Microsoft is tired of supporting old ass insecure software. They can't rely on people who won't run patches
I can completely sympathize with this frustration. My problem is not the annoyware pestering people to update their old ass insecure version but in the pushing of the entire update. Plenty of people have to use their phone in hot-spot mode or whatever kind of metered link to get some work done and the background download is killing it. Next time you're on a flight paying $$$ for the wifi that's already dead dog slow over satellite, tell me you don't mind someone a few rows over getting a giant update pushed at them.
No, no, all they did was count up the seconds. From the title of the article I was expecting to see force usage estimated in newtons or at least calories. THAT would have been too much time on their hands.
So what does an obese person have in their refrigerator after all?
Oreos, Moon Pies, Twinkies, etc, do not need refridgeration. The fat people I know have nearly empty refridgerators but cabinets stuffed with packaged food.
A turbocharger recycles exhaust and therefore helps burn any particulates that are left over from the first time through. One thing that could be done to lessen the diesel emissions problem is adding turbochargers, tuned for different engine RPMs, instead of just the one that VW's TDI engines have currently. Of course this adds non-trivial cost. Volvo once built a demostrator engine with seven turbochargers that removed enough particulates through reburning to qualify for a zero emissions car. But it was too expensive for actual production.
Once again illustrating the stupidity of corporate income taxes. All taxes should be levied at the level of consumption by the end consumer. Not their income, not their employer's income, etc, etc.
Uh, that story you linked to is about the devs who implemented poorly; any database would have crappy performance. As I recall it wasn't Oracle's consulting branch that set up healthcare.gov but some third party. In all fairness how do you blame Oracle?
Tax them. Do more with less. Data centers are a drain on natural resources.
Tax collection should be moved to where it is the least drain on economic resources; the final end consumer. States should reorient their tax collection to final sales and fixed property instead of on income.
HAN: Yes, Greedo. As a matter of fact, I was just going to see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money.
The problem is that Han gives himself away with this contradictory statement. If he was headed to see Jabba with the money, he wouldn't need Greedo to pass a message.
Sounds more like as a part of re-compression, they are going to drop the bitrate (and video quality?) for videos that don't "need" it:
Is it the bitrate that's being changed? I took the part about Pony vs Avengers to mean animation vs live action are better compressed by completely different algorythms.
Medicare fraud has nothing to do with the NIH, and you know it.
I think this is incorrect. Given the political will to spend $X on DHHS programs, if some amount of waste or fraud were eliminated from one department it logically follows that other departments within that agency stand a decent chance to benefit from that savings. You may have noticed that agency budgets are almost never actually reduced? DHHS management would find other ways to spend the same money so NIH would indeed be a likely recipient of at least some savings from eliminating Medicare fraud more effectively.
Consider the name 'destroyer' what a wonderfully apt name for a piece of human technology that totally describes it purpose as a destroyer of humanity
The name is a shorthand for "torpedo boat destroyer" which was the original military purpose of this size ship, destroying torpedo boats. Not "destroyer of random people standing around minding their own business".
taxpayer's money is going to be endlessly squandered on weapon systems we will never use. The entire NIH budget is something like $35 billion
The NIH is but a minor agency of the DHHS whose entire budget is something like $1.2T so if you think they need even more you're complaining the wrong way. Meanwhile at least the government got a ship for its $4.4B in this case. Compared to the almost $20B pissed away in Medicare fraud that was detected last year, never mind how much went unnoticed.

Except they're ground attack missiles. Very poor targeting performance air-to-air.

When you have your hand out, do you spit at the guy who gives you five dollars instead of ten?
Maybe he's in D.C. There are some seriously aggressive panhandlers in that town.
12 feet sounds big enough that I wouldn't be swimming with it. Those things go toe to toe against sperm whales.
Backing up his computer at 1.2 Mb/tape?
Obviously you are not a theatre geek; "stage left", "stage right", "up stage" and "down stage" are terms designed to remove ambiguity.

84 in a 70
This is what I see people in California doing all day long every day.
The last time I visited California the people went 5 in a 70 for what seemed all day long.
That can never happen. You cannot automate pedestrians and cyclists.
Automated Segways!
It isn't subtly funny any more if you post a link to the video.

"It's not even paid for!!!"
The right to sublet is often standard in rental agreements
It's right there in the summary that the leases in question cannot be sublet: "a form of illegal subletting"
A car owner with a car loan is the wrong comparison. The proper comparison would be with a leased car.

There are no actual real statistics on Medicare fraud contrary to typical right wing lies
Medicare's own website provides numbers on both actual and detected Medicare fraud, as does both the IRS and DHHS.

the rod hit it might just put a small hole
You have a point about the ship maneuvering but you've completely underestimated the kinetic energy involved in a projectile that fell from orbit.
