If you're drunk and you turn the key, you have broken the law. This invention determines whether you are currently breaking the law, not whether you're likely to do so, or have done so in the past.
It's not my car's job to be a nanny. It goes where I tell it, and if I feel like making it spin round and round, so be it. It's up to me to choose safe places for that stuff. What I want to know is this: doesn't anybody remember what it's like to stand on principle?
Found some plans a few years back from a guy in Oz - it uses a pulse jet and is launched from a pickup truck. He published everything but the avionics, so you'd have to come up with that on your own.
I'd rather not institute a zone of death in the US. Besides, this won't stem the flow of drugs, and now you've got several hundred snipers shooting people (and armadillos when they get bored)
It's quite profitable for some people, and all that's required is keeping 3mm people in prison, about 12000 murders per yer, drug gangs running roughshod over central/south america, and the erosion of our civil liberties. But hey, drugs are bad, m'kay?
If he chooses to use his service mostly for VoIP while I choose to use mine mostly for bittorrent, his packets should not get priority over mine. We paid the same amount.
So what? His packets are delay sensitive, while yours are not. On the flip side VOIP doesn't eat much bandwidth, at least for a residential use case.
Video cards seem to be the one aspect of computers that doesn't follow both Moore's Law and the cost reduction model that we've seen elsewhere.
How do you mean? Moore's law is all about transistor density - the fact that Nvidia maintains specific price points and varies performance to compete is irrelevant.
So. . . now, I'm planning on going to grad school. Maybe I'll get some actual good out of that. Because that seems to be the next "minimum requirement" for being a worthwhile employee, these days.
Get a good one and it'll kick your ass; I'm in a night program myself, and it's fairly demanding, with courses taught on a variety of interesting topics - next class is on computational biology.
and without a client key, you can spoof the login page (redirect to http if you like), add some JS that hands you the password, and you're done. Not sure what you expect to do with the token.
If it were me, I'd stalk them. seriously, follow them around until you get your meeting, and open it with "I'm trying to work on my level of communication". Then when they complain about how you don't talk with them later, ask them if you need to carpool with them.
It's also common that XYZ corp has 1500 desktops and can only prove that they paid for 1200 licenses, when in fact they have 1600 licenses and maybe some irregularities in documentation. Hence the appeal of site licenses, where you buy the thing twice.
Would you want a doctor who still exclusively used surgical techniques from the 50's to perform your open-heart surgery? Would you want a mechanic who hasn't learned anything new in 20 years to work on your Prius? Well, the IT world changes *way* faster than either of those fields.
Spoken like someone with only passing familiarity with surgery. Do you really think surgical techniques are a slow moving thing? Hell, most of the hot new stuff is a minor variation or evolution of 30-40 year old tech. Only the brand names change quickly.
The problem with the anthropic principle is not that it's provably wrong, but that it's not falsifiable. So it's amusing to speculate that it might be true, but doing so doesn't get you anywhere.
That's because it isn't a scientific theory, it's a philosophical argument.
How about the lady that put the McDonalds hot coffee (law requires it be a minimum temp, at least in my state) in her lap between her legs while driving? Well if you haven't she squeezed, it popped, she got burns in places you don't want burns. She ended up suing McDonalds, I don't recall the result on that one.
She sued for damages, as McD's had settled a number of similar cases like that. McD's turned her down, it went to a jury, who fined them 1 day's coffee sales. After the lawyers got paid, a judge reduced it on appeal, and the lawyers refused to reduce their take, so she bankrupted. McD's now serves coffee at a reasonable temp, not +20 of industry norms.

Yet we have been expecting self-driving cars since the 70's
It's called a train.
WHY ARE THEY BEING ALLOWED TO DRIVE AT ALL?
Because driving is a necessity for most people in the country due to our crappy public transit infrastructure.

A cruise missile with a 10kg payload cost about $5k each, last I checked.

It's like sci.crypt in the old days!

By which you mean teamsters? It's not like that's the only way to run a union.
They certainly don't show up with the sheriff and a swat team, or trash a bunch of computers because they don't understand this whole 'UNIX' thing.
It's also common that XYZ corp has 1500 desktops and can only prove that they paid for 1200 licenses, when in fact they have 1600 licenses and maybe some irregularities in documentation. Hence the appeal of site licenses, where you buy the thing twice.
It sounds like the majority of their value add is rooted in politics and translation.
I thought the punchline was "who the hell rides a bike in a chemical plant?"

information wants to be free like gas wants to expand.

However, in Africa, cell phones actually outnumber landlines because they are in fact cheaper than landlines to operate and build.
Translation: if you lay copper, thieves will steal it within a month.
I'd do that, just provided I trusted my company. Sounds like you've got a good plan.
If the company tanks, you may not get that compensation, or it may take a long time to get.
