It's late and I'm sleepy but I'm having trouble understanding why a traffic controller would care about a drift of 20 seconds per year in time. It's not like the 5 second yellow is gonna be different than it was before by enough to matter.
Actually for me, the sole benefit of hybrid drive is when I pull up to a filling station halfway to Yellowstone and fill up in 4 minutes. Day to day on my 1.7 mile commute it can just come along for the ride.
Yes, and exotic sports cars. Just because you can't afford something doesn't mean the private sector is bad at producing it. The discussion about what a human deserves or is entitled to in a just society is a different discussion.
My drive to the office is about 10 miles a week, everyplace I routinely go is within 5 miles or less, with the exception of 1-3 trips to the coast or road trips out of State. If I had a Volt, the vast majority of my driving on a per trip basis would be pure electric. So the 40 mile range is not an issue for me that a 200 mile range would not be, since I either drive 5 miles or 500 miles the majority of the time. The catch is two-fold for me.
First I looked at a Volt and the build quality appears to be what I've come to expect from GM; it was sloppy looking inside and out.
Second, it would save me gas money but let's face it, my fuel budget is microscopic. I don't really care about that. Maybe the new Benz Hybrid Diesel E class will suit my fancy better, at least it will be a really nice car.
There is a whole lot of variation you could get from the same two parents. Each parent contributes 23 chromosomes, and which chromosome gets contributed is random.
Sort of, but the arbitrary "chromosome borders" we have put up are not respected, so in fact the number of permutations is a lot higher than what the number of chromosomes would suggest.
Simple. They claim that mutations are always harmful to the organism and it's descendants.
Actually I know quite a few creationists and none of them outright deny that evolution happens, rather they do not believe that the variety of plants and animals we see around us now came into existence via the process of evolution.
I don't think creationists deny evolution per se, it's the origin of new kinds of plants and animals via evolution that is denied, or more specifically, that the variety of plants and animals we see around us now came into existence solely via evolution in the past.
Except that it's almost completely different from a laser beam/pedantic
A laser is phase-coherent, with all that implies, whereas this is a very intense spot of sunlight.
There is no such thing as lossless, but a lot of "Audiophiles" say stuff like this while shopping for exotic cables and other snake oil, because it makes them feel better.
Any time you sample or record a performance, there is loss - one just decides where and how much, that is all.
Autorotation is the aviation term for the technique one should use in case a helicopter suffers an engine outage. It's the rotary wing equivalent of a glide.
.... The placement of red light cameras suggest that their purpose is to make money. They are put in places where there is a high probability of catching you doing something ticketable.
The red light camera companies are in it to make money off you.....
I would tend to agree, and so does the article: "the commission estimates that the program costs between $4 million and $5 million each year while bringing in only about $3.5 million annually."
So essentially, they were running at a loss and have to be shut down, because not enough people continued to run red lights.
Interesting but in todays world I'm not sure 8GB is what I'd call a "monster" but a dual Xeon is certainly respectable, not trying to ah... minimize your, um.... epeen there.;)
No disrespect intended, just saying, 12-24 GB machines are pretty common now, 8GB and 4 cores, even four VERY GOOD cores, is certainly decent, even excellent, depending on the other hardware around it, but not what I'd call a monster. Probably have to agree to disagree. Peace, have a good one.
The new ToS are about removing apps that use information that was not publicly available already. The data published by the police is still fine to use. Of course, the troll summary leaves that out to try to paint Apple in as poor a light as possible, but this is slashdot.
So just to be clear, since it appears ALL checkpoints have to be published publicly, therefore NO apps are to be banned?
I recently had to agree (if I wanted to continue to use) an Apple iStore terms of agreement that was 62 pages long on the Iphone I was adding an app to. I had to click that I had, in fact, read the agreement before I could continue.
Apple knows the device. They know it's got a 3.5" screen and that their contract runs 62 pages on it.
This sort of thing should absolutely be illegal.
What if I never share my credentials but I log him in and we leave the session active... forever?
This coming from Tennessee is just asking for hillbilly jokes.
I played WoW casually from the start until just pre-cataclysm, and I'm playing Rift now. Rift takes that WoW level of polish and bug-freeness, adds much better eye candy and adds some other nice touches as well. If you like WoW you will probably love Rift.
My experience is of course just anecdotal, however after spending the Memorial day weekend visiting family I saw a group of about 12 people and there was ALWAYS in every home ant least 1 PC of some sort in use almost constantly, for all sorts of uses.

I think the model we'll move to is electric only for the daily commute and rent something for long trips.
Why not electric only for the routine drives and hybrid (either hydrocarbon or hydrogen) for the exceptional long road trips?

And the app will still be on the store. Apple has not banned DUI checkpoint apps, even hypothetical ones.
Are you sure? PhantomAlert seems to be MIA.

Give me my quad core desktop monster with 8G of RAM any day of the week.
That's not really a "monster" by todays standards but your point stands.

Ask that preppy Mac marketing douche, he's the one who said he was a Mac and contrasted that with a "PC".
He mostly just pumped her full (no pun intended) of drugs and alcohol first.
imagine that somebody patented the querty keyboard.
Or the automotive steering wheel/gas/brake/clutch layout.
