It started out as a small paved road, then turned to dirt, then got bigger and bigger ruts--and with nowhere to turn around. And all the while, google is telling me I'm headed in the right direction.
A single button that, if hit, would reboot the system???? That's is the stupidest shit I've ever heard. If you hit it by accident, goodbye to your work. Remember that when you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL in DOS, it didn't even give you a prompt to shut down, it just rebooted. Who in their right mind would want that in a single key??
I'm going to hack mine to allow permanent offline play of my games, without it ever needing to check in with the Valve server gain. Gabe says its okay, right?
I've had Google Navigate fuck up more than a few times too. I was on a military base one time and it took me out on what I can only guess was some sort of tank trail (not having a 4-wheel drive, I almost got stuck a few times). All this to get to a main road that it turned out actually *intersected* with the main road that I was on when Navigate decided to take me out on a long country drive through the swamp.
So you've produced a prototype post, that may move into beta at an unspecified date, and may possibly make it to production at some time in the future?
Well, you had better give the engineers at Tesla a call. Because they're under the mistaken impression that the battery pack will last about 100,000 miles. Clearly, you need to set them straight.
As for the battery, from my research the cells should be good for at least 3000 full charge discharge cycles. If I'm extremely conservative in estimating 200 miles of range per charge (I get significantly more) that works out to 600,000 miles.
You honestly believe that you'll get 600,000 miles before having to change your battery pack in a Tesla?
I've got a friend who is the most deluded hippie I've ever met in my life. He's the kind of guy who thinks you could feed the entirety of New York City with just rooftop gardens (organic food only, of course--no GM). He thinks that being a vegan makes your dick bigger (I kid you not). He thinks that you could power the entire world with just a 2-square mile solar plant in Arizona.
And even *he* doesn't think that a Tesla is going to last 600,000 miles on one battery pack.
Nevermind, all of this is acceptable as long as a Democrat is running things.
I'm not sure what alternate universe you just came over from. But in this universe, most of us here on Slashdot have plenty of disgust with BOTH major political parties in the U.S., and their leaders. The closest thing to a consensus here is that the "Democrats" and "Republicans" are both just wings of the Corporationalist Party that really controls everything here now.
I didn't advocate censoring GTA V, I advocated parents doing their job and not buying it for their children. Pretty major distinction there. And I can assure you that GTA V has imagery quite comparable to a Saw movie (perhaps even more disturbing, since you're the one actually committing many of the torture sequences). But, hey, if you want to buy it for your kid, no one is stopping you.
On the basis that I'm a father, and I get to decide what my kid plays and watches and when he's old enough. If you want to expose your kids to hardcore porn and Saw movies at age 2--hey knock yourself out, pal. But I kind of like the idea of protecting my kid.
My daughter snuck and watched a horror movie one night on TV. She had nightmares for two weeks. Bullshit it doesn't have an effect. Just because you can let your kid do something doesn't mean you should.
It matters because I don't want my kid exposed to the world of evil shitheels before she's old enough to realize that it's not a good thing to be an evil shitheel. I want her to be old enough to have a foundation in decency before she's introduced to the world of indecency. I don't want her introduced to crime before she's old enough to understand that crime has consequences. That's called "good parenting," (as opposed to "shit parenting") of course.
No, your kid is probably not going to be "irreparably mentally harmed" from being exposed to violent video games too early. But there is such a thing as exposing a kid to shit that they're too young to handle (or understand). And that's not a good thing.
A kid's innocence is a precious thing, and it's a shame to squander it too early. That doesn't mean I want to have my 12-year-old still believing in Santa Claus, but I also don't want him introduced to the ugly world of violent crime, drugs, and prostitution while he's still in kindergarten either.
He's no more a pedophile than Julian Assange and Dominique Strauss-Kahn are rapists. That's just something they set you up on when they want to discredit you in the public eye, force you out of public office, and/or get you to talk.

Well, at least the kids are learning something from their iPads, though it's not the lessons the schools intended.
Is the power button located on your keyboard?
Permanent offline mode?

Whoever did it had illegal insider info and probably thought that no one would notice a few milliseconds.

They probably had several conflicting lies, and changed their position every few minutes.

Then try protecting your kid from censorship and arbitrary value judgements.
...says the censor who won't let his kids watch Saw movies.
Write me back when you're a parent. I suspect you'll understand my perspective a little better.
On what basis do you make this value judgement?
On the basis that I'm a father, and I get to decide what my kid plays and watches and when he's old enough. If you want to expose your kids to hardcore porn and Saw movies at age 2--hey knock yourself out, pal. But I kind of like the idea of protecting my kid.
GTA V has plenty of both.
Am I the only one reading this as "I'm not a parent"?

No mom, this isn't one of those bad videogames. Trust me.
Either guts, or he didn't like the idea of some Mossad agent slapping a magnetic bomb to hist car and blowing him to shit. One of those two.
