no, no, it's not like minority report at all. How do you know he didn't hurt anything? All those "i'm kool my kar goes fast!!11" videos i've ever seen just showed a speedometer and a little bit of a highway.
How do you know that he didn't go speeding by some 90 year old grandmother with an infant grandchild in the back like a fucking speeding rocket and shuffle her car off the road because 4000 pounds moving at 200 mph has one hell of a fuckin wake?
Didn't think about that one, did you? That would be why civil engineers set the speed limits, and not you, not the cops, and not the goddamn lawmakers. Sit down, shut up, and start using a calculator.
You might like all the songs. Since I listen mostly to rock/alternative genres, I probably only want his singles. Can I buy them cheaply, like my dad could in the 70's? He's got a stack of 45's that probably reaches the ceiling of my apartment.
I do realize they still sell them, but are they $0.99 per song cheap?
Because even if we don't have speed limits, you still have to drive a speed that is reasonable and prudent.
219 miles an hour is not either of those. Racing off of the race track is not either. If I hit something going 75MPH? It's gonna hurt. 219 MPH? It's not going to hurt because I've been liquefied before my nerves can even depolarize.
I can have my car (and pretty much any Ford before about 1998) unlocked and started in less than 30 seconds with a screwdriver and a slimjim, and I don't have to get anybody to click "Yes" to do it. Not only that, but I could put it all back together with no damage! Furthermore, most cars are built like this.
Right now, AT&T is "Open" in the fact that you can bring a device to them that operates on the US 1900MHz and 850MHz GSM bands, and purchase a SIM card for service without a contract.
Verizon says that you can bring a CDMA handset to their network, I'm not sure with contract or not.
I work for an apartment complex, and we have to literally treat everyone the same. If some jerkoff calls and says "Yeah, do I have a package? I live in the building right next to the office.", I have to give them the same answer as the person who calls and says, "Why hello! Could you check if I received a package? I live in the building a half mile uphill from the office."
So what answer do they both get? "I don't know, you'll have to come down and ask me."
Fuck that. It sucks. It makes MOST of our customers angry at us because we have to cater to the lowest common denominator because of the Equal Housing Act. I can't be nice to the nice residents, and an asshole to the dickbag ones because the dickbag might have some as-of-yet undefined disability (long story short, in order to avoid being sued, if a doctor says they have a disability, they do, even if it's a Doctor of Chiropractic telling us he has a brain tumor.)!
Ever seen factory equipment? Every temp job I've ever had to work in summer has sent me to some factory where the average worker was probably a drug addict.
Usually, to start a machine you need to push TWO buttons (at least both of your arms and hands had to be out of the machine), and they're both recessed buttons. To stop it, you just need to hit the giant, red one that's probably on a yellow conduit box and everything anywhere near it is painted yellow. Most of them are tilt switches too, so all you have to do is mash the big red button in SOME direction to stop the machine.
Good thing, too. I ran a rather large laser imager (think Jeep Cherokee), and if it happened to rip its paper while still running, it fills a room to the point you need a machete to get through. At another place, the Engrish warnings on an injection molding press said stuff like "Head application to the hydraulic vice leads into injuriousness!" (That means, don't stick your head in the machine unless it tells you to, and even then, make sure your damn fingers aren't stuck in the safety switches, or its 200,000 pounds over the area of your skull!)
Maybe he lives in the woods. When I lived with my parents, we had a 10KW generator on a concrete slab out back. If we didn't have it, there's no water and no heat - doesn't matter that usually the cable and phone still works. Once it kicks on, it restarts the cable modem, so even though it's black all around for miles, we're still connected.
Pretty convenient, it'd be nice to have it here, where when some asshole hits one of the curbside transformers and the power goes out for 6 hours we don't have internet!:(
YOU MEEN THER ISNT A NUMBER I CAN CALL WHEN I CANT SEE MY WINDOWS?!!1
THERE IS MUCH INSUBORDINATION WITH YOUR PRODUCT MR LINUX I AM GOING TO REQUIREING OF YOU A REFUND OF THE MONETARIES TRANSFERRED FROM ME TO YOU FOR YOUR INFERIOR PRODUCT.
I CALLED THE MICRO SOFT SUPPORT LINE AND THY HELPED PUT MY WINDOWS BACK BUT I LOST MUCH DATAS. I WILL EXPECTING A CALL WITHIN 3 DAYS.
MUCH THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME JOHN 5-PACK 5-PACK INDUSTRIES.
I think he means that level of support. I'm pretty sure you can get that with Microsoft. You probably can't get it with Linux, because, after all, lameness filters do exist, and they are pretty effective at keeping this kind of person off the platform.
Ah, but sir! Windows Media Player, the lowest-common-denominator media player on the market, can be told to re-encode files to a lower bit rate when syncing to an "MTP Device". IIRC, -- I used to use it to put MP3s on my cell phone -- you can pick the bitrate you want to be stored on the device.

Why the hell wouldn't Europe have the same GSM phones I do?

Damn. I must be behind the times. I'm drinking Yuengling out of a Ball mug. How do I send it to space?
Except, of course, that 3D Realms (or whoever owns it now) has also announced that it is actually going to make Duke Nukem Forever.
Well, prison state, any way =)

Why, if we use your logic, is my car protected?
Lucky you. When my work calls me and I'm not on duty, it's a "Real Emergency" ie, something on fire or someone being assaulted :(
Some girl actually did that on Cops!
If mathematic isn't a word, how do you describe something that has math-like attributes? ie, what type of question would 4+4 be?

How much more energy does ultraviolet light have versus red light?
:P
What does the term "fluoresce" mean?
Does this process require energy?
Figure those ones out, and you'll have the answer to your question
I think this is fair, but watch out!
