Sure, ABS is often nice, mainly because I don't get on brake pedal per wheel. There are also times when I am a bit more tired than I ought to be.
This is why I say that disabling ABS should involve a "hold button" that makes the car stop doing the automatic stuff. If you let go of the button, the ABS goes back on. Tie in the automatic transmission as well.
The "could come here for 3 months" part is a problem. If they fail to find a job, good luck finding them!
No, you need to have a job lined up before you come here. You also need to know English well enough to properly deal with a car loan, an apartment lease, a credit card agreement, and all the typical employment-related agreements. These two things are critical. English ability is especially important when importing people who would be likely to isolate themselves in an ethnic ghetto; it's not a big issue with people coming from uncommon origins.
We might also ask that people be free of contagious or serious disease, be drug-free, and know some basic math.
On old asphalt streets, possibly of low quality, the road material (sand, grit, gravel, whatever) comes loose and tends to collect at intersections. I've seen it over an inch deep. People are often expected to stop at intersections.
Then there are gravel roads and dirt roads. Here too, ABS can increase stopping distance. Without ABS, the surface material piles up in front of the tire and the tire digs deep into the road.
a. young MAN, not MEN b. daughter has reached full size c. young man is in good condition d. young man intends to keep her e. young man would make a good husband, father, and son-in-law
a. disables ABS b. disables automatic transmision gear changes c. disables stability control
Put that where I can operate it easily in a stressful situation, and I'll be really happy. The ABS can save me if I'm not paying attention, but I can take control when I expect the car to misbehave.
These are publicly traded corporations. Their contracts should damn well be public.
For everyone else, a non-public contract should be viewed by the courts as highly suspect. The existance of secret contracts exposes people to fraudulent modification of the contracts. If it's not public, it should be damn difficult to enforce.
You use the mainframe when you want error recovery at every step of the way. One of them even runs two CPU pipelines in lockstep so that a failing CPU can be safely isolated without crashing the app that was running on it.
The mainframe also gives you nice IO and super-efficient virtualization.
Workload doesn't need all that? Gee, maybe it's not a workload for the mainframe.
Somehow, you got two different types of crappy bulb. Most brands include both crappy and non-crappy types.
You can get CF bulbs with that icky yellow incandescent look if you really want them. Ever notice the GE Reveal bulb though? That's an incandescent bulb with a blue coating to make it more like a nice CF bulb! Next time you are out at noon on a clear day, please note the color of natural sunlight. It's like a CF bulb.
60 seconds is an awfully long time. Mine are instant as far as I can tell.
You can use a dimmer, if you buy the CF bulbs that are meant for dimmers. Read the labels next time.
BTW, the cheap CF bulbs also flicker at 50 or 60 Hz, depending on your country. The good CF bulbs are up in the tens of kHz, far beyond what can affect humans. (the very fastest nerve cycle time is 1 kHz)
Pure metalic mercury isn't all that bad. We don't absorb it all that well. Romans used to drink it as a supposed cure for baldness.
Out in the environment though, there are bacteria that process mercury. The mercury ends up in a super-toxic form called dimethyl-mercury. This washes out into the ocean. Critters get mercury into them. Their bodies concentrate it. As critters eat other critters, the mercury gets way more concentrated. We happen to think the larger critters, such as tuna and swordfish, are quite yummy.
Mercury does nasty things to your mind and to your immune system, among others.
Walmart ruins most meat by injecting 5% to 15% of some weird "broth" to cheat on the weight. I guess they couldn't ruin the fish that way, but now they've managed to ruin the fish too! Damn them to Hell. Fish used to be good to eat.
Consider machine W. It costs 87 million dollars. It weighs 112 tons and occupies a large dedicated building. The thing has superconducting magnets bathed in liquid helium. The victim must be given drugs to paralyse the body, then have their skull screwed into a metal frame to keep it perfectly still. The victim must be injected with a mildly harmful substance. Numerous technicians are required to operate the device. Result: the device is used on suspected spies and terrorists.
Consider machine X. It costs 6 million dollars. It weighs 5 tons and occupies a dedicated room. The thing has superconducting magnets bathed in liquid nitrogen. The victim must lie still inside a cramped tunnel. A technicians is required to operate the device. Result: the device is used for government clearances, some major business contracts, and occasionally for employment decisions.
Consider machine Y. It costs 20 thousand dollars. It weighs half a ton and occupies as much space as two home refrigerators. Any decently bright person can operate the device after watching a 30-minute instructional video. Result: many businesses get one, a few well-off people get one, and everybody else has to rent one minute-by-minute.
Consider machine Z. It is built into a cell phone for an extra 60 dollars. It provides a simple bar chart to indicate strength of "lie" and "non-lie" signals. It can operate quietly, up to 3 feet away from the victim's head. Result: we all check everybody.
You can certainly get YOUR OWN cookies using wget. You may then use wget to break into your own account. You can even create defective cookies, which can be used for some fun at horrifically-designed web sites.
You don't get to run wget from within a browser belonging to somebody else, which is where you need to do the spoofing if you want to grab contacts info from somebody else.
I spoof the referrer all the time, using the "wget" command. That does no good for attacking gmail though, because how am I to get the required cookie?
The spoof would have to work from Javascript or Java, creating connections on behalf of the user. Merely opening a TCP/IP socket won't do, because you'd not be able to shove the cookie down the wire.
What, we must install an OS from Blu-ray or HD-DVD now?
FYI, a cheap and semi-compatible (single-layer, single-side) DVD is something like 2 to 5 GB depending on type.
Normal OS installs are meant to work from CD media, which is about 700 MB. Often, the install is meant to run from a ramdisk.
Storage space isn't the only problem here. Reading all that data takes time.
Even if I do have well over 100 GB of drive space, I'd rather not devote a few percent of that to firmware for devices I don't even own. In other words, these manufacturers are collectively stealing a few percent of my disk space.
For an OS to drive the hardware, it has to include the firmware. That's no serious problem for driving a few devices after you've installed the OS.
Problem is, the OS doesn't just support YOUR devices. It has to support ALL devices, with ALL hardware revisions and board layouts. So, how many devices could exist...?
Now you're talking about real disk space. This could get into the gigabytes.
What about at install time? It's all going to have to fit.
Anything else would be really gross, and would risk numerous other diseases.
Now that we have food out of the way, that leaves cats. Cat elimination would greatly reduce the risk to my family. I particularly wish to eliminate the neighborhood cats that poop in my vegetable garden, because that is where my kids and I dig in the dirt with our hands -- as gardeners are apt to do, and no it isn't reasonable to use gloves when planting seedlings.
Gardeners are at increased risk.
Fix: use a box trap, then call animal control to eliminate the cat for good. (obviously an unloved stray, because of course any responsible animal owner would keep their cat inside to protect it from cars and dogs and raccoons)
As I recall, a telomere is a repeating sequence of DNA. Organisms with long telomeres would have a different average chemical content from organisms with short telomeres.
Maybe one or the other is better to eat. (BTW, maybe the clone is better!)

Have you never seen loose sand on the street?
On old asphalt streets, possibly of low quality, the road material (sand, grit, gravel, whatever) comes loose and tends to collect at intersections. I've seen it over an inch deep. People are often expected to stop at intersections.
Then there are gravel roads and dirt roads. Here too, ABS can increase stopping distance. Without ABS, the surface material piles up in front of the tire and the tire digs deep into the road.
I do, if:
a. young MAN, not MEN
b. daughter has reached full size
c. young man is in good condition
d. young man intends to keep her
e. young man would make a good husband, father, and son-in-law
Hand sanitizer would do it.
Call it "hold". While pressed, it:
a. disables ABS
b. disables automatic transmision gear changes
c. disables stability control
Put that where I can operate it easily in a stressful situation, and I'll be really happy. The ABS can save me if I'm not paying attention, but I can take control when I expect the car to misbehave.
(most common example: braking on loose sand)
On proper hardware, which is in fact usually a mainframe, Linux supports:
a. hot-add a CPU
b. hot-remove a CPU
c. hot-add RAM
d. hot-remove of most RAM
Linux will do that on any of:
a. bare zSeries mainframe hardware
b. a virtual machine (zSeries or PC)
c. to a limited extent on bare high-end server PC hardware and elsewhere

So you have a zero-day browser vulnerability that lets you see cookies from other sites. Good for you.
Mind sharing?
Your zero-day vulnerability is way bigger news than this gmail bug.
It varies.
For some devices it's just a killobyte. For some it's multiple megabytes.
As a rule, newer devices need bigger firmware.
Sometimes the firmware contains a whole OS.
I spoof the referrer all the time, using the "wget" command. That does no good for attacking gmail though, because how am I to get the required cookie?
The spoof would have to work from Javascript or Java, creating connections on behalf of the user. Merely opening a TCP/IP socket won't do, because you'd not be able to shove the cookie down the wire.

Who has the gmail cookie?
Who wants to do the spoofing?
How is the spoofer going to get the cookie?
Right...
Lots of ways:
a. Place a 128-bit random number (UUID/GUID) into the URL for the contacts info.
b. Check the referrer. (foreign javascript should not be able to forge this)
c. Place an encrypted copy of the cookie into the URL of the contacts info.
d. Embed the contacts info in the page instead.
Sure, I can hack the referrer to get into my own gmail account. Wooo, scary!
My browser should not grant this ability to random javascript it finds on the web.
Firmware is often large. Think "megabyte".
For an OS to drive the hardware, it has to include the firmware. That's no serious problem for driving a few devices after you've installed the OS.
Problem is, the OS doesn't just support YOUR devices. It has to support ALL devices, with ALL hardware revisions and board layouts. So, how many devices could exist...?
