The main difference is that a DVD/VHS/movie rental is a luxury good, not required for someone to stay alive.
Groceries, water, things like that, are quite a bit more important, and everyone should be able to purchase the things that they absolutely need in order to live.
Besides, no one is mandating what stores must sell, only that everyone is able to have access to whatever goods they do choose to sell.
It is kind of the opposite situation, though.
Windows comes on the majority of PCs, and it takes effort to switch to Linux, effort that most people don't want to bother with. So Linux numbers remain low
On the other hand, Edge is standard on most PCs, and it takes extra work to switch to Chrome or Firefox. Granted, it is easier than installing a new OS, but people are willing to put in the time and effort to get away from Edge, that's how bad it is.
If you are working inside a machine or cabinet, then yes, you'd power it down. Doing routine programming and maintenance in a robotic cell is different though. The robots typically have to be powered up in order to teach or operate them. So when you enter a live cell, you have a lockout mechanism on the safety gate. A properly locked out cell will not let the robots or other equipment in the cell operate in automatic mode, but they are still able to function manually when you allow them to. In this case, either she screwed up and failed to lock out, or someone else screwed up and let a robot in a different zone enter her locked out zone without a safety check.
1. Perspective is a funny thing. https://www.theatlantic.com/po... You can see that the tents were located just past the Smithsonian Castle, which is more like 2/3 of the way to the Washington Monument. https://www.google.com/maps/@3... You can also see in CNN's gigapixel http://www.cnn.com/interactive... that the section between the tents and the first row of green barriers is almost empty, and the section after that has very few people standing on the north side, matching very closely with photographs taken from behind. I'm not arguing numbers, but in this case at least, the evidence seems to match statements published elsewhere.
On the other hand, I play in a band because I enjoy doing it. It has never been about making money. It is a hobby that I find fun. I have no expectation of becoming rich, or even of making it into a full time job. Very few artists, writers, painters, whatever, should ever get rich from their hobby. Especially with so many creative people out there, there just isn't enough money in the market for everyone. If you enjoy doing something, do it for fun. If you happen to make some money, cool, but it should never be an expectation.
Disney, etc are only able to package all the channels together because the cable companies agree to it. If customers weren't willing to pay for their package deal, they'd have to sell individual channels or go out of business. But as long as enough people keep paying for crap they don't want to watch, the media companies are happy to keep bundling it.
No...it is the second quarter, EVER, in which Tesla reported a profit. They don't mean second "most" profitable, they mean the second with any profit at all.
I've never seen a drive-through that won't take credit cards. Unless their machines or network are down, but then they wouldn't be able to take cards inside, either.
Because one arrived at the conclusion, and the second tried to dispute it, but unknowingly arrived at the same result and never realized it. So the second 'lost' his argument, by the fact that he ended up arguing against his original point.
3.75 billion kwh/night * 365 nights = 1369 billion kwh/year, or almost exactly 1/3 of our yearly energy production of 4093 billion kwh.
One third of our energy budget going into automobiles is certainly a significant portion of yearly production, but not nearly as impossible as the above math made it sound.
Add solar and wind power, new generating stations, etc., plus not everyone will switch over to electric immediately.
Don't forget, though, each student has 5 or 6 professors to pay per semester. 5 * $625 = $3125 times two semesters is $6250. Add in your 25% overhead/utilities, which seems low, and its already up to $7812.
Then you have to have at least some administrative staff, unless you are going to do degree planning, financial collection, pay all the bills, and do everything for youself, plus IT, librarians, computers, etc. etc.
That $10k seems like a pretty reasonable value, actually.
Careful, 92 square miles and 92 miles square are somewhat different values. That's actually closer to 8,500 square miles required to power the USA. It is still less than 2% of Arizona's land area, but not quite as small of an endeavor.
Yes, but will a system from 2003 be as useful, even though the OS is still supported? Remember, you're talking about systems from the Pentium III era, 750MHz or less, with 512MB or less of RAM.
That's more like the mid-range system I had in 2000. Not a huge difference, but it would be 13 years old at this point. My computer from 2004 that I still use regularly is a P4 2.4 GHz, with 4 gigs of ram. It runs everything I need quite well, with the exception of some of the fanciest new games. Even those would run with reduced graphics if I had to play them on that tower.
Criteria 3 is a FAIL. Just because something may benefit a criminal is no reason to take it away from an innocent person. Cell phones, vehicles, even guns, take your pick. These things all benefit criminals more than innocent people*, and yet no one is calling for them to be taken away en masse. Even the gun lobby just wants to regulate guns, not take them away from every person.
* Take cars for example. Innocent person uses: drive places, haul things, etc. Criminal uses: drive places, haul things, etc, PLUS get away from crime scenes/police, run over enemies, hide drugs, etc. For every 'thing' that can be used by a normal person, a criminal has those same benefits, plus some additional crime-related uses.
I'm going to extrapolate that to relate to laws as well. Even if a right may aid a criminal in some cases, how do you justify taking that right away from innocent people?
That is in one location. The NOAA report is based on average land and ocean surfaces across the whole globe. There will certainly be high and low outliers in any specific place that you wish to look. The point was that overall, the planet has been above the previous average for quite a while.
That would PROVE it true. If the CO2 level is higher this year than in any year past, it is a record. Then if it is even higher the next year, it is again a record, and so on.... presumably every year, until we do something about it or it magically disappears somewhere.

Except for those plants in Missouri, and Kansas, and Kentucky, and Tennessee, and Alabama, and Texas, and Georgia, and Ohio, etc.

Exactly how us Americans feel about Brits' pluralizing of Math, into Maths :D

Except that wouldn't be rape. If she is demanding sex at gunpoint, she is raping you, if anything.

At -40 it doesn't matter. F and C are the same!

1200Mega Amps is 1,200,000,000,000 Amps
Close. 1200 Mega Amps is actually 1,200,000,000 Amps Please get your nomenclature right, because it makes a big difference.

Not to mention that for the majority of people, if their PC and/or internet aren't working correctly, chat support would be completely useless.
