What you're missing is Grandma has to be able to figure out how to do this, too, and the fact that you may have to access those password-protected services from places where you can't use your password bank.
Disposal and proliferation.
What happens when your redneck neighbor lets his nuclear-powered beater corrode in the back yard for 10 years? And do you really want someone being able to go to any car dealer to get their dirty bomb payload?
The device itself, in good condition and being used properly would be superior to any car on the road now. Unfortunately when it comes into contact with reality, the dream falls to pieces.
Did you read the readmes in the torrent? The attackers claim that they took DAYS to download those passwords. That traffic didn't look unusual to anyone? Should any system anywhere that isn't either migrating that database or backing it up be looking at more than a couple of passwords in any short span of time? Regardless, this didn't draw any attention.
Bug or not, there's not really any excuse here.
I suppose it is difficult to reliably get a real-world testing environment colder than that. I mean, there are plenty of places that get -40 for weeks at a time, but you'd have to park your engineers in the middle of nowhere Canada or interior Alaska for months at a time to be sure they'd get their -50 or -60.
That said, I'm surprised how bad the larger engine in that year's Corolla is. You COULD average 27 in it.
But you'd still have to have no idea how to drive to get that on the highway. And keep in mind this is the new EPA testing regime, and it was entirely possible to get better than old-style EPA numbers, without driving like an asshole.
Uh, yeah, you are. Sometimes you've got to park all day someplace without power outlets.
It's bad for the engine, and a bad habit to get into, but on older cars (good ones, anyway), you could, assuming a good charge on the battery and the starting system in good working order, start them at LEAST as cold as -50F, without block heaters.. (That being the coldest I ever did it.)
Thing is, they get that whether they're economically and militarily oppressed or not.
Actually, if they weren't, they might not have voted Hamas in in the first place. So maybe they wouldn't.
The ability to solve for X is applicable in at least one aspect of just about everyone's life. You quilt, you have some known elements you want to include, and you need to know how big your other pieces need to be. You ride motorcycles and you want to change your bike's acceleration characteristics...how big a gear do you need? You do absolutely anything involving money over a long period of time.
I've never had any sort of science or engineering job, but I've never gone 6 months without using SOMETHING from Algebra 1 or Algebra 2. You just have to be able to recognize when it can help. (I've rarely used anything beyond that, though.)
I didn't say it was an indicator of how much wealth exists, I said it was an indicator of how much can be extracted by people who don't give a shit. GDP indicates the value of transactions. It is in those transactions that the opportunity to remove wealth from a group exists.
GDP is a very useful measure for the purpose of making the wealthy wealthier.

I'm not sure there's any high-speed rolling stock that is really built for that.
Somalia is under-polluted.
I wouldn't trust a US-based journalist to understand the concept of taking a train and all that it implies.
I mean surely the ebay seller accounts will invariably be traced to the correct individuals, right?
You could say the same about highways or airports.
Beat me to it. This is the obvious benefit. I doubt it will ever be the marketing coup that "astronaut ice cream" was, though.
What we need is another WAR! If people are too busy getting killed for real, they'll be to busy to reproduce, OR eat!

So I can't use a Mastercard to pay for Usenet service, then?

and it never gets posted in completely irrelevant subforums.
"IQ in the genius range"
I really wish people would stop saying things like this.
You did that by posting data that had nothing to do with the car in question? Okay.

I don't think you understand how fuel economy works, or what an average is.

Just another reason to hate Toyota, I guess.

I hope that's 27 city, because jesus christ, either there's something wrong with your car or there's something wrong with you.
Only -40? How do new cars do in REAL cold, anyway?

Sorry, but they got the patent anyway. Thank you, USPTO; fuck you rest of the world.

Great. I just ordered a new DVD drive. If I'd known this I might have tried to get one from the UK.
