I was watching their press conference (http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/feb/24/daytona-crash-fans-injured-race) and wondered why that Chit guy kept repeating how quickly and within protocol their people responded. I guess there's some question now, and they're already setting a stage for their defense.
Yeah, state of the art military that doesn't do much of anything, and we're all driving on pot hole riddled roads, we have 40 kids to a classroom, our bridges are falling down, and there's never any money for anything in our budget. This is the thinking that keeps senators from cutting any spending. Because of the immediate negative effect on their constituents. That money could be used elsewhere, and people would retain employment.
"Entitlement" is almost a four letter word, but you know what? I'd rather have US citizens be able to feed themselves, than our money going to toys that never get used. We will have training exercises and missions costing millions per minute, in flight refelling for God knows what reason when the US has bases and aircraft carriers everywhere. And all this in an age when 19 guys with box cutters struck a direct blow to us and we're relying more on RC planes to dish out our justice. Who are we going to fight with these planes?
Once we had two detectives come to out datacenter because someone sent an email with a return address hosted by a customer. No idea whether it was a real drop box or a faked envelope From, but the complaint was made by this annoying guy that took all that nonsense seriously. So yeah, they do have resources to waste. At least they recovered stolen property here and didn't just chase ghosts.
Even if there's a ban on plastic bans, food is still packaged. Even fruits and vegetables are placed in smaller, clear plastic bags for weighing, bananas come in their own plastic packaging, bread, meats, etc, are all individually packaged. I don't buy this either.
So what about Broder's claim that Tesla told him to set off on a ~60 mile stretch with an indicated 30 mile range? Or their instruction to stop charging early? Was that not the case? Did he lie?
I'm sure if you top up to 100% every chance you get, you will make it, but that did not happen here, out of design it seems.
what is the point of this? Does the guy with the gun not know what will happen when he pulls the trigger, or not know how to aim? I'm sure they have target practice So why do this in public, without notifying everyone ahead of time? To scare some old timers into cardiac arrest? To force some return fire?
With class sizes getting bigger, you expect a teacher to notice details about a student?
Maybe the real problem is that the US is spending too much money on its own guns, and cutting spending on things that matter, like teachers and other social programs. But I suppose we need to design new fighter jets that don't protect us against a box cutter, that we'll just sell to Israel or have stolen from storage.
Well, expect many politicians to jump on this bandwagon. Quomo, who was the first to pass legislation as a result of that school shooting, is a Democrat. Granted, he isn't making a misguided claim against games, but the bill still set a somewhat arbitrary limit on magazine sizes, etc.
I also like how representatives of other countries point to the issues the US had decades ago, in regards to manufacturing standards, health, labor laws, etc. Sure, there were growing pains, but should you not learn from them? The US was after all at the forefront of industrialization. Should you not vaccinate people, but instead wait until your own scientists learn about invisible bacterial, or about penicillin, or about carbon emissions?
> half of the US is global-warming doubters or deniers
And I suppose the other half are Al Gore sycophants ready to throw money at whatever scheme portends to fix all of our ills, when all it will do is benefit the few.
I personally expect everyone to be a shitbag. From the beat cop who's filling a quota, to the low level judge who's turning the grinder of the legal system, to an AG who's out to make a name for himself. It's the social support network (family, friends, colleagues) that are supposed to serve as our bedrock. There are so many stories of false accusations, of AGs withholding evidence, or pursuing a case where there is none, that its hard to expect our system to operate any differently.
we'll criticize people that had no personal tie to a person for not recognizing their true mental state? How many immediate family members do not recognize a suicidal condition in someone? But we expect a lawyer to see it?
If I knew of a friend, even a close one, that routinely drove drunk, and didn't listen to anyone's warnings and protestations, then the next logical step would be to report them. Or would you prefer that this kid hit a pedestrian, instead of a parked car. Cause I've seen this happen with asshat drunks who left kids without mothers.
That would be a fairly poor decision to make since not very many people bother with SPF. If anything, DKIM would be a better choice, especially for Yahoo.
Spamhaus does have some false positives, but dealing with the amount of data they get, it's inevitable. Every time I've dealt with them, they were fairly responsive. Small blocks are removed automatically. Larger ones (like a/19 for example) take an email or two of back and forth.
As far as incentive, if companies want to retain email users, then of course they have incentive to minimize false positives. At the end of the day, it's a balance. It isn't always easy to tell spam from non spam if you aren't looking at your own, personal mailbox that you're familiar with.
It's called a compromise. For a set price, you're willing to accept certain drawbacks or expose yourself to certain scenarios. Happens all the time for everyone. Like, for example, in insurance.
I'm clearly an employee? You should play the lottery as you "clearly" have a crystal ball.
I don't know anything about you, but I try to avoid the dealership as much as I can. They exist solely to extract the greatest amount of money with the least amount of effort. Go in and ask one of their "sales representatives" *any* detail about a car, and you'll be met with the 1000 yard stare, before they scamper back to their computer, hoping you go away and stop making them feel foolish.
With the Internet, spec pages, and forums, dealerships do not serve a purpose to anyone with even an average intelligence. I would love for car manufacturers to simply sell online, let you choose options, and ship your car to a place local to you. A point of presence here and there to let you physically see the cars would be welcome, though.
But don't worry. The people that aren't unable to do even basic research will still come over to a dealership, with their poor credit in tow, so that you can even get some extra interest percentage points on top of the sale.
I was simply replying to your statement of "selling a product that will one day make ours obsolete".
You yourself say that they "sell primarily gasoline powered vehicles", hence the product is not electric, and will be made obsolete by Tesla's electric offerings. I was simply asking whether you were making the "horse drawn carriage" argument.
Anyway, not sure why you're getting so agitated here.

It takes two to tango. If contractors are sucking the government dry, why is your government letting it happen?

> Battery life is good though.
Sounds nothing like an Apple product then. Probably a fake.
> but I've never heard of Sony's watch
Probably because the media has such a hard-on for Apple, they write a front page article any time someone at apple burps.
It isn't slow, and wouldn't be for a small display like that. They've made eInk displays of similar size that played full motion video.

This is just so bizarre.

Sounds like someone followed the "4 Hour Workweek" book a little too closely.

That whole argument is very weak to me.
