Streaming video over in-flight WiFi? So this means I shouldn't check my notebook?
Sadly more and more people refuse to pay to check any bags, leading to flights over boarding first, massive problems in the overhead bins, high stress, and delayed flights.
seriously, a total ripoff. i'm surprised they don't start charging for overhead luggage space. although if you bring your stuff to the gate and there's no baggage bin room, they usually gate check it for free.
You completely misunderstand what this is about. The problem is that productivity is measured in number of publications, regardless of quality of said publications.
ok guy, what do you suggest as an alternative? because P is right, tenured professors make a lot of bank and some of them are really crappy and entitled. i await your solution to this problem.
What do you mean something about Cover Flow? That's just the way of browsing albums in iTunes, has nothing to do it actually quit playing music.!! I mean if you're saying that the new the new version of iTunes browses differently can your old one but you don't use iTunes to play songs you just use it stress your library and I guess what you're saying makes sense, but still kind of weird don't you

Let's posit that this was a civil action not a criminal action. at what point do actions like this become criminal? For this they took a payment system offline. what if they took the NYSE stock exchange offline? what if they took a powerplant offline? (this may require other tools not just DDOS, but let's assume it was also accomplished by a large group of people as a form of protest).
surely at some point it crosses the line to illegal actions. where is it?
Yes, this is the biggest issue. Mobile devices increase 50% in speed each year, while desktops are meeting everybody's needs so there's no reason to upgrade. My home laptop is four years old and showing no slowdown that impacts me. Work laptop is a little diff, because they always buy the cheapest hardware possible.
There are some task that are right for my computer! some tasks hath at are right for my tablet, some tasks that are right for my smartphone, NAND some tasks that are right for my game console. This isn't a problem.
separately, have you seen the pictures of the accident? it's literally wrapped around the tree. The tree extends to the middle of the passenger compartment. God bless the deceased, no disrespect intended, but I bet the fire played no role here. They were probably dead within 20ms.
true, but it's not fair to extend this to women drivers as an overall characterization. If you can show a study that women drivers are more dangerous then it is ok. I think the more apt statement is about teen drivers. they are more expensive to insure for that reason.
ok so you drive batshit on the racetrack but speed limits on the public roads? If so, thank you. If not, then you are unsafe and I hope you don't live nearby.
The kind of logic you and the GP are spouting is the kind of logic used by douchebags who use public roads as raceways - "hey, *I'M* a great driver, this is perfectly safe!
No, we all agree and are phrasing the same problem in different ways. Even if a driver perceives himself to be "skilled", there are reasons external to himself why it's not safe to drive like gran tourismo or GTA. thus people who argue that they should be allowed to drive 100+ are DBs.
i agree, an electric compressor is more efficient than a belt driven one. but sometimes the car gets effing hot! it's generally agreed that at 45mph it's more efficient to use AC than rolling down the windows, but obv this depends on car geometry. obv also at 200 mph air resistance dominates the other drag forces, so things you can do to limit it like keeping the windows up makes a big difference. but again when my friend takes his bmw out to laguna seca (he's an enthusiast who likes his car, not a sports driver by any means) they make him wear a helmet and roll down his window anyway.
conjecture. some people want it to be a mechanical failure to not damage their image of flawless race drivers like themselves. the crash analysis will reveal how fast the car was going, which says a lot about the driver decisions.
However 4-wheel drifting is fun, and pretty cool to watch.
I drift around corners all the time. IN GRAND THEFT AUTO! On the road I drive like a sane person, and expect others to do the same. when you're driving on private property then go nuts.
My ability has been proven through competition, no faith involved.
so you're the most dangerous driver on the road then. let me guess - I bet you can hold your liquor just fine too, and can drive after a night at the bar.
the weight is increasing because americans expect more performance from their cars. the average car today is 50% bigger than before because americans don't like tiny cars, and the hp has doubled partly to move the larger car but also because americans like oomph. the safety and environmental equipment are negligible.
disclaimer: I am american. I like big cars and I cannot lie. You other american's can't deny.
A skilled driver in an appropriate vehicle and good conditions could drive through town at 100+mph and not hit anything,
you're ignoring the biggest problem, that even if you're a skilled driver there are other idiots out on the road. so if you're going way too fast then the other idiots may hit you and not have time to react.

I've never owned anything in my life
stopped reading here... do we really need this commie stuff on this site? "internet" is an american word.
If there's organic matter on the surface, maybe it's a source of foods?i would be concerned that it would be too high in carbs.
Two layers of insulation? Push, I have three layers!
what is a burnout

or even better, how to get from point a to b when it requires 3 lines and two transfers. mixing bus and rail.

are these 14 people the lead organizers or instigators of the ddos, or just some kids who thought it would be cool but didn't hide their tracks etc?

I don't follow your logic. Perhaps I was being vague. by "this law" I mean the race-style driving, not the chip.
Actually, it's illegal to reprogram your chip as well, but for emissions reasons not safety reasons! That's outside the scope of this discussion.

this is why there's a flight school that focuses on the F16, designed to find the best of the best. also, shirtless volleyball.

It would be very unusual for a pro driver to put himself in a position where he could die in the most shameful way possible.
tell me more about this - I'm not familiar with racing culture. Is it shameful to die in a car crash? i assumed it was a blaze of glory thing.

+1 insightful POTD. Although I don't wish harm on the motorcycle guy.
