It is also why this is called "rocket science", where literally every rocket launch is an experiment to see if the current configuration is going to work or not.
In this case it didn't.
I'm pretty sure they test the crap out of these so that when they actually go to launch it they can be fairly confident the configuration is going to work before they fill it with a metric fuckton of explosive fuels and millions+ dollars of equipment. Do you think when the lit the match one guy looked at the next and said "so do you think it'll work?"
The top 10 reasons Fox news blamed for the failure:
10: The atheists and their heathen agenda
09: It was Obama's fault
08: Punishment for letting the gays get married
07: It was Obama's fault
06: Science for meddling in god's domain
05: It was Obama's fault
04: Legalizing weed
03: It was Obama's fault
02: Trying to take our guns away
01: finally, Obama's fault
Was assuming a smaller passenger load. Then I read the article and looked up the plane type. 777-300ER, depending on configuration could have a 3 class load of 350 pax. No telling how full it was, assume 85%. Planes run pretty full these days. So doing some math...
Oh fuck it. Who the hell cares. I am so sick of you fucking nit-picking slashdot morons. The point is a fine proportional to the impact on the airline and passengers would make the fucktard think twice about doing it again. $100K, $500K. Either would do.
The fine should be given to whatever dickhead decided an obviously shady network name was enough grounds to delay a flight for several hours. You know, when you idiots run scared from every little boo the terrorists have won. Once you introduced TSA they had you on the backfoot and now this. America is shitting it's pants while the rest of the world looks on in disbelief and the actual terrorists are pissing themselves laughing.
Disagree with personal views that are neither testable nor impacting your rights to your own views in any way.
If you don't like their beliefs you can either ignore them or be an intolerant bigot.
The bibles creation timeline is very much testable and has zero evidence or even suggestion of it other than itself. And it's either ignore or your a bigot? You obviously didn't ignore that guys non-testable non-impacting opinion so that makes you an intolerable bigot? Am I an intolerant bigot for not ignoring your stupid post?
The only reason I considered using Bing was for the rewards, but they don't offer it in the UK so fuck them. Plus that twat from the bing it on ads really needs punching.
It is indirectly relative the the income of others.
The more money people make, the higher the cost of living.
The more your supermarket workers and retails workers get paid, the higher the cost of the goods those companies sell to cover their expenses.
So pay your workers fuck all so you can sell your goods cheap to the fuckers with money? Great logic.
God forbid if you have to be the IT grunt that has to explain data loss from a document that wasn't saved prior to them going home.
That's a pretty easy explanation. 'You lost your work because you didn't save it before going home, you idiot. Even if the machines don't get auto restarted expect them to crash at any instant and save often'
I kind of have a hard time feeling sorry for people who bought BF4, the pattern was there clear as day. Caveat Emptor as they say.
Hey, when it works bf4 is completely awesome and brilliant. It's just a shame it only works about 10% of the time. But they consider the game fixed enough to add in customisation on parachutes yet the 'kin game never saves your loadouts (at least it don't on the xbone):|
Reinforcing an already existing ban was to make sure foreign markets don't try to muscle in and sell direct.
What happened to the American mantra of competition is good? capitalism forever and all that. Or is it now we can compete against you but you can't compete against us?
The only thing responsible for a "lack of women coders" is that fewer women than men are interested in software development as a career path. So what? I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why this is a problem, why this is something to be concerned about, or why millions of dollars are being thrown around in an attempt to change the situation.
ummmm,errrrrr, well, you see, because....equality? Yeah that's it.
As a quick stats update, to date Microsoft has received over 250,000 pieces of feedback through the Windows Feedback tool, 25,381 community forum posts, and 641 suggestions in the Windows Suggestion Box.
And like and good corp they will ignore every single one and do whatever the fuck they want anyway.
The article is not saying that nerds are not welcoming women. But.. there are some really bad examples of women in technology being treated really badly. Look at some of the latest gaming activism against female game journalists. If you really want to look behind the surface on what happened, it is thoroughly disgusting.
I think that's more to do with the fact the main pusher of that doesn't know shit about games and is talking out of her arse and any gamer can see it. But because her videos have some half decent production values and lots of big words everyone else eats it up. And we are all accused of sexism when we try and point it out. Yes there are some bad apples helping to prove their 'point' but that is true of everything.
Yes, it is an insignificant figure considering they said they would get $184 million. Do the math, that's less than a quarter of what they said they would get (21.7% to be exact).
But thank you for playing and proving my point of people's hypocrisy when it comes to something they don't like (red light cameras) and things they do like (legalizing marijuana).
When something you don't like doesn't meet its expectation it's a complete and utter failure. When something you do like doesn't meet it's expectation it still got something.
Look again and you'll see I never said a word about speed cameras, just that $40 million is a shit load of cash in anyone's book, or at least it should be.
Colorado made a big deal of how much money they would take in by legalizing marijuana. They, the state, predicted they would take in $184 million in the first year and now it looks like they'll be lucky to hit $40 million.
Wow only $40 million? What an insignificant figure....

You forgot to blame Obama.
Bold, confident one-liners to get that quick +5 but not actually knowing what one is talking about.
You mean I wasn't getting +5 because I was awesome?!
Nope, only because you think you are ;)

The image in TFA shows a phone seeing the network as an AP. Chances are someone with a phone set up AP mode (fairly standard on Android devices).
That was my first thought. I know when I'm running my phone as a hot-spot, I have the SSID set to "FBI Surveillance Van 42".
Mine is simply 'Virus.net'. Best I've ever seen though is 'It burns when IP'
Years back, 1.5Mbps service was a holy grail, now it's a backwater benchmark. What happened?
Streaming internet video happened.

I'm all for it if it comes with a free bucket of tomatoes for the spectators.
Ah yes, there is that famed tolerance of those that disagree.
Yes, I'd much rather a tomato to the face than being burned alive or beheaded or any of the other nasties religion do to those who disagree.
These people should be arrested, at gun point, and put in prison.
Why at gun point?

Made by dice. EA are publishers and don't make shit apart from trumped up claims.
Ditto, warned people away, even bought my friend cs:go after I initially had him buy BF4, so we could still play together
You evil, evil bastard.

The government's just hungary for money.
They'd better Czech how much they can make.
