Doesn't that depend? Do you want the vehicle to accelerate when you press the pedal? Or do you want the vehicle to not accelerate when you don't press the pedal?
That's what planes are for. They're superior in every respect, with the possible exception of energy use per passenger mile. It's not trains versus cars; it's trains versus airplanes.
Also the groping. There's a noted lack of it on trains (outside the private "sleeper" cars of course).
If WiscNet, a non-profit organization, can't provide service at lower prices than a for-profit corporation like AT&T without forced revenue from tax subsidies
They provide service to public schools, libraries, and local governments. ALL of its revenue comes from tax subsidies. As opposed to AT&T, which derives merely some of its revenue from tax subsidies, while other parts are derived from bribes for continued monopolies and subsequently jacked-up rates.
And thus you have opposed every single road improvement project, right? Since it's sure as hell not anyone else's problem to solve your traffic woes either.
However, I don't generally mind. So I'm a little 'left out' because people have to ask me what I've been up to. Big deal
Yeah, that was 15 years of my life. And now I decided I'd rather not be isolated any more, and this feeling of being 'left out' bothers the hell out of me. So I fixing it with (*coughs and looks sad*) facebook.
Few of them live near me. And the ones that do don't necessarily have a lot of the same hobbies. And most people my age don't check their email as often as they used to, instead relying on facebook...
I get emails for people who used a fake address on my domain as a throw-away address when they signed up for some web account. That's no different than someone else signing me up for junk mail; I have every right to ask the sender to stop, even if that ends up deleting the original person's account.
Someone out there lost a lot of Southwest Airlines mileage points because the requirement for bonus points was to sign up for their email newsletter for 6 months. After two I emailed customer service and had it canceled, pointing out that they had given a false address. Sucks to be them I guess.
I broke down, gave up, and made a facebook account last night. Apparently that's what I have to do if I want to keep up with my friends, rather than just sit home, alone but for Warcraft and Netflix.
Their security options were extensive and relatively easy to navigate. It did seem that they were asking the same questions over and over, where they could have just asked me once about some things and been done with it. I could see that someone not so good at diligently following each and every link on the page could accidentally leave some setting at default.
Overall it seemed fine, as long as I keep apps turned off. That I can live with.
Our entire sales staff consists of engineers. You know the type - got good grades in college, yes, but the social type of engineer, not the introverted perfectionists.
It seems to work. Yes they work on commission, but customers don't see them as know-nothing idiots. They all worked their way to a sales position by going through application support, so every one of them has the ability to help the customers troubleshoot problems, figure out solutions to new applications, and competently demo equipment.
It sounds like your company probably hired extroverted non-technical people for sales and introverted, detail-oriented people for R&D. Now it wants to take those R&D engineers and turn them into half sales people. That's going to fail. Hire the right people from the start and you'll find success.
If you insist on putting the wrong type of people in sales support roles, make sure there is a technically competent person to interface for them. A technical business analyst / technical marketing person can keep your non-social engineers from interacting directly with customers for the social feel-good stuff while allowing communication to flow unhindered for technical matters.
No no, use it. Register a domain like SonySomething.com. Put some Sony-related content on the first page and your database (filled with fake data) in the back.
It will take a while for Sony to take your domain from your for cybersquatting. If your content remains safe the whole time, your database is probably secure. If you find the content downloadable from Lulzsec, you have more work to do.
You can't trust a machine that's running malware to tell the truth when it tells you that it is now clean - because for all you know, the malware has hooked into the very API routines your anti-malware product depends upon.
Not when that malware failed to attain root access.
Cybermen are the zombies of Dr. Who. They can crop up all sorts of ways, and once there's a few, they can replicate themselves by preying on the living...
Has a store ever secretly slipped a loyalty card into your wallet? Then snuck it out each time you've visited? Even if you don't buy anything or pay cash?
Yeah, but it doesn't always lead to a lack of knowledge about the effort required for said labor.
I'm not knowledgeable about the mechanisms on my local garbage truck, but I understand how hard it is to work outside for 6 hours on a hot, sweaty day with a big pile of stench nearby, and I can appreciate that they do work I won't.
Iran, like China, has trucks that drive around triangulating unauthorized wireless signals. You can encrypt it all you want; that won't stop a few soldiers with guns from kicking in your door and shooting your wife.
People remember short, big events better than longer, less-severe events. One or two plane crashes into a few buildings are remembered more strongly than thousands of car crashes. One huge snowstorm is remembered more strongly than a two-month heat wave.
It's hard to convince someone how averages work when they choose to give increased weighting to items that deviate further from the norm...
Burning wood adds CO2 to the atmosphere that wasn't present before the wood was burned. Sure it was present last year, or five years ago, or twenty years ago, whenever the tree absorbed it as part of its growth. But it wasn't present just before burning.
So burning several forests does contribute to atmospheric CO2 right now. Whether that contribution is removed or not depends on whether we allow the forests to regrow, or if we take the opportunity to turn some of them into farmland or subdivisions.
So it would be okay if there were stores where, when you went inside to shop, the owner pick-pocketed you and made photocopies of your driver's license, all your receipts, and one or two of your credit cards? And then they took everything they found and shared it will all the other businesses in town?
Is that okay, as long as people who don't want to be tracked notice this and tell him "no"? Even if, when you tell him "no", he orders you out of his store? Oh, also every other store in town does the same thing?

(I jest.)
An abstraction layer?

I wonder how many of those contained people.
Somehow the fact that your quote includes a grammatical error makes it even more appropriate.

Ugh, I hated IM just as much. Maybe more. With IM I lose any sense of detachment because I have to respond right then.

When that average changes from -1 deg C to 1 deg C, there's a rather large meaning...
