You are kidding right? If you buy a porsche you have decided to buy a drivers car
Doesn't change the fact that most of them still putt along in rush hour traffic the same speed as a Camry or Civic.
Unless you spend a lot of the time on a track (which let's face it next to nobody does), then the concept of a "sports car" is an oxymoron.
If you actually want to go fast on a public road, get a bike.
Not all feminists believe the way you seem to think they do. That says more about you than them, unfortunately, and it's not good for you.
Actually it say more about you, since he never said "all" feminists.
Just like when I say 'the football fans went nuts and caused a riot', it doesn't mean every single person in the world who has ever watched football caused a riot.
That devalues the concept of an idea and intellectual property on the whole.
Does it? the whole idea of "Intellectual Property" is to give the creator time to develop, market and possibly profit from new ideas. If you aren't using it then it defeats the purpose of the protection, since all you are doing is stopping others from developing similar new ideas.
Use it or lose it seems like fair approach.
So what is the alternative? Apple is too strict, Android is too loose. In desktop land we have Windows which sits in the middle of Apple and Linux, but unfortunately this is not a viable option in mobile land.
Is it that difficult to see that one company would rather sell you a cheap device that serves plenty of ads and the other would rather you pay a premium for a device that will block all the ads?
But where is that third option, a premium device with no ads or tracking, that I can do what I want with?
Up to the owner of the bandwidth/spectrum to decide. At least as long as they have ad-blockers installed.
In cases of public spectrum it's going to be based on majority (in the long run, NPR notwithstanding). One of the downsides of democracy.
This is not a downside, the downside is lack of funding to ensure the majority have a sufficient education to tell the difference. Once you reach that point, democracy fixes everything else.
Indeed and that is why I support closing down through roads to rat-running, allowing only bikes and pedestrians through to encourage cycling and walking and to reduce injuries and deaths from unnecessary traffic around where people live.
Only some roads? Why not all? If it's unsafe why do you accept that in some places and not others?
Those bikes and pedestrians will also operate at some speed (otherwise they won't move). Can't some pedant then apply your same speed kills "logic" to your same solution until no-one moves ever?
The simple fact is there are far too many serious injuries and deaths here in the UK and the US is twice as bad, so 30mph isn't suitable in residential area here, note - higher speeds on some main roads is ok depending on circumstances. Some London Boroughs have changed to 20mph and life goes on.
You're failing this logic thing again.
How many is too many?
Why isn't 30mph suitable?
What is a suitable speed?
What method do you use to determine this?
Can't then your same argument be used against any number you come up with?
Higher speeds are ok when?
By what definition?
I really think you should change name, because it's very misleading. Unless it's some kind of irony that I've missed.
Crashing isn't the point in a residential neighborhood. In that kind of a situation, things change rapidly -- one moment you're gunning down the street seeing nothing in front of you, the next moment a pet or a kid has run out in the street.
And if that were the case, there would be documented accidents. And you could measure those rates against such claims. Since that isn't the case, "reckless" is a description that exists only in your head, which the scientific method has proven time and time again to be flawed.
Ah, the "because science -- shut up" meme has reached the reckless driving community.
There is a reckless driving "community"? Interesting...
Since you went there, please do be so kind as to point us to the vast body of peer-reviewed literature on the subject. Thanks.
Sure
When you work it out, come back and we'll discuss further....
If you want to limit your candidate pool you should at least use a measure that increase the odds of getting someone with some desirable trait. Which is probably why one of the first requirements to be an officer in all branches is a college degree.
This seems equally arbitrary. I know plenty of smart, natural leaders who never finished University (and if you need independent references, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates etc). In fact I'd go so far as to say that in the last couple of decades, University seems to churn out more mindless robots than leaders these days.
I'm not worried about the 3D gun printing, I'm more worried about the Slashdot submission editing.
I think we all know how 3D printing works now, do you we need be constantly reminded every fucking week? Is Slashdot owned by someone with financial interest in a 3D printing cartel or something?
You're missing the point. Rights exist, naturally. They are not "given to you" by a government.
What a load of shit.
Without a government, you have no rights. Go live in a jungle sometime if you need a real world example. Animals rape, murder and steal from other animals whenever they feel like it, and none of them have rights.
Without a government, a society, a rule of law, etc there is no such thing as 'rights'.
My last car had an engine idle speed around 7-8mph, meaning it was not possible to drive 5mph at all. Simply letting up on the break and not touching the gas at all would result in the car moving faster than 5.
You realise the brake is not an on/off switch right? You can apply and release it gradually...
I had some kid run out in front of the car and the fact that I was only doing 15mph instead of the limit of 30mph is what stopped the kid from ending up dead or in hospital, the speed difference gave me the reaction time and stopping distance needed to avoid hitting the kid - with all of a few inches spare.
Actually if you had been going 30mph you would have been way past the end of the street before the kid ever ran out. Maybe if you we're doing 16mph you would've hit him. Had you been doing 100mph you would've been home by the time he walked out his front door so at zero risk of you running him over.
So yeah, going much faster or slower would both have helped in this example, only going a specific speed around 16-18mph would've caused any issues.
I am one of those people who think speed limit changes are an issue. A city or town or highway should have consistent, predictable speed limits, so drivers "know" how fast they should be going, and can intuitively know how fast they are actually driving.
I ignore speed signs. I drive as fast as I want and seem to have managed to get by without any major accidents in nearly 30 years of driving/riding.
And don't confuse "I drive as fast as like" with "I drive like a lunatic", I believe awareness is the biggest asset in road safety, so that means never taking you eyes off the road. Fuck the speed signs, or the speedo, monitor every other moving object like a CS enemy about to shoot you and you'll get by fine.

The posted speed is often arbitrary....
Or, are you just afraid of speed period?
You can't win with these people. They've swallowed the dogma and no amount of logic will change their minds.
Wow..where do you live where traffic is THAT bad?
And when leaving out, on the highways, I had no problem getting up to 100+ from time to time and stretching it out.
Yeah but my point was that I can do that on almost every street on my bike, and I don't have to slow down for traffic.
: to what extent does having all of the solar panels mounted vertically affect their efficiency?
Granted, it looks cool,
I think you've answered your own question.
Porsche is clearly going for form over function.
"capable of generating up to 30,000 kilowatt hours of electricity per year"
This is an average power of 3.42 kW for those who hate people who twist units to create big, impressive sounding metrics.
Or closer to 9kW per 8 hour day.
but plastering those same solar panels onto the roof would work considerably better still)
But then no-one can see them, and as we know Porsche is more about form over function.
Almost every single friend of mine that owns a Porsche tracks it.
Cool story, but hardly indicative of all Porsche owners globally...

Activities after rape should not be used to determine if rape occurred.
Since when is less information better than more information when determining the truth?

Read the summary as if, like me, you have no idea what 'TPP' is or means.
Editorial fail.

Well, which parts are "important"?

But logically correct, yet you still can't bring yourself to accept it. Maybe you should change your name to MrIde0logy instead?
Indeed and that is why I support closing down through roads to rat-running, allowing only bikes and pedestrians through to encourage cycling and walking and to reduce injuries and deaths from unnecessary traffic around where people live.

I really think you should change name, because it's very misleading. Unless it's some kind of irony that I've missed.
Judging by the tens of thousands of life-changing aka serious injuries,
Which were caused by what? (And don't say speed, unless you really honestly know what you are talking about)
the chance of being hit is far too high.
Compared to what? No speed? Makes it hard to get anywhere without moving.
And BTW you fail to even understand what logical thinking is.
Oh I think I have it covered. For example just making a blind statement isn't logic...
