Yep, the hard part is usually not learning the few rules of the language itself (though that is added pain) but learning to design, in complete detail, every step needed for the program, without missing any.
You never said your house qualified as a residential area. That law has upped the speed limit on plenty of four lane streets that have lots of houses with driveways on those streets.
I don't have time to track down the specific law as everything comes up with discussions about upping our highway speed limits to 80 and it was about four or five years ago the city I live in was forced by the state to up the speed limit on a number of streets for the 85% law (maybe it is a regulation or something).
"Plenty of research has shown that the safest group of vehicles are traveling at or below the 85th to 90th percentiles. At the 85th to 90th percentiles we tend to find drivers with above average skill and competence, and this is why their crash risk is the lowest. Above the 90th percentile we tend to find drivers exceeding safe limits and their accident risk increases as a consequence. Note that the "average" driver at the 50% percentile has a greater crash risk than the 85th percentile driver. Below the 30th percentile crash risk is significantly increased and these speeds tend to be used by less skilled and competent drivers."

If I remember correctly, the Michigan law is that the speed limit must be set so that 85% (maybe 65%?) of the traffic is driving at or under the speed limit. Unless the street has a certain number of driveways per mile, in that case it can be considered residential and have a 25 MPH speed limit.
Pray tell how do you drive down a side road like this comfortably at over 25 MPH? If the google map image comes across right, the image shown is when there are hardly any cars parked. Often the street has cars parked on both sides for multiple houses with barely enough gap between to get a normal size car in between.

The street I used to live on was one of the only non-boulevarded streets going into a quarter square mile residential area. Everyone drives 35+ despite it being a residential street with barely even two lanes. The city's preferred way of dealing with this? Put in 25 MPH speed limit signs with flags on them. Seriously, does anyone not know you are supposed to go 25 MPH on a residential side road?
The main thing I'm going to miss with Copy.com going down is free 50GB cloud storage. Dropbox and Google don't even add up to that much. May have to look into mega.
Not to mention those blazingly faster new phones don't mean much to many consumers. I bought a Galaxy S5 to replace my 2.5 year old Motorola Droid about two years ago. Yeah it was faster, it could run some games that were more pretty than the old phone, I didn't really care. My Galaxy S5 is almost out of its 2 year contract and I was going to go to prepay since I had no interest in upgrading. Now that Verizon isn't paying for new phones but hardly dropped the cost of subscription, I'm definitely taking my Galaxy S5 (that has a replaceable battery, so that doesn't automatically end its life) to a prepay plan and using it until it stops running.
Or eat 1500-2000 calories per day (often toward the lower end) and exercise a little less vigorously. Yeah I'm not quite as healthy but between work, teaching a night class and wife I don't have as much time as I'd like. I can still ride an exercise bike for a half an hour with my heart rate at 160 and not out of breath, step off the bike and my heart rate is under 120 in 2 minutes just from walking and my weight is low. I don't spend a lot of time studying health but I think I'm passably alright.
I used to go to the local short track a lot. When the open wheel cars came around you could smell the difference in the fuel they were using, just like you mention.
Not to mention that almost any security system to prevent people from transferring data off the site can be worked around one way or another. Any perfectly secure system is perfectly static, nothing will ever change in the data it is protecting.
From experience, on site has been the best as there is less confusion about what needs to be done. While an e-mail may go days without a response, dropping by at a desk works nicely.
If you want to give them the ability to work off site, provide laptops with encrypted hard drives and an NDA (as mentioned by an earlier poster). I've been working for years on government contracts where they really don't want the info getting out and it has worked pretty well.
And what is it that people like about bull riding and hockey? I don't think it is animals and friendly competition.
As an engineer, I love racing because of the work needed to balance the suspension and aerodynamics of the car to get the best setup. Of course watching NASCAR on TV isn't the same experience as being in the pits of the local short track, working with a team on their setup.
How many robbers will actually break into a house if they expect to meet armed resistance? Starving ones, sure. I'd rather make sure people have the bare necessities too. Once that is covered, I suspect any robbers are looking for minimal resistance.
My gun has less to do with wanting to shoot anyone who tries to break into my house, though. I have a gun so my wife has a chance if someone tries to break in when she is home. The only time it will ever get used is if someone breaks in through a window or breaks down my door which is ALWAYS locked.
Probably true. I'm just stating accomplishing 50% of his complains will be 10x more accomplished than previous presidents. I'm not sure that is a good or bad thing but I'm leaning towards very bad.
For someone who claims to not be a politician, Trump is very good as politician-speak - the art of telling people you'll do things with no intentions/plans/ability to follow through on it.
Also, I thought Republicans didn't like the government interfering in business? Wouldn't forcing a company to redo its entire operations just to keep everything in America fall under government interference? How long until people realize that President Trump won't be able to do half the things he claims he'll do?
If he pulled off half of what he claims, he would be 10x better than any previous candidate.
One of our friends had a five year old Acer netbook with Win 7 starter (a bit of a WTF in itself). They thought they had to upgrade to Win 10 so they said OK to the nag window. End result, the computer no longer starts. I tried pulling the HD and looking at it with another computer and the computer doesn't even know what to do with the drive.

Three pedals? I'm pretty sure this car comes with two pedals and and nice selection of gear settings. http://images.thecarconnection...

That or the calorie count on the food he consumes is not as accurate to each person as it should be?
Not to mention that NASCAR is using the "new" ethanol fuel.
Nothing new either. Kalman filters have been used for avionics with mixed and low quality sensors for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

5 years old, I think the HD was ready to go. Still, I blame Windows 10!
Got my wife a cheap refurbished Chromebook. She much prefers it over having to deal with MS bs all the time.
