Actually they pretty much did (save the world...) without the USA, Britain would have run out of food and other material. Very likely the Axis would have taken over Europe unopposed, and eventually they might have even been able to win against Russia if they weren't fighting a war on two fronts. That would have left China and the USA as their only opposition...
Yeah, but they're talking about creating minor roads where they don't exist, not reversing one-way street directions!
The type and amount of such "errors" would depend on which cartography company they buy their maps from. Through their "community" they might find and correct some of the errors, or perhaps induce more - who knows?
Ah, the MyFukedPC troll is back. This asshole is part of a astroturfing company sent to spam social media sites. Ignore the fuckstick. May he and his type get painful testicular cancer and die horribly in pain, alone.
I does in a kind of weird sense. It "recognizes" complex speech patterns (natural language) to analyze and produce an answer. It doesn't "recognize" sounds of speech (phonemes) and turn them into text to then analyze. I remember them saying it had some problems with puns and humor, they seemed to be the hardest language patterns for Watson to understand their underlying meanings.
Not all locks can be bumped. Particularly, Medeco (would have to bump 3 axes at once) and ACE (cylindrical tumbler type) types won't work with a standard bump gun. ACE can be picked with a different type of pick, Medeco are purportedly pick-proof (I'm not entirely convinced of that, though).
Actually, I have also seen whole coffee beans packaged this way, too - the same effect applies, the little bricks of coffee beans are also rock-hard. Apparently the granular size of the filler isn't too important to the process - it just has to be un-compressible enough so that when it's all packed down together it doesn't alter or lose its shape.
If you have ever seen a vacuum-packed brick of coffee you know what this is all about. It's ROCK-HARD until you break the seal, then it all falls to dust as the air gets in the package.
That's always been a problem historically, at least in the tech/computer industry, and I suspect others as well.
The PHB's have no metrics to evaluate the people and technologies that they control but do not understand. So, they use the only yardstick they have at their disposal - judging people by their employee skills; i.e. showing up to work on time, not taking excessive breaks, etc.
Kind of sucks, but it's been that way as long as I can remember, probably longer (and I'm 50...).
The first time I ever saw them was on vacation in Key West, FL when I was about 9 or 10, that would have been around 1972. They were mostly ads for local businesses, but some looked like regular TV ads. Being from Chicago area, I had never seen such a thing back home. It wasn't until the mid to late 1980's that they started showing ads with the previews around the Chicago area.
K is for "Kindergarten". That's a pre-grade-school "grade" that most kids enter around age 5 or 6 (depending on what part of the year you were born in). Grades 1-6 are called "Grade School", grades 7 and 8 are called "Junior High" and grades 9-12 are called "High School". Some kids get through High School in 3 years instead of 4 by either accelerated classes, joining the military, taking early college classes or dropping out. The age ranges are somewhat variable as I have said, so most Americans refer to school "age" by grade level. I know I had to think about it and count on my fingers to translate grade to age using my own case as an example:)
The Firefighters, Police and other First Responders, and the few people who stood up to them on the flights were the only "Heroes" of 9/11. The rest were senseless victims, as the OP said.
Calling everyone connected with the incident "heroes" cheapens the word, just like calling everyone the gov't doesn't like "terrorists" devalues that word.
You're thinking of a "Safe Depository" which is for storing customer's valuables. The money is in a vault but in most larger banks it's usually in one you don't see, typically it's underground, and referred to as "The Cash Room" or something like that. But at night you don't think they leave all the money in the teller drawers, do you? They put it somewhere else, like, oh, say, a big room with a large locked door like a VAULT, maybe?

I wouldn't be able to; it's not BIG enough anymore!

I'm with you, right up until the MyCleanPC motherfuckers start spamming the forums.
'Nuff said.

Thank you!
That's what I said originally. Sheesh.
I haven't "contradicted" myself at all. You in fact support and echo my argument.
I just didn't use the proper term "parse" vs. "recognize", I now realize they are SO different, I should have known better!
Thanks for the pedantic correction, and for missing my point entirely. Well done, sir!

Lame First aside, actually it is.

It does, but only as it relates to the bottom line.
Low productivity = Low bottom line = Management bitched out by upper Management (or company goes bust)
So, yeah, they do, but only to the extent it keeps their asses covered (or in business).

The really scary part is he's probably not in a nuthouse.
He's walking the streets somewhere, impersonating a member of society...

Yes, that's how the Nazis will control society, through the careful rationing and control of airline food.

Chicago Tribute? LOL! How appropriate for such a corrupt city!
There is a newspaper called the Chicago Tribune, I think that's what they meant...
It's been done. Here's the prior art:
