That movie will traumatize anyone. Though I haven't found other movies with as good battleship footage unfortunately. It's kind of like that scab you keep picking at.
Makes me think what they should have done is to use the current system where updates cannot be turned off but any user can specify updates to decline. Then perhaps allow them to delay all updates for 1-7 days so they have time to figure out if an update should be declined. This could help avoid machines that haven't been updated for years.
If you have the self-control, great, eat whatever you want. The problem is, most people don't have any self-control. Doesn't just apply just to diet, either - same thing happens to highly indebted people who just spend and spend and spend.
A healthy well balanced diet doesn't suffer as much from those issues - the food is generally less calorie dense, and harder to digest so it takes longer. It also helps those with less self-control.
This. Most of the day I'm hungry. Even after I finish lunch I could eat more but don't. The past few weeks I've been a bit stressed and let myself eat when I was hungry and look at this, I'm up five pounds. Time to tell my appetite to bite me and go back to being hungry.
I also know not everyone is wired like me. I can typically ignore hunger or pain while I'm working (software development) so it isn't necessarily that hard for me. I get home and play computer games instead. Not sure it is really that healthy, trading one addiction for another but it's my life.
Heck, just lower your quantity of junk food. Doesn't have to be perfect food to stay in fair shape as long as it isn't excessive. Should see the 3+ pound pile of lettuce I see overweight coworkers eating.
So far, other than Windows 7, I haven't see a windows version work so good at release. 8 was just a miserable UI experience, Vista was a resource hog that refused to run anything and XP actually killed a machine that had to be replaced by warranty (OK that may have been a bad machine but XP never was stable for me until SP1).
I disapprove of the forced updates but I find having all update generally does more good than harm. I've seen updates break computers but I've seen missed updates cause more problems.
My coworker drove something like 2k miles round trip to get his Chevy Volt (at a significant discount). I'm more motivated by saving money than he is so I await the better priced local EVs before I make my move.
Some would argue that if you can't see the road, you shouldn't be driving. Personally, I'd like to keep street lights at intersections. I generally don't drive by GPS so having a clear marker of "there is a street here" as well as illumination of the crosswalks before my headlights are pointing right at the boy crossing the street I'm turning left onto are quite useful.
In west Michigan it can be over a day before some main roads are visible again after big storms and during long term storms you can have days where the road is not visible. Forget about side roads. Wouldn't mind not working those days but my employer has other ideas.
Yes and no, discouraging unsanitary actions is not just a first world problem. Though the solution seems decidedly first world to me when that doesn't seem necessary...
Maybe not as well as running it natively, but they've definitely got it working well enough. I've already played games using Steam streaming from one computer to another. It absolutely works and the latency is nowhere near as bad as you'd think.
The problem comes with playing a game on a device with a totally inappropriate input system. They already make gaming laptops but they suck for gaming because the laptop form factor sucks for gaming. Sony offers PS4 streaming to the Vita and that sucks because the Vita sucks. Streaming PC games to the Xbox One is going to require hooking up a keyboard and mouse to really work well.
So streaming works - but is almost always worthless because generally if you have a "gaming computer" you're going to want to use it directly over any other device even if streaming were perfect. I can't imagine trying to game on one of those lousy Surface tablet things.
Considering you have to hook up a keyboard and mouse and monitor to a desktop PC, I kind of fail to see the difference. It is all just about hooking up a computer (desktop box, laptop, xbox) to the appropriate I/O devices for your play style. Now if we want to talk processing power, that is a whole other topic.
Same approach as capturing bats. Since it was only about 10 ft up at times, toss a blanket over it and bring it down. Hey, look what I found on my property!
The article says they have laws against firing guns in the city so there is a point behind arresting him for that.
The drone owner was definitely acting improperly but I also don't think fire first and ask questions later is the correct approach. I'd try to get the drones attention with a gun to let it know this is unacceptable, then if it sticks around it is time for some drone skeet shooting.
I think he should get whatever the typical penalty firing a gun in the city is, otherwise just a slap on the wrist. The drone owners should have gotten hit harder by the police though.

I use flashblock to block the video ads and I can still choose to view them. Also stops auto play videos that are "content".

I was going to say even enough lettuce can add too many calories but I retract that particular claim as I don't think they are eating 10-20 pounds.

And yet if you don't consume more calories than you burn, how do you metabolize more calories than you burn?

This. As soon as you open the computer up for the user to do anything, it can be misused. Though maybe just an output only computer would be safe :)
Isn't that called voting and the reason why the fire departments nearest my house keep closing?

Yep
The OS farms your information? That's it, I'm going back to my Chromebook and Android tablet.
Google thanks you for your personal data and promises it will not be evil, perhaps just naughty.

Unfortunately my average is closer to 5-6k miles a year. Though I'm a tad of an outlier...
Results for used Chevy Spark EV near my area:
No cars found
Try changing your search criteria or start over
For Toyota Prius Plug-in, one three year old with 37k miles located 50 miles away, call for price.
For Ford Fusion, 87 results.
I want an EV some day but for many reasons it isn't that day yet.

Not worth it yet next to my $15k one year old used Ford Taurus (yeah that was bought a few years back). Getting closer though.
Just needs more thrust & control surfaces.
Yep, just make it bigger so it has more power and... why is our drone now too large to launch from the ship? The history of miniaturization :)
Well, I guess you'll have to 3D print a bigger ship, then!
And then bigger people so everything remains to scale?

Parents showing responsibility? How can we expect this if their kids don't... er... hmm.
