No, you're the fucking idiot. That is precisely what Calydor is saying. I'd love to see John Deere try that bullshit on a farm. The unlucky sap they hire to impound the tractor would be looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge shotgun.
Not for long hopefully or he will bring government reinforcements; shoot, shovel, shut up.
There are some aspects of Yahoo that are worthwhile. Their groups are easy to run and maintain...
That explains why after their latest Groups fiasco and the rumors of them being bought, alternative group content systems have been setup and groups are preparing to transfer all of their content to them.
Let me be clear; Yahoo Groups are a total and complete disaster do to their "upgrades".
No. No one died because of technology. People died because they are not using the technology correctly. Tesla let the drivers know that the tech was in beta, Telsa let the drivers know to pay attention and still be alert and able to take control if the system fails to do exactly what it failed to do.
And *that* is a human factors engineering problem. Here you have a system which allows the driver to pay less attention *and* it expects the driver to take over in an emergency? That combines the worst of two separate systems.
Remember all the propaganda about "commies" and the "unfettered power of the police" they used to warn us about? Well, it turns out it was actually the US government that was running wild with virtually no constraints. The only constraint was "don't get caught", and even when they did get caught, nothing really happened.
And now the police feel free to shoot anyone, any time, on any pretext or none at all.
At last our police do not charge your family for the bullets they shoot you with so we have that going for us.
The days of the Republicans being proponents of small government are gone. (If that ever was the case, in the first place. At the very least, the GOP has been a steady supporter of increasing the military's size no matter what.)
Republicans never supported small government but they liked to say they did.
If 3rd parties get a combined 10%, 20%, 30% or more of the vote don't you think that people would take notice?
No. If 3rd parties routinely threw elections and people took notice, then they would be unlawful in one way or another. The only reason they are tolerated is that they have no significant influence and provide a modicum of false respectability to the political process.
No. It's not too late to get change via the ballot box.
Once we selected plurality as our voting system, it was too late. I do not blame the people who did this since they could not know better but I blame those who continue to support it. We have the government and everything resulting from it that we deserve.
at some point people will look at the 10 64GB SD cards they already have and decide they're good, thanks anyway.
at some point people will look at the 1 256GB, 2 128GB, 3 64GB, 5 32GB, 12 16GB, 7 8GB, 3 4GB and 4 1GB SD cards they already have and decide they're good, thanks anyway.
More likely they will look at their drawer full of bad SD cards and conclude these things are junk and should not be trusted. 1000 rewrites? Ha! They do not even retrain contents for more than a few months when new.
I'd like to note for the record that Apple gave stewardship of FireWire to the IEEE (1394), and anyone can implement it (e.g., Sony who called it i.Link); it's used in aircraft as well.
Was that before or after Apple killed Firewire by demanding per port fees?
Think about it. When AOL came out and got a lot of people online, most of them thought of "the internet" as whatever AOL presented to them. How many people do YOU know that think of "the internet" as whatever is on FB?
I'm ok with this if it means Eternal September moves to Facebook.
Lead-acid batteries are the only other common secondary battery that can use constant voltage charging and except for flooded cells and sometimes not even with them, they must be current limited to prevent damage.
Charging the various lithium chemistry batteries safely is not that difficult and no more complicated than most other battery chemistries although the failures are more serious. I think what is happening is that they are exceeding the safe power density of the batteries to reduce charge time and increase power.
The problem with a roller coaster - which is what a high speed train is - is the lateral accellerations due to small imperfections in the rail/pipe that can bruise and injure the passengers.
If only there was some technology combining springs, dashpots, and inertial mass to decouple wheels from the passengers.
I left AT&T U-Verse because of the caps but besides blocking IP6, this was definitely a problem where I am. Maximum throughput during the evenings was below the 3 Mbit/second of their slowest plan and usually below 1 Mbit/second. The actual error free link speed was like 27 Mbits/second.
If the prisoners are not distracted, the results are worse and the costs are higher. I have no problem caging them like animals at the zoo and beating them on even days and feeding them on odd days however if that is the policy, know that they should never be released back into society. If prisons do not support rehabilitation, then why have sentences other than life?

So stop buying them.
It is too bad "golden parachute" does not denote a backpack loaded with a golden anvil.

I don't know anybody who voted for Nixon.

Localizers here we come! Vernor Vinge would be proud!
Ubiquitous law enforcement here we come! Vernor Vinge wouldn't be proud!
Are ties in the Senate so common and important that I should care who is Vice President?

WiFi is also commonly unavailable.
But caps are commonly available.
1 Hillary wins the presidency.
2. Democrats win the house and senate.
I hope this happens so we can get it over with.

How about making a browser that is not slow and a memory hog?

1. Will she face ANY sanctions of any kind?
For punishment, they will make her President. This episode shows her eminent qualifications.
I was being sarcastic.

Would that include Curtis Lemay?
"I suppose if I had lost the war, I would have been tried as a war criminal."
Don't give them cards and TV then.
