A minute on google would have answered this for you.
No. During the 1990s, GPS employed a feature called Selective Availability that intentionally degraded civilian accuracy on a global basis.
In May 2000, at the direction of President Bill Clinton, the U.S. government ended its use of Selective Availability in order to make GPS more responsive to civil and commercial users worldwide.
The United States has no intent to ever use Selective Availability again.
The same page also describes military GPS receivers that use two frequencies vs. civilian GPS receivers using only one.
Well, if the unemployed don't have the skills required why should anyone hire them? Just how many people whose only skill is bolting bumpers on Ford Torinos do you think we need these days? The conservitards are all about people being responsible for their own predicaments. You aren't one of them are you? According to them those unemployed people should pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get themselves trained.
The "Free Market" lets employers go other places to hire. Now we would expect the companies that lost those employees to have to hire replacements, right? Maybe they can be the ones who hire the unemployed instead. And train them. Did you think about that?
Honestly, you can't have your cake and eat it too. Shouldn't we be glad that the companies that are raiding "dead enders" didn't go outside the U.S. to hire?
It's a bit like Google, Facebook, et al., where you are the product. Only in this case you are the QA. Bleeding edge distros like Fedora* and I'd wager others like Debian Sid and Ubuntu Artful will update to 4.13 and you get to be the guinea pig if you're using one of them.
* Yes, Fedora has already indicated that they're going to rebase the kernel in Fedora 25 and 26 to 4.13 after it's soaked in rawhide for a bit.
AFAIK most evidence points to the Vikings being here around 1000 CE.
The Bering land bridge was around 16,000 BCE. Even if you don't buy the land bridge theory, there's other evidence of humans in North America dating back to at least 10,000 BCE. If today's AmerIndian population, including Aztec, Mayan, Incan, First Nations, etc., etc., are descended from either of those peoples that still places them here long before the Vikings.
And then who, according to you, were the second to arrive?
Didn't Disney give Steve Jobs a controlling stake in exchange for Pixar?
So in essence it's really Pixar and Steve Jobs' estate, or Laurene Powell then.
Somewhat ironically her bio on Wikipedia says she "...advocates for policies concerning education and immigration reform, social justice and environmental conservation.
...there are quite a few autonomous systems already in place on today's aircraft -- including those that land the plane.
After a recent hard landing that made quite a few people inhale loudly–– If it was an autonomous system that was responsible for that landing I'll happy keep paying to have an experienced human land the plane I'm flying in.
And if that was a human, well, he or she needs more time in the simulator.
From what I can see, Artics (short for Articulated) are what we in the US would call a semi, a.k.a. variously as 18-wheeler, big rig, or a tractor-trailer rig.
When I think of lorries I generally think of a commercial-type vehicle that (almost) nobody would ever consider buying or driving as their regular daily driver.
Not sure I agree that pickup trucks are called lorries. When I think of lorries I generally think of a commercial-type vehicle that (almost) nobody would ever consider buying or driving as their regular daily driver. Yes, pickup trucks swing both ways, there are spartan "work truck" pickups – and the number one selling "car" in the US is actually the Ford F150 pickup[1].
In London a non-work pickup truck or other SUV might also be called a Chelsea Tractor, although I believe that term is really reserved for the high end SUVs (e.g. Range Rovers) that never actually go off-road.
Also, what are they talking about? "Fuel"?! It doesn't need fuel to travel in space, and the on-board equipment surely gets its power from solar cells?
Ha ha ha. No.
It doesn't get its power from solar cells, and it had propellant (fuel) for attitude adjustment.
[ the Apple ][ ] was one of the three "1977 Trinity" computers generally credited with creating the home computer market (the other two being the Commodore PET and the Tandy Corporation TRS-80)
So what did Apple do right (haters need not comment here)? Or What did Commodore and Radio Shack do wrong?
Slashdot Mirror
First, any device manufactured in the millions will include some faulty models...
I'f I'm doing my math correctly, In 10M devices we would expect 10 problems, right?
With seven nines, just one problem.
Off hand I'd say Apple's doing pretty good.
Equifax, right? But perhaps he went to Experian from Equifax; waiting for the next shoe to drop.

And I'll just have to buy something else instead.
Problem solved.
It's not like it's a giant tire fire or Chernobyl melting down.
er, right?
It seems there is. Who knew. A phone, but without the phone. What year is this?

Strongest earthquake in a century, or in this century?
Must be that climate change rearing its ugly head again.
Both actually. Even if msmash can't seem to cut-and-paste correctly.

The moon is 384K km away. This was over 20x further away.
I wish we had been warned. Then I could have spent lots of time not worrying about it in the least.
And did you tie an onion on your belt?
Another frikken dinosaur thinks things today should be like they were 100 years ago.
Vikings were first? Seriously?

Through a VPN.
Good luck Google figuring out who I am.
When you start sending me a check every month for my percentage – I'll take 75% thanks – then I'll rethink

Regardless of how big (or small) it is.

There is "cheap" and there is "inexpensive." Something that is inexpensive need not be cheap.
Are you the same AC that asked about solar cells?
Renewables? Genius!. Why didn't those guys at JPL think of that?
Seriously, Rick Perry, is that you?
Sounds meaningful.
Also, what are they talking about? "Fuel"?! It doesn't need fuel to travel in space, and the on-board equipment surely gets its power from solar cells?
Ha ha ha. No.

Did someone give Rick Perry an account on /. ?
"Bye Voyager McVoyagerface" is the winner.

Yes, it's really more of a rhetorical question.
