Additionally, cabin electronics aren't water-tight so submersion in ocean water would ruin them in fairly short order.
Only if you opened a door and let the water in...I would think that a vehicle designed to be pressurized to a certain atmosphere (i.e., keep air in) would be capable of keeping water out. Especially since jets are designed to fly through rainstorms, right?
Although that obviously falls into the "there will always be a top 10%" problem...:-)
Cf. telecommunications industry refusing to upgrade the network, instead "selling" bandwidth at 10x (or whatever) actual capacity. "Oh yeah yeah yeah...it's totally unlimited..." Then they yank the rug out from under you.
Some things are sufficiently difficult to find that that may not be feasible. Old and not-popular stuff that you could only find in 1 or 2 obscure places gets ripped down by the *IAA, or the site just dies sometime within the next 10 years, and then what?
All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in the rain...
It would amuse me to no end watching scientists try to keep a straight face when they are forced to discuss e.g. a crater Titty-Titty Fuck-Fuck. (because you know that's going to happen eventually...this is the Internet we're talking about here)
The fact that the IAU both refuses to name the craters, and let anyone else do so, seems rather...selfish? Petty? These craters must remain nameless because they say so?
If the dashboard wouldn't display the speedometer unless I manipulated some nonobvious control that was buried in the user manual, you can bet your ass I would say the car is horrible.
"Bottom 25%" plus the ~6% unemployment you quoted earlier still only gets you up to the 31st percentile. I'm not disputing your underlying logic but wonder whether the median is really $10/hour. And how many of those are kids who don't really need the jobs?
My point is for the bottom 25% that is a sad reality and since XP users make up 15 to 20% of users in the USA according to statistics it makes perfect sense.
or I am poor and wondering how to pay rent and my heart medication and need to decide which is more important at the end of this month etc.
Yeah, the problem is that we can't fix everything that's wrong with society all at once (PCs and the health industry and employment). Obviously the problem is that 50% of the country doesn't think that a lot of these are problems for some reason...
Microsoft's naming scheme is so hopelessly mangled I've kind of given up on ever understanding it again.
Windows paradigm shifting every release was bad enough: 98, ME, XP, Vista, 7. Then you've got X-Box, X-Box 360 (presumably a reference to a 360 degree turn...why would I want to be back where I started?), and X-Box One.
Now after the last relatively sane numbering system was in Office ('97/XP, 2000, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2010, 2012...), they've decided to kill that with "Office 365"? Way too close in numbering to 360...and this is supposed to be a reference to 365 days in a year? I can use previous copies of Office every fucking day of the year without a subscription!! DO NOT WANT.
Although that last is a kind of moot argument as I've been using Open/LibreOffice ever since 2007 and The Ribbon. I still regret spending $79 on that (with the CS degree discount).
But unlike the unfortunate insurance executive whose divorce records Guccifer released, at least I had conducted my own correspondence with the matrimonial bar on an old EarthLink server, before we parked our business on Gmail’s platform indefinitely.
You want your divorce paperwork to be a secret? Isn't that a matter of public record? Unless you're a celebrity or something, why would you care who knew you were divorced?
That said, I hold less antipathy for Guccifer than for the gatekeepers who give us a false impression that our digital homes are protected and encourage us to cram in ever more precious assets. But when the locks are picked with abandon, there is no accountability.
THEY DON'T. Please show me ANYONE who would encourage you to store a list of plaintext passwords in your email account!
The cult of the hacker is the tech-age update of America’s long romance with the outlaw; hence an emerging narrative that casts Guccifer as sort of a Sundance Kid to Edward Snowden’s Butch Cassidy — or, per New York magazine, the hacker’s “Graydon Carter, the host of a fabulous, scandalous party,” to Mr. Snowden’s “geek crusader.”
The more weird comparisons like this you make, the more I'm convinced you have no idea what the hell you're talking about.
Have to say, after reading the first two paragraphs (have "paragraph" and "sentence" always been synonymous in news/paper articles?), I've already come to the conclusion that your comment is 100% accurate.
I WAS at the Museum of Modern Art in New York not long ago, soaking in Edward Hopper’s retro downer mystique,
Hmm...elitist art person?
when I got a call that opened up brave new all-night-diners of doom and gloom.
Rather inflammatory and blatantly attention-grabbing.
The editor of thesmokinggun.com, a website that publishes embarrassing documents with headlines like “Man Jailed for Toilet Seat Attack on Disabled Kin,”
Crass...just from the URL I can already tell that I don't want to know anything about the site because it'll probably depress me.
had come into some documents of mine, including my Social Security number with birth date, a photograph of me assailing a moth infestation in an elderly friend’s kitchen
Okay, not that surprising but obviously not fun.
and nearly all my passwords.
Aaaaand this immediately sets off my warning bells that you probably did something monumentally stupid in order for this to happen.
I'm surprised it took until two thirds of the way down this article for someone to say this. The author seems to be proposing that companies just don't implement security and "trust" hackers to not hack?
I also don't "get" why all these security breaches keep happening where the attacker can download the plaintext of basically all users' passwords...why the hell aren't these companies just storing the password hash? If a user forgets their password, email them a reset link to their listed account email. Wasn't this a solved problem 10 years ago?
(I admit I'm straying into the "this should be so simple and just work!" viewpoint that I complain about non-programmers having, unfortunately.)
This just in: Satoshi Nakamoto, the famous Japanese man, was recently discovered to have changed his name from Momomoto, and can thus swallow his own nose.
In other news, Leah McGrath Goodman is actually a cabbage.
Point A: Earth. Point B: Jupiter. (Point B1: Europa.)
From one planet to another, inside the same solar system. Terms are completely accurate as used. Hell, Earth and Jupiter aren't even orbitally adjacent.

Boom.
Actually, a single-sided DVD is ~4800 MiB.
Comparison by volume, maybe, but quality? (Or maybe that's just my "don't need better quality than DVD" craziness popping up again.)

All those moments will be lost in time...like tears in the rain...
Then don't advertise the damn thing as unlimited! Say "up to 1TB" or whatever it actually is!
Because an 800 MB DVD compression and a 10% quality JPEG are so analogous, yeah.

He said "pretty common," not "always the case." Don't be dense.
Yes, anyone who can use the phrase "retro downer mystique" with a straight face is an elitist art bastard in my book.
Protip: Stop giving people "protips," because it makes you sound like an insufferable arrogant twat.
YES. Aero Snap was pretty much the last feature I was looking for in Windows. Then came the hatchet...
