I did that last year too. I went to some very poor places that were pretty isolated. Often I was in a room where the only furniture was a table, a lamp, stools, and a 42" flatscreen. Familys will make big sacrifices for the flatscreen and it always ran.
The argument I heard was that explosive carrying capacity is low, since the payload needs to be concealed. Thus, it could breach the fuselage if pressed against it when detonated but is unlikely to do so from the cargo hold. Either because the cargo hold is reinforced or because odds are it won't be close enough to the outer wall of the aircraft.
I think all this is an over reaction, but the above is how the thinking process apparently goes.
Are you saying it *runs* at 5 FPS or it skips that many frames per second? On my integrated graphics laptop it feels like 30 FPS. Maybe better. It's as smooth as I remember it being in the past, anyway.
I do shudder a bit to think where it will all lead eventually, but the change has been going on for an incredibly long time (likely over a century) so to attribute it to services and companies that have only existed for a decade or two is rather nonsensical.
I wouldn't worry too much, these trends are apparently based on very mainstream stuff. "Hit songs" as the TFA puts it. There'll always be niches where these trends don't hold sway.
You're right, of course. I think I'm biased against LabVIEW because I really hate programing in it: pretty much everything about the experience annoys me. In addition, it's too easy to write shit code in LabVIEW. If you work with people who aren't disciplined programmers and you give them LabVIEW, horrible things happen. If you give those same people Python or MATLAB the consequences are less disturbing.
I can see that LabVIEW would be amazing for knocking up a quick GUI to get something done, but it's not for me. Thankfully there are DAQmx wrappers that allow people like me to use the NI hardware in a variety of languages without resorting to LabVIEW.
The easiest coding language I've learned is likely still Labview. The nice thing about labview is drag and drop goodness, and excellent debugging tools.
Interesting, I've had completely the opposite experience of LabVIEW. I fnd it clunky to program in, and hate debugging it.
Not being able to hear what's going on around you is just IMHO silly.
Given the general level of background noise in busy cities, coupled with the fact that most cars made in the past 2 decades are pretty damn quiet when not accelerating (where the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities occur), I highly doubt this makes a difference.
I don't doubt it at all. When I walk with noise-caceling headphones around town I really feel the difference in terms of knowing what's around me. I make a habit of being much more cautious about turning my head fully to look around and checking twice. I would never ride a bicycle with those things. I see others doing it, though.
I remember a red-light camera in Queens where the amber was unusually short, about half as long as normal, so it would turn red when you didn't expect it to and you ended up with a ticket.
The only bit I don't quite understand is why they don't piece together some completely mammoth DNA, and try to grow that in an artificial uterus? What would the additional complications be, beyond hacking together an elephant-mammoth hybrid like they propose?
I think because there is no confidence that we have an error-free mammoth genome. So it seems much more likely that modifying the elephant genome will yield success.
As the CNN megapixel graphic showed, the Trump crowd was larger than reported. This seems a silly thing to fight over, since Trump's supporters are less likely to attend an inauguration than a rally anyway.
Are they actually selling for that? Those are all "buy it now", so it could be that they're all chancers and are having a hard time selling. There are no auctions.
No thanks. The wire on wired headphones has never been a problem, and adding one more thing to my kit that needs recharging is undesirable. As is a dongle. As are earphones that aren't plug-compatible with airline entertainment and other phone-jack systems.
If I know I'll be sitting down at my desk then wired is not an issue. But wireless has it place. e.g. If I'm moving around doing manual work then it's very pleasant to be able to put my phone on a shelf and move freely around the room. No wires to snag and no fumbling in a pocket to change tracks, etc. Another good use is TV: I get it via a PC connected to a flat-screen. If I want to watch something and not disturb the wife, I can use the wireles headphones.
If the computer dies, the monitor is still just fine and dandy, and can quite often be swapped into another bezel (or be ballsy and build a custom PC case with the monitor as a side-panel. Kits exist for this exact thing and they're like $30.)
Only a tiny proportion of consumers will do that. The rest will chuck it and buy another.
I heartily recommend avoiding subscription services like the plague.
Some subscription services offer a sufficient net benefit that I can overlook issues such as disappearing content. I subscribe to Spotify and it's been enormously beneficial for my musical appreciation on various levels. Yes, every two or three months I notice something on my list is no longer there. Sometimes it re-appears again, sometimes not. If I really miss that content, I can always purchase it.
I agree that I wouldn't trust a service-based backup system. Neither do I make serious use of Google's services such as Keep, or the office stuff, since I don't know if they'll still exist in two or three years. With cellphone, home internet and TV there is little choice but to go for a subscription. That said, when I next move I will switch those services to a smaller companies with a track record of providing good support and not being dicks.
Doesn't matter. The haters make up their own reality where everything Apple sells is crap, and people only buy it because they are somehow hypnotized by the shiny. I predicted that the average user will be quite happy with their iPhone 7, and won't care about the jack. I predicted that the average user will be quite happy with the new MacBook, and don't care that it's not cutting edge enough. No matter what Apple creates or sells, or how well it sells, the complaints are the same. So no, reality doesn't matter.
At some point it will catch up. For instance, I'm likely going to get the new Macbook Pro via my company. But I wouldn't pay for it myself and I'm already considering what machine to jump I might jump ship to in two or three years time if Apple continue as they are.
status as the only English speaking country in the EU after the UK leaves the trading bloc...
The Netherlands, Luxembourg, and basically half of Europe under the age of 30 would take issue with this statement. And I'll be damned if the Dutch aren't easier to understand than the Irish when speaking English... or even when speaking Dutch.
The summary obviously means English as a dominant language. If you're a native English speaker there's a difference to living in a country where English is widely spoken compared to one where it's the dominant language.
Teens shouldn't vote. We already have an excess of emotion and hormones at the voting booth including some aging slashdotters. Voting should be based upon rational evaluation of verifiable facts. Anyone who gets their information from sources biased in only one direction should be disqualified.
I have no data, but my hunch this that most people get their information from sources biased in one direction. People tend to seek out views similar to their own and all news media are biased to some degree (although where the bias manifests will be different between media sources). I'm not sure what the solution is.

If you have access to a even a modest sized telescope it's possible to see details on the ISS. I've seen the solar panels on visually with a 10" reflector.

Scrolly-zooming is working for me. Seems smooth on a recent Macbook.
I wish malls would play nothing at all.
Indeed, a lot of people seem to use Youtube primarily as a music source. It's free and you don't need an acount.

I'm sure this depends on the city and how busy the road is. I live in a smallish city and I can definitely hear nearby threats much of the time.

I personally had three teeth pulled with only a mild hypnotic sedation.
No local anesthetic?
Ctrl-F5 doesn't refresh the cache on a Mac. That's "Cmd (Apple) + Shift + R”

Really, though, why does this matter at all? Hint: it doesn't. The fuss over this was generated to take some attention away from the rally on the next day. This administration will seek to control journalists by distracting them and diluting their ability to ask the tough questions.
They are selling for as much used as I paid for them new 25 years ago. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html...

1) iPad Pro: Meh. 2) Apple Watch: Meh. 3) MBP 2016: Meh 4) iPhone 7: Meh 5) Airpods?
I'm going to go with "Meh".
That's unfair, the MacBook Pro is doing really well.
