stand-off Ends (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Great job, YouTube. Now work your shit out with Japanese labels - you know, those people you didn't really consider when you decided to roll out YouTube Red based on the user's region, ignoring the fact that lots of people watch videos not made in the US.

  17. I totally support banning Airbnb for the usual arguments (flophouses, property values, rental markets, etc). Still, this CEO isn't going to help anything by giving Airbnb supporters ammunition. Thanks, jackass.

    There's been plenty of filth before this, but this is still really damn "nasty." Is it weird that I like to think about the "good 'ol days" of 2012?

    Initially it really was for computers who were all going to the same place

    Sadly, the personal transportation market for PCs just wasn't as big as they thought.

  20. As someone who actually likes Dell business laptops, their touchpads have always sucked.

  21. In all fairness, I probably should have said "nearly every." Especially consumer-facing brands.

  22. So.. they never heard of Sony's old Music Unlimited?

    Every food company does this now. In fact, most companies that make things you ingest follow the example of Tylenol when dealing with product issues. Nobody wants that bad juju when their business is selling things you put inside your body.

  24. Man, this freaked me out for a minute. I thought they were talking about the AVTECH that makes environment monitors for datacenters. Don't get me wrong, those very well could have their own vulnerabilities, but it's a relief to know it's not this company.

  25. Thank you for saying what needed to be said. "Bob the Super Hamste" (sic) for U.S. President! I don't even care if you're not 'Murican. [the-rock-clapping.gif]
