I'm not arguing that either punishment is appropriate or not, but the constant inclusions of genital mutilation prior to death makes me feel like you are obsessed with the genitals of deviants.
You'd come across much more sane if you were for the castration or hanging of said people, rather than both. As it is, you come across as someone that wants to torture people to get your own rocks off.
Probably, but if it drives itself 100% in compliance with the rules you're a lot less likely to get pulled over initially (legality aside).
Checkpoints are not where most DUIs come from (and are really more about running a quick flashlight search on every car that goes through for other violations, as my Governor bragged about.
I hope this forces the more popular toolkits to add network transparency.
The pieces are there I suspect, I've seen some pretty impressive things done with GTK back-ends (one that makes it a character interface for consoles (a side project never part of the main), and another that makes it a browser app and network transparent (more like a single Window VNC).
There's also a QT one (I think) that uses a console frame-buffer rather than X.
The toolkit should be in a better place to do the transparency efficiently too.
I won't necessarily blame the car, but perhaps the douches that drive them, but the early to mid 2000s bmws broke down new more than any other car my friends/colleagues had.
side of the road style breakdowns too.
they were also the most attractive, fun to drive and ride in cars of the bunch. And had some of the best interiors, I'm not trying to hate, but anecdotally they had a bad run, can't speak to now though.
Yeah, basically they said is was the shitty working conditions, not the shitty pay (waking people up from their sleep, giving them coffee, and throwing them on 12 hour shifts).
If Obama wins, I doubt it will get repealed for a while.
Any bill repealing will get vetoed, and I actually suspect that in 4 years this bill will be looked favorably upon (not commenting on whether I think it's constitutional or right, just saying that I think people will like it).
The fact that rates can only be determined by zip code will be a huge boon to small business and independent people. I suspect decreased disincentive to become a small entrepreneur, and increased competitiveness of small business (now paying the same as big business for healthcare) are going to be a major boost to the economy.
You honestly think a lack of individual mandate on car insurance wouldn't lead to things being worse in that regard?
There are always criminals, but the $2500 ticket in my area (over 2 years of minimum coverage), combined with the fact that you need insurance to have a car tagged to drive keeps the numbers pretty damned low.
With tests for risk coming about, it destroys the effectiveness of insurance. The individual mandate is a requirement due to technology (along with the flattening of rates across people).
Without it, either:
1) insurance companies are allowed to look at an individuals risk, leading to people being excluded, and weakening the whole risk spreading idea of insurance for certain predictable diseases.
2) insurance companies cannot run said tests, putting the power in the hands of the people to test themselves, and high-risk individuals to dis-proportionally get insurance. This will drive up rates for everyone, leading to a feedback loop.
I'm pretty sure that I read at least in x86 MS will force vendors to allow secure-boot to be turned off (but then not boot Windows? killing dual boot?).
I don't mind secure boot, I do wish that they would let me install my own keys, protected with a physical switch on the MB, so that i could sign whatever I wanted, and have the protection offered by secure boot.
Actually, I think Google should make advertising a separate permission.
It should have all the permissions required for advertising (network traffic to ad servers, loose demographic info, loose location), but not give any of it to the app maker, it should be black-box for them.
This allows me to download an ad supported app, knowing that it will not send my private information (or any) back to the vendor, that I trust less than google.
The generic "network access" permission is too strong IMO, and I don't install many add supported apps for that reason.
To get good (choosing the word good, not decent intentionally, I will call at least some of the supported cards decent in the FOSS version) performance, and hardware decoding (this is not the open driver's fault, but lack of documentation), I use the closed driver for my AMD card. AMD still has to maintain their closed one, and give out the info, and if I'm not mistaken additionally helps on the open version. The open community appears to not be able to make full-speed full-featured video drivers, therefore the companies do not get a time/cost savings throwing it to the community.
Also, I wish Intel's integrated graphics were better, they appear to be the only company that really does FOSS drivers right (gma 500 excluded), especially like their vaapi being for encoding too.
I agree with your statement, but what Apple did was bet big. I actually think this is one of their strengths as a company in recent years.
They bet big, lock in contracts, and sell for less than anyone else can, a high-end product. The cost of failure is too high for most companies to stomach, so they don't even try to do it right.
I think that after the success of the iPhone (Which I don't think was more than 6-12 months out from a different company when you look at what Nokia was doing at the time) the iPad was inevitable. The other companies would have waited until around now to release such a device though, to keep costs down and risks low. Apple bet big, and won. They did similar with the iPod nano, buying something like 50% of Samsung's flash production for a year. When the iPod nano dropped, it was very very price competitive with other players on the market, and had a arguable better screen and navigation system.
Right now, with heavy use (ie text/web, white backgrounds OLED, HTC one S)
screen 61% standby 11% wifi:7% maps:6% OS: 6%
I'm at 71% left on 2.5 hours since unplug. My standby times easily break 24 hours. I'm in an area with terrible reception, which typically increases the standby part significantly.
Unless I use the phone essentially none, my screen is well over 40%, and I've had it well past 80%.
the first thing that starts to use CPU is 6% usage. of my over-all usage 21% is applications/OS, the phone would still be a carry around a charger to get through a heavy usage day either way. Even if it doubles, it'd still be only 2/3's of my screen.
Yeah, but that's generally dominated by screen (though I guess the fact that I use the web a good bit, and my last two high-end phones were OLED could be to blame).
even if the CPU used 0 power, I would gain very little.
I've had a G1, Nexus1, Comet (it was temporary), and HTC One S for context.

I like the way you think.
I can only date people young enough to have kids in 7 years in case I wanna have kids.
Why the need for torture prior to death?
I'm not arguing that either punishment is appropriate or not, but the constant inclusions of genital mutilation prior to death makes me feel like you are obsessed with the genitals of deviants.
You'd come across much more sane if you were for the castration or hanging of said people, rather than both. As it is, you come across as someone that wants to torture people to get your own rocks off.
Facebook chat is not a public place anymore than e-mail, phone-calls, or IM services.
Probably, but if it drives itself 100% in compliance with the rules you're a lot less likely to get pulled over initially (legality aside).
Checkpoints are not where most DUIs come from (and are really more about running a quick flashlight search on every car that goes through for other violations, as my Governor bragged about.
I'd say the biggest plus is the freedom to go to a bar as a suburbanite.
Actively aggressive too, cute.

I always use the break pedal lock models myself.

But you can't even do a wheely
I hope you get a ticket for clogging the passing lane.
not because I'm a speeder, but because you're obviously a passive aggressive douche.
A lot of expensive sickness is predictable with tests, and getting moreso every day.
It increase the already existing problem you describe, and makes it worse every year.
The tests allow healthy people a better chance of knowing they'll stay healthy, causing less of them to join.
Yeah, basically they said is was the shitty working conditions, not the shitty pay (waking people up from their sleep, giving them coffee, and throwing them on 12 hour shifts).

Are you serious?

Your last sentence is a fair point though.
This is good.

Technology pretty much requires the new law.
I remember kernel upgrades requiring updating Lilo also.
Of course, that's all automated now (the Debian make a kernel a deb thingy), that i doubt the accidental death is not so likely anymore.
I'm pretty sure that I read at least in x86 MS will force vendors to allow secure-boot to be turned off (but then not boot Windows? killing dual boot?).

Or maybe I am, it's been a year since I used it. The video decode is a major feature for me though on my e-350.
I've not tried games for a awhile, as I've lately been playing Jamestown in all it's 2d glory.
How's that worked for ATI/AMD?
To get good (choosing the word good, not decent intentionally, I will call at least some of the supported cards decent in the FOSS version) performance, and hardware decoding (this is not the open driver's fault, but lack of documentation), I use the closed driver for my AMD card.

If you want battery life, go for a blackberry.
I like good internet, but based on browsing battery usage, Apple appears to have locked the good screen thing down tight.
