Well, if they're going to make it, they've certainly got a long way to go. I live in a moderately sized city and the only services they showed available in my area were "Equipment Assembly" and "Furniture Assembly." Real useful for someone too stupid to read IKEA instructions, I guess.
Well if you *really* want it, Windows 9 is available in that alternate universe where Justin Timberlake never left NSYNC. But no fucking way am I going there to get it.
Yep, and most still suck at basic walking. Even the Cujo requires a huge onboard computer just to walk. And good luck using it in a cramped space or trying to get it up a narrow set of stairs.
The proper response is "Oh sorry, I take this acronym for granted and forgot that general readers may not understand it," not a snide, dickhead response.
Here's an acronym that might benefit you though: LTW
Current robots have a hard time navigating even the most basic terrain. It seems highly unlikely to me that a ground-based robot would be of any use in a burning building full of completely unpredictable and changing debris, tight spaces, random layout, etc. I doubt the prototype shown could even climb a stair, much less climb over debris.
A very small "robot" controlled by a human (aka a glorified RC helicopter) may be of some use in surveying the situation, though.
The new policy (PDF) states that all government organizations must include a requirement for their software suppliers to consider open-source options when implementing e-governance applications and systems.
Yeah, we considered it for several seconds. But we decided against it.
The U.S. also has also accumulated a $18 trillion national debt to pay for all that prosperity, all that "we've got the biggest dick" military spending, all that corporate welfare, all those entitlements, etc.
And it's growing at about $500 billion a year now.
When the credit card bill finally comes due some day, the party ends.
Women in any industry have long complained about an uneven playing field
Funny, but I have yet to hear a single complaint from any woman about discrimination in the coal mining, garbage pickup, or commercial fishing industries. Somehow they're cool with men dominating all the fields that require hard and dangerous work. I guess they're okay with inequality when they're not on the receiving end of 93% of all workplace fatalities, the way men are. Don't hear too much from them about THAT glass ceiling, do you?
Yes, it's causing an existential conflict between the hipster liberal side of Silicon Valley that's convinced that evil white males can do no good and women and minorities can do no wrong, and the ruthless capitalistic side that wants to make shitloads of money and just wants the best people for the job.
If they foist a wacky password or require one based on complex rules, it will either be written down, or be the most simple implementation of the rules.
LOL, I once did some contract work at a company who's IT department had some crazy stringent password requirements. You could walk around and find everyone's ridiculously long, complex password written on a post-it note on the side of their computer.
There should be a rule. The complexity of the password requirements and the number of password changes required each year are directly proportional to the chance the password will be written down and taped to the computer.
Yes, but I somehow doubt that a copilot suffering from a heart attack or medical problem (as the GP suggested) would have reacted by turning off the autopilot.
If a pilot or copilot wants to bring down a plane, it's unlikely there is any security procedure that could stop it. He didn't even need the locked door bit, He could have almost as easily just stabbed the captain when he turned his back.
Here you go: The American on board worked for a major intelligence contractor and was administering a mysterious $300 million contract for the Pentagon at the time of the crash.
Russian roads across the bulk of the country are shit. And they haven't even built a decent interstate system going across the country. And they can't even properly maintain the shit roads they already have. And the country is NOTORIOUS for intentional accident scams (why do you think that they have those dash cams?). And a sizable percentage of drivers there are drunk and/or crazy.
In short, who the fuck would want to drive across Russia if the alternative of even a slow boat is available?

Okay, add an extra 30 minutes to that several seconds for making up some reasonable-sounding bullshit reason and writing it down.
Arctic sea ice extent, area and volume have been dropping significantly for over 15 years and we could reach summer ice free conditions by 2020-2025.
In the year twenty-five twenty-five, if man is still alive, liberals will revise what they say, "ice free summer ten years awaaayy"

Anytime you hear the word "culture" in Quebec, watch out. It has a much more ominous overtone there than in most of the rest of the world.

Yes, it is having an effect on Silicon Valley.

Guess I better move to Europe.
Makes me glad I'm one of the last born Gen X'ers.
Yeah, we may not have H1B's either. But we do have the competitive advantage being over 40. We're a shoe-in to get hired!
Yeah, and did you SEE the "roads" he encountered trying to do it?

Yeah well that has no relevance in this case.

You mean give Oveur the top position again?
Here you go: The American on board worked for a major intelligence contractor and was administering a mysterious $300 million contract for the Pentagon at the time of the crash.
You're welcome.
A modern jet pretty much flies itself between takeoff and landing. He would have had to actively force the plane down to crash.
A huge wall seems like an ugly and in-elegant solution.
Don't worry. Godzilla will just knock it down anyway.
