Fiddling with graphic card drivers so they perform better on benchmarks is a way of life in the computer industry. No sane person would believe that only Nvidia ever does it. One would suspect that all the manufacturers do it (when they think they can get away with it)
I really would be amazed to find that only VW was using special code to pass the emissions tests. I have zero evidence to back up this wild accusation, but I do note that almost nobody ever gets the same mileage as the EPA tests.
Seriously, "accidentally" toss a lighted cigarette into the paper recycling bin in the server room on your way out one night. You'll be able to start fresh with the insurance money.
What does abiogenesis have to do with evolution? Those are 2 different questions. One is how life came from non-life, the other is how living things formed different species.
You missed the point. The best craftsman in the world can't make a clean cut with the $100 saw. The apprentice will have no trouble making clean cuts with the $1200 saw.
When I'm having an off day mentally, I will consciously decide to drive less aggressively. I will stay in the slow lane, leave a little extra room in front, and look three times before changing lanes. Far from perfect, but trying to do better.
We just passed a law basically saying "keep right, except to pass". Judging by comments on news articles about the law, this concept is utterly incomprehensible for a large number of drivers. Any number of folks seemed to think that as long as they were doing the speed limit, this rule didn't apply to them, and that it was ok to stay in the left lane all day.
My $100 Ryobi tile saw wobbles just enough to slightly chip the edges of every cut. The $1200 Bosch tile saw I rented does not wobble at all, and makes absolutely perfect cuts. Craftsman or no craftsman, the better tool produces better results.
Aluminized mylar has 95% IR reflectivity and 90% visible reflectivity. At.001" thickness I don't think you can call it "heavy". It might not make the drone "laser proof" but it sure can't hurt. Have the drone wobble or spin when it gets lased, and you are going to have a bitch of a time keeping the laser on one spot long enough to burn through.
I am amazed at how many people walk around head down and texting without a clue of their surroundings.
1. Girl standing on a busy downtown street corner, looking down at her phone, completely oblivious. A huge flat bed truck hauling an excavator is creeping around the apex of the corner and the side of the truck frame is getting closer and closer to her as the truck cuts off the corner. I finally realize she doesn't see the truck, now only inches away and grab her shoulder and pull her back a step. She is about to yell at me when she sees the truck, the back wheels of which are now rolling over the curb where her feet were 3 seconds earlier, and realizes how narrowly she just escaped.
2. Standing waiting for a light, a different girl, head down, texting, walks into me from behind. The top of her head actually hits me in the small of my back. I turn around and she looks up, looks up some more (I'm about 6'3", she's a tiny asian girl maybe 5'4" tops), finally says "You should watch where your'e going" WTF?
If you carry more fuel than you need you are carrying extra weight for no good reason. That extra weight costs you in total fuel consumption for the trip. Now do you understand?
In 1960 the average American male was 165 lbs and the average female was 140 lbs. Today those weights are 195 for men and 165 for women. At the same time airlines are continuously trying to add more seats. At some point it will pay off for the airline to use the actual weights of passengers instead of some assumed average to do their weight and balance calculations.

A friend was just diagnosed with ALS. He has a 3-5 year life expectancy at best. If this could give him a few more good years it would be awesome.

You win the internet. And coffee came out my nose. Well done indeed.

It wasn't a suitcase, it was a pencil case. http://www.officedepot.com/a/p.... About 5 by 8 inches.
It was about 6" by 10". It was built in a pencil case.
You seem to think abiogenesis is somehow part of evolution. They are two separate things. This is my point.
What does abiogenesis have to do with evolution? Those are 2 different questions. One is how life came from non-life, the other is how living things formed different species.

If someone were to come up with AutoCAD for Linux, I might be able to get work done on Linux. Until then Windows is the only option.

Cool idea. We could call the licensed programmers "Software Engineers", and have it actually be true.
So long Bangladesh.

Same thing happened at walmart when they bumped their lowest paid workers up to the minimum wage.
