So, probably 90% of the thieving hoodlums caught on Ring cameras in my area are white. That's probably because the demographics in my area are probably 70% white, and the next 25% (Filipinos, Japanese, Koreans, and Vietnamese) seem to have strong family structures and raise their kids to be fairly law abiding.
I think this is in reference to a piece of software, but to the hardware device known as a "word processor". They were basically mini-computers that booted directly into a word processing application (and had no other software applications), and had a build-in printing device and sometimes a built-in monitor. They were still being sold in the late-1980s, maybe even the first couple years of the 1990s, but were substantially less expensive than a PC & printer (that is, during the 1980s).
So, these guys have sent me mailers on around 5 different occasions with an actual dime attached asking for donations (I have not donated to them before, but they probably picked up my name and address from one or another multi-org cheritable donation campaigns I have donated through). $0.10 given out to huge numbers of people adds up fast! This has to be the financially stupidest way possible to try to get to new donations.
I've seen this in my area as well, which is substantially less populous than San Francisco. I'm pretty sure they are taking names off official survey/plot maps, but often these names have fallen in disuse for a century or more. For example, the Google Maps "neighborhood" name nearest my home is in the description on the deed to my home, but is nowhere else: not my housing development, post office branch, census tract, voting precinct, street signs, school district, "common knowledge" neighborhood name, nor anything like that.
I've been stuck with Comcast. I've always used my own router, and more recently started using my own cable modem. After bumping into this sort of crap -years- ago, I stopped using their Domain Name Servers, and set my router to use the OpenDNS servers. (Yes, I know they got bought up by an "evil corporate entity", so I'm willing to consider suggestions for new alternatives, but I haven't settled on another, yet.)
Back in my day, we wore our own holes into our own jeans and we liked it! Now, GET OFF MY LAWN! **presses play on a cassette deck loaded with the Nevermind album**
The touchpad on the MacBook line is multi-touch capable, as is the BlueTooth touchpad that comes with the iMac line. I'm not sure if the MacPro line comes with the BlueTooth touchpad.
That number 1200mg sounds like ridiculously high dosage, until you realize it's typical for U.S. military physicians to prescribe a dosage of an 800mg pill x 3-4 times/day. Same goes for discharged veterans getting medical care from VA hospitals.
I went this way a couple years back as I got tired of spending ~$40 on print cartridges (because the old ones were dry) every time I wanted to print something (maybe 3-4 times a year, these days). Also, with a laser print out you can do a toner transfer from paper to other media, which enables you to make masks for hobby projects like custom printed circuit boards or artistic wood burning (pyrography).
I'm guessing you mean modern oranges grow to the size of modern grapefruit... because old-style grapefruit is dang near the size and shape of a rugby ball or American football (secondary school size, not professional). Modern grapefruit are a result of crossbreeding with oranges to get the size down and to make them sweeter.
That is not a case of ending a sentence in a preposition;really, it is a case of ending a sentence in a separable prefix of a verb. It is a hold out from the older days of the English language, reinforced with the linguistic tendencies of Germanic-language immigrants (where verbs with separable prefixes are common) to North America.
For a speed comparison, it's traveling about twice as fast as the New Horizons probe was at the Jupiter gravity boost (22.85 km/s heliocentric), and about three times as fast as New Horizons is traveling right now (14.22 km/s heliocentric), a bit passed Pluto's orbit at 39.78 AU. It's taken New Horizons just about 4399 days (about 3 months short of 12 years) to get to that distance. Verdict: this extrasolar asteroid will still be within our solar system for quite some time.
How about just an exponential cooldown timer that increases after every failed attempt, that ignores input during the cooldown period. Start the timer after the first failed attempt at 0.5 seconds, then 1, 2, 4, 8...
An automated attack might even guess it right during the cooldown period, but getting a negative result, would discard the correct password.
On my 1440p 5" smartphone screen... 480p looks "chunky", as that upscales to 3px by 3px blocks. The difference between 720p and 1080p is far less obvious, however, so I won't complain about 720p if the content was recorded in 720p or better.
Also former Army here, and I have been to "the sandbox". If you keep drinking water so you keep sweating, you can take it longer than you think. You also need to balance your electrolyte intake, since sweat is pretty salty. By experience around 3 parts plain water to 1 part (pre-mixed) Gatorade/Poweraid seems to work okay. You can keep moving, just not very quickly for very long. Think 5-10 minutes of work, then 10-20 minutes of break.
In places like the Middle East or Central Asia, you regularly get subjected to working temperatures higher than this record. For weather stations to measure "official" temperatures, they are not permitted to be ground coverings like sand or asphalt underneath the thermometer... but if you're working someplace where it's raw, sandy desert with no vegetation and no shade... yeah, it gets a hell of a lot hotter than this "record temperature".
Just build a gigantic tower PC with full water cooling rig, in a case with no good grip points, then strap it to the leg of your desk with plumber's tape and screws with security torx heads.
But how many people actually hook up a landline phone to the VOIP port on the cable modem? Comcast, for example, charges more for internet+cable TV if you don't take the service package that also includes the bundled VOIP service, so a lot of us take the three-service package, and never hook up the landline phone. (It also gives the scammers one more number to waste their time calling, but will never be picked up.)
I live in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where we have trees, trees, and more trees. If we lose power, it's most often because a tree fell down through the power lines, which continues downward and breaks any telephone and cable service copper and fiber optic lines that are below the power lines. So, yeah, the cell phone towers with backup power (many with microwave LOS relays) prove far more reliable, even if fuel for their backup generators is limited.
It looks like they are really talking about pop music as a genre here, as the year end Billboard Top 10 usually only includes maybe one or two songs total from rock, hip-hop, country, etc.
But, if you want to talk fast songs, you would be hard pressed to beat the Power Violence sub-genre (it's kind of like a blend of hardcore punk and metalcore with the tempo taken to the max, with a song structure of "Verse 1 and done"). 23 seconds for the whole song is about the upper limit there... anything longer and a power violence drummer would probably have a heart-attack! (Disclaimer: I don't actually enjoy Power Violence. If you wish to learn more about it, you can use the internet to go afflict yourself with it.)
CS teargas looses effectiveness after repeated exposures, such as the training the U.S. Army puts every soldier through at least once per year (if not significantly more often). The shooter was a former soldier (I refrain from calling him a "veteran", as he deserves to be struck from the rolls and his name forgotten), so teargas immunity is a required tactical assumption.

Let's take an even better example... my reciprocating saw (a.k.a. "sawzall") and other corded power tools.

Energy Star probably should have been under NIST (National Institute of Standards and Testings, Dept. of Commerce), anyway.
