I would hope what you are experiencing is not a product of that communication. It would be trivial to fix via some type of buffer (computer science 101.) I doubt Blizzard is that inept.
I had a similar experience the first couple of times I tried playing the beta. The third time I played it I was finally able to enjoy it, and then was pissed when it ended. They key (for me at least) was to not expect too much out of it. It's definitely not a game I will get too invested in. But it definitely has the "atmosphere" of the previous games, and that's what I appreciate most. Maybe it's nostalgia. I'm not expecting it to be anything more than a game I can jump on for an hour or less to explode some demons with some friends and get some phat +1million to facemelting lewtz.
At first, I misinterpreted the title as "intelligent (design belief)," rather than "(intelligent design) belief." So I was thinking someone got fired over a design that they were responsible for, because of a design philosophy that was good engineering practice or otherwise common sense.
THAT would have made sense for NASA. Now I am confused...
DNRTFA. Anything with the tagline "Is it true that 230% efficient LEDs seem to violate first law of thermodynamics?" automatically gets a caustic answer from me, because I don't have to read the article to know the answer. Whoosh!
They obviously need to take a look at what their "closed system" is. Once they do, they will find that the first law of thermodynamics is in no danger of being violated.
Phase error caused by microphone placement will not be "corrected" by higher sampling rates. It's in the recording. You are talking about two different things.
You'll get disagreements about what phase shift/jitter is actually audible. It might be a good idea to frame an argument about this with data, rather than the "musicians with highly sensitive hearing *will* notice it" argument that the article purposefully and explicitly avoided.
It's in your head. At least you recognize that fact by implying it might be a "feeling," but I'll trust data over someone's opinion. You should too - my opinion;)
The problem is with attention diversion. You are paying some attention to a conversation, which takes attention off of driving.
Yes, the problem still exists even if you are talking to someone in your car. But that's harder to legislate than just banning cell phones. I'd be in favor of a ban, because it's at least one less way that people can kill me on the road.
Are There Any Smartphones That Respect Privacy?
Did you phrase it this way to get a more "impassioned" debate, or did you just not proofread before posting?
First of all, smartphones aren't sentient beings. They can't respect privacy any more than my lawnmower can respect privacy.
So ok. Maybe you really meant "what smartphone hardware/software/service provider combination allows me to keep as much personal data private as possible?" In which case I would tell you that you shouldn't get a smartphone. Heck, maybe you shouldn't even have a normal phone. A phone is by its nature something that communicates things, something that is at odds with "privacy" in the nebulous way you have used the word.
What you asked is sort of like "Are there any Ford vehicles I can get that won't make me a bigoted, racist redneck?"
Do you understand that there is a significant cost to having giant tanks of gasoline at the gas station, and having to keep gas in them, which is delivered in giant tanker trucks which themselves have to burn gasoline to operate?
While power transmission itself has losses, the infrastructure is much more elegant with the battery replacement station (you just need a connection to the electrical grid at the station.)
the 5%-10% increases are happening all the time (or else people wouldn't be able to spend $600 on a phone that wipes their ass.) But those types of stories wouldn't test well in focus groups. It's the big innovations that people want to hear about.
This is what I was taught as well. So I don't really understand what they've done, except create some derived value that may be useful, but doesn't "explain" anything new. And it took them 30+ years.

"Shopping around" may be impossible when dealing with monopolies such as Comcast.

Sometimes I wish I had multiple personality disorder YOU'LL NEVER EXPOSE ME YOU BASTAGES
We are entering into a dystopian society of ACTIVIST LIBRARIANS! Despair!

If by "car dealership" you mean "United States Government," then yes. Yes it is.
Why not have it on a microSD card?
I think the only logical conclusion is that you ALL need to take chill pills and go look at the pretty space pictures.

STFU and pay attention to the road, people.

Wow, this would almost be funny if it wasn't so angry, unnecessary, wrong, and inappropriate.

I sincerely hope that's not "popular belief."
the "magic catalysts" are contained in a box that has + and - leads coming out of it.
I guess the hundreds of pre-recorded calls I've received over the past decade were illegal?
