I presume the "for-profit" is actually related to their IRS status and not their overall financial goals. Most colleges are (IRS recognized) non-profits, though they pay high-6 and 7 figure salaries to top officers and have endowments in the billions.
IIRC, ambiguous language in a contract, or that which is not defined or poorly defined, should generally be found to be in favor of the person receiving the contract. In other words, if Verizon wrote the contract and implied that "pass" meant to bring fiber to all residents, or the city believed in good faith that "pass" meant to provide a fiber outlet / headend / demarc readily accessible to every resident, then the courts should find in the favor of the city. The reverse is also true, though. If the city wrote the contract and didn't specify what they meant by pass, then Verizon gets to define what they meant (within reason, of course).
Weird analogy to choose for this summary. Weirder that the next 5 days the top barbershop quartets in the world will be vying to be awarded "International Champion". (http://www.barbershop.org/pittsburgh/)
Storage is not a myth. Talking about putting power into and pulling out of a "Grid" means nothing. When your production drops below your demand, you need storage. And your threshold for deciding what is "enough" should not be based on an average, or even on a 1% event. Having rolling worldwide blackouts 3x a year is not what I consider stable.
Wow, did you even wipe off that statistic after you pulled it out? I might buy that 10% of users *tried* WMC at some point during their ownership since it's release. Heck, I even tried it until I found out that it was essentially useless, with poor content, poor support, and outrageously expensive extension devices.
I'd guess the current usage would be 1% or less, but I've not seen any statistics.
Sorry, Mr. Nanny, it can't be made perfectly safe in all conditions for all possibly failure modes. Same with automobiles, conventional aircraft, downhill skiing, and, well, everything.
By your logic, and fears, motorcycles should *definitely* be outlawed.
If $150k is the target, and they miss by a factor of two, they could still scale to 4x the thrust and put an enclosed 2/4 seater with a 1000# payload for under a million.
Stability, flight dynamics, and structures have come a long way since Moller bilked investors for millions. Possibly to the point where it's actually feasible to build the aircar he couldn't.
RF can be aimed; it's done all the time. You should take some engineering classes.
And it'a lot safer than firing chunks of steel and lead while there are aircraft around and firefighters on the ground, even if it's aimed "the wrong way" accidentally.
Can we stop calling them drones. They're remote controlled (hobby) airplanes. Drones makes it sound like it's a weaponized, autonomous craft weighing hundreds of pounds.
Amazingly, guns are not the solution to every problem, despite what the NRA has told you.
RF jamming and/or GPS spoofing would be a better/easier way to down these craft, and a drop from 500 feet into a forest fire would have the same deleterious effect on the airframe that bullets would.
"1) as most people familiar with condoms would recognize, when a condom's in full use it's quite frequently dark and/or not exactly exposed to where you can see it."
BOOM - my invention is to make the colors glow in the dark. Hold on while I call my patent lawyer...
I mean, if you're going to go old school, you need to go old school.
FWIW, I thought the colored stuff on the old thinkpads was pretty awful anyway. Kind of how we knew parachute pants and double shoulder pads were a bad idea. Fun to look back and laugh at, but not something we really need to bring back.
They're developing their own version with a switch that indicates full power, children present, and pregnant woman mode along with a power level LED. It will be wired completely independently of all wifi circuitry, thereby allowing you to reduce the power level LED without affecting the range or speed of the router.
First the average American doesn't know what a deductible means.
Second, the ACA was drafted as the Republican plan back when the Democrats were trying to figure out how to make the whole system single payer.
The ACA has no business as a federal law just like there should be no standing US army, no EPA, no FCC, no interstate highway system, and no national parks. They were added because (1) there was a need and (2) the states can't get their shit together - mostly the latter.
The US flag is just cloth, no different that the rags I use to light my bbq grill. The US Constitution is just a piece of paper, as are all of the articles in the Bill of Rights - made of the same stuff I wipe my butt with after take a shit. Your family is mainly a bunch of water and protein stuffed into a semi-permeable membrane, no different than the steak I'll have for dinner.
Sorry - symbols and people are more than the base materials from which they are made. And that one stands for the desire of one group of people to own, buy, sell and dispose of other humans as they saw fit. And it's true whether or not you realize that is the case does not make it not so.
Boycott them; go buy an Android phone and use the Google marketplace. Gone from there too? Then go get a MS phone. Don't like that, go get a Blackberry. Think there's a market for confederate-themed games - go build your own phone and marketplace.
That's the wonderful thing about the marketplace. You can use Bing, Yahoo, or whatever other search engine you like. You can buy from any of the thousands of stores which aren't ebay or Walmart.
I like to eat chicken on Sunday. I don't get mad when Chick-fil-A is closed because they don't believe in working on Sundays, I get chicken elsewhere and move on with my life.

$150k is about what you pay for a month of parking in the city, so it seems pretty trivial.
If $150k is the target, and they miss by a factor of two, they could still scale to 4x the thrust and put an enclosed 2/4 seater with a 1000# payload for under a million.

"If you want to bring down drones, you're going to need a net. Or a really big HERF."
Or maybe a load of fire retardant dropped on it. I mean, if you're going to ditch it anyway...
...13 or 14 if you factor in the number of times your flight will be delayed or cancelled.
Good News - you've got a million frequent flyer miles!
Bad News - you have to fly United.

"Also you are stating the SCOTUS, the ultimate power in determining the law, is unreliable?"
Well, yes - but that's beside the point. ;-)

A small part of me wanted to see this go down, just to watch the shitstorm that resulted and see the Republicans claim that it wasn't their fault.

I expect both of the game players that were interested in it are pretty disappointed over not being able to buy that game.

You call for a ride, and arrest/fine the driver when her or she arrives. It's not like they're hiding out in the mountains of Afghanistan.
