3MHz is enough for people who don't watch much video. The bigger problem with DSL is its short usable range from the switch. Most rural farmhouses are not in DSL switch range even though the copper is there.
I didn't want to give up our firearms, we were compelled to on a wave of media hand wringing. The Port Arthur massacre was the impetus and it was conducted with an illegal firearm.
My criterion for the validity of the massacre argument for banning guns is that I would consider it a valid point the first time a gun were found to be autonomously walking around and firing at people.
I don't know what the stats are in Australia, but the problem in the US that we have no commonsense controls on the mentally ill. They can walk around wherever they want to, piling up in our cities as the "homeless problem," setting wildfires in the countryside, and annoying your children at public parks and libraries. Once we had mental hospitals where we could institutionalize people who would be a problem on the street. Even the assault mentally ill, those with high-capacity legal files of antisocial offenses, go free. All the rest of us can do is wait until the next one snaps.
The problem is that about half the people vote for these asshats and actually agree with them.
There's an easy fix for that. Remove SSL from all Australian commercial websites, and enjoy the pandemonium as everybody gets hacked and loses their bank accounts and credit cards. Any public perception that encryption is only for the benefit of criminals and terrorists will quickly fade.
I'm submitting expense reports for last weeks trip to Tulsa (for example) and I'm making travel arrangements for next week's trip to Fort Wayne even though THIS week I'm in the Minneapolis area. There are many times when I'm at home and it feels strange.
The time home really felt strange was when you called your wife by the wrong name.
Moving companies will have to stop losing peoples' furniture and ripping us off with unannounced extra charges. After all those years of coasting, they will have to work for our business once again.
Strangely, there seemed to be an unusual number of monarchs here in SW BC. Usually just see the odd one, this year they seemed to be everywhere in late spring, never saw so many. I don't know if ours migrate or not.
Those are the ones that usually summer in Pismo Beach. This year, they have gone to Canada in protest of Trump's policy on refugees.
Yes, this actually happened, and just up the road from me. He was an unsuccessful, mentally disturbed artist. But before you get all European and superior on us gun-toting Americans, at least he wasn't piloting a planeload of innocent victims from Barcelona to Düsseldorf.
Imagine a driver that had a sudden heart attack and died. I assume that a car that keeps driving, with a dead man behind the wheel, is preferable to a car veering wildly into traffic.
Hence my comment above.
In my town we recently had a driver shoot himself in rush-hour traffic. His pickup veered across the center line and wiped out a whole family on the other side.
...realise that anti-science part of green movement is quite awful, and maybe even learn enough basic human courtesy to apologise for being an asshole in addition to being wrong on basic facts.
Until then, I fully expect you to spout your inane anti-science dogma as AC. Break a leg.
I'm a leading critic of this effect myself, but since we have only just started to identify microplastics in the human body the science isn't in yet on what effect it might be having in there. Is it dissolving? What might it be releasing? We can't assume it's harmless.
It's just like energy or climate: let science characterize the problem, and then stand aside and let engineers fix it.
The 'shoeshine boy indicator' is a pretty reliable tell for when an investment mania is reaching exponential bubble status.
Look not just at Bitcoin, but at all the other cryptocurrencies (over 900 of them last time I checked!) that have been launched for people who think they missed the boat on Bitcoin when it was selling so high a year or so back. The crash will start on these 'alt-coins' first. We will find that a lot of people effectively borrowed against Bitcoin positions to "invest" in alt-coins. When these become worthless, Bitcoin itself will fall.
What do I mean my "effectively borrow?" Although you can't actually pledge a Bitcoin position as collateral to a bank, the wealth effect you feel when you have a large position in BTC has caused people to borrow on credit cards, car titles, etc. to fund alt-coin positions. In the aftermath, we will find that a shockingly large number of people did that.
Eisenhower presided over the McCarthy era and a lot of FBI abuses. He seems to have been a likable guy, but the best you can say is his eyes were half closed during his presidency.
I remember McCarthyism. Night after night of pundits representing the minority party that had run out of ideas accusing the President and his associates of being stooges for the Russians. Aren't we glad that era is long gone?
"It's no secret that humans -- noisy, messy creatures that we are -- are vastly altering Earth's environments." - They will never admit this for whatever reason. I guess to admit that puts them on the defensive?
Says the liberal who considers every trace of human activity, from convenience stores to Caravaggio, to be an abomination.
Put your money where you mouth is and go die in the woods where there are none. The said supermarkets and roads will have one consumer less to incentivize further expansion.
Be careful what you wish for. That's how we got the Unabomber.
I appreciate that search is paid for selling our search terms to advertisers. If it were a product we paid for instead, Google would chicken out and cancel it after the first sales month that wasn't a new high.
Remember how we used to hate it back in the nineteen hundreds when the US had only three TV networks, which had a habit of canceling any show that wasn't the national Neilsen leader by November? If Google had owned one of those networks back in the day, it would use the first dud show as an excuse to eliminate the whole concept of television - which its legal team could probably pull off.

In any country where you give up your guns, the rest of your freedoms will surely follow.

The Toyota solution: key required for the actual ignition. Problem solved.
And if it did, the problem with blockchain is that you have to wait a week before you know whether the transaction actually took place.
What are these âRepublicans â you speak of? Theyâ(TM)re gone now. Tumblr is afraid of being targeted by Pound Me Too.
So you're this Otto I keep hearing about - Otto Correct!

Stories of this kind from the 70s and 80s don't count. In those days, women wanted sex too.

They used a hack, not a specified override. Hacks can be misused by people outside the specified set of people who should be able to stop cars.

Emergency services should have an override on automated vehicles, specifically for situations like this.

It's the worst. Anyone who likes it on any level is a moron. That's why it's on Fox primetime...
BBT fan here. Actually it's on CBS.
Only if their findings donâ(TM)t correspond with your preconceived position.

A group of researchers found three unrelated families where individuals had mitochondrial DNA from both parents.
Hmm ...
Next, we'll have to study some families outside of Kentucky. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
