First gear is more than enough to keep the car in place,
Again, no "pro" would ever tell someone to do this. You know why parking brakes exist? Because letting your gearbox take the strain of holding your car in place is one of the stupidest things you can do. Parking brakes exist for a reason. The people who design cars wouldn't put one in if it didn't have a use.
The problem lies with the electric parking brakes. ..
Funny, in all the decades I've driven, I've never had a single incident with a mechanical parking brake. Neither the one in the middle between the seats, or the one on the floor.
Considering his smarts, it sure seems dumb for Musk to reinvent the wheel, especially for something the end user has no control over whether it works or not. As I have said many times before, there's a reason mechanical light switches are still around. They work every time.
I've watched two f1 races and that's it this month.
That's what I do miss after I cut the cord; F1, BBC (news and Dr. Who) and college football. Aside from those three items, I honestly can't think of anything else I miss by not having tv. What I do remember is constantly flipping through channels either trying to find something to watch, or avoiding commercials.
If ESPN would broadcast college football without one having to be subscribed to a cable company, I would be very happy.
Marijuana had never, in the history of mankind, caused those events to occur.
No, of course not. As I said, marijuana has absolutely no effect on anyone. It's just coincidence when someone smokes/eats weed they suddenly behave completely differently than they always have and jump out a window or shoot themselves or drive really, really slowly or drive the wrong way on a road.
Nope, no effect whatsoever. Speaking of idiots. . .
with the way people are getting blacklisted for even meeting with trump or his team it makes perfect sense on why they wouldnt want to let that info out
If you're that much of a coward to not suffer the consequences of your actions, what else are you trying to hide?
The excuses from the con artist administration are just that, excuses. Bush did the exact same thing when he let the oil companies dictate our energy policy, claiming he needed "unbiased" information.
The swamp keeps filling and all people do is make excuses for why it's happening.
As we saw recently, the taxpayers keep being told they have to hand over their money to these private companies for. . . well, no one's really sure since neither service or accessibility has been increased in many places.
Take a look at the states who have passed laws to prohibit or effectively restrict municipal broadband. Citing a handful of states is cherry-picking. Of the states listed in the above report, 17 out of 24 voted for Trump and all of them have laws regarding municipal broadband.
In other words, 70% of states who voted red in the last presidential election and have laws restricting municipal broadband constitutes a pattern. Exactly as I said.
With lower prices, faster speeds and better service, you bet people would want municipal broadband. We've all seen what happens when there is no competition: the U.S. still isn't in the top ten of industrialized nations when it comes to broadband speeds (page 12 of the report).
I distinctly remember when my area got "competition" in broadband providers. Verizon came in and their CEO proudly stated, "We're not going to compete on price. We'll compete on quality." Well gee, thanks. To whom should I bend over for?
If Republicans would stop preventing broadband competition we'd be far better off. And before anyone wants to whine about being partisan, go take a look at the places which have outlawed municipal broadband. See the pattern?
I don't see a problem. Natural selection doing its thing.
We should be happy the herd is being culled. When enough people die eventually the remainder will become smart enough to realize they might want to look around when crossing the street.
This scam has gone on long enough. Holmes has never subjected her tests to government scrutiny, nor allowed anyone to try and replicate the results. And there's a good reason for that. Her tests don't work. Her own labs don't even use the tests. They use standard, verified, tests to do their work.
Holmes has done nothing over the years to show she has any intention of providing a real service. All she's done is bleed investors of their money.
Anyone who thinks getting shares of this scam company will somehow make the problems go away is delusional.
Sounds like Apple is following in Microsoft's footsteps. With each iteration of Windows they have made it more difficult for users to easily find and make changes. Widgets are buried in multiple, cascading menus and even then what used to be done in one place might now be done somewhere else.
Remember how you used to be able to see everything that was installed on your system, including updates, in one place? Nope, not any more. Now you have to go to a second screen for that and even then it might not show everything because parts might be back on the first screen.
Let's not even go into the shitstorm which is the Start menu. Not every program shows up there. Simple ones such as Notepad have to be "searched" for. Which brings up the next issue, having to search. Why should someone be forced to search for something when they should be able to go directly to it? Why the convoluted path? If the idea was to make things easier, Microsoft has failed miserably.
If it can compete against the steaming pile that is Windows 10 and the eye candy which is Macs, this is a good thing. Being able to buy a license for a machine and use it without being forced to "upgrade" or have updates automatically installed whether you want them or not would be a great leap forward.
Being able to run software which is a few years old but does what you want would also be a big plus.
While Ukraine is busy finding out how much was lost, and thus not usable for its troops, expect Russia to take advantage of this situation by trying to take more Ukrainian land.
Granted, they have failed repeatedly to do so in the Svitlodarska area, and even lost ground while trying, not to mention a few other places such as Avdiivka, but this won't deter them from losing more men on top of the nearly 3,000 soldiers they've already lost invading and attacking Ukraine.
It's near the frontline with the Russian troops who are shelling Ukrainian towns and villages every day as well as making ground attacks on Ukrainian positions, close enough to quickly resupply Ukrainian troops.
While large, this was probably in place from long ago, a relic of the Russian puppet Yanukovych. Since Ukraine didn't have the time or resources to move the munitions to proper storage before the Russians attacked, they used what they have.
The Russians had previously tried to attack this place late in 2015. With all the drones coming in from Russia, assuming this is the case, it was only a matter of time before they got a shot at this immobile target.
Windows 7 is almost 10 years old at this point. how long should MS support it for?
My car is over 10 years old. How long should the manufacturer still support it? At ten years of age do they say, "Oh sorry, we won't service it any more."? "Cracked windshield, blown muffler? Yeah, that's too bad. We don't carry what you need and oh by the way, you can't go to a third party and get it from them either."
No, I can't, because I'm not about to give up what little privacy I have to that POS site. If it's something worthwhile watching, put it on YouTube* so everyone can see it instead of being in another walled garden.
* This does not imply that everything on YouTube is worth watching

Protip: Stop using the partking brake entirely.

So you're arguing that these drugs don't get you high?
That's what I'm told about marijuana. It has no effect whatsoever which is why everyone wants to smoke it. No matter how many articles come out about people jumping out windows, shooting themselves, ignoring train whistles, thinking it's funny to give someone laced food without their knowledge, or driving the wrong way in traffic and killing people, I'm always told it's not the weed. It has to be something else because marijuana is perfectly safe.

Internet companies have invested an awful lot of money in having almost universal service now.
Yes, those billions of taxpayer dollars given to them during the Clinton administration, and the billions more in tax breaks and what amounts to effective monopolies, is a lot of money being spent by the end users. It's so much money, ISPs have to be reminded they can't spend taxpayer money on booze and trips to Disney World.

In other words, you have one point of failure. Power goes out, no business until the power is restored, no access to your money/accounts.
Sounds like a great opportunity for terrorists.
I see the value bitcoin skyrocketing right now....
Yes, skyrocketing down is an apt description. It's lost roughly 20% of its "value" this month (see chart in article).

It gives your laptop better battery life!
It could put CNN out of business
You mean Breitbart who literally, in the truest sense of the word, has put up false and fake information (it can't be called news). Even Bannon has called them out for posting fake information.
It's why companies have ditched advertising on the fake site.
But let me guess, "alternative facts"? Or is it a camera in a microwave?
And that brakes some automated system or dumb HR system has IT admin = ROOT and blocking root shuts down the system in full.
It would shut the system down, but only after the brakes are applied for a sufficient amount of time to bring everything to a halt.
If I buy something, will I be able to use cash and remain (relatively) anonymous or will I have to use Google Wallet?
