That used to be fairly common (Google "Trolleybus"), Diesel took over because NIMBYs hated them (the wires were ugly) and they had logistical limitations - trolleybuses can't overtake one another, or take alternate routes during road closures. I'm not sure what's changed that would make us go into the other direction, other than concerns about pollution.
Sanders had net favorability because there wasn't a serious campaign against him. Clinton couldn't run a "What a left wing loon!" campaign against Sanders because that would have alienated much of the Democratic base. And the Republicans sure as hell weren't going to run attack ads against Sanders until he won the primaries - he was clearly the easier to beat candidate.
Trump won, in large part, due to the politics of irrational fear. Illegal immigrants were going to rape or murder you. Muslims and refugees from war-torn Muslim countries are terrorists who will kill you and your family. If you think, for a second, Trump wouldn't have harnessed that same energy to paint Sanders as some horrific totalitarian throwback, just by throwing out the S-word, you weren't paying attention.
We refer to them as part of an OS. An OS is kernel + userspace. The original author's comment can be explained by his disclaimer at the end that he's not a programmer and may have gotten much of the terminology wrong.
As someone who read the EO, I can say it was at least a partial Muslim ban, specifically it targeted Muslims fleeing religious persecution. The fact the ban was worded in a way that avoided the word "Muslim" doesn't change the fact it did (section 5(b) if you're interested.)
Also I listened to the arguments, the judges seemed far more dubious about the argument it wasn't targeted at Muslims, even mentioning 911's comments on TV boasting that he'd had a hand in crafting it and had been asked to make a Muslim Ban that'd pass the legal tests.
I wish they'd do something with the older 21xx series. Those were beautiful phones, again almost indestructible, part of the golden age of Nokia design. I'd want it slightly modernized, specifically with Bluetooth audio. They could probably actually fit a semi-integrated Android tablet on the back if they wanted to ensure people buying it didn't feel like they had to give one up to have the other.
The (7th gen Intel i5) Dell I bought last month costs less than the Dell it replaced from five years ago, or the Thinkpad that replaced 10 years ago (and was better than in every way.) But...
...the battery life is about 2x as long as either. ...the screen has about 60% more pixels (1080P vs 900P), and is significantly higher quality than the older Dell ...It has twice as much memory as the older Dell by default, and has twice the capacity. ...It has the ability to turn into a rotatable tablet, which is nice when reading on the couch ...Has a more powerful integrated GPU than the Nvidia discrete graphics in the old Dell....lacks only the largely obsolete DVD drive in terms of features. Oh, and the Trackpoint, but at least the touchpad is better than the touchpads I've used in the past.
It also happens to be thinner.
This is fairly normal for the $500-1,000 range. True, if you buy something under $500 you end up with a mobile Pentium or Celeron or even an Atom, but budget laptops have never really been good desktop replacements. Conversely, if you pay more than $1,000 you're probably buying a fashion statement, not a desktop replacement.
But if you actually are serious about wanting a powerful laptop, and you're not able to find one, then you're not looking. Going to Amazon, selecting "i5" and "i7", together with a reasonable amount of memory, isn't difficult and will list huge numbers of well spec'd laptops perfectly capable of running Windows 7 or Windows 10 or Ubuntu or whatever you want.
I'd be interested to know if HD video is merely unthrottled, or throttled to, say, 5Mbps (that's above VUDU's recommended amount of bandwidth for 1080P.) If the latter, then they're being consistent.
The video thing was real, the problem was caused by the fact dynamic bandwidth video streaming protocols are inherently greedy, insisting on trying to grab as much data as possible. I've worked at companies that run live video events, where the internal network's connection to the outside world has been clogged because too many people are trying to stream the same 720P video at once. At that point, it's not just those trying to watch the video that have problems, it's people just browsing the web and using other low bandwidth applications.
Moderate Drink driving is probably fairly safe in circumstances where nothing happens that would require you take action. Sure, if you're blind drunk to the point you can't even stay in your lane then an accident is inevitable, but if you're merely at the stage that your judgment is severely impaired, then the accidents will happen only if you actually have to use your judgment.
Which is probably why so many people drive drunk - they've driven drunk before, nothing happened, because nothing unexpected happened, so giving them a false sense of security.
When was Trump out of a job because of his Mar-a-Lago snafu?
Flynn isn't being fired because he breached mostly unofficial protocols concerning the storage of communications, he's resigned because of his communications with a hostile foreign power.
Trump, on the other hand, casually handled a national security issue involving North Korea in front of numerous $200,000 donors... uh, I mean, "members of his club", without making any efforts to maintain security or privacy. And he's still President. As is every member of his staff (and there are several) who use private email servers to conduct official business.
Like Sanders, I'm a little sick of hearing about emails. But I'm especially sick of hearing about them from people who have no interest whatsoever in the current administration's own communications practices, which are clearly "worse" (in quotes, because frankly the private email thing was always a non-scandal, and you know it.)
Trump is massively unpopular. The Republican's own policies are, for the most part, massively unpopular when actually implemented (as an example, while a lot of people support getting rid of "Obamacare", relatively few - a small minority of voters - approve of getting rid of the "Affordable Care Act". Yes, really.)
So Trump actually gives the Republicans quite a bit of cover to do the unpopular stuff, and then hang Trump with it later. Which is why I don't see the Republicans actually impeaching Trump for at least a year - get the bad stuff out of the way, then "Oops, no, we thought he was terrible too".
You'll be able to do things on your own network much more quickly and/or reliably, such as move files between machines, or streaming video from, say, your desktop to your TV.
No, obviously it won't help with browsing the world wide web, but why would you expect it to and why would you think that's the problem it's trying to solve?
Then what would qualify as "unlimited"? Because LTE speeds aren't infinite either. No mobile phone technology has the ability to provide unlimited bandwidth?
I think a reasonable criticism is that they're not using the word "unlimited" in the same sense that T-Mobile is (who will allow LTE access over the soft-limit, but will deprioritize your data when the tower is congested), and perhaps there needs to be a common definition. But it is unlimited in the consumer sense of "I will always be able to use data, and not worry about overages."
1. You generally only have two options, and usually those options are "If you don't vote for me, the even worse one gets in." Trying to prevent Neo-Mussolini from being elected by voting for Neo-Nixon doesn't mean you support Neo-Nixon's views.
2. All politicians do things they weren't associated with previously.
3. All politicians support a range of policies, there's never going to be an exact match between a voter's and the person they vote for.
4. Politicians require feedback from you, the citizen. Saying people who support a particular politician should shut up if that politician does something they don't support essentially ends that feedback loop.
5. People change their minds.
So no, nobody's a hypocrite for criticizing a government they voted for. When you're a little older, and vote for the first time, you'll learn this the hard way.
If Twitter's actions of late are any indication, it would be more accurate to say that it wants to put everyone in a big room where only the SJW/liberal voices are allowed to talk and everyone else sits quietly out of fear of being banned like Milo.
The only reason anyone out there might be sitting "quietly out of hear of being banned like Milo" is because people like you keep telling everyone Milo was banned for expressing political opinions rather than because he repeatedly broke the Twitter terms of service, the final straw being when he faked tweets from someone else in order to run a harassment campaign against her.
Seems to be a common theme at the moment amongst the right. Get people scared by lying about what's going on. People aren't scared of Muslim refugees? Lie about them and claim they're terrorists. People aren't scared of Mexicans illegally working in this country? Lie about them and claim they're murderers and rapists.
He's not. While Visual Studio has git support, users are encouraged to use Microsoft's own free source code repository/management system.. With the exception of a few Mono holdouts, I'm guessing 90% of C# developers, professional or otherwise, use Visual Studio, where you're encouraged to use Team Services.
The Trump administration has tried to impose a temporary ban on the entry of people from countries that the US has been actively bombing, that don't have functioning governments, and that have been the source of terrorism. It's what the president is authorized to do because it's a rational and reasonable thing to do.
Just curious, but where do idiots like you think refugees flee from? Canada? Belgium? The Netherlands?
Forget about the constitutionality for a second, do you not think that it's a blatant violation of the Geneva Convention to ban people from entering this country on the basis that they live in the kind of country that people would need to flee from?
Leaving aside the fact that prosecuted for treason doesn't necessarily mean executed, I don't recall Obama ever calling what Snowden did "Treason". Given Manning wasn't, there's little or no reason to suppose the Obama regime would have charged him with treason, still less executed.
Well, sterilization was the word she used IIRC. She may well have been just being provocative, I mean, like I said, it's Germaine Greer, she tends to do that.
I understand what you're trying to do, and yeah, the right really has a truth problem at the moment. And I don't think they care.
It was in her Guardian column, which should date it quite a bit because, IIRC, she stopped writing there after that spat she had with Suzanne Moore. I just tried the Guardian's own website but I don't think they host archives of her column alas.
Her argument went something along the lines of "Men and women want to have sex all the time, right now the onus is on the woman to avoid getting pregnant if either the man or woman doesn't want to become a parent yet. What we should do instead is have all men bank their sperm, get the snip, and then everyone can fuck as much as they want. When it's time to have a baby, they can get the sperm from the sperm bank."
The savings have nothing to do with eliminating left turns, they have to do with how they eliminated left turns, specifically they poured a fortune into software that would optimize routes.
We can safely assume this because if they'd had used the same software before the left turn elimination project, then that software would either have created even more efficient routes, or in the unlikely event No Left Turns really is optimal, would have created routes that already had left turns eliminated.
It's a little like claiming "By eliminating my cancer, my weight problem disappeared!" when it turned out the treatment for cancer the patient used also results in a weight loss.

Some of Darwin is. The xnu kernel ultimately derives from NEXTSTEP. BSD derived packages (mostly FreeBSD) make up most of the user space in Darwin.
