Probably. But this thing is a prototype. The infrastructure for supplying Hydrogen to airports will not be in place until such a plane is commercialised.
but you can get much higher quality than that old CD had anyway.
You can, but not at iTunes. I'm guessing you are referring to "Mastered for iTunes" files. These are the same 256kbps AAC files that iTunes has always sold, but submitted to Apple after running some tools that show the sound engineer how much distortion is going to occur in the conversion to AAC, so they can adjust the mix to compensate.
The issue is when there are exploitable bugs found and the device cannot/won't be updated.
And how do you predict when that would be?
Does it help at all when I design my embedded device self destruct on 14 May 2019, if the next Heartbleed type bug affecting it is found tomorrow?
Are my customers going to come back and buy from me again if it is still rock solid with no known bugs on the day I choose for it to expire, and word quickly gets around that everyone's device was preprogrammed to die on that day?
Pesticides need to come with graphic images of deformed bee larvae covering at least 50% of the packaging. And we need to ban pesticide company sponsorship from gardening events (except lawnmower races, they can go a few more years before we ban it from there).
What I'm saying is that the incompetence that is being blamed on the authorities is in a lot of cases actually coming from the media itself repeating second hand information from unreliable sources. Probably the most incompetence on the part of the investigation team is not refuting these media reports quickly enough.
Does anyone have the actual origin of that quote? My recollection is that it came from a UK tabloid, based on a translation of a Chinese news story of a briefing given to family members without press present. Later it was repeated by Malaysian politicians, but not by the Prime Minister or Minister of Transport AFAICT.
They have hi-speed rail because it's very heavily subsidized. The same is true of France's famed TGV. As much as I like hi-speed rail, I think there is a limit to how heavily subsidized it should be.
The right level is probably about the level at which freeways are subsidized. Rail detractors keep conveniently forgetting that roads are also heavily subsidized.
A developer at Opera Software also pointed out that a significant number of server administrators botched their response, going from safe to vulnerable.
I'm guessing a lot of these are going to be people running older stable distributions that were running versions of OpenSSL from before the bug was introduced. On hearing the news, they may have quickly looked to see if there was an upgrade, seen that there was not, and either installed a newer rpm/deb they found somewhere, or downloaded the latest source they could find (in a source repository for their distro perhaps) and built from source. Meanwhile the patch for the bug had only just been checked into git.
Having seen this patent, now professional photographers will now be rushing out to order off-camera flashes from Amazon so they can reproduce the technique. I'd better get in quick and patent my idea of an umbrella like unfolding curved reflector for those flashes to increase the amount of light they throw onto the background, before Amazon gets in first.
Also, if they dropped the Japanese channel, they would lose their Japanese customers entirely, not just the revenue from that premium package. To get the premium package, you first have to sign up to basic service. Then once you have the basic service and premium package with the Japanese channel, the salesman is going to talk you into getting the Sports package, because you can still follow along even if you don't understand the commentary. And why don't you throw in HD service, it's not much more. And you'll be wanting recording, because a lot of the programmes you want to watch on the Japanese channel are going to be in the middle of the night, or during the day when you're at work. But what if you forget to set the recorder? Well, if you subscribe to the internet through us, we'll also throw in on-demand downloads for just a few dollars more. Actually, I have a bundle here that has everything I just listed, plus a ton more for only 20% more than that would cost you, saving you a $50 over what you would pay if you bought them separately. You didn't understand any of that? SAVE. $50. THIS ONE. SIGN PLEASE.
Or they are buying from another middleman that is bundling the channels for whatever reason (possibly to do with inflating the viewership numbers reported upstream).
(instead of a criminal background check, which does't seem relevant).
They could just have an option in the app: I want my driver to be: 1: a rapist; 2: a murderer; 3: prone to violent outbursts but hasn't killed anyone yet that we know of
but it is likely the demands the Directorate will place on Uber drivers, such as mandatory criminal record checks, vehicle inspections and insurance, will make the service in Melbourne unviable.
Those aren't unreasonable demands of someone wanting to carry passengers for hire. They are checks that pretty much the entire Western world has come up with after numerous problems with unsafe, uninsured and unsavoury taxi drivers. If this is enough to make Uber unviable, then I wouldn't want to be one of their investors.
Its even more obvious that a-la-carte will not necessarily be cheaper when you look at packages with foreign language channels. I don't think the viewership patterns are any different for other packages, just not so glaringly obvious.
My wife is Japanese. Our pay TV provider carries one Japanese language channel (NHK World Premium). It is bundled in a premium package with about a dozen Chinese channels (a mixture of Cantonese and Mandarin). Neither of us speaks any Chinese dialect, so it is just the one channel from that package we want. But the market for native Japanese speakers in this country is tiny (maybe a couple of thousand households at most). The market for Chinese speakers is huge (probably around 5 million households). By packaging the channels and amortizing the cost across all the Chinese speakers, we are probably getting a much better rate than we would otherwise (the Japanese channel would probably not attract enough subscribers to be worth carrying if the few subscribers had to pay the full cost of carrying the channel). The difference to the Chinese speakers of subsidizing the Japanese channel is maybe a 5% increase in their monthly bill for the package, not enough to get them upset, especially if they only speak one of Mandarin or Cantonese, making the Japanese channel no different than half of the other channels in the package.
My favorite incident of what I call "security by handwaving" was my bank changing the wording on their site from password to passphrase, but they rejected the space character and limited the "passphrase" to 16 characters.
This. If you set the minimum H1B wage at 120% of the average wage in that area for that type of work and experience, then we can have confidence that the purpose of H1B is to fill skill shortages. By allowing them to be employed for less than the going rate of a local, employers are just encouraged to find loopholes to enable them to employ lower wage workers. And by not tying them to a specific job, you remove the ability of employers to find other ways to abuse the system (such as paying them 120% of the average wage to work 150% of the average hours) since the employee can always go elsewhere.
As for spouses working - if someone is good enough to import for their labour skills, at least have the decency to treat them and their family like you would anyone else. If you think this will have an adverse impact on the local labor market, then you probably shouldn't be letting them in in the first place.
For kicks, enter;DROP TABLE *; on the end of one of your input fields, and discover why you shouldn't attempt something like this in public without CRUD layers and web frameworks.
Redirects won't work at all. The static access URL is the one that users are entering into the search box (because the browser hides the URL box, or puts them alongside each other and the user doesn't really know which is which), and is the one that falls into advertisers' hands. Any redirects that happen after the static URL are going to happen whether the user is the legitimate user, or someone else who got that static URL from a log file.
Agree - this is a Google problem, not a Dropbox problem. Google should not start indexing data deep within a site just because a user once tried to search for a URL.
Yes, it's different for other manufacturers. Steps 1 and 3 are eliminated by wireless keys - just leave it in your pocket or bag, no more keys locked in the car. Step 2 is taken care of by the ECU - if the engine needs longer to start for whatever reason, it gets longer.
You should get in the habit of locking your car. It's a lot easier to dig through your pocket when you're standing there wondering why your car hasn't unlocked than when you're sitting in the driver's seat.
In Nissans and Toyotas with push button ignition, hold down the brake and press the button to crank. IIRC, it keeps cranking while you're holding down the button,
My Toyota cranks just long enough to start the engine, whether you hold the button down or not. I guess if you're used to manually cranking using a key, you're going to hold the button for about the right amount of time anyway, and it might seem like the car is cranking according to how long you are holding it down.

Judging by his sig, he practically has cancelled the wife.

In that case, the answer is to trick the smaller car into swerving into the heavier car, or vice-versa, leaving space for your car to squeeze past.
