His experience was also symptomatically quite similar to all those people that were pressing the wrong pedals in their Audi's. He says he tried to control the car by switching it off and switching into neutral, but he has every reason to make that claim, regardless of whether it is true, so his story is only worth so much.
Toyota should certainly be investigating their control systems, there have been enough incidents to warrant that, but there really isn't enough information available to make any conclusions.
It's rather incredible that the car would fail in a way that it simulated a fully depressed throttle and also ignored input from the ignition button (it can be used to signal the controller to turn off the engine!) and shift lever.
If he didn't know how to operate the ignition or shift lever, his training was failing him. If the car failed such that both inputs were ignored, the problem is even bigger than anybody is talking about.
So do you think that the transmission and ignition switch failed at the same time as his throttle?
If he tried to switch into neutral and tried to turn the engine off, there is a huge problem with the cars. If he didn't, his training wasn't helping him much.
No no, if the Republicans had carried the 2008 elections, this legislation would be substantially different, and it would support the freedoms that real Americans love, not define actions that the president must take when he chooses to exercise powers he is already presumed to have.
I imagine intent is a great deal more important than the technical gibberish you are going on about.
Of course, it is also likely that many bittorrent users have no idea they are uploading the files, but they are obviously trying to download stuff, and a lot of the programs make it pretty clear that you should 'continue to share' the torrent, so the argument is going to look an awful lot like a guy with hair plugs.
I guess it depends on how the servers handle a bad transfer; if they discard incomplete files, larger files will carry a larger penalty, if they just post the partial file, there shouldn't be much difference.
Because file transfers aren't absolutely reliable. With small file sizes, most of the parts make it from server to server, and people already have a bunch of ways of dealing with a little bit of missing data (use more than 1 provider, par2, etc.).
I imagine the fact that a change would favor new users and irritate (some/many?) established users is also a factor.
Modern stream formats are pretty resilient. If you send someone 50% of a movie, about half of what they get will be somewhat watchable. If you send them 99%, they will notice a little bit of corruption here or there.
Given that people that engage int he activity of paying for things do not bring potential legal headaches and people who engage in the activity of copyright infringement do bring potential legal headaches (I guess the distinction might be more 'few' vs 'lots' than 'none' vs 'some', but I don't care to quibble), someone dealing with copyrights can probably make good use of the classification, flawed or not.
Please say "fraud artist", identity exists separately from documentation (at best, documents merely confirm that the issuer has certain beliefs about the person depicted on the documents, at worst, they don't mean anything).
Your browser might be picking the wrong mime type for SVG. I can't find the details, but I recall that an early Adobe tool established 'image/svg-xml' in the windows registry, and firefox will inherit that; changing it to 'image/svg+xml' should fix things (I suppose installing a later version of the Adobe SVG plugin should also do that, who knows).

Sarcasm.

Just don't do any enforcement of the rules and be absent much of the time, until they replace you. My first RA was awesome.
It must suck to have to start disliking stuff just because some plebs found out about it.

I suspect inertia is a primary factor.

Did you beat Vernor Vinge to it? He published such ideas in 2001, in the short story "Fast Times at Fairmont High".
He won a Hugo for it in 2002.
That would be a boon for those doctors that write marijuana prescriptions for 'anxiety', or whatever else the patient can come up with.
Actually, obesity is an increasing problem for much of the world. America is just ahead of the curve.
The whole thing? What would we eat?
Who knew Gilbert Gottfried was hilarious.
Of course, when you say "Hemlock" most Americans think of the tree, which is not poisonous, and is actually a decent source of Vitamin C.
The liver doesn't "need" it, it either uses the fructose for energy or processes it into other compounds that other parts of the body can utilize.
That's a hell of a ninja argument there -- perfect software? Sure, it's possible, it just won't be perfect!

Hubble is probably on the large side of things, but it has a mass of 11,110 Kg.
I don't know, "Rectangular Prism-Sat" just doesn't have the same ring to it.
And cubesat seems to at least get the idea across.

It's most like asking Hitler if he wants to be evil.
