So what if he did? I learned long ago to not worry about what other people do with their money. It also sounds like that would potentially be a business expense.
They actually only know your email and that your Adobe password was 'Adobe123'. That might indicate that you reuse that password pattern, but you might not.
Try again, dude. I know they are really pushing the iOS app, but at the bottom of the page is a sign in to the web site link. It does look like you need to set up an account and can't browse anonymously, so sorry AC.
The link about MINI is suggesting they might make available DIY trim upgrades. Not trim level of the car, but the physical trim in the cabin. Think cell phones with replacable colored backplates. Absolutely nothing like TFS suggests.
I can understand the concept of having unlockable/upgradable software. whether that is engine mapping programs or entertainment features. How can they possibly justify the additional cost of actual hardware for a car that may never activate it? Presumably with this business model, every car would have every single hardware feature on it which would add considerable cost to the base vehicle.
When certain sides of an issue are labelled 'deniers' (as opposed to 'believers' I suppose?) it tends to kill any debate. Using the term 'denier' is akin to telling people that they are just wrong for not believing them. It frames the issue as more of a religious issue (you believe or you don't) rather than a scientific issue. The term 'skeptic' would be better to use.
A little more on topic, I imagine that many people would falter in their belief of global warming in the face of record cold winter temps. I know that 'climate change' is the term now and not 'global warming', but many people got that original 'global warming' term stuck in their heads. Then if there's a cold winter they wonder how the hell there's any global warming.
Just get over it dude. People are going to make jokes. Often times those jokes will be in questionable or bad taste. Those jokes may offend you. Too bad. You have no right to control what other people say and your going to have a real hard time if everything you hear that you don't like bothers you so much.
You think those are the only two sides? CFLs will be thrown to the trash heap of history. LED bulbs have just about surpassed them in every way possible now. The GP is most likely correct that "the human race will look back at CFLs and say WHAT were we THINKING?". They will also most likely think the same about incandescent bulbs.
There's another common denominator in the construction or remodeling process. Occasionally a competent electrician is used, one who understands load calcs, amp draw, and wire sizing. Many more times than you would want to know about, you get the other kind of electrician.
Apprentices training on the public, contractors who have perennial negative cash flow problems, and workers right in the middle of not giving a damn.
the issue Vanderhoth mentions is way beyond a matter of competency. It was extremely unethical and possibly criminal endangerment. The exposed junction boxes were rigged up with hidden junctions (which are not up to code) in an attempt to hide all traces of Aluminum wiring, while still having the entire house wired with Aluminum. The Aluminum wiring is not a problem per se, but any junction with copper wires (like in those hidden junction boxes) can cause galvanic corrosion. The fact that the copper wires just came loose here shows that improper connections were made. Aluminum wire connections have been implicated in fires and hazard insurance will either not cover a home with aluminum wiring or the rates will be higher. If there was a fire, his insurer would probably try to not pay any claims because the wiring was misrepresented to them.
The real issue is whether an electrician follows the building code or not. The building code specs out basic things like gauge of wire for circuit breaker size, number of outlets, types of connections, etc. If an electrician follows the code, they will never have to really do any calculations to ensure proper wiring is done.
Have you read the comments on Yahoo articles? Even things that are marginally political or not political at all have random comments from people espousing conservative talking points. I don't know if Yahoo ever intended to become a conservative web portal, but that audience has found them. Yahoo has chosen to embrace them and design their content around their audience.
It does mean that private land owners can put up giant ads, let's call them billboards, all along the roads*. Likewise private server owners have the right to put ads on pages that they serve out to browsers that make requests.
However, I have also played computer games in 3D. The difference between a game and a movie is that the movie chooses specific things to show you in 3D. In a game, they simply render EVERYTHING from 2 viewpoints and transmit that to each eye.
This is how Hollywood is doing 3D Movies in postproduction. If it was shot with a 3D camera (one with two viewpoints), everything would be in 3D.
I think the bigger issue is that in a 3D movie the depth of field is not always infinite. There are many shots where the person talking is in focus while things in the foreground and background are blurry. Even if you try to focus on the background, which appears to be a different focal plane, the background will remain blurry and it breaks the illusion.
Since you want to be so strict about what the AC originally posted, he also titled his comment "California Gold Rush". I find it hard to believe you know 3 people that were involved in the California Gold Rush, and even harder to believe that they mined bitcoins during it.
Not in the USA, but I think any NSA employee travelling to the EU should be arrested on the spot.
For what? Your response to all of this spying and monitoring nonsense is to eliminate legal process and just start rounding up people, is that really any better?
I think I've seen similar issues. I generally have no reception problems, but on occasion, a channel will have flake reception, but the commercials all seem fine. I don't have any data recorded to back this claim. It is just something I've noticed. Perhaps the commercials are broadcast in a way to be less susceptible to signal loss?
I think frovingslosh adequately answered your questions, but don't forget that broadcast TV has daytime programming. I don't watch soaps, but last I remember "Days of Our Lives", "General Hospital", etc. are definitely serials.

very cool. Kia has been really trying to move upscale recently. I think the Korean auto makers are tired of not getting enough respect.

There are heated steering wheels. Generally only on high end cars, but they do exist.

I hadn't left the house for school yet in Alaska. Watched it on TV and then went to catch the bus.

A robot can look like anything at all. It doesn't have to look like a human. An android is a robot that looks like a human.
Indeed.

That's assuming the photoshopping didn't destroy any real data. (And that the picture was taken with perfect focus)
I'm well below normal about how much I care about cars and TVs.
Funny enough, knowledge of cars and working on them has traditionally been referred to as being a gearhead.
What is your point?

Wordpress runs far more websites than Drupal. Drupal sites probably have more useful content though.
I'd really like to know why you think "an coder" is okay. "an hero" is also not okay.
