I disagree that driving is mundane and trivial. If this were so, then we would not be required to wait until a certain age , practice for a year, then pass a test to be allowed to do it. In Georgia, teens are not allowed to have passengers or drive at night for years after their first license is issued. These requirements are only because of the responsibility required to drive, and the amount of destruction that is available to the driver of any car.
That people think driving is mundane and trivial, and therefore they should allow their attention to be focused on other tasks is truly the crux of this issue.
I tend to stick within 10 mph of the limit also, but if you are going slower than some of the flow of traffic in the left lane, then the response you are getting should not be unexpected.
The parent post mentioned defensive drivers and aggressive drivers, but left out passive-aggressive as a common behavior also, and one which may cause more accidents than simple aggressive driving.
My license already allows me to go over the posted limit. If the police see me going well over the limit they tend to stop me to ask for proof of the right to be driving. There is an extra cost associated with this license and with the inspection process that the police tend to go through during the license check. The police also tend to let my insurance know that I have been using this excessive speed license, so there is an added cost to that also.
Some people say speeding ticket, I say racing license. A movie ticket allows you to go to the movies, a speeding ticket must allow you to speed.
I disagree that this could just be bad editing, as the tertiary source had originally stated something very similar to the final typo. This doesnt pass the smell test, it smells like a cover-up. This group of people has currently lost the benefit of the doubt from me.
You state below that you dont think that ideology shouldnt drive the facts you choose to believe. I agree with this completely. It just seems that there are serious ideological drivers in this group, and that this is more than a simple mistake.
The chairman of the IPCC panel, Rajendra Pachauri, on Saturday called the forecast "a regrettable error," and says it arose because established procedures were not diligently followed. "The whole paragraph, I mean that entire section is wrong. That was a mistake," said Pachauri..
You may have to dig in a bit more than the summary, but this as not just a typo.
Unfortunately, some of the scientists that originally noticed this issue were afraid to bring it up because of the politically charged nature of this group. Shocking as it may sound, there are global warming scientists who denounce anyone who disagrees with them, and have the power to effect the funding of anyone who is not in lock step with the agenda.
I dont think you have really escaped the single point of failure.
Losing an all in one device means you have lost a lot of functionality, but replacing that device brings it all back in one shot.
Having one device for one task may sound good, but if you need a camera, and you lose it ( or it breaks ) your stand alone GPS device cant help you take a picture.
Your point is valid for why I dont use my phone as an mp3 player. Draining the battery on my music player has much less impact when I am hours from a charger than draining the battery on my phone.
people throw rocks from bridges into oncoming traffic, get over it. people fire guns randomly in crowded cities, get over it. people spit in your food at restaurants, get over it .
this is fun.
I would prefer that people not to do things that can actually harm me out of negligence.
Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no! Otter: Germans? Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.
the question isnt is it safe, the question is how do we make it safe. Obviously, if the corn is modified to not be harmed by chemicals that kill plants, then the solution is to modify people to not be harmed by eating the corn. This way, the deer and other wild population that infiltrate our corn fields will be eliminated along with the weeds that interfere with our farms. Dominion is awesome!
All you have to say to management as an admin is " what are the SLAs?" There is no way I would ever be responsible for a production SLA in a lab environment. If massive downtimes due to undocumented changes are acceptable to customers, then fast and cheap is okay. If any level of good is wanted, then you have to consider expense.
yes, some people are purchasing, some arent. You could possibly triple the price of a DVD and still have some purchasers. VHS movies were originally $60 each. The producers cannot claim lost sales on items not purchased if consumers decide that the product is not worth the cash.
good call. Lets commit constant acts of terror until the US population becomes numb to it. Once the apathy towards airplane bombing sets in, we will be free to travel in peace!
This enforcement cost has been shifted. The civil penalties are being replaced by criminal penalties. Instead of the industry paying lawyers and taking PR hits, now this is just government action. Seeing how much litigation can be removed, there should be quite a hefty sum being saved by the industries in question. If my tax dollars are paying for extra margin or revenue or profits (insert whatever word you want here) for the a producer of a good, then I should have the rights to use the product.
If said resource with a price tag is not purchased, and the producer of the resource turns to government force to declare that the only reason it did not sell is that the consumers aren't playing fair, then the market force is severely disrupted. A better excuse would be needed, except that industry lobbies seem to have convinced enough people in power that the consumers must be FORCED, under threat of criminal action, to buy at the price dictated. The current environment allows for the lack of sales to be counted as illegal action, regardless of the fact that I dont buy movies because I dont watch them.
Do you really separate an anti-piracy law from the **AA business model?
I am fairly certain that this law was not lobbied by a concerned suburban mother of 2.4 kids. The law was pushed for by industry, to make a civil action into a criminal action. Now that the government has to pay for the costs of enforcement, there is a dedicated tax. If the government had done nothing, then the cases would be left to the industry to enforce. There is not many directions to go from here but to allow citizens the rights to copy since they are paying for (indirectly) supporting the business model of the **AAs, or put things back as they were.

hell, getting the amulet with a search engine is hard enough.
great, now i have to go try again. see you all in a month.
That sure is a mighty fine music and movie collection you have downloaded. Sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

and just like in Iraq, once we get in there and tear everything up then the proof we are expecting will just be sitting around all over the place.

I refuse to get a phone until it can withstand orbital reentry
and the maps software must keep accurate to within 3 meters the entire way down.

I hope control could be automated. It would be nearly impossible to pay attention to the other flyers while texting.
too bad i am an old man on a green screen. I bet this would be really funny if the letters were alternating blue and red.
are you asking if my comment a joke, or the declared end of the beta ?
I was aiming for a snarky cynical cheap shot. twice
is the beta over yet? I dont give good SLAs on retention and recovery to dev systems .
