Personally I would like to see using a satellite navigation system on a truck/lorry/HGV that is not designed for such purposes as an offence that will attract points on the license of the driver.
Then when they go down some inappropriate road and get stuck it is an automatic fine.
My personal favourite of stupid truck/HGV drivers is this incident in York (that's the historic city of York in England nothing to do with the interloper New York)
Good job the highest point in Guam is 407m above sea level and the highest point in the Northern Mariana islands is 965m above sea level, and that is before we build any structures to hold the antenna.
What happens when due to a lack of testing your cheap OCP hardware has a design flaw and 10,000 servers all fail in a month?
That is the criticism I think, that there is too little testing in OCP designs to make sure critical design flaws don't exist. No amount of fault tolerant software design is going to save you from mass hardware failures.
That's called the Dell Optiplex line. The cases are all pretty much tool free, the models are available for over a year (18 months rings a bell) really cutting down on the number of images you need.
Even simple things like grabbing all the service tags and feeding them into the Dell website to see which ones are coming up on warranty expiry this month so you can go round and check nothing needs replacing is nailed to the ground.
You really have to separate the Dell consumer and business lines, they are like chalk and cheese.
Strictly speaking English grammar rules (I see you refer to Webster and I have no idea what American grammar rules are but you used English) state that if it begins with a vowel it should be "an" and if it begins with a consonant it should be "a". Last time I checked U was a vowel so strictly speaking it should be an.
All that aside I will admit that an USB sounds odd, but it's correct English grammar as taught to me at my school in England when growing up.
Problem for Russia is that low debt ratio came about purely on high oil and gas prices. Those have evaporated leaving a black hole in the countries finances and no way to plug it other than borrowing, which is hard because their credit rating is now literally junk or cuts aka austerity.
So while they may have a lower debt to GDP ratio than Germany they are in recession and no clear way to plug the hole other than a rise in oil and gas prices which looks increasingly unlikely.
And why does the rest of the world have an obligation to help them? They don't and right now those who have been trying to help them over the past five years have basically given up, and are likely to wash their hands of the whole situation.
It is amazing how many deluded people think the slave trade involved ships sailing up to the coast of Africa and grabbing people before sailing over the Atlantic. It was called the slave TRADE for a reason people. The ships sailed into ports in Africa where they purchased slaves from Africans.
Just exactly where is Russia going to get the cash to prop up Greece? Due to the global slump in oil prices Russia is struggling just to keep afloat itself. It certainly does not have cash to throw at Greece even if it wanted to.
Yeah and using partitions is bonkers as well. LVM is the way to go for anything that does not involve huge (we are talking 100's of TB upwards) clustered file systems.
You make it sound like Al Qaeda and Islamic State are the only terrorist organizations in existence. Sure Iran does not sponsor Islamic State, but there are definite links between Iran and Al Qaeda.
However Islamic State is not responsible for the majority of the worlds terrorism of the past 40 years, not even close. That would fall to the likes Hamas, Hezbollah, and in the past the PLO, all of which have received state sponsorship from Iran.
I and many others don't think Iran's pursuit of nuclear technology has anything to do with power generation, and that is the problem. There are far more cost effective options for Iran than nuclear power plants if what they want is electrical power generation.
Then why did they enrich uranium to 20%? That is way more than you require for nuclear fuel. Yes it is required for making certain medical isotopes (mostly Tc-99m), but guess what the number of facilities for making these medical isotopes in the *ENTIRE* world can be counted on your hands. Further more they are looking to shift production to either low enriched unranium or directly from the bombardment of Tc-100 with protons from an accelerator. There are also programs to switch production of other medical isotopes from reactor based methods.
So why did Iran really enrich uranium beyond the 5% needed for nuclear fuel in a reactor. The *ONLY* reasonable explanation is that they wanted to
Add in a backdrop of Russia offering to sell Iran fuel rods at or below cost and take them back for reprocessing why even bother going to the hassle of enriching the fuel?
Problem is if it is not a currency they can print then they have really serious problems in terms of cash flow for the government to pay things like salaries. In short they have no money now and nobody is willing to lend them more, so it's either cut spending or print more cash. If it's not your own currency you can't print it.
Of course if you are in the situation of needing to print cash then you are in a very bad place anyway, and both printing cash or cutting spending are equally as bad choices. Best thing is to not get yourself in that situation in the first place. Problem is the Greek's are as a society collectively unable to accept that nobody owes them a free lunch.
Do you wish to point me to some reference that shows the Spanish government was fiscally irresponsible prior to the global financial crisis in 2008 please?
Perhaps before you start tarring everyone from southern Europe with the same brush you might want to get your facts straight. Oh and I am from northern Europe and outside the Euro for the record.
Looking a raw statistics one might argue that lack of a "don't jaywalk" rule has lead to increased safety of pedestrians in the UK compared to the USA.
In reality it has probably more to do with stricter driving tests, structurally safer roads; I am primarily referring to far fewer intersections and far more roundabouts, and on average smaller cars than the USA. However I imagine road safety as taught to children probably plays a part as well.
No it was founded on the principle that they objected to paying taxes to contribute towards the defence of the 13 colonies. They felt that this was unfair and Great Britain should pay for the defence of the 13 colonies themselves. The traitors where the biggest bunch of free loaders going.
Unable to win the treasonous rebellion on their own they managed to hoodwink the French king to supply money, arms and soldiers etc. on the basis of your enemies friend is your friend. The "assistance" thus given to the traitors bankrupted the French nation and led to the beheading of said king.
So if you ever feel the USA does XYZ that you don't like the real people to blame are the French for meddling in other peoples affairs in the first place and allowing the USA to come into existence.
I think you will find the cosmetics firm has been around far longer than 10 years, a quick Google tells me that the Lush cosmetics brand has been in existence since 1995, and the company itself has an even longer history being a major supplier to the Body Shop before it took production in house.
Granted if you where not living in the UK 20 years ago you might not be aware...
Thing is roundabouts are not just a little bit safer than a crossroads/intersection they are massively saferm we are talking 90% reduction in fatal accidents by converting an intersection to a roundabout, 40% reduction in pedestrian collision and a 37% reduction in collisions overall.
Depends what you target for identification is. That is if you are looking for something that will give you reasonable grounds to get a search warrant, bring someone in for questioning etc. then it does not need to be perfect.
More likely USA based Apple lawyers finally got around too consulting with their European counterparts and discovered that what the opting in without written confirmation that they where proposing to do was flat out illegal over here.
Hum nobody read the judgement. It is unlawful because E.U. law requires a compensation scheme to be introduced if the private exception to copying will cause "harm" to the claimants. The judges accepted the Secretary of States argument that everyone is doing it, they expect to be able to do it and the claimants by not pursuing claims against them have tacitly accepted this position.
However the Judges have ruled that the evidence the Secretary of State has relied upon to show that the "harm" to the claimants from the exception was sufficiently small that they there was no requirement to introduce a compensation scheme was inadequate to meet the requirements of E.U. law, and as such the law breaks E.U. law.
The Secretary of State now has three options. Firstly appeal the decision on the basis that they have sufficient evidence the harm to the claimants is sufficiently small. They will almost certainly do this to begin with. There is appeals, supreme and the EU court to go through at this stage.
Option two is get a change to E.U. law on this matter. Probably easier than imagined because all E.U. states must have the same issue, and it would help the U.K. government to make the claim to stay within the E.U., on the look we can get it to change.
The third and nuclear option which is open to the U.K. is just to push the law back through Parliament and including wording that this piece of legislation overrides everything passed before it. This would due to the way the U.K. constitution works means that the law would now override all E.U. law, and the basis on which the appeal was successful at this stage would be irrelevant. Given the current U.K. governments stance on the E.U. it is not beyond the bounds of possibility if option one and two fail.
