The new STB which replaces the big grey monstrosity cannot be turned off via the remote control. You can only turn it off by pushing the button on the front.
From what I understand the new X1 box is just a micro PC with a PCcard in it.
So with the two riders so close to each other, if you hit a bump or have to stop suddenly, the rear rider's head may hit the back of the front rider's helmet.
If you're in the back, you might want to wear a mouth guard...
Ever heard of Rolling Blackouts? Back in 2003 in California, many parts of California suffered these. However, I live close to a hospital and for hospitals and other specific facilities power could not be shut off.
Damn I hated working with [SGI] UNIX. You couldn't wipe your ass without them wanting to charge you for it.
Guess you never worked with Banyan Vines... you couldn't do anything without a hardware dongle attached to the parallel port on the back. If you wanted to enable multiple features, you daisy chained multiple dongles off each other. I recall seeing servers with 5-6 dongles hanging off the same parallel port like some sort of unicorn horn.
I used AWS for a few projects for my research. I would upload a data set to AWS run the MapReduce jobs and then analyze the output in AWS. Once complete, I'd download the results and shutdown the whole environment. I could programatically spin up the whole environment in about an hour or so.
So would this require every Police/Emergency Vehicle to be equipped with such a car to car communications system.
Also, often when there's an accident on the highway, and cars are stopped, people will get out of the way for a tow truck to get through to move the disabled vehicle.
No Siren and tow truck lights aren't red/white/blue. Typically they are orange.
If I want to call up $company and tell them "delete everything you know about me from your index." This implies that without asking them, I've granted them the ability to track me.
This also puts quite a burden on me to call them up and say, "Hey, I just joined BowlingLeague.com as user StrikesAPlenty, please delete me from your index.
Also, how do you prove that a given user really is you? Your name probably isn't that unique. Which "Bob Smith" are you?
Pay for your prenatal supplies with cash. Don't surf the web for anything related to pregnancy or children. Surf the web for chainsaws and snowblowers. Read books. Read Newspapers made from paper.

I was an avid RC Helicopter hobbyist as a high school kid and I'm wondering what's the difference between a drone and a remote controlled helicopter/plane?
Is the drone 100% autonomous vs. the RC line of sight? Though you could fly an RC with a nose mounted camera..
Well, if this client is as crufty and badly-written as OpenSSL (which I've been complaining about for years), then you may have a point.
Irony: Where you have the skill to completely understand that a major software program is "crufty and badly-written" but don't do anything other than complain about it "for years".
I've heard this argument since the beginning of time with regards to open source, but is there anybody on earth that could "review the source code" for an entire platform?
At some point you have to trust someone, like the folks that wrote the driver for your USB mouse...
Unless you happen to also understand the USB mouse source code at which point I stand corrected, until you can do USB mouse support and video driver and filesystem and etc etc...
I've tried dozens of different types of veggie-burgers or meatless burgers. And the problem is that no matter what type of spices/sauces you put in them, you just don't get the meat flavor. The oils and fats that are added to them don't sear/brown/caramelize etc..
With a piece of meat (beef/chicken/fish), I can cook it rare, medium or well done depending on the dish (tuna: sear only, hamburger: well done) or the consumer.
With meat substitutes it's "Cook it until warm/hot". The product itself doesn't change between temperatures. I'd say it's like making toast but atleast with bread a slightly toasted piece of bread tastes differently from one that is dark brown.
How many of the "millions and millions" of iphone/android apps have only been used a few times. I seem to recall at one point there were about a hundred "flashlight apps" for iphone alone..
In a convertible with plenty of daylight, you run the risk of having the display being washed out by sunlight.
Wouldn't all these screens (2 side views and a rear-view) ruin one's night vision? Running the console lights at a bright setting already diminishes your night vision, and now we'll have two screens doing the same thing.
I guess having these cameras will also keep people from, i dunno actually turning their head and verifying there isn't something there when they change lanes...
So now I've got a bulb that when i turn it off at the switch it stops drawing electricity, they want lightbulbs all over my house that are not off but in "standby" mode. Sucking on power throughout the day...
I remember when lightbulbs were not $15 but $.50.

who cares, if you've got an idea and a way of making people rich, who the F cares.
Silicon Valley is full of assh*les...
Jobs. Ellison. McNeely. Jayshree Ullal (CEO of Arista) Zuckerberg Sergey Brinn (cheated on wife)
These people lead companies and make people filthy rich. Why do they need a lesson from Miss Manners?
Silicon Valley is based on the premise of making investors huge sums of money, plain and simple. I don't mean the people investing on the NASDAQ, but those that work on Sand Hill Blvd. That is the Real Silicon Valley. Take a look at what Marc Andreesen has done since he sold Netscape. IPO and sold company after company for billions of dollars.
The people on the outside complain. Well you know, not having charisma like George Clooney works perfectly fine here. There's plenty of 80hr/wk engineers in the world that would have jumped at the chance to work at FB, Google, Oracle and their 'lack of charisma' CEOs pre-IPO.
In many video games, going back to some of the oldest, there's almost always been multiple races. Heck even Space Invaders had two races. WoW has over a dozen.
If you're going to make a game that involves humans. Which race do you pick? Someone's going to get offended no matter which race you pick.
I play SC2, Terran. There's Zergs and Protoss. Three races right there. Is someone offended that the Terrans appear to be primarily Caucasian? Sure there's a few bit characters that aren't. Why isn't Reynor hispanic, or Jewish or Chinese or Native American or whatever...

Uh, people generally get their lives improved by being provided with food, shelter in general, and means to make a living.
FTFY.
But I guess internet access is more important.
Ever heard of Rolling Blackouts? Back in 2003 in California, many parts of California suffered these. However, I live close to a hospital and for hospitals and other specific facilities power could not be shut off.
Because I haven't figured out what platform to migrate my mother to.

The R3 is just an "instance". Sure it's a memory optimized instance, but it's not even their relational instances or mapreduce databases.
Don't feed the trolls.

Whole thing cost me about $350.
Now if this device could tell me what my wife is saying....
...It's Blizzard and their lack of willingness to properly balance the game.
Protoss has no repercussions for doing any of a dozen types of proxy or "all-in" openings.
So would this require every Police/Emergency Vehicle to be equipped with such a car to car communications system.

Would it pull over if it sees the blinking lights / siren behind it?
Could you spoof it with a bunch of blinking xmas lights on the side of the road?

Not so tough.

Does the FAA define what a drone is?

Toaster Oven... a 25yr old Hamilton Beach Standmixer. Though there's probably a few people out there with ones older than this.
I still use the same lawnmower I bought in '79. Had to replace the blade, but it still cuts the grass without problems.

Argh...
Now the bulbs are more expensive than the lamp....
I couldn't imagine outfitting a chandelier with $300 worth of bulbs...
So now I've got a bulb that when i turn it off at the switch it stops drawing electricity, they want lightbulbs all over my house that are not off but in "standby" mode. Sucking on power throughout the day...
