My favorite part of this story is that they're doing it so they can see the commercials. Cable company execs are probably losing their minds over this.
Every time an airline claims their policy is dictated by the TSA and it's not, they reduce respect for and confidence in the TSA. They're going to keep pulling this shit until they start getting some hefty fines, or the idiots behind it do some jail time.
Several sites and apps allow users to turn Spotify songs, YouTube videos and other streaming content into permanent files to store on phones and computers.
Considering that Sam Colt died a year and a half before Henry Ford was born, i think we can safely assume that Ford probably borrowed his idea from Colt.
Actually he got it at the Chicago stockyards.
The boss himself claimed to have found the inspiration for the greatest breakthrough of all, the moving assembly line, on a trip to Chicago: "The idea came in a general way from the overhead trolley that the Chicago packers use in dressing beef," Ford said. At the stockyards, butchers removed certain cuts as each carcass passed by, until nothing was left. Ford reversed the process.
3. Congress has also enacted other laws, allowing Congress to overturn a regulation on a simple majority vote expressing disapproval of that regulation, continuing to reserve the ability to undo those regulations.
So all the administration has to do is get a simple majority of Congress to vote to overturn the rule.
What's that? Congressmen don't want to go on the record voting to destroy the environment? Pity.
If your arguments are sound, they can stand on their own without emotionally manipulative language.
They'll stand on their own and not do anything. If you want to actually persuade people you need to connect to emotion. Psychologists have known for decades that people decide in seconds based on emotion, then find reasons to justify their decisions to themselves.
The only time pure reason wins is when you have no emotional investment. For instance choosing the right hard drive upgrade: What's the capacity, performance and price? That's all you need to know. But choosing a car? Most people (in America at least) have self-image about what kind of cars they'll even consider. That's why there are millions of "4x4 offroad" pickup trucks that have never been off pavement.
In this experiment they are basically jamming up the valence shells with photon wavepacket energy - the valence shells do not have time to "discharge" the energy before getting hit again, so they get overloaded in a sense.
I don't know enough physics to tell if that's a really great "layman's terms" explanation, or if it's Star Trek bullshit.
I'm pretty sure they have a way of tracking whether they came from the right place, and there are a few guys with missing fingers who can explain the penalties for trying to exploit the system.
I thought there were export controls on security/encryption software, specifically to prevent this technology from falling into the hands of international rivals.
This kind of wholesale sabotage isn't just about the defrauded companies who were injured by Comcast's actions, or the subscribers to those other companies who were disenfranchised and similarly defrauded [companies forced into liquidation aren't going to be able to offer refunds]. This is a test of the entire criminal justice system. This is a bell-weather indicator of whether or not there actually *is* justice today.
Tyranny doesn't start with prosecuting your enemies. It starts with not prosecuting your friends.
They were brighter, more focused and less bothered about fitting in -- according to the "Geek Index" devised by King's College London.
Maybe older dads care less about fitting in, and their kids learn to follow their own interests more. When I'm doing what I want I'm more focused because it holds my interest.
I often can't get a cellular connection inside of a store, especially if it's in a metal building.
"Often"? I've been in a LOT of stores and while there certainly are some dead zones, it's fairly uncommon. Certainly not enough of them to justify using in store Wi-FI.
Yes, often. I can get a signal if I have line-of-sight to the sky through the front windows. Once I'm far enough into the back that I can't see the windows it drops out. Maybe the stores are smaller where you are.
TL;DR don't get so overwhelmed trying to fix everything that you end up fixing nothing.
That's not a side-effect, that's the goal. If you want to keep a small problem from getting fixed, tell everyone who tries that they should instead focus on the larger problem.
I live in Nashville, we have both Google Fiber ($70/mo) and ATT Gigapower ($80/mo) both of which offer bidirectional 1Gb/s connections with no data limits.
And do you know why you have ATT Gigapower? Because you have Google Fiber.
ATT could bring Gigapower to me if they wanted to, but without competition from Google they have no incentive.
The problem with Japanese words is that you can't tell by their sound what you'll get. Any word may return results for some delicious sushi variant or some weird ass porn fetish you didn't even fathom possible.
However, it turns out that those phenomenal sales figures had as much to do with convenience as with environmental concerns: electric car dealers were for a long time spared the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine.
This is why you leave penny pinching idiots out of the decision making, because when all you see is cost, and don't properly evaluate the catastrophic losses in event of disaster, then you're just an idiot that nobody should listen to.
What catastrophic losses? They saved the fuel on all those flights that didn't happen, and I'm sure 90%+ of the tickets were non-refundable.
Shit, if I ran an airline I'd "accidentally" shut down one holiday weekend per year.
The worst case is women claiming to have been raped, when nothing like that happened. It is just far too easy to do and apparently many cannot resist.
I don't believe it's "many". Any woman claiming rape or workplace harassment is still put through so much shit that I don't think it's that appealing an idea to fake it.
What is more likely is that the real incidents sound so common and mundane that they don't make for a good story. The only time it gets picked up and reported is when the details are shocking or lurid, and of course the media plays up the most lurid details.
This means the stories that make the news are more likely to be exaggerated - or yes, outright false - than the average of the ones you don't hear about.

You mean "time shifting". This has been litigated already.
Overall usage of stream-ripping sites increased by 141.3 percent between 2014 and 2016, overshadowing all other illegal music services.
Except that this isn't actually illegal. So now I wonder how many other apps services are incorrectly called "illegal" by this group.

Sure, a pedo must never do it with an actual child, but what is the harm in doing it with a piece of silicon?
Are you kidding? That would hurt like hell. Doing it with silicone on the other hand is muy bueno.

So given the (theoretical) miracle of free market, where is non-TSA, pre-9-11 airport I can fly from?
All of them. Just charter a private jet.

Interesting that Microsoft comes out with this report just as Intel is throwing around some not-so-vague legal threats.

Frequently it will be both.
Telling a customer that the iPhone is faster than Android phones - which is true for some tests for some configurations - is "misleading" them.
Telling them that a repair isn't covered under warranty when it is, is lying. Which in this case makes it fraud.
However, it turns out that those phenomenal sales figures had as much to do with convenience as with environmental concerns: electric car dealers were for a long time spared the jaw-dropping import tax of 180 percent that Denmark applies on vehicles fueled by a traditional combustion engine.
That's not convenience, that's price.
The fact that they have an official "absence control program" tells you just about all you need to know.

http://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/11/science/undiscovered-bach-no-a-computer-wrote-it.html IN a low-key, musical version of the match between Garry Kasparov and the chess-playing machine called Deep Blue, a musician at the University of Oregon competed last month with a computer to compose music in the style of Johann Sebastian Bach.
How does that article not have links to the music? Oh wait, it's from '97.
