My contacts in IP have indicated that lyrics and music are inextricbly combined when a song is created with lyrics - they are not a separate/separable copyright. It's one of the reasons why Jonothan Coulton's music, which is set to the lyrics of Baby Got Back, is not under his copyright and was not actionable when it was used in the show Glee without his permission. Even though his musical composition is entirely unique, because it was set to existing lyrics the copyright is owned by Sir Mix-A-Lot.

You cannot get gridlock in a traffic system where all rules are followed. The worst you could get is a potentially non-optimal throughput under special conditions. If you follow ALL of the rules, things will work out just fine. It's how the system is set up. However, I'm willing to be swayed if you can post an actual citiation and the report isn't bullshit itself, or extremely limited in scope.
In the OP's defense, he's driving a 6 cylinder, 3 liter engine that's 13 years old and is probably cranking in the neighborhood of 250 peak horsepower. I'm going to venture a guess that's more than twice what yours produces. Not that it needs it (or even half of it), but for what it is, it's not a bad metric.
So a bit like tempered or strain hardened aluminum. Weld it and *boom* all your strength gains are gone.
Most people not familiar with Aluminum look at the numebers, and the corrosion resistance, and are thrilled. Then they weld up something they like and bring it to me to tell them that it's strong enough for whatever project they're working on. I've actually had people (almost) yelling at me that their 6061-T6 handrail was just fine. Until we broke one for them, right at the welded base. At 1/3 of the required load.
The moon landings were faked too. If you have a powerful enough telescope you can actually look at where they supposedly landed on the moon and left the rover and LEM. But you know what those placed look like - an abandoned sound stage. You take a photograph of the moon at high enough resolution and you can see the remains of a camera and lightning boom. Not the LEM or rover - the debris is the wrong shape. It exactly matches the lighting equipment used in the 60s on TV sets. Filmed. Right there. Fake as can be. They even left the set trash.
"Starting Tuesday morning, schools will be shut down, the production of smoke will be limited, and cars will be under an odd/even alternate day ban while the local government waits for air quality to improve"
At which point, it is presumed, the entire system will go back to what it was doing before the red alert. That strikes me as counterproductive - as if maybe, next time, all that pollution won't lead to smog.
If you have half a million dollars of equipment which was certified to run on a specific build of Windows 7, you'd be the worlds dumbest administrator to have windows update turned on. Actually, that goes for any operating system you're running - Linux and OSX, too. If you're hardware depends on a know, fixed installation you never, ever upgrade anything without a pre-test regimen. Any patch to the OS or drivers can result in a failure or conflict with your mission critical system.
Perhaps if you understood configuration management you'd know that.
Ugly in what way? The flyout on the start menu? The 2 pixel smaller windows borders? My W10 looks nearly identical in most operations to my W7 installation except for those two things.
Actually, with a contact area of roughly 2 square inches and a nominal maximum solar flux of about 1500W/m2, 2 Watts over a watch back really is about as hot as the sun here on earth.
Yahoo mail (and occasionally AOL mail) users are the only people I talk to who regularly note the capitalization of their email addresses. I find that reason enough for Yahoo to die.
Was MTBF actually a problem with SSDs? I've heard people worry about write endurance and crappy firmware but I was under the impression that MTBF - essentially mechanical/electrical failures - were heavily in SSDs favor.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I rarely (never?) purchase HD space at retail. External 4/5/6 TB hard drives are hovering around $25/terabyte when on sale (which is fairly frequently). 8s, as you noted, are getting close to that. There's a limit to how low the price for a new drive can go - they typically bottom out at $40-50 no matter how small the capacity is. The 2-4TB drives are falling quickly toward that range, which means the 8s will start taking the low-$100 spot next year (Though perhaps late next year).
SSDs may ultimately overtake spinning rust for consumer level storage needs, simply because we're running out of shit to store. With more and more content being delivered as a service rather than a stored medium, and with video getting further and further locked up by content owners, SSDs may catch up with more than 99% of the storage needs of users for that magic $100 mark in the near future.
You are bitching about $20 a year for a $200 device that does 24/7 monitoring of a million dollar asset?
I'm curious: do you turn off your water heater between showers? Do you power your phone down at night? Do you unplug your TV and microwave between uses? Do you manually power down your wifi router and modem when you're not actively on the internet? Do you unplug all the ac/dc converters when you're not using them? Do you disconnect the positive terminal of your car battery when you're not driving?
All these things take power. All are wasteful. And yet we leave them on because it is inconvenient not to. I realize that you, personally, may be rationing your power in your off-grid bunker, keeping time by counting your prepper stores of jerky and ammo, but the rest of us in the civilized world waste $1.60 a month on far less useful things than keeping a home security camera running 24/7.

Admit it, you all considered the implications of a high tech drone in place of a trunk monkey when reading the summary.
I've got one on my shelf, along with a well worn copy of Roark (& Young).

The expansion of clickbait headlines into everything makes me weep for humanity.
You failed your deformables class in college, didn't you?

(1) not a liquor store holdup, a terrorist action
(2) you really know nothing about perimeters for manhunts, do you?
Look how well the Soviets did this in Afghanistan. Find the problem and eliminate it. Done and done.
Why can't we have even the slightest hint of he effectiveness of the Soviets? /s
This may be the most insightful comment in the entire discussion.

A mass shooting a day. A week between mass shootings would be an enormous improvement.
The 2nd amendment isn't *at all* for protection from a violent society. It's for protection of the states from outside and/or federal combatants.

Don't fuck with engineers - we *will* get even.
